commit cf9efce0ce (powerpc: Account time using timebase rather
than PURR) used in_irq() to detect if the time was spent in
interrupt processing. This only catches hardirq context so if we
are in softirq context and in the idle loop we end up accounting it
as idle time. If we instead use in_interrupt() we catch both softirq
and hardirq time.
The issue was found when running a network intensive workload. top
showed the following:
0.0%us, 1.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 85.7%id, 0.0%wa, 9.9%hi, 3.3%si, 0.0%st
85.7% idle. But this was wildly different to the perf events data.
To confirm the suspicion I ran something to keep the core busy:
# yes > /dev/null &
8.2%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 10.3%hi, 81.4%si, 0.0%st
We only got 8.2% of the CPU for the userspace task and softirq has
shot up to 81.4%.
With the patch below top shows the correct stats:
0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 5.3%id, 0.0%wa, 13.3%hi, 81.3%si, 0.0%st

The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state. To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.
Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.
Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param(). This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param(). It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64

In some cases during a threaded core dump not all the threads will have
a full register set. This happens when the signal causing the core dump
races with a thread exiting. The race happens when the exiting thread
has entered the kernel for the last time before the signal arrives, but
doesn't get far enough through the exit code to avoid being included
in the core dump.
So we get a thread included in the core dump which is never going to go
out to userspace again and only has a partial register set recorded
Normally we would catch each thread as it is about to go into userspace
and capture the full register set then.
However, this exiting thread is never going to go out to userspace
again, so we have no way to capture its full register set. It doesn't
really matter, though, as this is a thread which is effectively
already dead.
So instead of hitting a BUG() in this case (a really bad choice of
action in the first place), we use a poison value for the register
values.

The combination of commit
8154c5d22d and
93c22703ef
Broke boot on iSeries.
The problem is that iSeries very early boot code, which generates
the device-tree and runs before our normal early initializations
does need access the lppaca's very early, before the PACA array is
initialized, and in fact even before the boot PACA has been
initialized (it contains all 0's at this stage).
However, the first patch above makes that code use the new
llpaca_of(cpu) accessor, which itself is changed by the second patch to
use the PACA array.
We fix that by reverting iSeries to directly dereferencing the array. In
addition, we fix all iterators in the iSeries code to always skip CPU
whose number is above 63 which is the maximum size of that array and
the maximum number of supported CPUs on these machines.
Additionally, we make sure the boot_paca is properly initialized
in our early startup code.

Some of those functions try to adjust the CPU features, for example
to remove NAP support on some revisions. However, they seem to use
r5 as an index into the CPU table entry, which might have been right
a long time ago but no longer is. r4 is the right register to use.

When calling setup_cpu() on 64-bit, we pass a pointer to the
cputable entry we have found. This used to be fine when cur_cpu_spec
was a pointer to that entry, but nowadays, we copy the entry into
a separate variable, and we do so before we call the setup_cpu()
callback. That means that any attempt by that callback at patching
the CPU table entry (to adjust CPU features for example) will patch
the wrong table.
