When CPU hotplug is used, some CPUs may be offline at the time a kexec is
performed. The subsequent kernel may expect these CPUs to be already running,
and will declare them stuck. On pseries, there's also a soft-offline (cede)
state that CPUs may be in; this can also cause problems as the kexeced kernel
may ask RTAS if they're online -- and RTAS would say they are. The CPU will
either appear stuck, or will cause a crash as we replace its cede loop beneath
it.
This patch kicks each present offline CPU awake before the kexec, so that
none are forever lost to these assumptions in the subsequent kernel.
Now, the behaviour is that all available CPUs that were offlined are now
online & usable after the kexec. This mimics the behaviour of a full reboot
(on which all CPUs will be restarted).

We should use perf_sample_data_init() to initialize struct
perf_sample_data. As explained in the description of commit dc1d628a
("perf: Provide generic perf_sample_data initialization"), it is
possible for userspace to get the kernel to dereference data.raw,
so if it is not initialized, that means that unprivileged userspace
can possibly oops the kernel. Using perf_sample_data_init makes sure
it gets initialized to NULL.

of_platform_bus was being used in the same manner as the platform_bus.
The only difference being that of_platform_bus devices are generated
from data in the device tree, and platform_bus devices are usually
statically allocated in platform code. Having them separate causes
the problem of device drivers having to be registered twice if it
was possible for the same device to appear on either bus.
This patch removes of_platform_bus_type and registers all of_platform
bus devices and drivers on the platform bus instead. A previous patch
made the of_device structure an alias for the platform_device structure,
and a shim is used to adapt of_platform_drivers to the platform bus.
After all of of_platform_bus drivers are converted to be normal platform
drivers, the shim code can be removed.

v2. Fix lockdep bug
Re-mask interrupts when coming back from idle
When booting a relocatable kernel it needs to jump to the correct
start address, which for BookE parts is usually unchanged
regardless of the physical memory offset.
Recent changes cause problems with how we calculate the start
address, it was always adding the RMO into the start address
which is incorrect. This patch only adds in the RMO offset
if we are in the kexec code path, as it needs the RMO to work
correctly.
Instead of adding the RMO offset in in the common code path, we
can just set r6 to the RMO offset in the kexec code path instead
of to zero, and finally perform the masking in the common code
path

The problem is at that point we don't know what our regs are, and that

include/asm-generic/irq_regs.h declares per-cpu irq_regs variables and
get_irq_regs() and set_irq_regs() helper functions to maintain them.
These can be used to access the proper pt_regs structure related to the
current interrupt entry (if any).
In the powerpc arch code, this is used to maintain irq regs on
decrementer and external interrupt exceptions. However, for the
doorbell exceptions used by the msgsnd/msgrcv IPI mechanism of newer
BookE CPUs, the irq_regs are not kept up to date.
In particular this means that xmon will not work properly on SMP,
because the secondary xmon instances started by IPI will blow up when
they cannot retrieve the irq regs.
This patch fixes the problem by adding calls to maintain the irq regs
across doorbell exceptions.

The doorbells use the content of the PIR register to match messages
from other CPUs. This may or may not be the same as our linux CPU
number, so using that as the "target" is no right.
Instead, we sample the PIR register at boot on every processor
and use that value subsequently when sending IPIs.
We also use a per-cpu message mask rather than a global array which
should limit cache line contention.
Note: We could use the CPU number in the device-tree instead of
the PIR register, as they are supposed to be equivalent. This
might prove useful if doorbells are to be used to kick CPUs out
of FW at boot time, thus before we can sample the PIR. This is
however not the case now and using the PIR just works.

Our handling of debug interrupts on Book3E 64-bit is not quite
the way it should be just yet. This is a workaround to let gdb
work at least for now. We ensure that when context switching,
we set the appropriate DBCR0 value for the new task. We also
make sure that we turn off MSR[DE] within the kernel, and set
it as part of the bits that get set when going back to userspace.
In the long run, we will probably set the userspace DBCR0 on the
exception exit code path and ensure we have some proper kernel
value to set on the way into the kernel, a bit like ppc32 does,
but that will take more work.

