6098e2ee14 OF-device: Don't overwrite numa_node in device registration
Currently, the numa_node of OF-devices will be overwritten during
device_register, which simply sets the node to -1.  On cell machines,
this means that devices can't find their IOMMU, which is referenced
through the device's numa node.

Set the numa node for OF devices with no parent, and use the
lower-level device_initialize and device_add functions, so that the
node is preserved.

We can remove the call to set_dev_node in of_device_alloc, as it
will be overwritten during register.

16c29d180b powerpc: Fix swapcontext system for VSX + old ucontext size
Since VSX support was added, we now have two sizes of ucontext_t;
the older, smaller size without the extra VSX state, and the new
larger size with the extra VSX state.  A program using the
sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t
structures will currently get an EINVAL error if the task has
used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and
the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for
its current context to be saved).  Thus the program will start
getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked.

This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in
this case.  It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit
will always be cleared to indicate that the ucontext_t doesn't include
the extra VSX state, even if the task has executed VSX instructions.

Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated.

[paulus@samba.org - also fix some access_ok() and get_user() calls]

Thanks to Ben Herrenschmidt for noticing this problem.

2a4b9c5af8 powerpc: Work around ld bug in older binutils
Commit 549e8152de ("powerpc: Make the
64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable") added lines to
vmlinux.lds.S to add the extra sections needed to implement a
relocatable kernel.  However, those lines seem to trigger a bug in
older versions of GNU ld (such as 2.16.1) when building a
non-relocatable kernel.  Since ld 2.16.1 is still a popular choice for
cross-toolchains, this adds an #ifdef to vmlinux.lds.S so the added
lines are only included when building a relocatable kernel.

8b8b0cc1c7 powerpc/ppc64/kdump: Better flag for running relocatable
The __kdump_flag ABI is overly constraining for future development.

As of 2.6.27, the kernel entry point has 4 constraints:  Offset 0 is
the starting point for the master (boot) cpu (entered with r3 pointing
to the device tree structure), offset 0x60 is code for the slave cpus
(entered with r3 set to their device tree physical id), offset 0x20 is
used by the iseries hypervisor, and secondary cpus must be well behaved
when the first 256 bytes are copied to address 0.

Placing the __kdump_flag at 0x18 is bad because:

- It was taking the last 8 bytes before the iseries hypervisor data.
- It was 8 bytes for a boolean flag
- It had no way of identifying that the flag was present
- It does leave any room for the master to add any additional code
  before branching, which hurts debug.
- It will be unnecessarily hard for 32 bit code to be common (8 bytes)

Now that we have eliminated the use of __kdump_flag in favor of
the standard is_kdump_kernel(), this flag only controls run without
relocating the kernel to PHYSICAL_START (0), so rename it __run_at_load.

Move the flag to 0x5c, 1 word before the secondary cpu entry point at
0x60.  Initialize it with "run0" to say it will run at 0 unless it is
set to 1.  It only exists if we are relocatable.

linux/crash_dump.h defines is_kdump_kernel() to be used by code that
needs to know if the previous kernel crashed instead of a (clean) boot
or reboot.

This updates the just added powerpc code to use it.  This is needed

1767c8f392 powerpc: Kexec exit should not use magic numbers
Commit 54622f10a6 ("powerpc: Support for
relocatable kdump kernel") added a magic flag value in a register to
tell purgatory that it should be a panic kernel.  This part is wrong
and is reverted by this commit.

The kernel gets a list of memory blocks and a entry point from user space.
Its job is to copy the blocks into place and then branch to the designated
entry point (after turning "off" the mmu).

The user space tool inserts a trampoline, called purgatory, that runs
before the user supplied code.   Its job is to establish the entry
environment for the new kernel or other application based on the contents
of memory.  The purgatory code is compiled and embedded in the tool,
where it is later patched using the elf symbol table using elf symbols.

Since the tool knows it is creating a purgatory that will run after a
kernel crash, it should just patch purgatory (or the kernel directly)
if something needs to happen.

