A regular past form, so one spelling does both jobs: the simple past (the boat rocked all night) and the participle after have or be. Only the transitive meanings can go into the passive, as in a city rocked by an earthquake or a family rocked by the news. The intransitive ones, swaying or doing well, stay active: the ship rocked, the band really rocked.
