ptrace flags
PPC_PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO, PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG and PPC_PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG are
PowerPC specific ptrace flags that use the watchpoint register. While they are
targeted primarily towards BookE users, user-space applications such as GDB
have started using them for BookS too. This patch enables the use of generic
hardware breakpoint interfaces for these new flags.
Apart from the usual benefits of using generic hw-breakpoint interfaces, these
changes allow debuggers (such as GDB) to use a common set of ptrace flags for
their watchpoint needs and allow more precise breakpoint specification (length
of the variable can be specified).
Mikey added: rebased and added dbginfo.features around #ifdef

The function initialize_flash_pde_data is only called four times. All four
calls are in the function rtas_flash_init, and on the failure of any of the
calls, remove_flash_pde is called on the third argument of each of the
calls. There is thus no need for initialize_flash_pde_data to call
remove_flash_pde on the same argument. remove_flash_pde kfrees the data
field of its argument, and does not clear that field, so this amounts ot a
possible double free.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

There're couples of functions defined to print debugging messages
during initializing P7IOC. However, we got bogus output from those
functions like pe_info(). The problem here is that the message
level (the first parameter to printk()) isn't printable and that
caused the bogus output.
The patch fixes the issue by merging __pe_printk() to the macro
define_pe_printk_level() so that we can pass the message level
directly to printk().

It is possible to configure a kernel which has xmon enabled, but has no
udbg backend to provide IO. This can make xmon rather confusing, as it
produces no output, blocks for two seconds, and then returns.
As a last resort we can instead try to printk(), which may deadlock or
otherwise crash, but tries quite hard not to.

Currently xmon_depth_to_print is static and global, but it's only
ever used in xmon_show_stack().
At least with a modern compiler it's inlined, so there's no point
in it being static, we could #define it but it's only used in one
place.
By reworking the logic we can drop count and just decrement the
max value as a loop counter. Also switch to a while loop so we
actually print no more than 64 frames as you'd expect based on the
variable name.

The routines in start.c are only ever called from nonstdio.c, so if we

This patch moves the notification chain for updates to the device tree
from the powerpc/pseries code to the base OF code. This makes this
functionality available to all architectures.
Additionally the notification chain is updated to allow notifications
for property add/remove/update. To make this work a pointer to a new
struct (of_prop_reconfig) is passed to the routines in the notification chain.
The of_prop_reconfig property contains a pointer to the node containing the
property and a pointer to the property itself. In the case of property
updates, the property pointer refers to the new property.

In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace,
add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded
in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on
exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously
interlaced.
Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large
timestamp values.
v2:
Move arch-specific bits out of generic code.
v3:
Rename "x86-tsc", cleanups
v7:

No functional changes.
powerpc is the only user of arch_uprobe_enable/disable_step() helpers,
but they should die. They can not be used correctly, every arch needs
its own implementation (like x86 does). And they do not really help
even as initial-and-almost-working code, arch_uprobe_*_xol() hooks can
easily use user_enable/disable_single_step() directly.
Change arch_uprobe_*_step() to do nothing, and convert powerpc to use
ptrace helpers. This is equally wrong, powerpc needs the arch-specific
fixes.

The SO_ATTACH_FILTER option is set only. I propose to add the get
ability by using SO_ATTACH_FILTER in getsockopt. To be less
irritating to eyes the SO_GET_FILTER alias to it is declared. This
ability is required by checkpoint-restore project to be able to
save full state of a socket.
There are two issues with getting filter back.
First, kernel modifies the sock_filter->code on filter load, thus in
order to return the filter element back to user we have to decode it
into user-visible constants. Fortunately the modification in question
is interconvertible.
Second, the BPF_S_ALU_DIV_K code modifies the command argument k to
speed up the run-time division by doing kernel_k = reciprocal(user_k).
Bad news is that different user_k may result in same kernel_k, so we
can't get the original user_k back. Good news is that we don't have
to do it. What we need to is calculate a user2_k so, that
reciprocal(user2_k) == reciprocal(user_k) == kernel_k
i.e. if it's re-loaded back the compiled again value will be exactly
the same as it was. That said, the user2_k can be calculated like this
user2_k = reciprocal(kernel_k)
with an exception, that if kernel_k == 0, then user2_k == 1.
The optlen argument is treated like this -- when zero, kernel returns
the amount of sock_fprog elements in filter, otherwise it should be
large enough for the sock_fprog array.

* Declared SO_GET_FILTER in all arch headers

Commit 55b665b026 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a way for userspace
to get/set per-vCPU areas") includes a check on the length of the
dispatch trace log (DTL) to make sure the buffer is at least one entry
long. This is appropriate when registering a buffer, but the
interface also allows for any existing buffer to be unregistered by
specifying a zero address. In this case the length check is not
appropriate. This makes the check conditional on the address being
non-zero.

