06ca2188ec powerpc/ppc32/tracing: Add stack frame to calls of trace_hardirqs_on/off
32-bit variant of the previous patch for 64-bit:

<<
    When an interrupt occurs in userspace, we can call trace_hardirqs_on/off()
    With one level stack. But if we have irqsoff tracing enabled,
    it checks both CALLER_ADDR0 and CALLER_ADDR1. The second call
    goes two stack frames up. If this is from user space, then there may
    not exist a second stack....

e7f75ad01d powerpc/47x: Base ppc476 support
This patch adds the base support for the 476 processor.  The code was
primarily written by Ben Herrenschmidt and Torez Smith, but I've been
maintaining it for a while.

The goal is to have a single binary that will run on 44x and 47x, but
we still have some details to work out.  The biggest is that the L1 cache
line size differs on the two platforms, but it's currently a compile-time
option.

ee43eb788b powerpc: Use names rather than numbers for SPRGs (v2)
The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in
low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu
global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer.

We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers
as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some
of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc..
and the current choice isn't always the best.

This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the
usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement
and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to
what those are used for on each processor family.

The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM
or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all
the SPRGs.

5d38902c48 powerpc: Add irqtrace support for 32-bit powerpc
Based on initial work from: Dale Farnsworth <dale@farnsworth.org>

Add the low level irq tracing hooks for 32-bit powerpc needed
to enable full lockdep functionality.

The approach taken to deal with the code in entry_32.S is that
we don't trace all the transitions of MSR:EE when we just turn
it off to peek at TI_FLAGS without races. Only when we are
calling into C code or returning from exceptions with a state
that have changed from what lockdep thinks.

There's a little bugger though: If we take an exception that
keeps interrupts enabled (such as an alignment exception) while
interrupts are enabled, we will call trace_hardirqs_on() on the
way back spurriously. Not a big deal, but to get rid of it would
require remembering in pt_regs that the exception was one of the
type that kept interrupts enabled which we don't know at this
stage. (Well, we could test all cases for regs->trap but that
sucks too much).

c7b0d17366 powerpc: ftrace, do nothing in mcount call for dyn ftrace
Impact: quicken mcount calls that are not replaced by dyn ftrace

Dynamic ftrace no longer does on the fly recording of mcount locations.
The mcount locations are now found at compile time. The mcount
function no longer needs to store registers and call a stub function.
It can now just simply return.

Since there are some functions that do not get converted to a nop
(.init sections and other code that may disappear), this patch should
help speed up that code.

Also, the stub for mcount on PowerPC 32 can not be a simple branch
link register like it is on PowerPC 64. According to the ABI specification:

"The _mcount routine is required to restore the link register from
 the stack so that the profiling code can be inserted transparently,
 whether or not the profiled function saves the link register itself."

This means that we must restore the link register that was used
to make the call to mcount.  The minimal mcount function for PPC32
ends up being:

 mcount:
        mflr    r0
        mtctr   r0
        lwz     r0, 4(r1)
        mtlr    r0
        bctr

Where we move the link register used to call mcount into the
ctr register, and then restore the link register from the stack.
Then we use the ctr register to jump back to the mcount caller.
The r0 register is free for us to use.

fca622c5b2 [POWERPC] 40x/Book-E: Save/restore volatile exception registers
On machines with more than one exception level any system register that
might be modified by the "normal" exception level needs to be saved and
restored on taking a higher level exception.  We already are saving
and restoring ESR and DEAR.

For critical level add SRR0/1.
For debug level add CSRR0/1 and SRR0/1.
For machine check level add DSRR0/1, CSRR0/1, and SRR0/1.

On FSL Book-E parts we always save/restore the MAS registers for critical,
debug, and machine check level exceptions.  On 44x we always save/restore
the MMUCR.

Additionally, we save and restore the ksp_limit since we have to adjust it
for each exception level.

a560643e21 [POWERPC] Defer processing of interrupts when the CPU wakes from sleep mode
This provides a way to defer processing of an interrupt that wakes the
processor out of sleep mode.  On 32-bit platforms that use an
interrupt to wake the processor, we have to have interrupts enabled in
hardware at the point where we go to sleep, otherwise the processor
will never wake up.  However, because interrupts are logically
disabled at this point, we don't want to process the interrupt
straight away.

This is handled by setting the _TLF_SLEEPING flag.  When we get an
interrupt and _TLF_SLEEPING is set, we firstly clear the MSR_EE
(external interrupt enable) bit in the saved MSR value, and secondly
we then return to the address in the link register, like we do for
_TLF_NAPPING, but without actually handling the interrupt.

Note that this is handled somewhat differently on powerbooks, so this
new code will only be used on non-Apple machines.

b64f87c16f [POWERPC] Avoid unpaired stwcx. on some processors
The context switch code in the kernel issues a dummy stwcx. to clear the
reservation, as recommended by the architecture.  However, some processors
can have issues if this stwcx to address A occurs while the reservation
is already held to a different address B.  To avoid this problem, the dummy
stwcx. needs to be paired with a dummy lwarx to the same address.

This adds the dummy lwarx, and creates a cpu feature bit to indicate
which cpus are affected.  Tested on mpc8641_hpcn_defconfig in

b98ac05d5e [POWERPC] 4xx: Deal with 44x virtually tagged icache
The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually
tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with
it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't
report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches
in their distro...

This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by
setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously
marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon
return to user space when that happens.

