The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some
server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch
of data streams.
The kernel already supports DSCR value per thread but there is also
a need in a ability to change it from an external process for
the specific pid.
The patch adds new register index PT_DSCR (index=44) which can be
set/get by:
ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, traced_process, PT_DSCR << 3, dscr);
dscr = ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, traced_process, PT_DSCR << 3, NULL);
The patch does not increase PT_REGS_COUNT as the pt_regs struct has not
been changed.

The External Proxy Facility in FSL BookE chips allows the interrupt
controller to automatically acknowledge an interrupt as soon as a
core gets its pending external interrupt delivered.
Today, user space implements the interrupt controller, so we need to
check on it during such a cycle.
This patch implements logic for user space to enable EPR exiting,
disable EPR exiting and EPR exiting itself, so that user space can
acknowledge an interrupt when an external interrupt has successfully
been delivered into the guest vcpu.

When injecting an interrupt into guest context, we usually don't need
to check for requests anymore. At least not until today.
With the introduction of EPR, we will have to create a request when the
guest has successfully accepted an external interrupt though.
So we need to prepare the interrupt delivery to abort guest entry
gracefully. Otherwise we'd delay the EPR request.

When running on top of pHyp, the hypercall instruction "sc 1" goes
straight into pHyp without trapping in supervisor mode.
So if we want to support PAPR guest in this configuration we need to
add a second way of accessing PAPR hypercalls, preferably with the
exact same semantics except for the instruction.
So let's overlay an officially reserved instruction and emulate PAPR
hypercalls whenever we hit that one.

On POWER7 when we have really small counts left before overflow, we can take a
PMU IRQ, but the PMC gets wound back to just before the overflow.
If the kernel is setting the PMC to a value just before the overflow, we can
get interrupted again without the PMC making any progress (ie another buggy
overflow). In this case, we can end up making no forward progress, with the
PMC interrupt returning us to the same count over and over.
The below detects when we are making no forward progress (ie. delta = 0) and
then increases the amount left before the overflow. This stops us from locking
up.

If a PMC is about to overflow on a counter that's on an active perf event
(ie. less than 256 from the end) and a _different_ PMC overflows just at this
time (a PMC that's not on an active perf event), we currently mark the event as
found, but in reality it's not as it's likely the other PMC that caused the
IRQ. Since we mark it as found the second catch all for overflows doesn't run,
and we don't reset the overflowing PMC ever. Hence we keep hitting that same
PMC IRQ over and over and don't reset the actual overflowing counter.
This is a rewrite of the perf interrupt handler for book3s to get around this.
We now check to see if any of the PMCs have actually overflowed (ie >=
0x80000000). If yes, record it for active counters and just reset it for
inactive counters. If it's not overflowed, then we check to see if it's one of
the buggy power7 counters and if it is, record it and continue. If none of the
PMCs match this, then we make note that we couldn't find the PMC that caused
the IRQ.

The DDW code uses a eeh_dev struct from the pci_dev. However, this is
not set until eeh_add_device_late is called.
Since pci_bus_add_devices is called before eeh_add_device_late, the PCI
devices are added to the bus, making drivers' probe hooks to be called.
These will call set_dma_mask, which will call the DDW code, which will
require the eeh_dev struct from pci_dev. This would result in a crash,
due to a NULL dereference.
Calling eeh_add_device_late after pci_bus_add_devices would make the
system BUG, because device files shouldn't be added to devices there
were not added to the system. So, a new function is needed to add such
files only after pci_bus_add_devices have been called.

When a device DMA window includes the address 0, it's reserved in the
TCE bitmap to avoid returning that address to drivers.
When the device is removed, the bitmap is checked for any mappings not
removed by the driver, indicating a possible DMA mapping leak. Since the
reserved address is not cleared, a message is printed, warning of such a
leak.
Check for the reservation, and clear it before checking for any other
standing mappings.

