7508e16c9f KVM: PPC: Add feature bitmap for magic page
We will soon add SR PV support to the shared page, so we need some
infrastructure that allows the guest to query for features KVM exports.

This patch adds a second return value to the magic mapping that
indicated to the guest which features are available.

989044ee0f KVM: PPC: Fix CONFIG_KVM_GUEST && !CONFIG_KVM case
When CONFIG_KVM_GUEST is selected, but CONFIG_KVM is not, we were missing
some defines in asm-offsets.c and included too many headers at other places.

This patch makes above configuration work.

a58ddea556 KVM: PPC: Move KVM trampolines before __end_interrupts
When using a relocatable kernel we need to make sure that the trampline code
and the interrupt handlers are both copied to low memory. The only way to do
this reliably is to put them in the copied section.

This patch should make relocated kernels work with KVM.

644bfa013f KVM: PPC: PV wrteei
On BookE the preferred way to write the EE bit is the wrteei instruction. It
already encodes the EE bit in the instruction.

So in order to get BookE some speedups as well, let's also PV'nize thati
instruction.

7810927760 KVM: PPC: PV mtmsrd L=0 and mtmsr
There is also a form of mtmsr where all bits need to be addressed. While the
PPC64 Linux kernel behaves resonably well here, on PPC32 we do not have an
L=1 form. It does mtmsr even for simple things like only changing EE.

So we need to hook into that one as well and check for a mask of bits that we
deem safe to change from within guest context.

819a63dc79 KVM: PPC: PV mtmsrd L=1
The PowerPC ISA has a special instruction for mtmsr that only changes the EE
and RI bits, namely the L=1 form.

Since that one is reasonably often occuring and simple to implement, let's
go with this first. Writing EE=0 is always just a store. Doing EE=1 also
requires us to check for pending interrupts and if necessary exit back to the
hypervisor.

92234722ed KVM: PPC: PV assembler helpers
When we hook an instruction we need to make sure we don't clobber any of
the registers at that point. So we write them out to scratch space in the
magic page. To make sure we don't fall into a race with another piece of
hooked code, we need to disable interrupts.

To make the later patches and code in general easier readable, let's introduce
a set of defines that save and restore r30, r31 and cr. Let's also define some
helpers to read the lower 32 bits of a 64 bit field on 32 bit systems.

2d4f567103 KVM: PPC: Introduce kvm_tmp framework
We will soon require more sophisticated methods to replace single instructions
with multiple instructions. We do that by branching to a memory region where we
write replacement code for the instruction to.

This region needs to be within 32 MB of the patched instruction though, because
that's the furthest we can jump with immediate branches.

So we keep 1MB of free space around in bss. After we're done initing we can just
tell the mm system that the unused pages are free, but until then we have enough
space to fit all our code in.

666e7252a1 KVM: PPC: Convert MSR to shared page
One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the
MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to
toggle in critical sections.

So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's
put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read
its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few
safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation
for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest.

5336377d62 modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race
With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.

However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.

Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.

So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.

Future fixups:
 - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
   belongs.
 - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
   (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
   for other reasons.

54a8340433 powerpc: Don't use kernel stack with translation off
In f761622e59 we changed
early_setup_secondary so it's called using the proper kernel stack
rather than the emergency one.

Unfortunately, this stack pointer can't be used when translation is off
on PHYP as this stack pointer might be outside the RMO.  This results in
the following on all non zero cpus:
  cpu 0x1: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000001639fd10]
      pc: 000000000001c50c
      lr: 000000000000821c
      sp: c00000001639ff90

   dsisr: 42000000
    current = 0xc000000016393540
    paca    = 0xc000000006e00200
      pid   = 0, comm = swapper

The original patch was only tested on bare metal system, so it never
caught this problem.

This changes __secondary_start so that we calculate the new stack
pointer but only start using it after we've called early_setup_secondary.

With this patch, the above problem goes away.

b0d278b7d3 powerpc/perf_event: Reduce latency of calling perf_event_do_pending
Commit 0fe1ac48 ("powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to
perf_event_do_pending call") moved the call to perf_event_do_pending
in timer_interrupt() down so that it was after the irq_enter() call.
Unfortunately this moved it after the code that checks whether it
is time for the next decrementer clock event.  The result is that
the call to perf_event_do_pending() won't happen until the next
decrementer clock event is due.  This was pointed out by Milton
Miller.

This fixes it by moving the check for whether it's time for the
next decrementer clock event down to the point where we're about
to call the event handler, after we've called perf_event_do_pending.

This has the side effect that on old pre-Core99 Powermacs where we
use the ppc_n_lost_interrupts mechanism to replay interrupts, a
replayed interrupt will incur a little more latency since it will
now do the code from the irq_enter down to the irq_exit, that it
used to skip.  However, these machines are now old and rare enough
that this doesn't matter.  To make it clear that ppc_n_lost_interrupts
is only used on Powermacs, and to speed up the code slightly on
non-Powermac ppc32 machines, the code that tests ppc_n_lost_interrupts
is now conditional on CONFIG_PMAC as well as CONFIG_PPC32.

->   r4 = address of this chunk (master only)

unused by purgatory at the moment but we go ahead and set it
here as well

f761622e59 powerpc: Initialise paca->kstack before early_setup_secondary
As early setup calls down to slb_initialize(), we must have kstack
initialised before checking "should we add a bolted SLB entry for our kstack?"

Failing to do so means stack access requires an SLB miss exception to refill
an entry dynamically, if the stack isn't accessible via SLB(0) (kernel text
& static data).  It's not always allowable to take such a miss, and
intermittent crashes will result.

Primary CPUs don't have this issue; an SLB entry is not bolted for their
stack anyway (as that lives within SLB(0)).  This patch therefore only
affects the init of secondaries.

7aa241fdce powerpc: Fix bogus it_blocksize in VIO iommu code
When looking at some issues with the virtual ethernet driver I noticed
that TCE allocation was following a very strange pattern:

address 00e9000 length 2048

address 0429000 length 2048
address 0449000 length 2048

address 0489000 length 2048
address 04a9000 length 2048
address 04c9000 length 2048
address 04e9000 length 2048
address 4009000 length 2048 <-----
address 4029000 length 2048

Huge unexplained gaps in what should be an empty TCE table. It turns out
it_blocksize, the amount we want to align the next allocation to, was
c0000000fe903b20. Completely bogus.

Initialise it to something reasonable in the VIO IOMMU code, and use kzalloc
everywhere to protect against this when we next add a non compulsary
field to iommu code and forget to initialise it.

029b8f662b powerpc/47x: Make sure mcsr is cleared before enabling machine check interrupts
Clear the machine check syndrom register before enabling machine check
interrupts.  The initial state of the tlb can lead to parity errors being
flagged early after a cold boot.

d7627467b7 Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:

arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.

Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
aren't.  The list includes:

 (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
     syscalls and some mount syscalls.

 (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.

 (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.

3f0a55e357 kgdb,powerpc: Replace hardcoded offset by BREAK_INSTR_SIZE
kgdb_handle_breakpoint checks the first arch_kgdb_breakpoint
which is not known by gdb that's why is necessary jump over
it. The jump lenght is equal to BREAK_INSTR_SIZE that's
why is cleaner to use defined macro instead of hardcoded
non-described offset.
