powerpc/kvm: Fix "PR" KVM implementation of H_CEDE
Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
H_CEDE should enable the vcpu's MSR:EE bit. It does on "HV" KVM (it's
burried in the assembly code though) and as far as I can tell, qemu
does it as well.

There was a typo, checking for CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAG instead of
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS causing some useful debug code to not be
built
This in turns causes a build error on BookE 64-bit due to incorrect
semicolons at the end of a couple of macros, so let's fix that too

Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code
vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream
are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which
this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead).
We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that
has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set
all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before
we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with
MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause
things to go very wrong later on.
This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the
pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got
things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7
"bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T
and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable
code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them
when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers
about how the low power state actually works on them.

We have a bug report where the kernel hits a warning in the cpumask
code:
WARNING: at include/linux/cpumask.h:107
Which is:
WARN_ON_ONCE(cpu >= nr_cpumask_bits);
The backtrace is:
cpu_cmd
cmds
xmon_core
xmon
die
xmon is iterating through 0 to NR_CPUS. I'm not sure why we are still
open coding this but iterating above nr_cpu_ids is definitely a bug.
This patch iterates through all possible cpus, in case we issue a
system reset and CPUs in an offline state call in.
Perhaps the old code was trying to handle CPUs that were in the
partition but were never started (eg kexec into a kernel with an
nr_cpus= boot option). They are going to die way before we get into
xmon since we haven't set any kernel state up for them.

Commit f948501b36 ("Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable
interrupts") caused check_and_cede_processor to stop working.
->irq_happened will never be zero right after a hard_irq_disable
so the compiler removes the call to cede_processor completely.
The bug was introduced back in the lazy interrupt handling rework
of 3.4 but was hidden until recently because hard_irq_disable did
nothing.
This issue will eventually appear in 3.4 stable since the
hard_irq_disable fix is marked stable, so mark this one for stable
too.

As I was adding code that affects all archs, I started testing function
tracer against PPC64 and found that it currently locks up with 3.4
kernel. I figured it was due to tracing a function that shouldn't be, so
I went through the following process to bisect to find the culprit:
cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions > t
num=`wc -l t`
sed -ne "1,${num}p" t > t1
let num=num+1
sed -ne "${num},$p" t > t2
cat t1 > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
echo function /debug/tracing/current_tracer
<failed? bisect t1, if not bisect t2>
It finally came down to this function: restore_interrupts()
I'm not sure why this locks up the system. It just seems to prevent
scheduling from occurring. Interrupts seem to still work, as I can ping
the box. But all user processes freeze.
When restore_interrupts() is not traced, function tracing works fine.

In entry_64.S version of ret_from_except_lite, you'll notice that
in the !preempt case, after we've checked MSR_PR we test for any
TIF flag in _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide whether to go to do_work
or not. However, in the preempt case, we do a convoluted trick to
test SIGPENDING only if PR was set and always test NEED_RESCHED ...
but we forget to test any other bit of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK !!! So
that means that with preempt, we completely fail to test for things
like single step, syscall tracing, etc...
This should be fixed as the following path:
- Test PR. If not set, go to resume_kernel, else continue.
- If go resume_kernel, to do that original do_work.
- If else, then always test for _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide to do
that original user_work, else restore directly.

At the moment we call kvmppc_pin_guest_page() in kvmppc_update_vpa()
with two spinlocks held: the vcore lock and the vcpu->vpa_update_lock.
This is not good, since kvmppc_pin_guest_page() calls down_read() and
get_user_pages_fast(), both of which can sleep. This bug was introduced
in 2e25aa5f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make virtual processor area
registration more robust").
This arranges to drop those spinlocks before calling
kvmppc_pin_guest_page() and re-take them afterwards. Dropping the
vcore lock in kvmppc_run_core() means we have to set the vcore_state
field to VCORE_RUNNING before we drop the lock, so that other vcpus
won't try to run this vcore.

