In the process of generalizing as much code as possible, I also moved
the shadow vcpu code together to a generic book3s file. Unfortunately
the location of the shadow vcpu is different on 32 and 64 bit, so we
need a wrapper function to tell us where it is.
That sounded like a perfect fit for a subarch specific header file.
Here we can put anything that needs to be different between those two.

The one big thing about the Gekko is paired singles.
Paired singles are an extension to the instruction set, that adds 32 single
precision floating point registers (qprs), some SPRs to modify the behavior
of paired singled operations and instructions to deal with qprs to the
instruction set.
Unfortunately, it also changes semantics of existing operations that affect
single values in FPRs. In most cases they get mirrored to the coresponding
QPR.
Thanks to that we need to emulate all FPU operations and all the new paired
single operations too.
In order to achieve that, we use the just introduced FPU call helpers to
call the real FPU whenever the guest wants to modify an FPR. Additionally
we also fix up the QPR values along the way.
That way we can execute paired single FPU operations without implementing a
soft fpu.

While in theory user_enable_single_step/user_disable_single_step/
user_enable_blockstep could also be provided as an inline or macro there's
no good reason to do so, and having the prototype in one places keeps code
size and confusion down.
Roland said:
The original thought there was that user_enable_single_step() et al
might well be only an instruction or three on a sane machine (as if we
have any of those!), and since there is only one call site inlining
would be beneficial. But I agree that there is no strong reason to care
about inlining it.
As to the arch changes, there is only one thought I'd add to the
record. It was always my thinking that for an arch where
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does text-modifying breakpoint insertion,
user_enable_single_step() should not be provided. That is,
arch_has_single_step()=>true means that there is an arch facility with
"pure" semantics that does not have any unexpected side effects.
Inserting a breakpoint might do very unexpected strange things in
multi-threaded situations. Aside from that, it is a peculiar side
effect that user_{enable,disable}_single_step() should cause COW
de-sharing of text pages and so forth. For PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, all these
peculiarities are the status quo ante for that arch, so having
arch_ptrace() itself do those is one thing. But for building other
things in the future, it is nicer to have a uniform "pure" semantics
that arch-independent code can expect.
OTOH, all such arch issues are really up to the arch maintainer. As
of today, there is nothing but ptrace using user_enable_single_step() et
al so it's a distinction without a practical difference. If/when there
are other facilities that use user_enable_single_step() and might care,
the affected arch's can revisit the question when someone cares about
the quality of the arch support for said new facility.

Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.
There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.
Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on

On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for
each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically
allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will
waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus.
We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at
boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access
the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system.
The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas,
but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any
unused pacas.

This implements perf_event support for the Freescale embedded performance
monitor, based on the existing perf_event.c that supports server/classic
chips.
Some limitations:
- Performance monitor interrupts are regular EE interrupts, and thus you
can't profile places with interrupts disabled. We may want to implement
soft IRQ-disabling, with perfmon interrupts exempted and treated as NMIs.
- When trying to schedule multiple event groups at once, and using
restricted events, situations could arise where scheduling fails even
though it would be possible. Consider three groups, each with two events.
One group has restricted events, the others don't. The two non-restricted
groups are scheduled, then one is removed, which happens to occupy the two
counters that can't do restricted events. The remaining non-restricted
group will not be moved to the non-restricted-capable counters to make
room if the restricted group tries to be scheduled.

SRR1 stores more information that just the MSR value. It also stores
valuable information about the type of interrupt we received, for
example whether the storage interrupt we just got was because of a
missing htab entry or not.
We use that information to speed up the exit path.
Now if we get preempted before we can interpret the shadow_msr values,
we get into vcpu_put which then calls the MSR handler, which then sets
all the SRR1 information bits in shadow_msr to 0. Great.
So let's preserve the SRR1 specific bits in shadow_msr whenever we set
the MSR. They don't hurt.
