Benjamin Herrenschmidt 1b70117924 powerpc: Improve behaviour of irq tracing on 64-bit exception entry
Some exceptions would unconditionally disable interrupts on entry,
which is fine, but calling lockdep every time not only adds more
overhead than strictly needed, but also means we get quite a few
"redudant" disable logged, which makes it hard to spot the really
bad ones.

So instead, split the macro used by the exception code into a
normal one and a separate one used when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is
enabled, and make the later skip th tracing if interrupts were
already disabled.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt fe1952fc0a powerpc: Rework runlatch code
This moves the inlines into system.h and changes the runlatch
code to use the thread local flags (non-atomic) rather than
the TIF flags (atomic) to keep track of the latch state.

The code to turn it back on in an asynchronous interrupt is
now simplified and partially inlined.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 7450f6f03e powerpc: Use the same interrupt prolog for perfmon as other interrupts
The perfmon interrupt is the sole user of a special variant of the
interrupt prolog which differs from the one used by external and timer
interrupts in that it saves the non-volatile GPRs and doesn't turn the
runlatch on.

The former is unnecessary and the later is arguably incorrect, so
let's clean that up by using the same prolog. While at it we rename
that prolog to use the _ASYNC prefix.

Anton Blanchard a6cf7ed511 powerpc/atomic: Implement atomic*_inc_not_zero
Implement atomic_inc_not_zero and atomic64_inc_not_zero. At the
moment we use atomic*_add_unless which requires us to put 0 and
1 constants into registers. We can also avoid a subtract by
saving the original value in a second temporary.

Mahesh Salgaonkar b500afff11 fadump: Invalidate registration and release reserved memory for general use.
This patch introduces an sysfs interface '/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem' to
invalidate the last fadump registration, invalidate '/proc/vmcore', release
the reserved memory for general use and re-register for future kernel dump.
Once the dump is copied to the disk, unlike phyp dump, the userspace tool
can release all the memory reserved for dump with one single operation of
echo 1 to '/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem'.

Release the reserved memory region excluding the size of the memory required
for future kernel dump registration. And therefore, unlike kdump, Fadump
doesn't need a 2nd reboot to get back the system to the production
configuration.

Mahesh Salgaonkar ebaeb5ae24 fadump: Convert firmware-assisted cpu state dump data into elf notes.
When registered for firmware assisted dump on powerpc, firmware preserves
the registers for the active CPUs during a system crash. This patch reads
the cpu register data stored in Firmware-assisted dump format (except for
crashing cpu) and converts it into elf notes and updates the PT_NOTE program
header accordingly. The exact register state for crashing cpu is saved to
fadump crash info structure in scratch area during crash_fadump() and read
during second kernel boot.

Mahesh Salgaonkar 2df173d9e8 fadump: Initialize elfcore header and add PT_LOAD program headers.
Build the crash memory range list by traversing through system memory during
the first kernel before we register for firmware-assisted dump. After the
successful dump registration, initialize the elfcore header and populate
PT_LOAD program headers with crash memory ranges. The elfcore header is
saved in the scratch area within the reserved memory. The scratch area starts
at the end of the memory reserved for saving RMR region contents. The
scratch area contains fadump crash info structure that contains magic number
for fadump validation and physical address where the eflcore header can be
found. This structure will also be used to pass some important crash info
data to the second kernel which will help second kernel to populate ELF core
header with correct data before it gets exported through /proc/vmcore. Since
the firmware preserves the entire partition memory at the time of crash the
contents of the scratch area will be preserved till second kernel boot.

Since the memory dump exported through /proc/vmcore is in ELF format similar
to kdump, it will help us to reuse the kdump infrastructure for dump capture
and filtering. Unlike phyp dump, userspace tool does not need to refer any
sysfs interface while reading /proc/vmcore.

NOTE: The current design implementation does not address a possibility of
introducing additional fields (in future) to this structure without affecting
compatibility. It's on TODO list to come up with better approach to
address this.

