6e6b44e822 [POWERPC] Timer interrupt: use a struct for two per_cpu varables
timer_interrupt() was calculating per_cpu_offset several times, having to
start from the toc because of potential aliasing issues.

Placing both decrementer per_cpu varables in a struct and calculating
the address once with __get_cpu_var results in better code on both 32
and 64 bit.

8b5621f183 [POWERPC] Use __get_cpu_var in time.c
Use __get_cpu_var(x) instead of per_cpu(x, smp_processor_id()), as it
is optimized on ppc64 to access the current cpu's per-cpu offset directly;
it's local_paca.offset instead of TOC->paca[local_paca->processor_id].offset.

This is the trivial portion, two functions with one use each.

7ee17466b6 [POWERPC] Early debug forces console log level to max
This makes the early debug option force the console loglevel
to the max.  The early debug option is meant to catch messages very
early in the kernel boot process, in many cases, before the kernel
has a chance to parse the "debug" command line argument.  Thus it
makes sense when CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG is set, to force the console
log level to the max at boot time.

6d39635959 [POWERPC] Change 32-bit PCI message about resource allocation
The 32 bits PCI code will display a rather scary error message

   PCI: Cannot allocate resource region N of device XXX

at boot when the existing setup of a device as left by the
firmware doesn't match the kernel needs and the device needs
to be moved.  This is often not an error at all, as the kernel
will generally easily reallocate the device elsewhere.

This changes the message to something less scary and lowers
its level from error to warning.

05d3957e11 [POWERPC] Fix powerpc 32-bit resource fixup for 64-bit resources
The 32-bit powerpc resource fixup code uses unsigned longs to do the
offsetting of resources which overflows on platforms such as 4xx where
resources can be 64 bits.

This fixes it by using resource_size_t instead.

However, the IO stuff does rely on some 32 bits arithmetic, so we hack
by cropping the result of the fixups for IO resources with a 32 bits
mask.

This isn't the prettiest but should work for now until we change the
32 bits PCI code to do IO mappings like 64 bits does, within a reserved
are of the kernel address space.

13dccb9e65 [POWERPC] Merge pci_process_bridge_OF_ranges()
This merges the 32-bit and 64-bit implementations of
pci_process_bridge_OF_ranges().  The new function is cleaner than both
the old ones, and supports 64 bits ranges on ppc32 which is necessary

It also adds some better (hopefully) output to the kernel log which
should help diagnose problems and makes better use of existing OF
parsing helpers (avoiding a few bugs of both implementations along
the way).

There are still a few unfortunate ifdef's but there is no way around
these for now at least not until some other bits of the PCI code are

should use the ibm,slb-size property to obtain the number of SLB

81a3843f97 [POWERPC] Fix hardware IRQ time accounting problem.
The commit fa13a5a1f2 (sched: restore
deterministic CPU accounting on powerpc), unconditionally calls
update_process_tick() in system context.  In the deterministic
accounting case this is the correct thing to do.  However, in the
non-deterministic accounting case we need to not do this, since doing
this results in the time accounted as hardware irq time being
artificially elevated.

Also this collapses 2 consecutive '#ifdef CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING'
checks in time.h into one for neatness.

a2b51812a4 [POWERPC] Fix RTAS os-term usage on kernel panic
The rtas_os_term() routine was being called at the wrong time.
The actual rtas call "os-term" will not ever return, and so
calling it from the panic notifier is too early.  Instead,
call it from the machine_reset() call.

This splits the rtas_os_term() routine into two: one part to capture
the kernel panic message, invoked during the panic notifier, and
another part that is invoked during machine_reset().

Prior to this patch, the os-term call was never being made,
because panic_timeout was always non-zero.  Calling os-term
helps keep the hypervisor happy!  We have to keep the hypervisor
happy to avoid service, dump and error reporting problems.

8f5c7579ca [POWERPC] Fix multiple bugs in rtas_ibm_suspend_me code
There are several issues with the rtas_ibm_suspend_me code, which
enables platform-assisted suspension of an LPAR as covered in PAPR
2.2.

1.) rtas_ibm_suspend_me uses on_each_cpu() to invoke
rtas_percpu_suspend_me on all cpus via IPI:

if (on_each_cpu(rtas_percpu_suspend_me, &data, 1, 0))
...

