9ff0c61d08 powerpc: Mask smp_processor_id() false positive
The rtas_event_scan() function uses smp_processor_id() to select a
starting point in cpu_online_mask, and does so under the protection
of get_online_cpus().  This might not select the current processor
in any case, so switch to raw_smp_processor_id().

1f1936ff3f powerpc: Fix some 6xx/7xxx CPU setup functions
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.

This probably caused some off behaviours on some PowerMac variants
using 750cx or 7455 processor revisions.

af9eef3c7b powerpc: Pass the right cpu_spec to ->setup_cpu() on 64-bit
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.

fbe754ca3a powerpc: machine_check_generic is wrong on 64bit
Decoding machine checks is CPU specific and so machine_check_generic doesn't
do the right thing on 64bit chips. Luckily we never call into this code
because we call ppc_md.machine_check_exception instead if available.

Since we check cur_cpu_spec->machine_check before calling it, we may as
well remove machine_check_generic from 64bit archs.

4bca770ede powerpc: perf: Fix frequency calculation for overflowing counters
When profiling a benchmark that is almost 100% userspace, I noticed some wildly
inaccurate profiles that showed almost all time spent in the kernel.

Closer examination shows we were programming a tiny number of cycles into the
PMU after each overflow (about ~200 away from the next overflow). This gets us
stuck in a loop which we eventually break out of by throttling the PMU (there
are regular throttle/unthrottle events in the log).

It looks like we aren't setting event->hw.last_period to something same and the
frequency to period calculations in perf are going haywire.

With the following patch we find the correct period after a few interrupts and
stay there. I also see no more throttle events.

reason:
if the tbu not starts from 0 when linux boots, boot_tb

edc79a2f3e powerpc/nvram: Move the log partition stuff to pseries
The nvram log partition stuff currently in nvram_64.c is really
pseries specific. It isn't actually used on anything else (despite
the fact that we ran the code to setup the partition on anything
except powermac) and the log format is specific to pseries RTAS
implementation. So move it where it belongs

d9626947f2 powerpc/nvram: Change nvram_setup_partition() to use new helper
This changes the function to use nvram_find_partition() instead
of doing the lookup "by hand". It also makes some of the logic
clearer and prints out more useful diagnostic information.

fa2b4e54d4 powerpc/nvram: Improve partition removal
Existing code is nasty, has bugs etc... rewrite the function
more simply, and make it take the signature and optional
name of the partitions to remove as arguments, thus making
it a more generic utility.

We also try to remove a log partition that we find and is too
small rather than creating a duplicate.

e49e2e8723 powerpc/nvram: Shuffle code around in nvram_create_partition()
This error log stuff is really pseries specific. As a first step we move
the initialization of these variables to the caller of
nvram_create_partition(), which is also slightly reorganized so we
setup the free partition before we clear the new partition, so the
chance of an error during clear leaving us with invalid headers
is lessened.

cef0d5ad62 powerpc/nvram: Completely clear a new partition
When creating a partition, we clear it entirely rather than
just the first two words since the previous code was rather
specific to the pseries log partition format.