Currently the code that accounts stolen time tends to overestimate the
stolen time, and will sometimes report more stolen time in a DTL
(dispatch trace log) entry than has elapsed since the last DTL entry.
This can cause guests to underflow the user or system time measured
for some tasks, leading to ridiculous CPU percentages and total runtimes
being reported by top and other utilities.
In addition, the current code was designed for the previous policy where
a vcore would only run when all the vcpus in it were runnable, and so
only counted stolen time on a per-vcore basis. Now that a vcore can
run while some of the vcpus in it are doing other things in the kernel
(e.g. handling a page fault), we need to count the time when a vcpu task
is preempted while it is not running as part of a vcore as stolen also.
To do this, we bring back the BUSY_IN_HOST vcpu state and extend the
vcpu_load/put functions to count preemption time while the vcpu is
in that state. Handling the transitions between the RUNNING and
BUSY_IN_HOST states requires checking and updating two variables
(accumulated time stolen and time last preempted), so we add a new
spinlock, vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock. This protects both the per-vcpu
stolen/preempt-time variables, and the per-vcore variables while this
vcpu is running the vcore.
Finally, we now don't count time spent in userspace as stolen time.
The task could be executing in userspace on behalf of the vcpu, or
it could be preempted, or the vcpu could be genuinely stopped. Since
we have no way of dividing up the time between these cases, we don't
count any of it as stolen.

Currently the Book3S HV code implements a policy on multi-threaded
processors (i.e. POWER7) that requires all of the active vcpus in a
virtual core to be ready to run before we run the virtual core.
However, that causes problems on reset, because reset stops all vcpus
except vcpu 0, and can also reduce throughput since all four threads
in a virtual core have to wait whenever any one of them hits a
hypervisor page fault.
This relaxes the policy, allowing the virtual core to run as soon as
any vcpu in it is runnable. With this, the KVMPPC_VCPU_STOPPED state
and the KVMPPC_VCPU_BUSY_IN_HOST state have been combined into a single
KVMPPC_VCPU_NOTREADY state, since we no longer need to distinguish
between them.

If a thread in a virtual core becomes runnable while other threads
in the same virtual core are already running in the guest, it is
possible for the latecomer to join the others on the core without
first pulling them all out of the guest. Currently this only happens
rarely, when a vcpu is first started. This fixes some bugs and
omissions in the code in this case.
First, we need to check for VPA updates for the latecomer and make
a DTL entry for it. Secondly, if it comes along while the master
vcpu is doing a VPA update, we don't need to do anything since the
master will pick it up in kvmppc_run_core. To handle this correctly
we introduce a new vcore state, VCORE_STARTING. Thirdly, there is
a race because we currently clear the hardware thread's hwthread_req
before waiting to see it get to nap. A latecomer thread could have
its hwthread_req cleared before it gets to test it, and therefore
never increment the nap_count, leading to messages about wait_for_nap
timeouts.

There were a few places where we were traversing the list of runnable
threads in a virtual core, i.e. vc->runnable_threads, without holding
the vcore spinlock. This extends the places where we hold the vcore
spinlock to cover everywhere that we traverse that list.
Since we possibly need to sleep inside kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault,
this moves the call of it from kvmppc_handle_exit out to
kvmppc_vcpu_run, where we don't hold the vcore lock.
In kvmppc_vcore_blocked, we don't actually need to check whether
all vcpus are ceded and don't have any pending exceptions, since the
caller has already done that. The caller (kvmppc_run_vcpu) wasn't
actually checking for pending exceptions, so we add that.
The change of if to while in kvmppc_run_vcpu is to make sure that we
never call kvmppc_remove_runnable() when the vcore state is RUNNING or
EXITING.

Subsequent patches implementing in-kernel XICS emulation will make it
possible for IPIs to arrive at secondary threads at arbitrary times.
This fixes some races in how we start the secondary threads, which
if not fixed could lead to occasional crashes of the host kernel.
This makes sure that (a) we have grabbed all the secondary threads,
and verified that they are no longer in the kernel, before we start
any thread, (b) that the secondary thread loads its vcpu pointer
after clearing the IPI that woke it up (so we don't miss a wakeup),
and (c) that the secondary thread clears its vcpu pointer before
incrementing the nap count. It also removes unnecessary setting
of the vcpu and vcore pointers in the paca in kvmppc_core_vcpu_load.

When a Book3S HV KVM guest is running, we need the host to be in
single-thread mode, that is, all of the cores (or at least all of
the cores where the KVM guest could run) to be running only one
active hardware thread. This is because of the hardware restriction
in POWER processors that all of the hardware threads in the core
must be in the same logical partition. Complying with this restriction
is much easier if, from the host kernel's point of view, only one
hardware thread is active.
This adds two hooks in the SMP hotplug code to allow the KVM code to
make sure that secondary threads (i.e. hardware threads other than
thread 0) cannot come online while any KVM guest exists. The KVM
code still has to check that any core where it runs a guest has the
secondary threads offline, but having done that check it can now be
sure that they will not come online while the guest is running.

The new uapi framework splits kernel internal and user space exported
bits of header files more cleanly. Adjust the ePAPR header accordingly.

The mtspr/mfspr emulation code became quite big over time. Move it
into its own function so things stay more readable.

When remembering the direction of a DCR transaction, we should write
to the same variable that we interpret on later when doing vcpu_run
again.

This patch filters noslot pfn out from error pfns based on Marcelo comment:
noslot pfn is not a error pfn
After this patch,
- is_noslot_pfn indicates that the gfn is not in slot
- is_error_pfn indicates that the gfn is in slot but the error is occurred
when translate the gfn to pfn
- is_error_noslot_pfn indicates that the pfn either it is error pfns or it
is noslot pfn
And is_invalid_pfn can be removed, it makes the code more clean

vtime_account_system() currently has only one caller with
vtime_account() which is irq safe.
Now we are going to call it from other places like kvm where
irqs are not always disabled by the time we account the cputime.
So let's make it irqsafe. The arch implementation part is now
prefixed with "__".
vtime_account_idle() arch implementation is prefixed accordingly
to stay consistent.