This is a rewrite so that we don't assume we are using the DABR throughout the
code. We now use the arch_hw_breakpoint to store the breakpoint in a generic
manner in the thread_struct, rather than storing the raw DABR value.
The ptrace GET/SET_DEBUGREG interface currently passes the raw DABR in from
userspace. We keep this functionality, so that future changes (like the POWER8
DAWR), will still fake the DABR to userspace.

through a pointer on 64bit
The ppc64 ABI has a static chain register (r11) which is only used
when calling nested functions through a pointer. Considering that
we take a dim view of nested functions in the kernel, we have a lot
of unnecessary overhead here.
gcc 4.7 has an option to disable loading of r11 so lets use it.
If hell freezes over and hipsters manage to litter the kernel
with nested functions, gcc will give us an error message and
won't simply compile bad code:
You cannot take the address of a nested function if you use
the -mno-pointers-to-nested-functions option.
Furthermore our kernel module trampolines don't setup the static
chain register so adding this option and forcing gcc to error out
makes even more sense.

[PATCH 6/6] powerpc: Implement PPR save/restore
When the task enters in to kernel space, the user defined priority (PPR)
will be saved in to PACA at the beginning of first level exception
vector and then copy from PACA to thread_info in second level vector.
PPR will be restored from thread_info before exits the kernel space.
P7/P8 temporarily raises the thread priority to higher level during
exception until the program executes HMT_* calls. But it will not modify
PPR register. So we save PPR value whenever some register is available
to use and then calls HMT_MEDIUM to increase the priority. This feature
supports on P7 or later processors.
We save/ restore PPR for all exception vectors except system call entry.
GLIBC will be saving / restore for system calls. So the default PPR
value (3) will be set for the system call exit when the task returned
to the user space.

By using the compiler intrinsics instead of hand-crafted opaque inline
assembler for byte-swapping, we let the compiler see what's actually
happening and it gets to use lwbrx/stwbrx instructions instead of a
normal load/store coupled with a sequence of rlwimi instructions to
move bits around.

For PR KVM we allow userspace to map 0xc000000000000000. Because
transitioning from userspace to the guest kernel may use the relocated
exception vectors we have to disable relocation on exceptions whenever
PR KVM is active as we cannot trust that address.
This issue does not apply to HV KVM, since changing from a guest to the
hypervisor will never use the relocated exception vectors.
Currently the hypervisor interface only allows us to toggle relocation
on exceptions on a partition wide scope, so we need to globally disable
relocation on exceptions when the first PR KVM instance is started and
only re-enable them when all PR KVM instances have been destroyed.
It's a bit heavy handed, but until the hypervisor gives us a lightweight
way to toggle relocation on exceptions on a single thread it's only real
option.

Motivation:
IBM Blue Gene/Q comes with some very strange firmware that I'm trying to get out
of using in the kernel. So instead I spin all the threads in the boot wrapper
(using the firmware) and have them enter the kexec stub, pre-translated at the
virtual "linear" address, never touching firmware again.
This works strategy works wonderfully, but I need the following patch in the
kexec stub. I believe it should not effect Book3S and Book3E does not appear
to be here yet so I'd love to get any criticisms up front.
This patch adds two items:
1) Book3e requires that GPR4 survive the "hold" process, so we make
sure that happens.
2) Book3e has no real mode, and the hold code exploits this. Since
these processors ares always translated, we arrange for the kexeced
threads to enter the hold code using the normal kernel linear mapping.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.
Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:
# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.
On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc)

The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means
our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do
this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of
variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a
RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it.
32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c
with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually.
Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would
have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a
large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data).
The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates
more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot.
Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even
if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC.
This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of
prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to
process which helps keep boot times on simulators down.
gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be
safe we may want a build time script which passes through the
prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.

This patch actually hooks up doorbell interrupts on POWER8:
- Select the PPC_DOORBELL Kconfig option from PPC_PSERIES
- Add the doorbell CPU feature bit to POWER8
- We define a new pSeries_cause_ipi_mux() function that issues a
doorbell interrupt if the recipient is another thread within the same
core as the sender. If the recipient is in a different core it falls
back to using XICS to deliver the IPI as before.
- During pSeries_smp_probe() at boot, we check if doorbell interrupts
are supported. If they are we set the cause_ipi function pointer to
the above mentioned function, otherwise we leave it as whichever XICS
cause_ipi function was determined by xics_smp_probe().