This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained
flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very
strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires
a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which
isn't something I want to deal with.

f39224a8c1 powerpc: Use correct sequence for putting CPU into nap mode
We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into
nap mode.  When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus
started hanging when we put them into nap mode.  Changing to the
recommended sequence fixes that.

The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that
keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode.  Clearly we need some way
to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt,
decrementer, performance monitor) occurs.  Here we use a bit in
the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception
entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return
to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop.
We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can
alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence.

The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing
there too.

This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on
32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to
get trashed.

1bd79336a4 powerpc: Fix various syscall/signal/swapcontext bugs
A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
simplified and improved:

* 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
  path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
  bit being set.  In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
  the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
  which is not necessarily the current system call.

* 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
  path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.

* _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
  _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
  by system calls.  I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.

* On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
  to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
  was traced or single-stepped).  Thus the non-volatile registers
  weren't restored on exit from a signal handler.  We probably got
  away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
  alter the non-volatile registers.

* On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
  making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
  preemption and signal delivery.

* 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
  set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
  non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.

* I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
  non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
  enable interrupts first.

e58c3495e6 [PATCH] powerpc: Cleanup LOADADDR etc. asm macros
This patch consolidates the variety of macros used for loading 32 or
64-bit constants in assembler (LOADADDR, LOADBASE, SET_REG_TO_*).  The
idea is to make the set of macros consistent across 32 and 64 bit and
to make it more obvious which is the appropriate one to use in a given
situation.  The new macros and their semantics are described in the
comments in ppc_asm.h.

In the process, we change several places that were unnecessarily using
immediate loads on ppc64 to use the GOT/TOC.  Likewise we cleanup a
couple of places where we were clumsily subtracting PAGE_OFFSET with
asm instructions to use assemble-time arithmetic or the toreal() macro
instead.

Oh, and if we actually set the flag, then we fairly quickly find out
that I was a bit overzealous in copying code from entry_64.S ... :)

401d1f029b [PATCH] syscall entry/exit revamp
This cleanup patch speeds up the null syscall path on ppc64 by about 3%,
and brings the ppc32 and ppc64 code slightly closer together.

The ppc64 code was checking current_thread_info()->flags twice in the
syscall exit path; once for TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A before disabling
interrupts, and then again for TIF_SIGPENDING|TIF_NEED_RESCHED etc after
disabling interrupts. Now we do the same as ppc32 -- check the flags
only once in the fast path, and re-enable interrupts if necessary in the
ptrace case.

The patch abolishes the 'syscall_noerror' member of struct thread_info
and replaces it with a TIF_NOERROR bit in the flags, which is handled in
the slow path. This shortens the syscall entry code, which no longer
needs to clear syscall_noerror.

The patch adds a TIF_SAVE_NVGPRS flag which causes the syscall exit slow
path to save the non-volatile GPRs into a signal frame. This removes the
need for the assembly wrappers around sys_sigsuspend(),
sys_rt_sigsuspend(), et al which existed solely to save those registers
in advance. It also means I don't have to add new wrappers for ppoll()
and pselect(), which is what I was supposed to be doing when I got
distracted into this...

Finally, it unifies the ppc64 and ppc32 methods of handling syscall exit
directly into a signal handler (as required by sigsuspend et al) by
introducing a TIF_RESTOREALL flag which causes _all_ the registers to be
reloaded from the pt_regs by taking the ret_from_exception path, instead
of the normal syscall exit path which stomps on the callee-saved GPRs.

It appears to pass an LTP test run on ppc64, and passes basic testing on
ppc32 too. Brief tests of ptrace functionality with strace and gdb also
appear OK. I wouldn't send it to Linus for 2.6.15 just yet though :)

033ef338b6 powerpc: Merge rtas.c into arch/powerpc/kernel
This splits arch/ppc64/kernel/rtas.c into arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c,
which contains generic RTAS functions useful on any CHRP platform,
and arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/rtas-fw.[ch], which contain
some pSeries-specific firmware flashing bits.  The parts of rtas.c
that are to do with pSeries-specific error logging are protected
by a new CONFIG_RTAS_ERROR_LOGGING symbol.  The inclusion of rtas.o
is controlled by the CONFIG_PPC_RTAS symbol, and the relevant
platforms select that.

6cb7bfebb1 [PATCH] powerpc: Merge thread_info.h
Merge ppc32 and ppc64 versions of thread_info.h.  They were pretty
similar already, the chief changes are:

	- Instead of inline asm to implement current_thread_info(),
which needs to be different for ppc32 and ppc64, we use C with an
asm("r1") register variable.  gcc turns it into the same asm as we
used to have for both platforms.
	- We replace ppc32's 'local_flags' with the ppc64
'syscall_noerror' field.  The noerror flag was in fact the only thing
in the local_flags field anyway, so the ppc64 approach is simpler, and
means we only need a load-immediate/store instead of load/mask/store
when clearing the flag.
	- In readiness for 64k pages, when THREAD_SIZE will be less
than a page, ppc64 used kmalloc() rather than get_free_pages() to
allocate the kernel stack.  With this patch we do the same for ppc32,
since there's no strong reason not to.
	- For ppc64, we no longer export THREAD_SHIFT and THREAD_SIZE
via asm-offsets, thread_info.h can now be safely included in asm, as
on ppc32.

Built and booted on G4 Powerbook (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and
Power5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc).

9994a33865 powerpc: Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S
The system call table has been consolidated into systbl.S.  We have
separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions of entry.S and misc.S since the
code is mostly sufficiently different to be not worth merging.
There are some common bits that will be extracted in future.