This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
a kernel module.
According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
(in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
to generate trampoline code.
This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
.text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
using r11 can cause an oops.
The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is
safe from an EABI perspective.
I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

This reverts 68568add2c ("powerpc/time: Remove unnecessary sanity check
of decrementer expiration"). We do need to check whether we have reached
the expiration time of the next event, because we sometimes get an early
decrementer interrupt, most notably when we set the decrementer to 1 in
arch_irq_work_raise(). The effect of not having the sanity check is that
if timer_interrupt() gets called early, we leave the decrementer set to
its maximum value, which means we then don't get any more decrementer
interrupts for about 4 seconds (or longer, depending on timebase
frequency). I saw these pauses as a consequence of getting a stray
hypervisor decrementer interrupt left over from exiting a KVM guest.
This isn't quite a straight revert because of changes to the surrounding
code, but it restores the same algorithm as was previously used.

Current CPU hotplug code has some task->mm handling issues:
1. Working with task->mm w/o getting mm or grabing the task lock is
dangerous as ->mm might disappear (exit_mm() assigns NULL under
task_lock(), so tasklist lock is not enough).
We can't use get_task_mm()/mmput() pair as mmput() might sleep,
so we must take the task lock while handle its mm.
2. Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main
thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads
may still have a valid mm.
To fix this we would need to use find_lock_task_mm(), which would
walk up all threads and returns an appropriate task (with task
lock held).
clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() has all the issues fixed, so let's use it.

Lots of gpio changes, both to core code and drivers. Changes do touch
architecture code to remove the need for separate arm/gpio.h includes
in most architectures. Some new drivers are added, and a number of
gpio drivers are converted to use irq_domains for gpio inputs used as
interrupts. Device tree support has been amended to allow multiple
gpio_chips to use the same device tree node. Remaining changes are
primarily bug fixes.

This is the first big chunk for 3.5 merges of sound stuff.
There are a few big changes in different areas. First off, the
streaming logic of USB-audio endpoints has been largely rewritten
for the better support of "implicit feedback". If anything about USB
got broken, this change has to be checked.
For HD-audio, the resume procedure was changed; instead of delaying
the resume of the hardware until the first use, now waking up immediately
at resume. This is for buggy BIOS.
For ASoC, dynamic PCM support and the improved support for digital links
between off-SoC devices are major framework changes.
Some highlights are below:
* HD-audio
- Avoid the accesses of invalid pin-control bits that may stall the codec
- V-ref setup cleanups
- Fix the races in power-saving code
- Fix the races in codec cache hashes and connection lists
- Split some common codes for BIOS auto-parser to hda_auto_parser.c
- Changed the PM resume code to wake up immediately for buggy BIOS
- Creative SoundCore3D support
- Add Conexant CX20751/2/3/4 codec support
* ASoC
- Dynamic PCM support, allowing support for SoCs with internal routing
through components with tight sequencing and formatting constraints
within their internal paths or where there are multiple components
connected with CPU managed DMA controllers inside the SoC.
- Greatly improved support for direct digital links between off-SoC
devices, providing a much simpler way of connecting things like digital
basebands to CODECs.
- Much more fine grained and robust locking, cleaning up some of the
confusion that crept in with multi-component.
- CPU support for nVidia Tegra 30 I2S and audio hub controllers and
ST-Ericsson MSP I2S controolers
- New CODEC drivers for Cirrus CS42L52, LAPIS Semiconductor ML26124, Texas
Instruments LM49453.
- Some regmap changes needed by the Tegra I2S driver.
- mc13783 audio support.
* Misc
- Rewrite with module_pci_driver()
- Xonar DGX support for snd-oxygen
- Improvement of packet handling in snd-firewire driver
- New USB-endpoint streaming logic
- Enhanced M-audio FTU quirks and relevant cleanups
- Increment the support of OSS devices to 256
- snd-aloop accuracy improvement
There are a few more pending changes for 3.5, but they will be
sent slightly later as partly depending on the changes of DRM.

Pull fpu state cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree streamlines further aspects of FPU handling by eliminating
the prepare_to_copy() complication and moving that logic to
arch_dup_task_struct().
It also fixes the FPU dumps in threaded core dumps, removes and old
(and now invalid) assumption plus micro-optimizes the exit path by
avoiding an FPU save for dead tasks."

in because we now do the FPU handling in arch_dup_task_struct() rather

windfarm drivers). That's one more step toward removing the
deprecated i2c APIs, there's still a few drivers to fix, but we are
getting close
