4c75f84f2c powerpc: Add compiler memory barrier to mtmsr macro
On 32-bit non-Book E, local_irq_restore() turns into just mtmsr(),
which doesn't currently have a compiler memory barrier.  This means
that accesses to memory inside a local_irq_save/restore section,
or a spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore section on UP, can
be reordered by the compiler to occur outside that section.

To fix this, this adds a compiler memory barrier to mtmsr for both
32-bit and 64-bit.  Having a compiler memory barrier in mtmsr makes
sense because it will almost always be changing something about the
context in which memory accesses are done, so in general we don't want
memory accesses getting moved from one side of an mtmsr to the other.

With the barrier in mtmsr(), some of the explicit barriers in
hw_irq.h are now redundant, so this removes them.

0bbd0d4be8 perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow events
This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on
powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events,
including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified.

Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier
processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6
field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and
defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6)
and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor
uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier
positions.  It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and
old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR
values come from the same instruction.

For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not
doing instruction sampling.  In that case there is no guarantee
that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will
correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the
PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord.

If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter
is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply
the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it
corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the
PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord.  Otherwise we supply 0.

[ Impact: support more PMU hardware features on PowerPC ]

39fd09320b powerpc: Move SPEFSCR defines to common header
SPEFSCR is a user space register and doesn't conflict with anything.
Moving the defines of the various bit fields makes some emulation
code have fewer ifdefs

c9c38320e8 powerpc: Add missing DABR flags
The powerpc 64 bit architecture defines three flags for the
DABR (Data Address Breakpoint Register).  Add definitions
for the currently missing DABR_DATA_WRITE and DABR_DATA_READ
flags to the powerpc reg.h file.

322b439455 powerpc: Prepare xmon_save_regs for use with kdump
Today the arch/powerpc/xmon/setjmp.S file contains only the
xmon_save_regs function.  We want to use it for kdump purposes, so
let's move the file into arch/powerpc/kernel/ and give the function a
more generic name (ppc_save_regs).

b8b572e101 powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
