The PAPR says that the property for specifying the number of SLBs should
be called "slb-size". We currently only look for "ibm,slb-size" because
this is what firmware actually presents.
This patch makes us look for the "slb-size" property as well and in
preference to the "ibm,slb-size". This should future proof us if
firmware changes to match PAPR.

Impact: New perf_counter features
A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU
whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for
a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system
cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where
it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0
bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made
readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we
have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able
to reset the error state on individual groups.
An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group
using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The
counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there
are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups
onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement
does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can
always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on).
With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU
registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will
perturb other measurements.
Along the way this reorganizes things a little:
- is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h.
- cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on
the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading
cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless.
- A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an
exclusive group on the CPU.
- counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called
from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task,
where we used to have essentially the same code.
- __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing
the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in
the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance
to be scheduled in.
Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that
attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in
some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other
group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that
restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than
to apply a new one.
This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited
and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not
propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it
should.

This makes sure that we call the platform-specific ppc_md.enable_pmcs
function on each CPU before we try to use the PMU on that CPU. If the
CPU goes off-line and then on-line, we need to do the enable_pmcs call
again, so we use the hw_perf_counter_setup hook to ensure that. It gets
called as each CPU comes online, but it isn't called on the CPU that is
coming up, so this adds the CPU number as an argument to it (there were
no non-empty instances of hw_perf_counter_setup before).
This also arranges to set the pmcregs_in_use field of the lppaca (data
structure shared with the hypervisor) on each CPU when we are using the
PMU and clear it when we are not. This allows the hypervisor to optimize
partition switches by not saving/restoring the PMU registers when we
aren't using the PMU.

The PowerMac kernel occasionally fails to bring up the secondary CPUs on
SMP, the trigger factor seem to be fairly random and related to location
of code and data.
This appears to be due to the initial loading of the TOC value by the
secondary processor which now happens before we clear HID4:RM_CI (Real
Mode Cache Invalidate). This bit should really be cleared before we do
any load or store other than fetching code.
This fix works based on the assumption that all SMP 64-bit PowerMacs use
variants of the 970, which fortunately is true, by explicitely clearing
that bit, adding an slbia for good measure as RM_CI mode is known to
create bogus ERAT entries.
I also removed some spurrious debug output that was left enabled by
mistake while at it.

Convert arch/powerpc/ over to long long based u64:
-#ifdef __powerpc64__
-# include <asm-generic/int-l64.h>
-#else
-# include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>
-#endif
+#include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>
This will avoid reoccuring spurious warnings in core kernel code that
comes when people test on their own hardware. (i.e. x86 in ~98% of the
cases) This is what x86 uses and it generally helps keep 64-bit code
32-bit clean too.

Enforce that the crash kernel region never overlaps the current kernel,
as it will be written directly on kexec load.
Also, default to the previous KDUMP_KERNELBASE if the start is 0.
Other architectures (x86, ia64) state that specifying the start address
0 (or omitting it) will result in the kernel allocating it. Before the
relocatable patch in 2.6.28, powerpc would adjust any other start value
to the hardcoded KDUMP_KERNELBASE of 32M.

This adds the back-end for the PMU on the PPC970 family.
The PPC970 allows events from the ISU to be selected in two different
ways. Rather than use alternative event codes to express this, we
instead use a single encoding for ISU events and express the
resulting constraint (that you can't select events from all three
of FPU/IFU/VPU, ISU and IDU/STS at the same time, since they all come
in through only 2 multiplexers) using a NAND constraint field, and
work out which multiplexer is used for ISU events at compute_mmcr
time.

This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access
PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed
for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will
hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably
not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't
include back-ends for any specific processors.
This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the
constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted
simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask +
64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of
expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers
feeding an event bus, with some events being available through
multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970.
Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for
each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible
combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination
that will fit.

Because 64-bit powerpc uses lazy (soft) interrupt disabling, it is
possible for a performance monitor exception to come in when the
kernel thinks interrupts are disabled (i.e. when they are
soft-disabled but hard-enabled). In such a situation the performance
monitor exception handler might have some processing to do (such as
process wakeups) which can't be done in what is effectively an NMI
handler.
This provides a way to defer that work until interrupts get enabled,
either in raw_local_irq_restore() or by returning from an interrupt
handler to code that had interrupts enabled. We have a per-processor
flag that indicates that there is work pending to do when interrupts
subsequently get re-enabled. This flag is checked in the interrupt
return path and in raw_local_irq_restore(), and if it is set,
perf_counter_do_pending() is called to do the pending work.

X has been failing to start on my quad G5 powermac since commit
1fd0f52583a85b21a394201b007bc1ee104b235d ("powerpc: Fix domain numbers
in /proc on 64-bit") went in. The reason is that the change allows X
to see the PCI-PCI bridge above the video card (previously it was
obscured by the fact that there were two "00" directories in
/proc/bus/pci), and the pciconfig_iobase system call on the bridge is
failing because of a hack that we have to return information about the
AGP bus when X asks about bus 0. This machine doesn't have an AGP bus
(it has PCI Express) and so the pciconfig_iobase call is returning -1,
which ultimately causes X to fail to start.
This fixes it by checking that we have an AGP bridge before
redirecting the pciconfig_iobase call to return information about the
AGP bus. With this, X starts successfully both on a quad G5 with
PCI Express and on an older dual G5 with AGP.

