ac84aa2b3b powerpc/hw_breakpoints: Fix incorrect pointer access
If arch_validate_hwbkpt_settings() fails, bp->ctx won't be valid and the

18ad51dd34 powerpc: Add VDSO version of getcpu
We have a request for a fast method of getting CPU and NUMA node IDs
from userspace. This patch implements a getcpu VDSO function,
similar to x86.

Ben suggested we use SPRG3 which is userspace readable. SPRG3 can be
modified by a KVM guest, so we save the SPRG3 value in the paca and
restore it when transitioning from the guest to the host.

I have a glibc patch that implements sched_getcpu on top of this.
Testing on a POWER7:

baseline: 538 cycles
vdso:      30 cycles

852d8cb1ff powerpc/cpuidle: Fixes for pseries_idle hotplug notifier
Currently the call to pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu(), that takes
action on the cpuidle front when a cpu is added/removed
is being made from smp_xics_setup_cpu().
This caused lockdep issues as
reported https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/2

On addition of each cpu,
resources were cleared and re-allocated each time, all in critical
section as part of start_secondary() call were interrupts are disabled.
To resolve this issue, the pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu() call is
is being replaced by a hotplug notifier which
would prevent cpuidle resources from being
released and allocated each time cpu is onlined in the critical code path.
It was fixed in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/18/174.

Also it is essential to call cpuidle_enable/disable_device
between  cpuidle_pause_and_lock()  and
cpuidle_resume_and_unlock()  when used externally
to avoid race conditions. Add support for CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN
and CPU_DEAD_FROZEN as part of hotplug notify event for
pseries_idle  and unregister hotplug notifier
while exiting out. The above mentioned issues
are fixed as part of this patch.

8bf8385b9c powerpc: Fixup oddity in entry_32.S
When I "fixed" the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS case on interrupt entry,
I screwed up a little bit with the test for user space vs. kernel.

The code is fine, there's just some dead code around it. I basically
removed the test and always create the added stack frame whether
coming from user or kernel since in any case we do need to save
a bunch of volatile registers or bad things would happen (we can
take page faults in the kernel for example).

d6b9a81b2a powerpc: IOMMU fault injection
Add the ability to inject IOMMU faults. We enable this per device
via a fail_iommu sysfs property, similar to fault injection on other
subsystems.

An example:

...
0003:01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3) (rev 02)

To inject one error to this device:

echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0003:01:00.1/fail_iommu
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_iommu/probability
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/fail_iommu/times

As feared, the first failure injected on the be3 results in an
unrecoverable error, taking down both functions of the card
permanently:

be2net 0003:01:00.1: Unrecoverable error in the card

5c093efa6f powerpc/perf: Always use pt_regs for userspace samples
At the moment we always use the SIAR if the PMU supports continuous
sampling. Unfortunately the SIAR and the PMU exception are not
synchronised for non marked events so we can end up with callchains
that dont make sense.

The following patch checks the HV and PR bits for samples coming from
userspace and always uses pt_regs for them. Userspace will never have
interrupts off so there is no real advantage to using the SIAR for
non marked events in userspace.

I had experimented with a patch that did a similar thing for kernel
samples but we lost a significant amount of information. I was
unable to profile any of our early exception code for example.

be2cf20a5a powerpc: More fixes for lazy IRQ vs. idle
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.

b4c3a8729a powerpc/iommu: Implement IOMMU pools to improve multiqueue adapter performance
At the moment all queues in a multiqueue adapter will serialise
against the IOMMU table lock. This is proving to be a big issue,
especially with 10Gbit ethernet.

This patch creates 4 pools and tries to spread the load across
them. If the table is under 1GB in size we revert back to the
original behaviour of 1 pool and 1 largealloc pool.

We create a hash to map CPUs to pools. Since we prefer interrupts to
be affinitised to primary CPUs, without some form of hashing we are
very likely to end up using the same pool. As an example, POWER7
has 4 way SMT and with 4 pools all primary threads will map to the
same pool.

The largealloc pool is reduced from 1/2 to 1/4 of the space to
partially offset the overhead of breaking the table up into pools.

Some performance numbers were obtained with a Chelsio T3 adapter on
two POWER7 boxes, running a 100 session TCP round robin test.

Performance improved 69% with this patch applied.

67ca141567 powerpc/iommu: Reduce spinlock coverage in iommu_free
This patch moves tce_free outside of the lock in iommu_free.

Some performance numbers were obtained with a Chelsio T3 adapter on
two POWER7 boxes, running a 100 session TCP round robin test.

Performance improved 25% with this patch applied.

0e4bc95d87 powerpc/iommu: Reduce spinlock coverage in iommu_alloc and iommu_free
We currently hold the IOMMU spinlock around tce_build and tce_flush.
This causes our spinlock hold times to be much higher than required
and can impact multiqueue adapters.

This patch moves tce_build and tce_flush outside of the lock in
iommu_alloc, and tce_flush outside of the lock in iommu_free.

Some performance numbers were obtained with a Chelsio T3 adapter on
two POWER7 boxes, running a 100 session TCP round robin test.

Performance improved 32% with this patch applied.

c1703e85a7 powerpc/pseries: Disable interrupts around IOMMU percpu data accesses
tce_buildmulti_pSeriesLP uses a per cpu page to communicate with the
hypervisor. We currently rely on the IOMMU table spinlock but
subsequent patches will be removing that so disable interrupts
around all accesses of tce_page.

b3f271e86e powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and enhanced prefetch
Implement a POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and enhanced prefetch
instructions.

This is a copy of the POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user
loop. Detailed implementation and performance details can be found in
commit a66086b819 (powerpc: POWER7 optimised
copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX).

I noticed memcpy issues when profiling a RAID6 workload:

	.memcpy
	.async_memcpy
	.async_copy_data
	.__raid_run_ops
	.handle_stripe
	.raid5d
	.md_thread

I created a simplified testcase by building a RAID6 array with 4 1GB
ramdisks (booting with brd.rd_size=1048576):

# mdadm -CR -e 1.2 /dev/md0 --level=6 -n4 /dev/ram[0-3]

I then timed how long it took to write to the entire array:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1M

Before: 892 MB/s
After:  999 MB/s

A 12% improvement.
