Commit de79f7b9f6 ("powerpc: Put FP/VSX and VR state into structures")
modified load_up_fpu() and load_up_altivec() in such a way that they
now use r7 and r8. Unfortunately, the callers of these functions on
32-bit machines then return to userspace via fast_exception_return,
which doesn't restore all of the volatile GPRs, but only r1, r3 -- r6
and r9 -- r12. This was causing userspace segfaults and other
userspace misbehaviour on 32-bit machines.
This fixes the problem by changing the register usage of load_up_fpu()
and load_up_altivec() to avoid using r7 and r8 and instead use r6 and
r10. This also adds comments to those functions saying which registers
may be used.

This provides a facility which is intended for use by KVM, where the
contents of the FP/VSX and VMX (Altivec) registers can be saved away
to somewhere other than the thread_struct when kernel code wants to
use floating point or VMX instructions. This is done by providing a
pointer in the thread_struct to indicate where the state should be
saved to. The giveup_fpu() and giveup_altivec() functions test these
pointers and save state to the indicated location if they are non-NULL.
Note that the MSR_FP/VEC bits in task->thread.regs->msr are still used
to indicate whether the CPU register state is live, even when an
alternate save location is being used.
This also provides load_fp_state() and load_vr_state() functions, which
load up FP/VSX and VMX state from memory into the CPU registers, and
corresponding store_fp_state() and store_vr_state() functions, which
store FP/VSX and VMX state into memory from the CPU registers.

This creates new 'thread_fp_state' and 'thread_vr_state' structures
to store FP/VSX state (including FPSCR) and Altivec/VSX state
(including VSCR), and uses them in the thread_struct. In the
thread_fp_state, the FPRs and VSRs are represented as u64 rather
than double, since we rarely perform floating-point computations
on the values, and this will enable the structures to be used
in KVM code as well. Similarly FPSCR is now a u64 rather than
a structure of two 32-bit values.
This takes the offsets out of the macros such as SAVE_32FPRS,
REST_32FPRS, etc. This enables the same macros to be used for normal
and transactional state, enabling us to delete the transactional
versions of the macros. This also removes the unused do_load_up_fpu
and do_load_up_altivec, which were in fact buggy since they didn't
create large enough stack frames to account for the fact that
load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec are not designed to be called from C
and assume that their caller's stack frame is an interrupt frame.

This adds functions to restore the state of the FP/VSX registers from
what's stored in the thread_struct. Two version for FP/VSX are required
since one restores them from transactional/checkpoint side of the
thread_struct and the other from the speculated side.
Similar functions are added for VMX registers.

Anything that uses a constructed instruction (ie. from ppc-opcode.h),
need to use the new R0 macro, as %r0 is not going to work.
Also convert usages of macros where we are just determining an offset
(usually for a load/store), like:
std r14,STK_REG(r14)(r1)
Can't use STK_REG(r14) as %r14 doesn't work in the STK_REG macro since
it's just calculating an offset.

The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in
low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu
global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer.
We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers
as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some
of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc..
and the current choice isn't always the best.
This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the
usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement
and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to
what those are used for on each processor family.
The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM
or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all
the SPRGs.

When we call giveup_fpu, we need to need to turn off VSX for the
current process. If we don't, on return to userspace it may execute a
VSX instruction before the next FP instruction, and not have its
register state refreshed correctly from the thread_struct. Ditto for
altivec.
This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs results in
fix_alignment calling giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs (in order to
do a single <-> double conversion), and then returning to userspace
with FP off but VSX on. Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before
another FP instruction, it will proceed without another exception and
hence have the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31.
lfs unaligned <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on
VSX instruction <- no exception since VSX on, hence we get the
wrong VSX register values for VSX registers 0-31,
which overlap the FPRs.

This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available. This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.
Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.
The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers. Backward
compatibility is maintained.
The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.

This patch consolidates the variety of macros used for loading 32 or
64-bit constants in assembler (LOADADDR, LOADBASE, SET_REG_TO_*). The
idea is to make the set of macros consistent across 32 and 64 bit and
to make it more obvious which is the appropriate one to use in a given
situation. The new macros and their semantics are described in the
comments in ppc_asm.h.
In the process, we change several places that were unnecessarily using
immediate loads on ppc64 to use the GOT/TOC. Likewise we cleanup a
couple of places where we were clumsily subtracting PAGE_OFFSET with
asm instructions to use assemble-time arithmetic or the toreal() macro
instead.

This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for
compatibility across different CPUs or configs. A new header,
asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros. It
uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use
in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files. Headers (bitops.h,
uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility
macros are changed to use asm-compat.h.
ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces
that. As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution
here than in asm-compat.h.
While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in
futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't.

On 32-bit platforms, these convert from kernel virtual addresses
to real (physical addresses), like tophys/tovirt but they use
the same register for the source and destination. On 64-bit
platforms, they do nothing because the hardware ignores the top
two bits of the address in real mode.
These new macros are used in fpu.S now.

The recent merge of fpu.S broken the handling of fpscr for
ARCH=powerpc and CONFIG_PPC64=y. FP registers could be corrupted,
leading to strange random application crashes.
The confusion arises, because the thread_struct has (and requires) a
64-bit area to save the fpscr, because we use load/store double
instructions to get it in to/out of the FPU. However, only the low
32-bits are actually used, so we want to treat it as a 32-bit quantity
when manipulating its bits to avoid extra load/stores on 32-bit. This
patch replaces the current definition with a structure of two 32-bit
quantities (pad and val), to clarify things as much as is possible.
The 'val' field is used when manipulating bits, the structure itself
is used when obtaining the address for loading/unloading the value
from the FPU.
While we're at it, consolidate the 4 (!) almost identical versions of
cvt_fd() and cvt_df() (arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S,
arch/ppc64/kernel/misc.S, arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S,
arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.S) into a single version in fpu.S. The
new version takes a pointer to thread_struct and applies the correct
offset itself, rather than a pointer to the fpscr field itself, again
to avoid confusion as to which is the correct field to use.
Finally, this patch makes ARCH=ppc64 also use the consolidated fpu.S
code, which it previously did not.
Built for G5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc), 32-bit powermac (ARCH=ppc
and ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc, CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION=y).

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
