The dev_attrs field has long been "depreciated" and is finally being
removed, so move the driver to use the "correct" dev_groups field
instead for struct bus_type.

Add a simple NMI IPI system that handles concurrency and reentrancy.
The platform does not have to implement a true non-maskable interrupt,
the default is to simply use the debugger break IPI message. This has
now been co-opted for a general IPI message, and users (debugger and
crash) have been reimplemented on top of the NMI system.

Commit 2965faa5e0 ("kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core
code") introduced CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE so that CONFIG_KEXEC means whether
the kexec_load system call should be compiled-in and CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE
means whether the kexec_file_load system call should be compiled-in.
These options can be set independently from each other.
Since until now powerpc only supported kexec_load, CONFIG_KEXEC and
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE were synonyms. That is not the case anymore, so we
need to make a distinction. Almost all places where CONFIG_KEXEC was
being used should be using CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead, since
kexec_file_load also needs that code compiled in.

This changes the way that we support the new ISA v3.00 HPTE format.
Instead of adapting everything that uses HPTE values to handle either
the old format or the new format, depending on which CPU we are on,
we now convert explicitly between old and new formats if necessary
in the low-level routines that actually access HPTEs in memory.
This limits the amount of code that needs to know about the new
format and makes the conversions explicit. This is OK because the
old format contains all the information that is in the new format.
This also fixes operation under a hypervisor, because the H_ENTER
hypercall (and other hypercalls that deal with HPTEs) will continue
to require the HPTE value to be supplied in the old format. At
present the kernel will not boot in HPT mode on POWER9 under a
hypervisor.
This fixes and partially reverts commit 50de596de8
("powerpc/mm/hash: Add support for Power9 Hash", 2016-04-29).

NO_IRQ has been == 0 on powerpc for just over ten years (since commit
0ebfff1491 ("[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change
platforms to use it")). It's also 0 on most other arches.
Although it's fairly harmless, every now and then it causes confusion
when a driver is built on powerpc and another arch which doesn't define
NO_IRQ. There's at least 6 definitions of NO_IRQ in drivers/, at least
some of which are to work around that problem.
So we'd like to remove it. This is fairly trivial in the arch code, we
just convert:
if (irq == NO_IRQ) to if (!irq)
if (irq != NO_IRQ) to if (irq)
irq = NO_IRQ; to irq = 0;
return NO_IRQ; to return 0;
And a few other odd cases as well.
At least for now we keep the #define NO_IRQ, because there is driver
code that uses NO_IRQ and the fixes to remove those will go via other
trees.
Note we also change some occurrences in PPC sound drivers, drivers/ps3,
and drivers/macintosh.

The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA
attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data.
However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned
long will do fine:
1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting
attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack
and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits.
2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the
attributes are passed by value.

Moving probe_machine() to after mmu init will cause the ppc_md

Since we have essentially disconnected the machine type from

since this is not specific to hash, so I moved it to a standalone

PowerPC is the last architecture using the GEN_RTC driver on some
machines, but we can migrate them all to using the RTC_DRV_GENERIC
driver instead now.
This moves over the CONFIG_GEN_RTC option from drivers/char into
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig and makes it just select the
replacement driver instead, for the only reason of not breaking
existing defconfig and .config files that users may have.

PowerISA 3.0 adds a parition table indexed by LPID. Parition table
allows us to specify the MMU model that will be used for guest and host
translation.
This patch adds support with SLB based hash model (UPRT = 0). What is
required with this model is to support the new hash page table entry
format and also setup partition table such that we use hash table for
address translation.
We don't have segment table support yet.
In order to make sure we don't load KVM module on Power9 (since we don't
have kvm support yet) this patch also disables KVM on Power9.

PS3 had used a PPP bit hack to implement a read only mapping in the
kernel area. Since we are bolting the ioremap area, it used the pte
flags _PAGE_PRESENT | _PAGE_USER to get a PPP value of 0x3 there by
resulting in a read only mapping. This means the area can be accessed by
user space, but kernel will never return such an address to user space.
But we can do better by implementing a read only kernel mapping using
PPP bits 0b110.
This also allows us to do read only kernel mapping for radix in later
patches.

Currently, little endian is only supported on powernv and pseries,
however, Kconfigs still allow us to include other platforms in a LE
kernel, this may result in space wasting or even build error if some
BE-only platforms always assume they are built for a BE kernel. So just
modify the Kconfigs of BE-only platforms to remove them from being built
for a LE kernel.
For 32bit only platforms, nothing needs to be done, because
CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN depends on PPC64. For 64bit supported platforms, add
CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to dependencies explicitly, so that these platforms will
be disabled for LE [Suggested-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@fr.ibm.com>].

It is not uncommon (at least with the ARM stuff) to have a piece
of hardware that implements different flavours of "interrupts".
A typical example of this is the GICv3 ITS, which implements
standard PCI/MSI support, but also some form of "generic MSI".
So far, the PCI/MSI domain is registered using the ITS device_node,
so that irq_find_host can return it. On the contrary, the raw MSI
domain is not registered with an device_node, making it impossible
to be looked up by another subsystem (obviously, using the same
device_node twice would only result in confusion, as it is not
defined which one irq_find_host would return).
A solution to this is to "type" domains that may be aliasing, and
to be able to lookup an device_node that matches a given type.
For this, we introduce irq_find_matching_host() as a superset
of irq_find_host:
struct irq_domain *irq_find_matching_host(struct device_node *node,
enum irq_domain_bus_token bus_token);
where bus_token is the "type" we want to match the domain against
(so far, only DOMAIN_BUS_ANY is defined). This result in some
moderately invasive changes on the PPC side (which is the only
user of the .match method).
This has otherwise no functionnal change.

