a14c4508f4 [POWERPC] Fix PowerPC 750CL and 750GX CPU features
PowerPC 750CL has high BATs.  The patch below adds a CPU_FTRS_750CL that
includes that.  Without it, the original firmware mappings in the high BATs
aren't cleared which continue to override the linux translations.

It also adds CPU_FTR_COMMON to CPU_FTRS_750GX for completeness.

aa42c69c67 [POWERPC] Add support for FP emulation for the e300c2 core
The e300c2 has no FPU.  Its MSR[FP] is grounded to zero.  If an attempt
is made to execute a floating point instruction (including floating-point
load, store, or move instructions), the e300c2 takes a floating-point
unavailable interrupt.

This patch adds support for FP emulation on the e300c2 by declaring a
new CPU_FTR_FP_TAKES_FPUNAVAIL, where FP unavail interrupts are
intercepted and redirected to the ProgramCheck exception path for
correct emulation handling.

(If we run out of CPU_FTR bits we could look to reclaim this bit by adding
support to test the cpu_user_features for PPC_FEATURE_HAS_FPU instead)

It adds a nop to the exception path for 32-bit processors with a FPU.

974a76f513 [POWERPC] Distinguish POWER6 partition modes and tell userspace
This adds code to look at the properties firmware puts in the device
tree to determine what compatibility mode the partition is in on
POWER6 machines, and set the ELF aux vector AT_HWCAP and AT_PLATFORM
entries appropriately.

Specifically, we look at the cpu-version property in the cpu node(s).
If that contains a "logical" PVR value (of the form 0x0f00000x), we
call identify_cpu again with this PVR value.  A value of 0x0f000001
indicates the partition is in POWER5+ compatibility mode, and a value
of 0x0f000002 indicates "POWER6 architected" mode, with various
extensions disabled.  We also look for various other properties:
ibm,dfp, ibm,purr and ibm,spurr.

18f2190d79 [POWERPC] cell: Add oprofile support
Add PPU event-based and cycle-based profiling support to Oprofile for Cell.

Oprofile is expected to collect data on all CPUs simultaneously.
However, there is one set of performance counters per node.  There are
two hardware threads or virtual CPUs on each node.  Hence, OProfile must
multiplex in time the performance counter collection on the two virtual
CPUs.

The multiplexing of the performance counters is done by a virtual
counter routine.  Initially, the counters are configured to collect data
on the even CPUs in the system, one CPU per node.  In order to capture
the PC for the virtual CPU when the performance counter interrupt occurs
(the specified number of events between samples has occurred), the even
processors are configured to handle the performance counter interrupts
for their node.  The virtual counter routine is called via a kernel
timer after the virtual sample time.  The routine stops the counters,
saves the current counts, loads the last counts for the other virtual
CPU on the node, sets interrupts to be handled by the other virtual CPU
and restarts the counters, the virtual timer routine is scheduled to run
again.  The virtual sample time is kept relatively small to make sure
sampling occurs on both CPUs on the node with a relatively small
granularity.  Whenever the counters overflow, the performance counter
interrupt is called to collect the PC for the CPU where data is being
collected.

The oprofile driver relies on a firmware RTAS call to setup the debug bus
to route the desired signals to the performance counter hardware to be
counted.  The RTAS call must set the routing registers appropriately in
each of the islands to pass the signals down the debug bus as well as
routing the signals from a particular island onto the bus.  There is a
second firmware RTAS call to reset the debug bus to the non pass thru
state when the counters are not in use.

0909c8c2d5 [POWERPC] Support feature fixups in vdso's
This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up.
The main issue was that the construct:

        .long   label  (or .llong on 64 bits)

will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will
generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc,
which is not something we can deal with in the vdso.

The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like:

1:
        .long   label - 1b

That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of
code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry
itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've
modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest
of the kernel as well.

Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel
need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not
support 32 bits code with a statement of the form:

        .llong  label - 1b  (Or even just .llong label)

That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use
to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific
case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are
using a modified macro that generates:

        .long   0xffffffff
        .llong  label - 1b

Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by
the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always
before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the
other way around).

42c4aaadb7 [POWERPC] Consolidate feature fixup code
There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the
feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In
addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations
for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and
separately for 32 and 64 bits.

This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are
slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from
assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any
problem.

cpu-power-2:29.343
cpu-power-3:25.784
Total: 103.8W

cpu-power-1:17.185
cpu-power-2:18.547
cpu-power-3:17.528
Total: 65.0W

If I lower HZ to 100, I can get it as low as:

cpu-power-0:10.938
cpu-power-1:16.021
cpu-power-2:17.245
cpu-power-3:16.145
Total: 60.2W

Another (older) Quad G5 went from 54W to 39W at HZ=250.

Coming back out of Deep Nap takes 40-70 cycles longer than coming back
from just Nap (which already takes quite a while). I don't think it'll
be a performance issue (interrupt latency on an idle system), but in
case someone does measurements feel free to report them.

fab5db97e4 [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctl
This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change
their endian mode via prctl.

This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up
alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for
"PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian.

We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for
little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian
user/kernel ABI.  If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is
restored to what it was when the signal was delivered.

We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and
one for true little-endian.  Most of the classic 32-bit processors
support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature
table.  There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland
in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry.

This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard.

80f15dc703 powerpc: Provide a suitable AT_PLATFORM value
The glibc folks want to use AT_PLATFORM to select between possible
alternative versions of shared libraries.  This commit makes the kernel
supply an AT_PLATFORM string that indicates what class of processor
we are running on.  Processors with the same set of user-level
instructions and roughly the same instruction scheduling characteristics
are given the same AT_PLATFORM value; for example, 821, 823 and 860
are all reported as "ppc823", and 7447, 7447A, 7448, 7450, 7451, 7455
are all called "ppc7450".

The intention is that the AT_PLATFORM values match the values that
gcc accepts for the -mcpu= option.  For values which are numeric
(e.g. -mcpu=750), "ppc" has been prepended.

This also adds a PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE bit to the AT_HWCAP value and sets
it for the 440 family and the Freescale 85xx family.

a7ddc5e853 powerpc: Add user CPU features for POWER4, POWER5, POWER5+ and Cell.
This is at the request of the glibc folks, who want to use these bits
to select libraries optimized for the microarchitecture and new
instructions in these processors.

3c726f8dee [PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages
Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K.  The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware.  On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.

Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

c1c3a554a3 powerpc: 32-bit needs cur_cpu_spec exported too
Somehow we ended up with an #ifdef CONFIG_PPC64 around the export
of cur_cpu_spec, but raid6 as a module needs it on ppc32 as well
as ppc64.