Mahesh Salgaonkar eb39c8803d fadump: Reserve the memory for firmware assisted dump.
Reserve the memory during early boot to preserve CPU state data, HPTE region
and RMA (real mode area) region data in case of kernel crash. At the time of
crash, powerpc firmware will store CPU state data, HPTE region data and move
RMA region data to the reserved memory area.

If the firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve the memory, then fallback
to existing kexec-based kdump.

Most of the code implementation to reserve memory has been
adapted from phyp assisted dump implementation written by Linas Vepstas
and Manish Ahuja

This patch also introduces a config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP for firmware
assisted dump feature on Powerpc (ppc64) architecture.

Kyle Moffett e55d7f737d powerpc/mpic: Remove duplicate MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag
There are two separate flags controlling whether or not the MPIC is
reset during initialization, which is completely unnecessary, and only
one of them can be specified in the device tree.

Also, most platforms in-tree right now do actually want to reset the
MPIC during initialization anyways, which means lots of duplicate code
passing the MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag.

Fix all of the callers which currently do not pass the MPIC_WANTS_RESET
flag to pass the MPIC_NO_RESET flag, then remove the MPIC_WANTS_RESET
flag and make the code reset the MPIC by default.

Kyle Moffett 5019609fce powerpc/mpic: Remove MPIC_BROKEN_FRR_NIRQS and duplicate irq_count
The mpic->irq_count variable is only used as a software error-checking
limit to determine whether or not an IRQ number is valid.  In board code
which does not manually specify an IRQ count to mpic_alloc(), i.e. 0, it
is automatically detected from the number of ISUs and the ISU size.

In practice, all hardware ends up with irq_count == num_sources, so all
of the runtime checks on mpic->irq_count should just check the value of
mpic->num_sources instead.

When platform hardware does not correctly report the number of IRQs,
which only happens on the MPC85xx/MPC86xx, the MPIC_BROKEN_FRR_NIRQS
flag is used to override the detected value of num_sources with the
manual irq_count parameter.  Since there's no need to manually specify
the number of IRQs except in this case, the extra flag can be eliminated
and the test changed to "irq_count != 0".

Eric Paris d7e7528bcd Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h
The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things
by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
success or failure.  This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall.  The fix is to fix the
layering foolishness.  We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
determine if the syscall was a success or failure.  We also define a generic
is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the
value is < -MAX_ERRNO.  This works for arches like x86 which do not use a
separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure.

We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines
instead of macros.  The reason is because the audit function must take a void*
for the regs.  (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct
pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs).  Since the audit
function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the
arch correct structure to dereference it.

The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we
change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure.
THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it
makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs.

In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
audit code as the return value.  But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro
regs_return_value() as regs[3].  I have no idea which one is correct, but this
patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3].

For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the
regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3].  regs->gprs[3] is
always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative
before calling the audit code when appropriate.

Myron Stowe 79c8be8384 PCI: PowerPC: convert pcibios_set_master() to a non-inlined function
This patch converts PowerPC's architecture-specific
'pcibios_set_master()' routine to a non-inlined function.  This will
allow follow on patches to create a generic 'pcibios_set_master()'
function using the '__weak' attribute which can be used by all
architectures as a default which, if necessary, can then be over-
ridden by architecture-specific code.

Converting 'pci_bios_set_master()' to a non-inlined function will
allow PowerPC's 'pcibios_set_master()' implementation to remain
architecture-specific after the generic version is introduced and
thus, not change current behavior.

No functional change.

This causes get_idle_time() to return numbers in the wrong units, making
the idle time fields in /proc/stat wrong.