Currently these two RTC devices are in core platform code
where it is not possible for them to be modular. It will
never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for
__initcall can be somewhat misleading.
Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of device_initcall
directly in this change means that the runtime impact is
zero -- they will remain at level 6 in initcall ordering.

upatepp can get called for a nohpte fault when we find from the linux
page table that the translation was hashed before. In that case
we are sure that there is no existing translation, hence we could
avoid doing tlbie.
We could possibly race with a parallel fault filling the TLB. But
that should be ok because updatepp is only ever relaxing permissions.
We also look at linux pte permission bits when filling hash pte
permission bits. We also hold the linux pte busy bits while
inserting/updating a hashpte entry, hence a paralle update of
linux pte is not possible. On the other hand mprotect involves
ptep_modify_prot_start which cause a hpte invalidate and not updatepp.

Although we are now selecting NO_BOOTMEM, we still have some traces of
bootmem lying around. That is because even with NO_BOOTMEM there is
still a shim that converts bootmem calls into memblock calls, but
ultimately we want to remove all traces of bootmem.
Most of the patch is conversions from alloc_bootmem() to
memblock_virt_alloc(). In general a call such as:
p = (struct foo *)alloc_bootmem(x);
Becomes:
p = memblock_virt_alloc(x, 0);
We don't need the cast because memblock_virt_alloc() returns a void *.
The alignment value of zero tells memblock to use the default alignment,
which is SMP_CACHE_BYTES, the same value alloc_bootmem() uses.
We remove a number of NULL checks on the result of
memblock_virt_alloc(). That is because memblock_virt_alloc() will panic
if it can't allocate, in exactly the same way as alloc_bootmem(), so the
NULL checks are and always have been redundant.
The memory returned by memblock_virt_alloc() is already zeroed, so we
remove several memsets of the result of memblock_virt_alloc().
Finally we convert a few uses of __alloc_bootmem(x, y, MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
to just plain memblock_virt_alloc(). We don't use memblock_alloc_base()
because MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is ~0ul on powerpc, so limiting the allocation
to that is pointless, 16XB ought to be enough for anyone.

The generic Linux framework to power off the machine is a function pointer
called pm_power_off. The trick about this pointer is that device drivers can
potentially implement it rather than board files.
Today on powerpc we set pm_power_off to invoke our generic full machine power
off logic which then calls ppc_md.power_off to invoke machine specific power
off.
However, when we want to add a power off GPIO via the "gpio-poweroff" driver,
this card house falls apart. That driver only registers itself if pm_power_off
is NULL to ensure it doesn't override board specific logic. However, since we
always set pm_power_off to the generic power off logic (which will just not
power off the machine if no ppc_md.power_off call is implemented), we can't
implement power off via the generic GPIO power off driver.
To fix this up, let's get rid of the ppc_md.power_off logic and just always use
pm_power_off as was intended. Then individual drivers such as the GPIO power off
driver can implement power off logic via that function pointer.
With this patch set applied and a few patches on top of QEMU that implement a
power off GPIO on the virt e500 machine, I can successfully turn off my virtual
machine after halt.

V2->V2
- Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1
__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)

Pull powerpc non-virtualized cpuidle from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This is the branch I mentioned in my other pull request which contains
our improved cpuidle support for the "powernv" platform
(non-virtualized).
It adds support for the "fast sleep" feature of the processor which
provides higher power savings than our usual "nap" mode but at the
cost of losing the timers while asleep, and thus exploits the new
timer broadcast framework to work around that limitation.
It's based on a tip timer tree that you seem to have already merged"

For scalability and performance reasons, we want the tick broadcast IPIs
to be handled as efficiently as possible. Fixed IPI messages
are one of the most efficient mechanisms available - they are faster than
the smp_call_function mechanism because the IPI handlers are fixed and hence
they don't involve costly operations such as adding IPI handlers to the target
CPU's function queue, acquiring locks for synchronization etc.
Luckily we have an unused IPI message slot, so use that to implement
tick broadcast IPIs efficiently.

The IPI handlers for both PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNC and PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNC_SINGLE map
to a common implementation - generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt(). So,
we can consolidate them and save one of the IPI message slots, (which are
precious on powerpc, since only 4 of those slots are available).
So, implement the functionality of PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNC_SINGLE using
PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNC itself and release its IPI message slot, so that it can be
used for something else in the future, if desired.

If a hash bucket gets full, we "evict" a more/less random entry from it.
When we do that we don't invalidate the TLB (hpte_remove) because we assume
the old translation is still technically "valid". This implies that when
we are invalidating or updating pte, even if HPTE entry is not valid
we should do a tlb invalidate. With hugepages, we need to pass the correct
actual page size value for tlb invalidation.
