Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This is the powerpc changes for the 3.11 merge window. In addition to
the usual bug fixes and small updates, the main highlights are:
- Support for transparent huge pages by Aneesh Kumar for 64-bit
server processors. This allows the use of 16M pages as transparent
huge pages on kernels compiled with a 64K base page size.
- Base VFIO support for KVM on power by Alexey Kardashevskiy
- Wiring up of our nvram to the pstore infrastructure, including
putting compressed oopses in there by Aruna Balakrishnaiah
- Move, rework and improve our "EEH" (basically PCI error handling
and recovery) infrastructure. It is no longer specific to pseries
but is now usable by the new "powernv" platform as well (no
hypervisor) by Gavin Shan.
- I fixed some bugs in our math-emu instruction decoding and made it
usable to emulate some optional FP instructions on processors with
hard FP that lack them (such as fsqrt on Freescale embedded
processors).
- Support for Power8 "Event Based Branch" facility by Michael
Ellerman. This facility allows what is basically "userspace
interrupts" for performance monitor events.
- A bunch of Transactional Memory vs. Signals bug fixes and HW
breakpoint/watchpoint fixes by Michael Neuling.
And more ... I appologize in advance if I've failed to highlight
something that somebody deemed worth it."

[Issue]
Currently, a variable name, which identifies each entry, consists of type, id and ctime.
But if multiple events happens in a short time, a second/third event may fail to log because
efi_pstore can't distinguish each event with current variable name.
[Solution]
A reasonable way to identify all events precisely is introducing a sequence counter to
the variable name.
The sequence counter has already supported in a pstore layer with "oopscount".
So, this patch adds it to a variable name.
Also, it is passed to read/erase callbacks of platform drivers in accordance with
the modification of the variable name.
<before applying this patch>
a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678
a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-12345678
type:0
id:1
ctime:12345678
If multiple events happen in a short time, efi_pstore can't distinguish them because
variable names are same among them.
<after applying this patch>
it can be distinguishable by adding a sequence counter as follows.
a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-1-12345678
a variable name of Second event: dump-type0-1-2-12345678
type:0
id:1
sequence counter: 1(first event), 2(second event)
ctime:12345678
In case of a write callback executed in pstore_console_write(), "0" is added to
an argument of the write callback because it just logs all kernel messages and
doesn't need to care about multiple events.

[Issue]
Currently, a variable name, which is used to identify each log entry, consists of type,
id and ctime. But an erase callback does not use ctime.
If efi_pstore supported just one log, type and id were enough.
However, in case of supporting multiple logs, it doesn't work because
it can't distinguish each entry without ctime at erasing time.
<Example>
As you can see below, efi_pstore can't differentiate first event from second one without ctime.
a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678
a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-23456789
type:0
id:1
ctime:12345678, 23456789
[Solution]
This patch adds ctime to an argument of an erase callback.
It works across reboots because ctime of pstore means the date that the record was originally stored.
To do this, efi_pstore saves the ctime to variable name at writing time and passes it to pstore
at reading time.

write_buf() should be marked as notrace, otherwise it is prone to
recursion.
Though, yet the issue is never triggered in real life, because we run

We can dereference 'cxt->cprz' if console and dump logging are disabled
(which is unlikely, but still possible to do). This patch fixes the issue
by changing the code so that we don't dereference przs at all, we can
just calculate bufsize from console_size and record_size values.
Plus, while at it, the patch improves the buffer size calculation.
After Kay's printk rework, we know the optimal buffer size for console
logging -- it is LOG_LINE_MAX (defined privately in printk.c). Previously,
if only console logging was enabled, we would allocate unnecessary large
buffer in pstore, while we only need LOG_LINE_MAX. (Pstore console logging
is still capable of handling buffers > LOG_LINE_MAX, it will just do
multiple calls to psinfo->write).
Note that I don't export the constant, since we will do even a better
thing soon: we will switch console logging to a new write_buf API, which
will eliminate the need for the additional buffer; and so we won't need
the constant.

Decoding the binary trace w/ a different kernel might be troublesome
since we convert addresses to symbols. For kernels with minimal changes,
the mappings would probably match, but it's not guaranteed at all.
(But still we could convert the addresses by hand, since we do print
raw addresses.)
If we use modules, the symbols could be loaded at different addresses
from the previously booted kernel, and so this would also fail, but
there's nothing we can do about it.
Also, the binary data format that pstore/ram is using in its ringbuffer
may change between the kernels, so here we too must ensure that we're
running the same kernel.
So, there are two questions really:
1. How to compute the unique kernel tag;
2. Where to store it.
In this patch we're using LINUX_VERSION_CODE, just as hibernation
(suspend-to-disk) does. This way we are protecting from the kernel
version mismatch, making sure that we're running the same kernel
version and patch level. We could use CRC of a symbol table (as
suggested by Tony Luck), but for now let's not be that strict.
And as for storing, we are using a small trick here. Instead of
allocating a dedicated buffer for the tag (i.e. another prz), or
hacking ram_core routines to "reserve" some control data in the
buffer, we are just encoding the tag into the buffer signature
(and XOR'ing it with the actual signature value, so that buffers
not needing a tag can just pass zero, which will result into the
plain old PRZ signature).

Registering the platform driver before module_init allows us to log oopses
that happen during device probing.
This requires changing module_init to postcore_initcall, and switching
from platform_driver_probe to platform_driver_register because the
platform device is not registered when the platform driver is registered;
and because we use driver_register, now can't use create_bundle() (since
it will try to register the same driver once again), so we have to switch
to platform_device_register_data().
Also, some __init -> __devinit changes were needed.
Overall, the registration logic is now much clearer, since we have only
one driver registration point, and just an optional dummy device, which
is created from the module parameters.

Since ramoops was converted to pstore, it has nothing to do with character

1. Kconfig and Makefiles fixups, of course.
2. In pstore/ram.c we have to play a bit with MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, this