The current code for providing processor cache information in sysfs
has the following deficiencies:
- several complex functions that are hard to understand
- implicit recursion (cache_desc_release -> kobject_put -> cache_desc_release)
- explicit recursion (create_cache_index_info)
- use of two per-cpu arrays when one would suffice
- duplication of work on systems where CPUs share cache
Also, when I looked at implementing support for a shared_cpu_map
attribute, it was pretty much impossible to handle hotplug without
checking every single online CPU's cache_desc list and fixing things
up... not that this is a hot path, but it would have introduced
O(n^2)-ish behavior during boot. Addressing this involved rethinking
the core data structures used, which didn't lend itself to an
incremental approach.
This implementation maintains a "forest" (potentially more than one
tree) of cache objects which reflects the system's cache topology.
Cache objects are instantiated as needed as CPUs come online. A
per-cpu array is used mainly for sysfs-related bookkeeping; the
objects in the array just point to the appropriate points in the
forest.
This maintains compatibility with the existing code and includes some
enhancements:
- Implement the shared_cpu_map attribute, which is essential for
enabling userspace to discover the system's overall cache topology.
- Use cache-block-size properties if cache-line-size is not available.
I chose to place this implementation in a new file since it would have
roughly doubled the size of sysfs.c, which is already kind of messy.

There's a problem on some embedded platforms when we re-assign
everything on PCI, such as 44x. The generic code tries to avoid
assigning devices to addresses overlapping the low legacy
addresses such as VGA hard decoded areas using constants that
are unfortunately no good for us, as they don't take into account
the address translation we do to access PCI busses.
Thus we end up allocating things like IO BARs to 0, which is
technically legal, but will shadow hard decoded ports for use
by things like VGA cards.
This works around it by attempting to reserve legacy regions
before we try to assign addresses.
NOTE: This may have nasty side effects in cases I haven't tested
yet:
- We try to use FW mappings (ie. powermac) and the FW has allocated
a conflicting address over those legacy regions. This will typically
happen. I would expect the new code to just fail with an informative
message without harm but I haven't had a chance to test that scenario
yet.
- A device with fixed BARs overlapping those legacy addresses such
as an IDE controller in legacy mode is in the system. I don't know
for sure yet what will happen there, I have to test :-)
Ideally, we should change PCIBIOS_MIN_IO/MIN_MEM accross the board
to take a bus pointer so they can provide appropriate per-bus translated
values to the generic code but that's a more invasive patch. I will
do that in the future, but in the meantime, this fixes the problem
locally

It's never used.

"numcams = mfspr(SPRN_TLB1CFG) & 0xfff", is a whole lot simpler than a

Some assembly code in head_fsl_booke.S hard-coded the size of struct tlbcam
to 20 when it indexed the TLBCAM table. Anyone changing the size of struct
tlbcam would not know to expect that.
The kernel already has a system to get the size of C structures into
assembly language files, asm-offsets, so let's use it.
The definition of the struct gets moved to a header, so that asm-offsets.c

Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for
KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace.
For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit
types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace
extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing
down the workloads we wanted to measure.
Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm
code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory.
As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a
.config entry and should be off by default.
Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now
merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still
working with exit timing disabled in .config).

Formerly, we used to maintain a per-vcpu shadow TLB and on every entry to the
guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of
memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also
required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry.
Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly
into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as
part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half
the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits,
at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some
guest entries.
These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which
implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the
need to walk arrays in software).
In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of
leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all
subsequent tasks to re-fault all their mappings.

The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.
In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.
This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.

The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the
global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls
to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have
been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time
to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time
instead of the scaled user time.
To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges
account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and
account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.

This adds support for 16k and 64k page sizes on PowerPC 44x processors.
The PGDIR table is much smaller than a page when using 16k or 64k
pages (512 and 32 bytes respectively) so we allocate the PGDIR with
kzalloc() instead of __get_free_pages().
One PTE table covers rather a large memory area when using 16k or 64k
pages (32MB or 512MB respectively), so we can easily put FIXMAP and
PKMAP in the area covered by one PTE table.

Ensure that total memory size is page-aligned, because otherwise
mark_bootmem() gets upset.
This error case was triggered by using 64 KiB pages in the kernel
while arch/powerpc/boot/4xx.c arbitrarily reduced the amount of memory
by 4096 (to work around a chip bug that affects the last 256 bytes of
physical memory).

arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary
format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable
stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could
be removed without replacement.
What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
to map the vdso.

Add the ability for a classic ppc kernel to be loaded at an address
of 32MB. This done by fixing a few places that assume we are loaded
at address 0, and by changing several uses of KERNELBASE to use
PAGE_OFFSET, instead.

Refactor the setting of kdump OF properties, moving the common code
from machine_kexec_64.c to machine_kexec.c where it can be used on
both ppc64 and ppc32. This will be needed for kdump to work on ppc32
platforms.
