This patch adds support for enabling and context switching the Target
Address Register in Power8. The TAR is a new special purpose register
that can be used for computed branches with the bctar[l] (branch
conditional to TAR) instruction in the same manner as the count and link
registers.

pseries/iommu: remove DDW on kexec
We currently insert a property in the device-tree when we successfully
configure DDW for a given slot. This was meant to be an optimization to
speed up kexec/kdump, so that we don't need to make the RTAS calls again
to re-configured DDW in the new kernel.
However, we end up tripping a plpar_tce_stuff failure on kexec/kdump
because we unconditionally parse the ibm,dma-window property for the
node at bus/dev setup time. This property contains the 32-bit DMA window
LIOBN, which is distinct from the DDW window's. We pass that LIOBN (via
iommu_table_init -> iommu_table_clear -> tce_free ->
tce_freemulti_pSeriesLP) to plpar_tce_stuff, which fails because that
32-bit window is no longer present after
25ebc45b93 ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: remove
default window before attempting DDW manipulation").
I believe the simplest, easiest-to-maintain fix is to just change our
initcall to, rather than detecting and updating the new kernel's DDW
knowledge, just remove all DDW configurations. When the drivers
re-initialize, we will set everything back up as it was before.

There are now two kinds of DMA windows that might be presented by
PowerVM DDW support -- huge windows (that can map all of system memory
regardless of the LPAR configuration) and non-huge windows (which
can't). They are implemented slightly differently in PowerVM, and thus
have different characteristics. The most obvious is that slot isolate
doesn't clear the TCEs/window for us with non-huge windows. Thus, when a
DLPAR operation occurs on a slot using a non-huge window, TCEs are still
present (the notifier chain doesn't currently remove them explicitly)
and the DLPAR fails. Fix this by calling remove_ddw() first, which will
unmap the DDW TCEs.
Note: a corresponding change to drmgr is needed to actually successfully
DLPAR, such that the device-tree update (which causes the notifier chain
to fire) occurs before slot isolate.

CTS-1000 is based on P4080. GPIO 27 is used to signal the FPGA to
switch off power, and also associates IRQ 8 with front-panel button
press (which we use to call orderly_poweroff()).
The relevant device-tree looks like this:
gpio0: gpio@130000 {
compatible = "fsl,qoriq-gpio";
reg = <0x130000 0x1000>;
interrupts = <55 2 0 0>;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
gpio-controller;
/* Allows powering off the system via GPIO signal. */
gpio-halt@27 {
compatible = "sgy,gpio-halt";
gpios = <&gpio0 27 0>;
interrupts = <8 1 0 0>;
};
};
Because the driver cannot match on sgy,gpio-halt (because the node is never
processed through of_platform), it matches on fsl,qoriq-gpio and then
checks child nodes for the matching sgy,gpio-halt. This also ensures that
the GPIO controller is detected prior to sgy_cts1000's probe callback,
since that node wont match via of_platform until the controller is
registered.
Also, because the GPIO handler for triggering system poweroff might sleep,
the IRQ uses a workqueue to call orderly_poweroff().
As a final note, this driver may be expanded for other features specific to
the CTS-1000.

commit f96972f2dc "kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in
kernel_restart()"
added a call to disable_nonboot_cpus() on kernel_restart(), which tries
to shutdown all the CPUs except the first one. The issue with the PA
Semi, is that it does not support CPU hotplug.
When the call is made to __cpu_down(), it calls the notifiers
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, and then tries to take the CPU down.
One of the notifiers to the CPU hotplug code, is the cpufreq. The
DOWN_PREPARE will call __cpufreq_remove_dev() which calls
cpufreq_driver->exit. The PA Semi exit handler unmaps regions of I/O
that is used by an interrupt that goes off constantly
(system_reset_common, but it goes off during normal system operations
too). I'm not sure exactly what this interrupt does.
Running a simple function trace, you can see it goes off quite a bit:
# tracer: function
#

On POWER7 when we have really small counts left before overflow, we can take a
PMU IRQ, but the PMC gets wound back to just before the overflow.
If the kernel is setting the PMC to a value just before the overflow, we can
get interrupted again without the PMC making any progress (ie another buggy
overflow). In this case, we can end up making no forward progress, with the
PMC interrupt returning us to the same count over and over.
The below detects when we are making no forward progress (ie. delta = 0) and
then increases the amount left before the overflow. This stops us from locking
up.

If a PMC is about to overflow on a counter that's on an active perf event
(ie. less than 256 from the end) and a _different_ PMC overflows just at this
time (a PMC that's not on an active perf event), we currently mark the event as
found, but in reality it's not as it's likely the other PMC that caused the
IRQ. Since we mark it as found the second catch all for overflows doesn't run,
and we don't reset the overflowing PMC ever. Hence we keep hitting that same
PMC IRQ over and over and don't reset the actual overflowing counter.
This is a rewrite of the perf interrupt handler for book3s to get around this.
We now check to see if any of the PMCs have actually overflowed (ie >=
0x80000000). If yes, record it for active counters and just reset it for
inactive counters. If it's not overflowed, then we check to see if it's one of
the buggy power7 counters and if it is, record it and continue. If none of the
PMCs match this, then we make note that we couldn't find the PMC that caused
the IRQ.

The DDW code uses a eeh_dev struct from the pci_dev. However, this is
not set until eeh_add_device_late is called.
Since pci_bus_add_devices is called before eeh_add_device_late, the PCI
devices are added to the bus, making drivers' probe hooks to be called.
These will call set_dma_mask, which will call the DDW code, which will
require the eeh_dev struct from pci_dev. This would result in a crash,
due to a NULL dereference.
Calling eeh_add_device_late after pci_bus_add_devices would make the
system BUG, because device files shouldn't be added to devices there
were not added to the system. So, a new function is needed to add such
files only after pci_bus_add_devices have been called.

with nested functions, gcc will give us an error message and
won't simply compile bad code:
You cannot take the address of a nested function if you use
the -mno-pointers-to-nested-functions option.
Furthermore our kernel module trampolines don't setup the static
chain register so adding this option and forcing gcc to error out
makes even more sense.

We need devtmpfs enabled to boot on recent versions of Fedora. EFI
partitions will be useful for large block devices. tmpfs ACL support
is used by some distros for managing access to devices.

Set CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT to utf8. The distros do this (eg ppc64 FC17
and RHEL6) as well as the x86 defconfigs. Userspace these days is
most likely to expect utf8 anyway.

[PATCH 6/6] powerpc: Implement PPR save/restore
When the task enters in to kernel space, the user defined priority (PPR)
will be saved in to PACA at the beginning of first level exception
vector and then copy from PACA to thread_info in second level vector.
PPR will be restored from thread_info before exits the kernel space.
P7/P8 temporarily raises the thread priority to higher level during
exception until the program executes HMT_* calls. But it will not modify
PPR register. So we save PPR value whenever some register is available
to use and then calls HMT_MEDIUM to increase the priority. This feature
supports on P7 or later processors.
We save/ restore PPR for all exception vectors except system call entry.
GLIBC will be saving / restore for system calls. So the default PPR
value (3) will be set for the system call exit when the task returned
to the user space.

[PATCH 4/6] powerpc: Define ppr in thread_struct
ppr in thread_struct is used to save PPR and restore it before process exits
from kernel.
This patch sets the default priority to 3 when tasks are created such
that users can use 4 for higher priority tasks.