Instead of converting the usec value returned by
get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us to units of jiffies, use the new function
usecs_to_cputime64 to convert it to the correct unit of cputime64_t.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the

Suzuki Poulose 368ff8f14d powerpc: Define virtual-physical translations for RELOCATABLE
We find the runtime address of _stext and relocate ourselves based

	virtual_base = ALIGN(KERNELBASE,KERNEL_TLB_PIN_SIZE) +
			MODULO(_stext.run,KERNEL_TLB_PIN_SIZE)

Page        |-----------|------------|
Boundary    |           |            |

On BookE, we need __va() & __pa() early in the boot process to access
the device tree.

Currently this has been defined as :

#define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) -
						PHYSICAL_START + KERNELBASE)
where:
 PHYSICAL_START is kernstart_addr - a variable updated at runtime.
 KERNELBASE	is the compile time Virtual base address of kernel.

This won't work for us, as kernstart_addr is dynamic and will yield different
results for __va()/__pa() for same mapping.

e.g.,

Let the kernel be loaded at 64MB and KERNELBASE be 0xc0000000 (same as
PAGE_OFFSET).

In this case, we would be mapping 0 to 0xc0000000, and kernstart_addr = 64M

Now __va(1MB) = (0x100000) - (0x4000000) + 0xc0000000
		= 0xbc100000 , which is wrong.

it should be : 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000

On platforms which support AMP, like PPC_47x (based on 44x), the kernel
could be loaded at highmem. Hence we cannot always depend on the compile
time constants for mapping.

Here are the possible solutions:

1) Update kernstart_addr(PHSYICAL_START) to match the Physical address of
compile time KERNELBASE value, instead of the actual Physical_Address(_stext).

The disadvantage is that we may break other users of PHYSICAL_START. They
could be replaced with __pa(_stext).

2) Redefine __va() & __pa() with relocation offset

#ifdef	CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32
#define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) - PHYSICAL_START + (KERNELBASE + RELOC_OFFSET)))
#define __pa(x) ((unsigned long)(x) + PHYSICAL_START - (KERNELBASE + RELOC_OFFSET))
#endif

where, RELOC_OFFSET could be

  a) A variable, say relocation_offset (like kernstart_addr), updated
     at boot time. This impacts performance, as we have to load an additional
     variable from memory.

		OR

  b) #define RELOC_OFFSET ((PHYSICAL_START & PPC_PIN_SIZE_OFFSET_MASK) - \
                      (KERNELBASE & PPC_PIN_SIZE_OFFSET_MASK))

   This introduces more calculations for doing the translation.

3) Redefine __va() & __pa() with a new variable

i.e,

#define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) + VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET))

where VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET :

#ifdef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32
#define VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET virt_phys_offset
#else
#define VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET (KERNELBASE - PHYSICAL_START)
#endif /* CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32 */

where virt_phy_offset is updated at runtime to :

	Effective KERNELBASE - kernstart_addr.

Taking our example, above:

virt_phys_offset = effective_kernelstart_vaddr - kernstart_addr
		 = 0xc0400000 - 0x400000
		 = 0xc0000000
	and

	__va(0x100000) = 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000
	 which is what we want.

I have implemented (3) in the following patch which has same cost of
operation as the existing one.

I have tested the patches on 440x platforms only. However this should
work fine for PPC_47x also, as we only depend on the runtime address
and the current TLB XLAT entry for the startup code, which is available
in r25. I don't have access to a 47x board yet. So, it would be great if
somebody could test this on 47x.

Suzuki Poulose 0f890c8d20 powerpc: Rename mapping based RELOCATABLE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART for BookE
The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based
on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This
approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size
is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used
currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method.

The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the
dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series.

This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for
platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with
smaller TLB size).

Changes since v3:

* Introduced a new config, NONSTATIC_KERNEL, to denote a kernel which is
  either a RELOCATABLE or DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(Suggested by: Josh Boyer)

Anton Blanchard a66086b819 powerpc: POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX
Implement a POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX.
For large aligned copies this new loop is over 10% faster, and for
large unaligned copies it is over 200% faster.

If we take a fault we fall back to the old version, this keeps
things relatively simple and easy to verify.

