235c7b9feb Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull main powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "This time around, the powerpc merges are going to be a little bit more
  complicated than usual.

  This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge
  window.  I will describe it a bit more further down.

  There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't
  included it in this tree as it depends on some work in tip/timer-core
  which Thomas accidentally forgot to put in a topic branch.  Since I
  didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I
  setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle
  driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately
  for a while now.  I'll send a separate pull request for it.

  Additionally, two new pieces in this tree add users for a sysfs API
  that Tejun and Greg have been deprecating in drivers-core-next.
  Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this
  merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch
  adjusting our new code to the new API so that Greg can send you the
  removal patch.

  Now as for the content of this branch, we have a lot of perf work for
  power8 new counters including support for our new "nest" counters
  (also called 24x7) under pHyp (not natively yet).

  We have new functionality when running under the OPAL firmware
  (non-virtualized or KVM host), such as access to the firmware error
  logs and service processor dumps, system parameters and sensors, along
  with a hwmon driver for the latter.

  There's also a bunch of bug fixes accross the board, some LE fixes,
  and a nice set of selftests for validating our various types of copy
  loops.

  On the Freescale side, we see mostly new chip/board revisions, some
  clock updates, better support for machine checks and debug exceptions,
  etc..."

This commit uses the standard software ploy of introducing another

5395467103 rcutorture: Do better bin packing
Running the standard set of rcutorture tests on 24 CPUs results in
the following sub-optimal schedule:

	----start batch----
	 TREE07 16
	----start batch----
	 TREE08 16
	 SRCU-P 8
	----start batch----
	 TREE01 8
	 TREE02 8
	 TREE03 8
	----start batch----
	 TREE04 8
	 TREE05 8
	 TREE06 8
	----start batch----
	 SRCU-N 4
	 TINY01 1
	 TINY02 1
	 TREE09 1

If one of the eight-CPU runs were to be moved into the first batch,
the test suite would complete in four batches rather than five.

This commit therefore uses a greedy algorithm to re-order the test
entries so that the sequential batching will produce an optimal schedule
in this case:

	----start batch----
	 TREE07 16
	 SRCU-P 8
	----start batch----
	 TREE08 16
	 TREE01 8
	----start batch----
	 TREE02 8
	 TREE03 8
	 TREE04 8
	----start batch----
	 TREE05 8
	 TREE06 8
	 SRCU-N 4
	 TINY01 1
	 TINY02 1
	 TREE09 1

Please note that this is still not an optimal bin-packing algorithm,
however, it does produce optimal solutions for most common scenarios.

43e38ab3d5 rcutorture: Enable concurrent rcutorture runs
The rcutorture tests run by default range from using one CPU to using
sixteen of them.  Therefore, rcutorture testing could be sped up
significantly simply by running the kernels in parallel.  Building
them in parallel is not all that helpful: "make -j" is usually a
better bet.  So this commit takes a new "--cpus" argument that
specifies how many CPUs rcutorture is permitted to use for its
parallel runs.  The default of zero does sequential runs as before.

The bin-packing is minimal, and will be grossly suboptimal for
some configurations.  However, powers of two work reasonably well.

bad804406a rcutorture: Allow kvm-test-1-rcu.sh to pause after build
Parallel rcutorture runs is valuable on large systems, but it is not a
good idea to do (say) five builds in parallel if each build believes it
has the whole system at its disposal, especially if the system is shared.
It is also bad to restrict the build to (say) a single CPU just because
the corresponding rcutorture run uses only a single CPU.  This commit
therefore adds a kvm-test-1-rcu.sh ability to pause after the build
completes, which will allow kvm.sh to do a number of builds serially
(with each build thus having the full system at its disposal), then
allow the rcutorture runs to proceed in parallel.

To help avoid an architecture failing to correctly check kernel/user

behave unexpectedly.

Specifically, this is to make sure there is a way to notice if things
like what was fixed in commit 8404663f81 ("ARM: 7527/1: uaccess:
explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS") ever regresses
again, for any architecture.

Additionally, adds new "user" selftest target, which loads this module.

961d9cacee ktest: Add BISECT_TRIES to bisect test
For those cases that it takes several tries to hit a bug, it would be
useful for ktest.pl to try a test multiple times before it considers
the test as a pass. To accomplish this, BISECT_TRIES ktest config
option has been added. It is default to one, as most of the time a
bisect only needs to try a test once. But the user can now up this
to make ktest run a given test multiple times. The first failure
that is detected will set a bisect bad. It only repeats on success.

Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if it succeeds,
it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case the bug is somewhat
reliable.

You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered
good, unless you also set BISECT_MANUAL.

c75d22d9c6 ktest: Add eval '=~' command to modify variables in config file
With the added variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}, it is useful to be
able to use parts of it for other variables.

For example, if you want to create a warnings file for each major
kernel version to test sub versions against you can create
your warnings file with like this:

  WARNINGS_FILE = warnings-file-${KERNEL_VERSION}

But this may add 3.8.12 or something, and we want all 3.8.* to
use the same file, and 3.10.* to use another file, and so on.
With the eval command we can, by adding:

  WARNINGS_FILE =~ s/(-file-\d+\.\d+).*/$1/

Which will chop off the extra characters after the 3.8.

8e80bf05ff ktest: Add special variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}
Add a special variable that can be used in other variables called
${KERNEL_VERSION}. This will embed the current kernel version into
the variable. For example:

WARNINGS_FILE = ${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-${KERNEL_VERSION}

If the current version is v3.8 then the WARNINGS_FILE will become

  ${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-v3.8

0e342a87d5 rcutorture: Stop tracking FSF's postal address
All of the rcutorture scripts has the usual GPL header, which contains
a long-obsolete postal address for FSF.  To avoid the need to track the
FSF office's movements, this commit substitutes the URL where GPL may
be found.

6d40cc0cb4 rcutorture: Flag errors and warnings with color coding
The output of the rcutorture scripts often requires interpretation, so
this commit simplifies this interpretation by tagging messages as
BUGs (colored red) or WARNINGs (colored yellow).

f43f8f7351 rcutorture: Record results from repeated runs of the same test scenario
Repeatedly running a given test, for example, by repeating the name
as in "--configs "TREE08 TREE08 TREE08" records the results only of
the last run of this test.  This is because the earlier results are
overwritten by the later results.

This commit therefore checks for earlier results, using numbered
file extensions to distinguish multiple runs.  The earlier example
would therefore create directories TREE01, TREE01.2, and TREE01.3.

0ef42bbe54 rcutorture: Add tracing-enabled version of TREE08
The TREE08 Kconfig fragment does not enable tracing, which is appropriate
for its test case.  However, this can be inconvenient in cases where
TREE08 locates RCU bugs.  This commit therefore adds a TREE08-T that
differs from TREE08 only in enabling CONFIG_RCU_TRACE.

This commit adds the --no-initrd argument to kvm.sh, which permits
initrd to be contained in a root partition specified by the --bootargs
argument.  Without --no-initrd, the kernel build expects an initrd
directory in the same rcutorture directory that contains bin and configs.
