This patch implements the lwarx/ldarx hint bit for bit locks.
Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

Recent versions of the PowerPC architecture added a hint bit to the larx
instructions to differentiate between an atomic operation and a lock operation:
> 0 Other programs might attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by EA
> even if the subsequent Store Conditional succeeds.
>
> 1 Other programs will not attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by
> EA until the program that has acquired the lock performs a subsequent store
> releasing the lock.
To avoid a binutils dependency this patch create macros for the extended lwarx
format and uses it in the spinlock code. To test this change I used a simple
test case that acquires and releases a global pthread mutex:
pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
On a 32 core POWER6, running 32 test threads we spend almost all our time in
the futex spinlock code:
94.37% perf [kernel] [k] ._raw_spin_lock
|
|--99.95%-- ._raw_spin_lock
| |
| |--63.29%-- .futex_wake
| |
| |--36.64%-- .futex_wait_setup
Which is a good test for this patch. The results (in lock/unlock operations per
second) are:
before: 1538203 ops/sec
after: 2189219 ops/sec
An improvement of 42%
A 32 core POWER7 improves even more:
before: 1279529 ops/sec
after: 2282076 ops/sec
An improvement of 78%

I often get asked if BAD interrupts are really bad. On some boxes (eg
IBM machines running a hypervisor) there are valid cases where are
presented with an interrupt that is not for us. These cases are common
enough to show up as thousands of BAD interrupts a day.
Tone them down by calling them spurious. Since they can be a significant cause
of OS jitter, we may as well log them per cpu so we know where they are
occurring.

/proc/interrupts
With NO_HZ it is useful to know how often the decrementer is going off. The
patch below adds an entry for it and also adds it into the /proc/stat
summaries.
While here, I added performance monitoring and machine check exceptions.
I found it useful to keep an eye on the PMU exception rate
when using the perf tool. Since it's possible to take a completely
handled machine check on a System p box it also sounds like a good idea to
keep a machine check summary.
The event naming matches x86 to keep gratuitous differences to a minimum.

On a large machine I noticed the columns of /proc/interrupts failed to line up
with the header after CPU9. At sufficiently large numbers of CPUs it becomes
impossible to line up the CPU number with the counts.
While fixing this I noticed x86 has a number of updates that we may as well
pull in. On PowerPC we currently omit an interrupt completely if there is no
active handler, whereas on x86 it is printed if there is a non zero count.
The x86 code also spaces the first column correctly based on nr_irqs.

Right now we allocate a cacheline sized NR_CPUS array for xics IPI
communication. Use DECLARE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED to put it in percpu
data in its own cacheline since it is written to by other cpus.
On a kernel with NR_CPUS=1024, this saves quite a lot of memory:
text data bss dec hex filename
8767779 2944260 1505724 13217763 c9afe3 vmlinux.irq_cpustat

During a EEH recover, the pci_dev structure can be null, mainly if an
eeh event is detected during cpi config operation. In this case, the
pci_dev will not be known (and will be null) the kernel will crash

This follows the parisc change to ensure that tracehook_signal_handler()
is aware of when we are single-stepping in order to ptrace_notify()
appropriately. While this was implemented for 32-bit SH, sh64 neglected
to make use of TIF_SINGLESTEP when it was folded in with the 32-bit code,
resulting in ptrace_notify() never being called.
As sh64 uses all of the other abstractions already, this simply plugs in
the thread flag in the appropriate enable/disable paths and fixes up the
tracehook notification accordingly. With this in place, sh64 is brought
in line with what 32-bit is already doing.

Mike Frysinger pointed out that calling tracehook_signal_handler with
stepping=0 missed testing the thread flags, resulting in not calling
ptrace_notify. Fix this by testing if we're single stepping or branch
stepping and setting the flag accordingly.
Tested, seems to work.

In its <asm/elf.h> ia64 defines SET_PERSONALITY in a way that unconditionally
sets the personality of the current process to PER_LINUX, losing any flag bits
from the upper 3 bytes of current->personality. This is wrong. Those bits are
intended to be inherited across exec (other code takes care of ensuring that
security sensitive bits like ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE are not passed to unsuspecting
setuid/setgid applications).

As reported by Maxime Bizon, the commit "MIPS: PowerTV: Fix support for
timer interrupts with > 64 external IRQs" have broken the r4k timer
since it didn't initialize the cp0_compare_irq_shift variable used in
c0_compare_int_pending() on the architectures whose cpu_has_mips_r2 is
false.
This patch fixes it via initializing the cp0_compare_irq_shift as the
cp0_compare_irq used in the old c0_compare_int_pending().

We need to fall back from logical-flat APIC mode to physical-flat mode
when we have more than 8 CPUs. However, in the presence of CPU
hotplug(with bios listing not enabled but possible cpus as disabled cpus in
MADT), we have to consider the number of possible CPUs rather than
the number of current CPUs; otherwise we may cross the 8-CPU boundary
when CPUs are added later.
32bit apic code can use more cleanups (like the removal of vendor checks in
32bit default_setup_apic_routing()) and more unifications with 64bit code.
Yinghai has some patches in works already. This patch addresses the boot issue
that is reported in the virtualization guest context.

Commit f71dc176aa06359681c30ba6877ffccab6fba3a6 'Make
hpte_need_flush() correctly mask for multiple page sizes' introduced
bug, which is triggered when a kernel with a 64k base page size is run
on a system whose hardware does not 64k hash PTEs. In this case, we
emulate 64k pages with multiple 4k hash PTEs, however in
hpte_need_flush() we incorrectly only mask the hardware page size from
the address, instead of the logical page size. This causes things to
go wrong when we later attempt to iterate through the hardware
subpages of the logical page.
This patch corrects the error. It has been tested on pSeries bare
metal by Michael Neuling.
