This patch adds support for stopping, and restarting, spus
from xmon. We use the spu master runcntl bit to stop execution,
this is apparently the "right" way to control spu execution and
spufs will be changed in the future to use this bit.
Testing has shown that to restart execution we have to turn the
master runcntl bit on and also rewrite the spu runcntl bit, even
if it is already set to 1 (running).
Stopping spus is triggered by the xmon command 'ss' - "spus stop"
perhaps. Restarting them is triggered via 'sr'. Restart doesn't
start execution on spus unless they were running prior to being
stopped by xmon.
Walking the spu->full_list in xmon after a panic, would mean
corruption of any spu struct would make all the others
inaccessible. To avoid this, and also to make the next patch
easier, we cache pointers to all spus during boot.
We attempt to catch and recover from errors while stopping and
restarting the spus, but as with most xmon functionality there are
no guarantees that performing these operations won't crash xmon
itself.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

Currently, if xmon has no input device (as is generally the case on
G5 powermacs), and we drop into xmon as a result of a fatal exception,
it will return 1, which die() interprets as "continue without causing
an oops". This fixes it by making xmon() return 0 in the case where
it has no input device.

My patch to make the early xmon logic work with earlier early param
parsing (480f6f35a1) breaks xmon=off.
No one does this obviously as xmon rocks, but it should really work
as documented.
While fixing that it struck me that we could move the xmon param
handling into xmon.c, and also consolidate the
xmon_init()/do_early_xmon logic into xmon_setup(). This means
xmon=early drops into xmon a little earlier on 32-bit, but it
seems to work just fine.
Tested on PSERIES and CLASSIC32.

xmon does not print a backtrace per default. This is bad on systems with
USB keyboard, the most needed info about the crash is lost.
print a backtrace during the very first xmon entry.

This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for
portable Apple computers. Backward compatibility is retained. A sysfs
interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than
before. Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different
monitors, similar to Mac OS X.

There's a bunch of code that compares an address with KERNELBASE to see if
it's a "kernel address", ie. >= KERNELBASE. The proper test is actually to
compare with PAGE_OFFSET, since we're going to change KERNELBASE soon.
So replace all of them with an is_kernel_addr() macro that does that.

The udbg low level io layer has an issue with udbg_getc() returning a
char (unsigned on ppc) instead of an int, thus the -1 if you had no
available input device could end up turned into 0xff, filling your
display with bogus characters. This fixes it, along with adding a little
blob to xmon to do a delay before exiting when getting an EOF and fixing
the detection of ADB keyboards in udbg_adb.c

When we created the instructions to read/write SPRs in xmon, we were
setting up a ppc64-style procedure descriptor and calling that, which
doesn't work in 32-bit. For 32-bit a function pointer just points
to the instructions of the function. This fixes it to do the right
thing for both 32-bit and 64-bit.

This factors out the common bits of arch/powerpc/xmon/start_*.c into
a new nonstdio.c, and removes some stuff that was supposed to make
xmon's I/O routines somewhat stdio-like but was never used.
It also makes the parsing of the xmon= command line option common,
so that ppc32 can now use xmon={off,on,early} also.

The merged version follows the ppc64 version pretty closely mostly,
and in fact ARCH=ppc64 now uses the arch/powerpc/xmon version.
The main difference for ppc64 is that the 'p' command to call
show_state (which was always pretty dodgy) has been replaced by
the ppc32 'p' command, which calls a given procedure (so in fact
the old 'p' command behaviour can be achieved with 'p $show_state').