54622f10a6 powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel
This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can
use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234)
is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence
and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between
kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels.

The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in
head_64.S.  During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it
is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel
will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the
address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter.

CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump
kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and
kdump kernel.

This patch incorporates the changes suggested by Paul Mackerras to avoid
GOT use and to avoid two copies of the code.

Commit 9b09c6d909 ("powerpc: Change the
default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the
real-base value in the CHRP note added by addnote to the zImage from
12MB to 32MB.  It turns out that this causes unnecessary extra reboots
on old 32-bit CHRP machines.  This therefore adds a -r flag to addnote
to allow us to specify what real-base value it should put in the CHRP
note, and adjusts the wrapper script to pass -r c00000 to addnote when
making a zImage for a CHRP machine.  Also, CHRP machines ignore the
RPA note, so we don't need to arrange for it to be the same as the
kernel's.

ed7b2144bc powerpc: Find and destroy possible stale kernel added properties
64 bit powerpc requires the kexec user space tools avoid overwriting
the static kernel image and translation hash table when choosing
where to put memory image data because it copies the data into place
using the kernels virtual memory system.  Kexec userspace determines
these and other areas blocked by reading properties the kernel adds,
but does not filter these properties when creating the device tree
for the next kernel.

When the second kernel tries to add its values for these properties,
the export via /proc/device-tree is hidden by the pre-existing but
stale values from the flat tree.  Kexec userspace reads the old
property, allocates the new kernel at the old kernel's end, and
gets rejected by the overlap check.

Search and remove these stale properties before adding the new values.

a3ba68f969 powerpc: Fix build issue with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
There are two issues when we enable CONFIG_RELOCATABLE.  The first is due
to the fact that phys_addr_t is now defined in linux/types.h.  The second
is due to the fact that the DMA code changes expose memstart_addr to
prom_init.c

59fd6b8cc0 powerpc: Fix boot wrapper memcmp() called with zero length argument
I noticed, when trying to use, e.g.,
node = find_node_by_prop_value(prev, "booleanprop", "", 0))
to search for all nodes with a certain boolean property, that memcmp()
returns garbage when comparing zero bytes.  It should return zero.

e81703724a powerpc/numa: Make memory reserve code more robust
Adjust amount to reserve based on previous nodes for reserves spanning
multiple nodes. Check if the node active range is empty before attempting
to pass the reserve to bootmem.  In practice the range shouldn't be empty,
but to be sure we check.

a5598ca0d4 powerpc/oprofile: Fix mutex locking for cell spu-oprofile
The issue is the SPU code is not holding the kernel mutex lock while
adding samples to the kernel buffer.

This patch creates per SPU buffers to hold the data.  Data
is added to the buffers from in interrupt context.  The data
is periodically pushed to the kernel buffer via a new Oprofile
function oprofile_put_buff(). The oprofile_put_buff() function
is called via a work queue enabling the funtion to acquire the
mutex lock.

The existing user controls for adjusting the per CPU buffer
size is used to control the size of the per SPU buffers.
Similarly, overflows of the SPU buffers are reported by
incrementing the per CPU buffer stats.  This eliminates the
need to have architecture specific controls for the per SPU
buffers which is not acceptable to the OProfile user tool
maintainer.

The export of the oprofile add_event_entry() is removed as it
is no longer needed given this patch.

Note, this patch has not addressed the issue of indexing arrays
by the spu number.  This still needs to be fixed as the spu
numbering is not guarenteed to be 0 to max_num_spus-1.

c10c178a92 powerpc/boot: Compare _start against ei.loadsize instead ei.memsize
If the vmlinux binary in memory is larger than 4 MiB than it collides
with the initial boot code which is linked at 4 MiB in case of cuBoot.
If the the uncompressed image size (on disk size) is less than 4 MiB
then it would fit. The difference between those two sizes is the bss
section. In cuBoot we have the dtb embedded right after the data
section so it is very likely that the reset of the bss section (in
kernel's start up code) will overwrite the dtb blob. Therefore we
reallocate the dtb. Something similar is allready done to the initrd.