Now we dynamically allocate the paca array, it takes an extra load
whenever we want to access another cpu's paca. One place we do that a lot
is per cpu variables. A simple example:
DEFINE_PER_CPU(unsigned long, vara);
unsigned long test4(int cpu)
{
return per_cpu(vara, cpu);
}
This takes 4 loads, 5 if you include the actual load of the per cpu variable:
ld r11,-32760(r30) # load address of paca pointer
ld r9,-32768(r30) # load link address of percpu variable
sldi r3,r29,9 # get offset into paca (each entry is 512 bytes)
ld r0,0(r11) # load paca pointer
add r3,r0,r3 # paca + offset
ld r11,64(r3) # load paca[cpu].data_offset
ldx r3,r9,r11 # load per cpu variable
If we remove the ppc64 specific per_cpu_offset(), we get the generic one
which indexes into a statically allocated array. This removes one load and
one add:
ld r11,-32760(r30) # load address of __per_cpu_offset
ld r9,-32768(r30) # load link address of percpu variable
sldi r3,r29,3 # get offset into __per_cpu_offset (each entry 8 bytes)
ldx r11,r11,r3 # load __per_cpu_offset[cpu]
ldx r3,r9,r11 # load per cpu variable
Having all the offsets in one array also helps when iterating over a per cpu
variable across a number of cpus, such as in the scheduler. Before we would
need to load one paca cacheline when calculating each per cpu offset. Now we
have 16 (128 / sizeof(long)) per cpu offsets in each cacheline.

Since the decrementer and timekeeping code was moved over to using
the generic clockevents and timekeeping infrastructure, several
variables and functions have been obsolete and effectively unused.
This deletes them.
In particular, wakeup_decrementer() is no longer needed since the
generic code reprograms the decrementer as part of the process of
resuming the timekeeping code, which happens during sysdev resume.
Thus the wakeup_decrementer calls in the suspend_enter methods for
52xx platforms have been removed. The call in the powermac cpu
frequency change code has been replaced by set_dec(1), which will
cause a timer interrupt as soon as interrupts are enabled, and the
generic code will then reprogram the decrementer with the correct
value.
This also simplifies the generic_suspend_en/disable_irqs functions
and makes them static since they are not referenced outside time.c.
The preempt_enable/disable calls are removed because the generic
code has disabled all but the boot cpu at the point where these
functions are called, so we can't be moved to another cpu.

Currently it is possible for userspace to see the result of
gettimeofday() going backwards by 1 microsecond, assuming that
userspace is using the gettimeofday() in the VDSO. The VDSO
gettimeofday() algorithm computes the time in "xsecs", which are
units of 2^-20 seconds, or approximately 0.954 microseconds,
using the algorithm
now = (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs + stamp_xsec
and then converts the time in xsecs to seconds and microseconds.
The kernel updates the tb_orig_stamp and stamp_xsec values every
tick in update_vsyscall(). If the length of the tick is not an
integer number of xsecs, then some precision is lost in converting
the current time to xsecs. For example, with CONFIG_HZ=1000, the
tick is 1ms long, which is 1048.576 xsecs. That means that
stamp_xsec will advance by either 1048 or 1049 on each tick.
With the right conditions, it is possible for userspace to get
(timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being 1049 if the kernel is
slightly late in updating the vdso_datapage, and then for stamp_xsec
to advance by 1048 when the kernel does update it, and for userspace
to then see (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being zero due to
integer truncation. The result is that time appears to go backwards
by 1 microsecond.
To fix this we change the VDSO gettimeofday to use a new field in the
VDSO datapage which stores the nanoseconds part of the time as a
fractional number of seconds in a 0.32 binary fraction format.
(Or put another way, as a 32-bit number in units of 0.23283 ns.)
This is convenient because we can use the mulhwu instruction to
convert it to either microseconds or nanoseconds.
Since it turns out that computing the time of day using this new field
is simpler than either using stamp_xsec (as gettimeofday does) or
stamp_xtime.tv_nsec (as clock_gettime does), this converts both
gettimeofday and clock_gettime to use the new field. The existing
__do_get_tspec function is converted to use the new field and take
a parameter in r7 that indicates the desired resolution, 1,000,000
for microseconds or 1,000,000,000 for nanoseconds. The __do_get_xsec
function is then unused and is deleted.
The new algorithm is
now = ((timebase - tb_orig_stamp) << 12) * tb_to_xs
+ (stamp_xtime_seconds << 32) + stamp_sec_fraction
with 'now' in units of 2^-32 seconds. That is then converted to
seconds and either microseconds or nanoseconds with
seconds = now >> 32
partseconds = ((now & 0xffffffff) * resolution) >> 32
The 32-bit VDSO code also makes a further simplification: it ignores
the bottom 32 bits of the tb_to_xs value, which is a 0.64 format binary
fraction. Doing so gets rid of 4 multiply instructions. Assuming
a timebase frequency of 1GHz or less and an update interval of no
more than 10ms, the upper 32 bits of tb_to_xs will be at least
4503599, so the error from ignoring the low 32 bits will be at most
2.2ns, which is more than an order of magnitude less than the time
taken to do gettimeofday or clock_gettime on our fastest processors,
so there is no possibility of seeing inconsistent values due to this.
This also moves update_gtod() down next to its only caller, and makes
update_vsyscall use the time passed in via the wall_time argument rather
than accessing xtime directly. At present, wall_time always points to
