Paul Mackerras a4dc7ff089 [POWERPC] Define of_read_ulong helper
There are various places where we want to extract an unsigned long
value from a device-tree property that can be 1 or 2 cells in length.
This replaces some open-coded calculations, and one place where we
assumed without checking that properties were the length we wanted,
with a little of_read_ulong() helper.

Paul Mackerras f007cacffc [POWERPC] Fix MMIO ops to provide expected barrier behaviour
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.

Paul Mackerras eb36c2884a [PATCH] ppc32: fix last_jiffy time comparison
This fixes a hang on ppc32.

The problem was that I was comparing a 32-bit quantity with a 64-bit
quantity, and consequently time wasn't advancing.  This makes us use a
64-bit quantity on all platforms, which ends up simplifying the code
since we can now get rid of the tb_last_stamp variable (which actually
fixes another bug that Ben H and I noticed while going carefully through
the code).

This works fine on my G4 tibook.  Let me know how it goes on your
machines.

Paul Mackerras 467c37801c [POWERPC] Fix irq enable/disable in smp_generic_take_timebase
Eran Ben-Avi <eranpublic@yahoo.com> pointed out that the arch/ppc version
of smp_generic_take_timebase disables interrupts on entry but exits without
restoring them.  However, both it and the arch/powerpc version have another
problem, which is that they use local_irq_disable/enable rather than
local_irq_save/restore, and they are called with interrupts disabled.

This fixes both problems; it changes a return to a break in the arch/ppc
version, and changes both versions to use local_irq_save/restore.

Paul Mackerras e0d872d536 [POWERPC] Fix problem with time not advancing on 32-bit platforms
This fixes a problem introduced in 5db9fa9593.
The last_jiffy per-cpu variable is only 32 bits on 32-bit machines, but it
was being compared with a 64-bit quantity (tb_next_jiffy), which resulted in
time not advancing.

This fixes it by changing last_jiffy to be 64 bits on all platforms.  With
this, we no longer need tb_last_stamp as a 32-bit version of tb_last_jiffy,
so this gets rid of tb_last_stamp and we just use tb_last_jiffy instead.
This also fixes a bug when the boot cpu is not online, because using
tb_last_stamp could have caused the wrong timebase origin value to be used
when calculating the time of day.

Nathan Lynch 5db9fa9593 [POWERPC] Fix gettimeofday inaccuracies
There are two problems in the powerpc gettimeofday code which can
cause incorrect results to be returned.

The first is that there is a race between do_gettimeofday and the
timer interrupt:

1. do_gettimeofday does get_tb()

2. decrementer exception on boot cpu which runs timer_recalc_offset,
   which also samples the timebase and updates the do_gtod structure
   with a greater timebase value.

3. do_gettimeofday calls __do_gettimeofday, which leads to the
   negative result from tb_val - temp_varp->tb_orig_stamp.

The second is caused by taking the boot cpu offline, which can cause
the value of tb_last_jiffy to be increased past the currently
available timebase, causing the same underflow as above.

Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli 83db3dde26 [POWERPC] kprobes: Fix possible system crash during out-of-line single-stepping
- On archs that have no-exec support, we vmalloc() a executable scratch
area of PAGE_SIZE and divide it up into an array of slots of maximum
instruction size for that arch
- On a kprobe registration, the original instruction is copied to the
first available free slot, so if multiple kprobes are registered, chances
are, they get contiguous slots
- On POWER4, due to not having coherent icaches, we could hit a situation
where a probe that is registered on one processor, is hit immediately on
another. This second processor could have fetched the stream of text from
the out-of-line single-stepping area *before* the probe registration
completed, possibly due to an earlier (and a different) kprobe hit and
hence would see stale data at the slot.

Executing such an arbitrary instruction lead to a problem as reported
in LTC bugzilla 23555.

The correct solution is to call flush_icache_range() as soon as the
instruction is copied for out-of-line single-stepping, so the correct
instruction is seen on all processors.

Thanks to Will Schmidt who tracked this down.

David Wilder eac8392f95 [POWERPC] Make secondary CPUs call into kdump on reset exception
In the case of a system hang, the user will invoke soft-reset to
initiate the kdump boot.  If xmon is enabled, the CPU(s) enter into the
xmon debugger.   Unfortunately, the secondary CPU(s) will return to the
hung state when they exit from the debugger (returned from die() ->
system_reset_exception()).  This causes a problem in kdump since the
hung CPU(s) will not respond to the IPI sent from kdump.  This patch
fixes the issue by calling crash_kexec_secondary() directly from
system_reset_exception() without returning to the previous state.  These
secondary CPUs wait 5ms until the kdump boot is started by the primary
CPU.   In the case we exited from the debugger to "recover" (command 'x'
in xmon) the primary and the secondary CPUs will all return from die()
-> system_reset_exception() ->crash_kexec_secondary() wait 5ms, then
return to the previous state.  A kdump boot is not started in this case.

Michael Neuling 2f6093c847 [POWERPC] Implement SLB shadow buffer
This adds a shadow buffer for the SLBs and regsiters it with PHYP.
Only the bolted SLB entries (top 3) are shadowed.

The SLB shadow buffer tells the hypervisor what the kernel needs to
have in the SLB for the kernel to be able to function.  The hypervisor
can use this information to speed up partition context switches.