On POWER7 unaligned stores rarely slow down - they only flush when
a store crosses a 4KB page boundary. Furthermore this flush is
handled completely in hardware and should be 20-30 cycles.

Unaligned loads on the other hand flush much more often - whenever
crossing a 128 byte cache line, or a 32 byte sector if either sector
is an L1 miss.

Considering this information we really want to get the loads aligned
and not worry about the alignment of the stores. Microbenchmarks
confirm that this approach is much faster than the current unaligned
copy loop that uses shifts and rotates to ensure both loads and
stores are aligned.

We also want to try and do the stores in cacheline aligned, cacheline
sized chunks. If the store queue is unable to merge an entire
cacheline of stores then the L2 cache will have to do a
read/modify/write. Even worse, we will serialise this with the stores
in the next iteration of the copy loop since both iterations hit
the same cacheline.

Based on this, the new loop does the following things:

1 - 127 bytes
Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores. Pretty
boring and similar to how the current loop works.

128 - 4095 bytes
Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores,
1 cacheline at a time. We aren't doing the stores in cacheline
aligned chunks so we will potentially serialise once per cacheline.
Even so it is much better than the loop we have today.

4096 - bytes
If both source and destination have the same alignment get them both
16 byte aligned, then get the destination cacheline aligned. Do
cacheline sized loads and stores using VMX.

If source and destination do not have the same alignment, we get the
destination cacheline aligned, and use permute to do aligned loads.

In both cases the VMX loop should be optimal - we always do aligned
loads and stores and are always doing stores in cacheline aligned,
cacheline sized chunks.

To be able to use VMX we must be careful about interrupts and
sleeping. We don't use the VMX loop when in an interrupt (which should
be rare anyway) and we wrap the VMX loop in disable/enable_pagefault
and fall back to the existing copy_tofrom_user loop if we do need to
sleep.

The VMX breakpoint of 4096 bytes was chosen using this microbenchmark:

http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c

Since we are using VMX and there is a cost to saving and restoring
the user VMX state there are two broad cases we need to benchmark:

- Best case - userspace never uses VMX

- Worst case - userspace always uses VMX

In reality a userspace process will sit somewhere between these two
extremes. Since we need to test both aligned and unaligned copies we
end up with 4 combinations. The point at which the VMX loop begins to
win is:

0% VMX
aligned		2048 bytes
unaligned	2048 bytes

100% VMX
aligned		16384 bytes
unaligned	8192 bytes

Considering this is a microbenchmark, the data is hot in cache and
the VMX loop has better store queue merging properties we set the
breakpoint to 4096 bytes, a little below the unaligned breakpoints.

Some future optimisations we can look at:

- Looking at the perf data, a significant part of the cost when a
  task is always using VMX is the extra exception we take to restore
  the VMX state. As such we should do something similar to the x86
  optimisation that restores FPU state for heavy users. ie:

        /*
         * If the task has used fpu the last 5 timeslices, just do a full
         * restore of the math state immediately to avoid the trap; the
         * chances of needing FPU soon are obviously high now
         */
        preload_fpu = tsk_used_math(next_p) && next_p->fpu_counter > 5;

  and

        /*
         * fpu_counter contains the number of consecutive context switches
         * that the FPU is used. If this is over a threshold, the lazy fpu
         * saving becomes unlazy to save the trap. This is an unsigned char
         * so that after 256 times the counter wraps and the behavior turns
         * lazy again; this to deal with bursty apps that only use FPU for
         * a short time
         */

- We could create a paca bit to mirror the VMX enabled MSR bit and check
  that first, avoiding multiple calls to calling enable_kernel_altivec.
  That should help with iovec based system calls like readv.

- We could have two VMX breakpoints, one for when we know the user VMX
  state is loaded into the registers and one when it isn't. This could
  be a second bit in the paca so we can calculate the break points quickly.

- One suggestion from Ben was to save and restore the VSX registers
  we use inline instead of using enable_kernel_altivec.
