Time time taken for a single cpu online operation on a pseries machine
is as follows:
Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): ~220ms.
Shared LPAR (POWER5) : ~240ms.
Of this time, approximately 200ms is taken up by __cpu_up(). This is because
we poll every 200ms to check if the new cpu has notified it's presence
through the cpu_callin_map. We repeat this operation until the new cpu sets
the value in cpu_callin_map or 5 seconds elapse, whichever comes earlier.
However, using completion_structs instead of polling loops,
the time taken by the new processor to indicate it's presence has
found to be less than 1ms on pseries. This method however may not
work on all powerpc platforms due to the time-base synchronization code.
Keeping this in mind, we could reduce msleep polling interval from
200ms to 1ms while retaining the 5 second timeout.
With this, the time taken for a cpu online operation changes as follows:
Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): 20-25ms.
Shared LPAR (POWER5) : 60-80ms.
In both these cases, it was found that the code polls through the loop
only once indicating that 1ms is a reasonable value, atleast on pseries.
The code needs testing on other powerpc platforms.

The ptrace POKETEXT interface allows a process to modify the text pages of
a child process being ptraced, usually to insert breakpoints via trap
instructions. The kernel eventually calls copy_to_user_page, which in turn
calls __flush_icache_range to invalidate the icache lines for the child
process.
However, this function does not work on 44x due to the icache being virtually
indexed. This was noticed by a breakpoint being triggered after it had been
cleared by ltrace on a 440EPx board. The convenient solution is to do a
flash invalidate of the icache in the __flush_icache_range function.

This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute
permission on powerpc. _PAGE_HWEXEC is gone, _PAGE_EXEC is now only
defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of
#ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that
hopefully should cover everything.
The logic on BookE is a little bit different than what it was though
not by much. Since now, _PAGE_EXEC will be set by the generic code
for executable pages, we need to filter out if they are unclean and
recover it. However, I don't expect the code to be more bloated than
it already was in that area due to that change.
I could boast that this brings proper enforcing of per-page execute
permissions to all BookE and 40x but in fact, we've had that now for
some time as a side effect of my previous rework in that area (and
I didn't even know it :-) We would only enable execute permission if
the page was cache clean and we would only cache clean it if we took
and exec fault. Since we now enforce that the later only work if
VM_EXEC is part of the VMA flags, we de-fact already enforce per-page
execute permissions... Unless I missed something

The STAB code used on Power3 and RS/64 uses a second scratch SPRG to
save a GPR in order to decide whether to go to do_stab_bolted_* or
to handle a normal data access exception.
This prevents our scheme of freeing SPRG3 which is user visible for
user uses since we cannot use SPRG0 which, on RS/64, seems to be
read-only for supervisor mode (like POWER4).

The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in

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.

This adds support for tracing callchains for powerpc, both 32-bit
and 64-bit, and both in the kernel and userspace, from PMU interrupt
context.
The first three entries stored for each callchain are the NIP (next
instruction pointer), LR (link register), and the contents of the LR
save area in the second stack frame (the first is ignored because the
ABI convention on powerpc is that functions save their return address
in their caller's stack frame). Because leaf functions don't have to
save their return address (LR value) and don't have to establish a
stack frame, it's possible for either or both of LR and the second
stack frame's LR save area to have valid return addresses in them.
This is basically impossible to disambiguate without either reading
the code or looking at auxiliary information such as CFI tables.
Since we don't want to do either of those things at interrupt time,
we store both LR and the second stack frame's LR save area.
Once we get past the second stack frame, there is no ambiguity; all
return addresses we get are reliable.
For kernel traces, we check whether they are valid kernel instruction
addresses and store zero instead if they are not (rather than
omitting them, which would make it impossible for userspace to know
which was which). We also store zero instead of the second stack
frame's LR save area value if it is the same as LR.
For kernel traces, we check for interrupt frames, and for user traces,
we check for signal frames. In each case, since we're starting a new
trace, we store a PERF_CONTEXT_KERNEL/USER marker so that userspace
knows that the next three entries are NIP, LR and the second stack frame
for the interrupted context.
We read user memory with __get_user_inatomic. On 64-bit, if this
PMU interrupt occurred while interrupts are soft-disabled, and
there is no MMU hash table entry for the page, we will get an
-EFAULT return from __get_user_inatomic even if there is a valid
Linux PTE for the page, since hash_page isn't reentrant. Thus we
have code here to read the Linux PTE and access the page via the
kernel linear mapping. Since 64-bit doesn't use (or need) highmem
there is no need to do kmap_atomic. On 32-bit, we don't do soft
interrupt disabling, so this complication doesn't occur and there
is no need to fall back to reading the Linux PTE, since hash_page
(or the TLB miss handler) will get called automatically if necessary.
Note that we cannot get PMU interrupts in the interval during
context switch between switch_mm (which switches the user address
space) and switch_to (which actually changes current to the new
process). On 64-bit this is because interrupts are hard-disabled
in switch_mm and stay hard-disabled until they are soft-enabled
later, after switch_to has returned. So there is no possibility
of trying to do a user stack trace when the user address space is
not current's address space.

