the only non-obvious part is that current_pt_regs() is really needed
here - task_pt_regs() is NULL for kernel threads; it's OK for ptrace
uses (the thing task_pt_regs() is intended for), but not for us.

This removes the various bits of assembly in the kernel entry,
exception handling and SLB management code that were specific
to running under the legacy iSeries hypervisor which is no

Drop this argument now that we always want to rewind only to the
state of the first caller.
It means frame pointers are not necessary anymore to reliably get
the source of an event. But this also means we need this helper
to be a macro now, as an inline function is not an option since
we need to know when to provide a default implentation.

Now that software events use perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() too, we
need the powerpc version to be always built.

This implements a powerpc version of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
to get correct call-graphs.
It's implemented in assembly because that way we can be sure there isn't
a stack frame for perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs. If it was in C, gcc might
or might not create a stack frame for it, which would affect the number
of levels we have to skip.
With this, we see results from perf record -e lock:lock_acquire like
this:

Using LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE to get the address of kernel symbols
generates 5 instructions where LOAD_REG_ADDR can do it in one,
and will generate R_PPC64_ADDR16_* relocations in the output when
we get to making the kernel as a position-independent executable,
which we'd rather not have to handle. This changes various bits
of assembly code to use LOAD_REG_ADDR when we need to get the
address of a symbol, or to use suitable position-independent code
for cases where we can't access the TOC for various reasons, or
if we're not running at the address we were linked at.
It also cleans up a few minor things; there's no reason to save and
restore SRR0/1 around RTAS calls, __mmu_off can get the return
address from LR more conveniently than the caller can supply it in
R4 (and we already assume elsewhere that EA == RA if the MMU is on
in early boot), and enable_64b_mode was using 5 instructions where
2 would do.

This produces essentially the same code and will make the iSeries i/o
consolidation easier.
The count parameter is changed to long since that will produce the same

This changes the writeX family of functions to have a sync instruction
before the MMIO store rather than after, because the generally expected
behaviour is that the device receiving the MMIO store can be guaranteed
to see the effects of any preceding writes to normal memory.
To preserve ordering between writeX and readX, and to preserve ordering
between preceding stores and the readX, the readX family of functions
have had an sync added before the load.
Although writeX followed by spin_unlock is not officially guaranteed
to keep the writeX inside the spin-locked region unless an mmiowb()
is used, there are currently drivers that depend on the previous
behaviour on powerpc, which was that the mmiowb wasn't actually required.
Therefore we have a per-cpu flag that is set by writeX, cleared by
__raw_spin_lock and mmiowb, and tested by __raw_spin_unlock. If it is
set, __raw_spin_unlock does a sync and clears it.
This changes both 32-bit and 64-bit readX/writeX. 32-bit already has a
sync in __raw_spin_unlock (since lwsync doesn't exist on 32-bit), and thus
doesn't need the per-cpu flag.
Tested on G5 (PPC970) and POWER5.
