Building a 64-bit powerpc kernel with PR KVM enabled currently gives

This happens because the MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro turns into
33 instructions, but we only have space for 32 at the decrementer
interrupt vector (from 0x900 to 0x980).
In the code generated by the MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro, we
currently have two instances of the HMT_MEDIUM macro, which has the
effect of setting the SMT thread priority to medium. One is the
first instruction, and is overwritten by a no-op on processors where
we save the PPR (processor priority register), that is, POWER7 or
later. The other is after we have saved the PPR.
In order to reduce the code at 0x900 by one instruction, we omit the
first HMT_MEDIUM. On processors without SMT this will have no effect
since HMT_MEDIUM is a no-op there. On POWER5 and RS64 machines this
will mean that the first few instructions take a little longer in the
case where a decrementer interrupt occurs when the hardware thread is
running at low SMT priority. On POWER6 and later machines, the
hardware automatically boosts the thread priority when a decrementer
interrupt is taken if the thread priority was below medium, so this
change won't make any difference.
The alternative would be to branch out of line after saving the CFAR.
However, that would incur an extra overhead on all processors, whereas
the approach adopted here only adds overhead on older threaded processors.

The firmware_has_feature() function makes it easy to check for supported
features of the hypervisor. This patch extends the capability of
firmware_has_feature() to include checking for specified bits
in vector 5 of the architecture vector as reported in the device tree.
As part of this the #defines used for the architecture vector are re-defined
such that each option has the index into vector 5 and the feature bit encoded
into it. This makes checking for architecture bits when initiating data
for firmware_has_feature much easier.

A PRRN event is signaled via the RTAS event-scan mechanism, which
returns a Hot Plug Event message "fixed part" indicating "Platform
Resource Reassignment". In response to the Hot Plug Event message,
we must call ibm,update-nodes to determine which resources were
reassigned and then ibm,update-properties to obtain the new affinity
information about those resources.
The PRRN event-scan RTAS message contains only the "fixed part" with
the "Type" field set to the value 160 and no Extended Event Log. The
four-byte Extended Event Log Length field is re-purposed (since no
Extended Event Log message is included) to pass the "scope" parameter
that causes the ibm,update-nodes to return the nodes affected by the
specific resource reassignment.
This patch adds a handler for RTAS events. The function
pseries_devicetree_update() (from mobility.c) is used to make the
ibm,update-nodes/ibm,update-properties RTAS calls. Updating the NUMA maps
(handled by a subsequent patch) will require significant processing,
so pseries_devicetree_update() is called from an asynchronous workqueue
to allow event processing to continue.
PRRN RTAS events on pseries systems are rare events that have to be
initiated from the HMC console for the system by an IBM tech. This allows
us to assume that these events are widely spaced. Additionally, all work
on the queue is flushed before handling any new work to ensure we only have
one event in flight being handled at a time.

POWER8 allows us to take interrupts with the MMU on. This gives us a
second set of vectors offset at 0x4000.
Unfortunately when coping these vectors we missed checking for MSR HV
for hardware interrupts (0x500). This results in us trying to use
HSRR0/1 when HV=0, rather than SRR0/1 on HW IRQs
The below fixes this to check CPU_FTR_HVMODE when patching the code at
0x4500.
Also we remove the check for CPU_FTR_ARCH_206 since relocation on IRQs
are only available in arch 2.07 and beyond.

In __after_prom_start we copy the kernel down to zero in two calls to
copy_and_flush. After the first call (copy from 0 to copy_to_here:)
we jump to the newly copied code soon after.
Unfortunately there's no isync between the copy of this code and the
jump to it. Hence it's possible that stale instructions could still be
in the icache or pipeline before we branch to it.
We've seen this on real machines and it's results in no console output

Powerpc initializes the DMA and IRQ information in pci_scan_child_bus()->
pcibios_fixup_bus()->pcibios_setup_bus_devices(). But for the devices
which are hotpluged, bus->is added has been set for the first scan of the
PCI-e bus, so the initialization code won't be called. Then the hotpluged
devices' driver will fail to load.
For example :
The PCI-e device 0001:03:00.0 is the Intel PCI-e e1000e network card, remove
it from the system:
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0001\:03\:00.0/remove
# e1000e 0001:03:00.0 eth0: removed PHC
Rescan it from it's bus:
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0001\:02\:00.0/rescan
...
e1000e 0001:03:00.0: Disabling ASPM L0s L1
e1000e 0001:03:00.0: No usable DMA configuration, aborting
e1000e: probe of 0001:03:00.0 failed with error -5
So we move the DMA & IRQ initialization code from pcibios_setup_devices() and
construct a new function pcibios_enable_device. We call this function in
pcibios_enable_device, which will be called by PCI-e rescan code. At the
meanwhile, we avoid the the impact on cardbus. I also validate this patch with
silicon's PCIe-sata which encounters the IRQ issue.

This adds new debug feature information so that the DAWR can be

allow for specifying that only some ranges are possible or even the end
alignment constraints (DAWR only allows 512 byte wide ranges which can't
cross a 512 byte boundary).
After talking to Edjunior Machado (GDB ppc developer), it was decided
this was the best approach. Just mark it as debug feature DAWR and
tools like GDB can internally decide the constraints.

We get the address of the TOC entries with the __prom_init_toc_start

the case for older toolchains.
On the other hand, if we have a newer toolchain that supports

relative offset from r2 (the TOC pointer). Since r2 has already been
relocated, nothing more needs to be done. Adding an offset in this

Currently we only set the FSCR (Facility Status and Control Register) when HV=1
but this feature is available when HV=0 also. This patch sets FSCR when HV=0.
Also, we currently only set the FSCR on the master CPU. This patch also sets
the FSCR on secondary CPUs.

Currently we use the link register to branch up high in the early MMU on
syscall entry path. Unfortunately, this trashes the link stack as the
address we are going to is not associated with the earlier mflr.
This patch simply converts us to used the count register (volatile over
syscalls anyway) instead. This is much better at predicting in this
scenario and doesn't trash link stack causing a bunch of additional
branch mispredicts later. Benchmarking this on POWER8 saves a bunch of
cycles on Anton's null syscall benchmark here:

Pull signal/compat fixes from Al Viro:
"Fixes for several regressions introduced in the last signal.git pile,
along with fixing bugs in truncate and ftruncate compat (on just about
anything biarch at least one of those two had been done wrong)."
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
compat: restore timerfd settime and gettime compat syscalls
[regression] braino in "sparc: convert to ksignal"
fix compat truncate/ftruncate
switch lseek to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
lseek() and truncate() on sparc really need sign extension
