2c3e47871d powerpc/spufs: only add ".ctx" file with "debug" mount option
Currently, the .ctx debug file in spu context directories is always
present.

We'd prefer to prevent users from relying on this file, so add a
"debug" mount option to spufs. The .ctx file will only be added to
the context directories when this option is present.

23d893f51c powerpc/spufs: allow spufs files to specify sizes
Currently, spufs never specifies the i_size for the files in context
directories, so stat() always reports 0-byte files.

This change adds allows the spufs_dir_(nosched_)contents arrays to
specify a file size. This allows stat() to report correct file sizes,
and makes SEEK_END work.

2442a8ba5a powerpc/spufs: don't extend time time slice if context is not in spu_run
An spu context shouldn't get an extra tick if the time slice code
couldn't find something else to run. This means contexts that are not

46deed69b3 powerpc/spufs: provide context debug file
Add a ctxt file to spufs that shows spu context information that is used
in scheduling. This info can be used for debugging spufs scheduler
issues, and to isolate between application and spufs problems as it
shows a lot of state such as priorities and dispatch counts.

This file contains internal spufs state and is subject to change at any
time, and therefore no applications should depend on it.  The file is
intended for the use of spufs kernel developers.

0db9360aaa powerpc/pseries: Update numa association of hotplug memory add for drconf memory
Update the association of a memory section with a numa node that
occurs during hotplug add of a memory section.  This adds a check in
the hot_add_scn_to_nid() routine for the
ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node in the device tree.  If
present the new hot_add_drconf_scn_to_nid() routine is invoked, which
can properly parse the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node of the
device tree and make the proper numa node associations.

This also introduces the valid_hot_add_scn() routine as a helper
function for code that is common to the hot_add_scn_to_nid() and
hot_add_drconf_scn_to_nid() routines.

3c3f67eafa powerpc/pseries: Update the device tree correctly for drconf memory add/remove
This updates the device tree manipulation routines so that memory
add/remove of lmbs represented under the
ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node of the device tree invokes the
hotplug notifier chain.

This change is needed because of the change in the way memory is
represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node.  All lmbs
are described in the ibm,dynamic-memory property instead of having a
separate node for each lmb as in previous device tree layouts.  This
requires the update_node() routine to check for updates to the
ibm,dynamic-memory property and invoke the hotplug notifier chain.

This also updates the pseries hotplug notifier to be able to gather information
for lmbs represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node and
have the lmbs added/removed.

92ecd1790b powerpc/pseries: Use base address to derive starting page frame number
Use the base address of the lmb to derive the starting page frame number
instead of trying to extract it from the drc index of the lmb.  The drc
index should not be used for this as it will, and did, break.

Until this point, systems that have had memory represented in the device
tree with a node for each lmb the drc index would (luckily) closely
track the base address of the lmb.  For example a lmb with a drc index
of 8000000a would have a base address of a0000000.  This correlation
allowed the current code to derive the starting page frame number from
the drc inddex

Device tree layouts where lmbs are represented under the
ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node in the ibm,dynamic-memory
property do not have this correlation between the drc index and base
address of the lmb.

This is an issue on systems where the value of

2d1b202762 powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtime
To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync
at runtime.  On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up
the code.  We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu
is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'.

We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is
needed.  This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it
for the normal CPU_FTR purpose.

Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it
as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.

03d70617b8 powerpc: Prevent memory corruption due to cache invalidation of unaligned DMA buffer
On PowerPC processors with non-coherent cache architectures the DMA
subsystem calls invalidate_dcache_range() before performing a DMA read
operation.  If the address and length of the DMA buffer are not aligned
to a cache-line boundary this can result in memory outside of the DMA
buffer being invalidated in the cache.  If this memory has an
uncommitted store then the data will be lost and a subsequent read of
that address will result in an old value being returned from main memory.

Only when the DMA buffer starts on a cache-line boundary and is an exact
mutiple of the cache-line size can invalidate_dcache_range() be called,
otherwise flush_dcache_range() must be called.  flush_dcache_range()
will first flush uncommitted writes, and then invalidate the cache.

ce48b21007 powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support
This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available.  This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.

Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.

The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers.  Backward
compatibility is maintained.

The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.

VSX has 64 128bit registers.  The first 32 regs overlap with the FP
registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits.  The
second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers.

this register layout.  Ptrace and signals code is updated so that the
floating point registers are correctly accessed from the thread_struct
when CONFIG_VSX is enabled.

fac23fe4be powerpc: Introduce infrastructure for feature sections with alternatives
The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means
if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both
cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg:

BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	1,1,1
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO)
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	2,2,2
END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO)

and the resulting code will be either,

	or	1,1,1
	nop

or,
	nop
	or	2,2,2

For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in
performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops.
This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following:

BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	1,1,1
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
	or	2,2,2
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO)

and the resulting code will be:

	or	1,1,1
or,
	or	2,2,2

We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature
section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty
we nop out the default case.

The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or
equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the
remainder of the section is nop'ed.

We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text,
so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link,
this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases.

This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but
does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.

We also need to update two hand-made section entries in reg.h and timex.h

51c52e8669 powerpc: Split out do_feature_fixups() from cputable.c
The logic to patch CPU feature sections lives in cputable.c, but these days
it's used for CPU features as well as firmware features.  Move it into
it's own file for neatness and as preparation for some additions.

While we're moving the code, we pull the loop body logic into a separate
routine, and remove a comment which doesn't apply anymore.

053a858efa powerpc: Make create_branch() return errors if the branch target is too large
If you pass a target value to create_branch() which is more than 32MB - 4,
or - 32MB away from the branch site, then it's impossible to create an
immediate branch.  The current code doesn't check, which will lead to us
creating a branch to somewhere else - which is bad.

For code that cares to check we return 0, which is easy to check for, and
for code that doesn't at least we'll be creating an illegal instruction,
rather than a branch to some random address.

e7a57273c6 powerpc: Allow create_branch() to return errors
Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and
patches it into the call site.  In some circumstances it would be nice
to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some
code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before
doing the patching.  A future commit will change create_branch() to
check for errors.

For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with
patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly.

While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *,
as this seems to match usage better.  That allows (and requires) us to
remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and
mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as
an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change
across the patch_branch() call.

aaddd3eaca powerpc: Move code patching code into arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c
We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because
they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add
some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to
be inlined.

While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended
caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something
different.

3a8247cc2c powerpc: Only demote individual slices rather than whole process
At present, if we have a kernel with a 64kB page size, and some
process maps something that has to be mapped with 4kB pages (such as a
cache-inhibited mapping on POWER5+, or the eHCA infiniband queue-pair
pages), we change the process to use 4kB pages everywhere.  This hurts
the performance of HPC programs that access eHCA from userspace.

With this patch, the kernel will only demote the slice(s) containing
the eHCA or cache-inhibited mappings, leaving the remaining slices
able to use 64kB hardware pages.

This also changes the slice_get_unmapped_area code so that it is
willing to place a 64k-page mapping into (or across) a 4k-page slice
if there is no better alternative, i.e. if the program specified
MAP_FIXED or if there is not sufficient space available in slices that
are either empty or already have 64k-page mappings in them.