This provides a mechanism to allow the perf_counters code to access
user memory in a PMU interrupt routine. Such an access can cause
various kinds of interrupt: SLB miss, MMU hash table miss, segment
table miss, or TLB miss, depending on the processor. This commit
only deals with 64-bit classic/server processors, which use an MMU
hash table. 32-bit processors are already able to access user memory
at interrupt time. Since we don't soft-disable on 32-bit, we avoid
the possibility of reentering hash_page or the TLB miss handlers,
since they run with interrupts disabled.
On 64-bit processors, an SLB miss interrupt on a user address will
update the slb_cache and slb_cache_ptr fields in the paca. This is
OK except in the case where a PMU interrupt occurs in switch_slb,
which also accesses those fields. To prevent this, we hard-disable
interrupts in switch_slb. Interrupts are already soft-disabled at
this point, and will get hard-enabled when they get soft-enabled
later.
This also reworks slb_flush_and_rebolt: to avoid hard-disabling twice,
and to make sure that it clears the slb_cache_ptr when called from
other callers than switch_slb, the existing routine is renamed to
__slb_flush_and_rebolt, which is called by switch_slb and the new
version of slb_flush_and_rebolt.
Similarly, switch_stab (used on POWER3 and RS64 processors) gets a
hard_irq_disable() to protect the per-cpu variables used there and
in ste_allocate.
If a MMU hashtable miss interrupt occurs, normally we would call
hash_page to look up the Linux PTE for the address and create a HPTE.
However, hash_page is fairly complex and takes some locks, so to
avoid the possibility of deadlock, we check the preemption count
to see if we are in a (pseudo-)NMI handler, and if so, we don't call
hash_page but instead treat it like a bad access that will get
reported up through the exception table mechanism. An interrupt
whose handler runs even though the interrupt occurred when
soft-disabled (such as the PMU interrupt) is considered a pseudo-NMI
handler, which should use nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() rather than
irq_enter()/irq_exit().

Several platforms use their own copy of what is essentially the same code,
using RTAS to synchronize the timebases when bringing up new CPUs. This
moves it all into a single common implementation and additionally
turns the spinlock into a raw spinlock since the former can rely on
the timebase not being frozen when spinlock debugging is enabled, and finally
masks interrupts while the timebase is disabled.

RTAS currently uses a normal spinlock. However it can be called from
contexts where this is not necessarily a good idea. For example, it
can be called while syncing timebases, with the core timebase being
frozen. Unfortunately, that will deadlock in case of lock contention
when spinlock debugging is enabled as the spin lock debugging code
will try to use __delay() which ... relies on the timebase being
enabled.
Also RTAS can be used in some low level IRQ handling code path so it
may as well be a raw spinlock for -rt sake.

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).

The 32-bit kernel relies on some memory being mapped covering
the kernel text,data and bss at least, early during boot before
the full MMU setup is done. On 32-bit "classic" processors, this
is done using BAT registers.
On 601, the size of BATs is limited to 8M and we use 2 of them
for that initial mapping. This can become quite tight when enabling
features like lockdep, so let's use a 3rd one to bump that mapping
from 16M to 24M. We keep the 4th BAT free as it can be useful for
debugging early boot code to map things like serial ports.

For some reason we've had an explicit KERN_INFO for GPR dumps. With
recent changes we get output like:
<6>GPR00: 00000000 ef855eb0 ef858000 00000001 000000d0 f1000000 ffbc8000 ffffffff
The KERN_INFO is causing the <6>. Don't see any reason to keep it
around.

The old PowerSurge SMP (ie, dual or quad 604 machines) code has
numerous issues in modern world.
One is cpu_possible_map is set too late (the device-tree is bogus)
so we fail to allocate the interrupt stacks and crash. Another
problem is the fact the timebase is frozen by the bringup of the
second CPU so the delays in the generic code will hang, we need
to move some of the calling procedure to inside the powermac code.
This makes it boot again for me