'data' is on the calling task's stack, but rtas_ibm_suspend_me takes
no measures to ensure that all instances of rtas_percpu_suspend_me are
finished accessing 'data' before returning.  This can result in the
IPI'd cpus accessing random stack data and getting stuck in H_JOIN.

This is addressed by using an atomic count of workers and a completion
on the stack.

2.) rtas_percpu_suspend_me is needlessly calling H_JOIN in a loop.
The only event that can cause a cpu to return from H_JOIN is an H_PROD
from another cpu or a NMI/system reset.  Each cpu need call H_JOIN
only once per suspend operation.

Remove the loop and the now unnecessary 'waiting' state variable.

3.) H_JOIN must be called with MSR[EE] off, but lazy interrupt
disabling may cause the caller of rtas_ibm_suspend_me to call H_JOIN
with it on; the local_irq_disable() in on_each_cpu() is not
sufficient.

Fix this by explicitly saving the MSR and clearing the EE bit before
calling H_JOIN.

4.) H_PROD is being called with the Linux logical cpu number as the
parameter, not the platform interrupt server value.  (It's also being
called for all possible cpus, which is harmless, but unnecessary.)

This is fixed by calling H_PROD for each online cpu using
get_hard_smp_processor_id(cpu) for the argument.

b64f87c16f [POWERPC] Avoid unpaired stwcx. on some processors
The context switch code in the kernel issues a dummy stwcx. to clear the
reservation, as recommended by the architecture.  However, some processors
can have issues if this stwcx to address A occurs while the reservation
is already held to a different address B.  To avoid this problem, the dummy
stwcx. needs to be paired with a dummy lwarx to the same address.

This adds the dummy lwarx, and creates a cpu feature bit to indicate
which cpus are affected.  Tested on mpc8641_hpcn_defconfig in

fa13a5a1f2 sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpc
Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the
deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been
broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in
timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times().

This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times
that updates utime and stime into a separate function called
account_process_tick.  If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined,
there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that
simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before.  If
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to
implement account_process_tick.

This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390
timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a
suitable account_process_tick().

account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument.
Tested both with and without CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.

43875cc0a5 [POWERPC] Fix off-by-one error in setting decrementer on Book E/4xx (v2)
The decrementer in Book E and 4xx processors interrupts on the
transition from 1 to 0, rather than on the 0 to -1 transition as on
64-bit server and 32-bit "classic" (6xx/7xx/7xxx) processors.  At the
moment we subtract 1 from the count of how many decrementer ticks are
required before the next interrupt before putting it into the
decrementer, which is correct for server/classic processors, but could
possibly cause the interrupt to happen too early on Book E and 4xx if
the timebase/decrementer frequency is low.

This fixes the problem by making set_dec subtract 1 from the count for
server and classic processors, instead of having the callers subtract
1.  Since set_dec already had a bunch of ifdefs to handle different
processor types, there is no net increase in ugliness. :)

Note that calling set_dec(0) may not generate an interrupt on some
processors.  To make sure that decrementer_set_next_event always calls
set_dec with an interval of at least 1 tick, we set min_delta_ns of
the decrementer_clockevent to correspond to 2 ticks (2 rather than 1
to compensate for truncations in the conversions between ticks and
ns).

This also removes a redundant call to set the decrementer to
0x7fffffff - it was already set to that earlier in timer_interrupt.

20474abda6 [POWERPC] Fix cache line vs. block size confusion
We had an historical confusion in the kernel between cache line
and cache block size. The former is an implementation detail of
the L1 cache which can be useful for performance optimisations,
the later is the actual size on which the cache control
instructions operate, which can be different.

For some reason, we had a weird hack reading the right property
on powermac and the wrong one on any other 64 bits (32 bits is
unaffected as it only uses the cputable for cache block size
infos at this stage).

This fixes the booting-without-of.txt documentation to mention
the right properties, and fixes the 64 bits initialization code
to look for the block size first, with a fallback to the line
size if the property is missing.

b98ac05d5e [POWERPC] 4xx: Deal with 44x virtually tagged icache
The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually
tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with
it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't
report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches
in their distro...

This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by
setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously
marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon
return to user space when that happens.

This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained
flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very
strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires
a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which
isn't something I want to deal with.
