16c57b3620 powerpc: Unify opcode definitions and support
Create a new header that becomes a single location for defining PowerPC
opcodes used by code that is either generationg instructions
at runtime (fixups, debug, etc.), emulating instructions, or just
compiling instructions old assemblers don't know about.

We currently don't handle the floating point emulation or alignment decode
as both are better handled by the specific decode support they already
have.

Added support for the new dcbzl, dcbal, msgsnd, tlbilx, & wait instructions
since older assemblers don't know about them.

70fe3af840 powerpc/book-3e: Introduce concept of Book-3e MMU
The Power ISA 2.06 spec introduces a standard MMU programming model that
is based on the Freescale Book-E MMU programing model.  The Freescale
version is pretty backwards compatiable with the ISA 2.06 definition so
we are starting to refactor some of the Freescale code so it can be
easily shared.

d66c82ea45 powerpc/fsl-booke: Add new ISA 2.06 page sizes and MAS defines
The Power ISA 2.06 added power of two page sizes to the embedded MMU
architecture.  Its done it such a way to be code compatiable with the
existing HW.  Made the minor code changes to support both power of two
and power of four page sizes.  Also added some new MAS bits and macros
that are defined as part of the 2.06 ISA.  Renamed some things to use
the 'Book-3e' concept to convey the new MMU that is based on the
Freescale Book-E MMU programming model.

Note, its still invalid to try and use a page size that isn't supported
by cpu.

8d30c14cab powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3)
This patch reworks the way we do I and D cache coherency on PowerPC.

The "old" way was split in 3 different parts depending on the processor type:

   - Hash with per-page exec support (64-bit and >= POWER4 only) does it
at hashing time, by preventing exec on unclean pages and cleaning pages
on exec faults.

   - Everything without per-page exec support (32-bit hash, 8xx, and
64-bit < POWER4) does it for all page going to user space in update_mmu_cache().

   - Embedded with per-page exec support does it from do_page_fault() on
exec faults, in a way similar to what the hash code does.

That leads to confusion, and bugs. For example, the method using update_mmu_cache()
is racy on SMP where another processor can see the new PTE and hash it in before
we have cleaned the cache, and then blow trying to execute. This is hard to hit but
I think it has bitten us in the past.

Also, it's inefficient for embedded where we always end up having to do at least
one more page fault.

This reworks the whole thing by moving the cache sync into two main call sites,
though we keep different behaviours depending on the HW capability. The call
sites are set_pte_at() which is now made out of line, and ptep_set_access_flags()
which joins the former in pgtable.c

The base idea for Embedded with per-page exec support, is that we now do the
flush at set_pte_at() time when coming from an exec fault, which allows us
to avoid the double fault problem completely (we can even improve the situation
more by implementing TLB preload in update_mmu_cache() but that's for later).

If for some reason we didn't do it there and we try to execute, we'll hit
the page fault, which will do a minor fault, which will hit ptep_set_access_flags()
to do things like update _PAGE_ACCESSED or _PAGE_DIRTY if needed, we just make
this guys also perform the I/D cache sync for exec faults now. This second path
is the catch all for things that weren't cleaned at set_pte_at() time.

For cpus without per-pag exec support, we always do the sync at set_pte_at(),
thus guaranteeing that when the PTE is visible to other processors, the cache
is clean.

For the 64-bit hash with per-page exec support case, we keep the old mechanism
for now. I'll look into changing it later, once I've reworked a bit how we
use _PAGE_EXEC.

This is also a first step for adding _PAGE_EXEC support for embedded platforms

105c31df6f powerpc/fsl-booke: Cleanup init/exception setup to be runtime
We currently have a few variants of fsl-booke processors (e500v1, e500v2,
e500mc, and e200).  They all have minor differences that we had previously
been handling via ifdefs.

To move towards having this support the following changes have been made:

* PID1, PID2 only exist on e500v1 & e500v2 and should not be accessed on
  e500mc or e200.  We use MMUCFG[NPIDS] to determine which case we are
  since we only touch PID1/2 in extremely early init code.

* Not all IVORs exist on all the processors so introduce cpu_setup
  functions for each variant to setup the proper IVORs that are either
  unique or exist but have some variations between the processors

This will avoid reoccuring spurious warnings in core kernel code that
comes when people test on their own hardware. (i.e. x86 in ~98% of the
cases) This is what x86 uses and it generally helps keep 64-bit code
32-bit clean too.

883823291d powerpc/oprofile: IBM CELL: add SPU event profiling support
This patch adds the SPU event based profiling funcitonality for the
IBM Cell processor.  Previously, the CELL OProfile kernel code supported
PPU event, PPU cycle profiling and SPU cycle profiling.   The addition of
SPU event profiling allows the users to identify where in their SPU code
various SPU evnets are occuring.  This should help users further identify
issues with their code.  Note, SPU profiling has some limitations due to HW
constraints.  Only one event at a time can be used for profiling and SPU event
profiling must be time sliced across all of the SPUs in a node.

The patch adds a new arch specific file to the OProfile file system. The
file has bit 0 set to indicate that the kernel supports SPU event profiling.
The user tool must check this file/bit to make sure the kernel supports
SPU event profiling before trying to do SPU event profiling.  The user tool
check is part of the user tool patch for SPU event profiling.

But ppc_save_regs() goes up one stack frame, so you'll not see it
anymore, at the top-level you'll see who actually triggered the crash
dump instead.

9150641dd1 cpumask: Introduce topology_core_cpumask()/topology_thread_cpumask(): powerpc
Impact: New API

The old topology_core_siblings() and topology_thread_siblings() return
a cpumask_t; these new ones return a (const) struct cpumask *.

73e75b416f KVM: ppc: Implement in-kernel exit timing statistics
Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for
KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace.
For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit
types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace
extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing
down the workloads we wanted to measure.

Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm
code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory.
As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a
.config entry and should be off by default.

Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now
merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still
working with exit timing disabled in .config).

c5fbdffbda KVM: ppc: save and restore guest mappings on context switch
Store shadow TLB entries in memory, but only use it on host context switch
(instead of every guest entry). This improves performance for most workloads on
440 by reducing the guest TLB miss rate.

7924bd4109 KVM: ppc: directly insert shadow mappings into the hardware TLB
Formerly, we used to maintain a per-vcpu shadow TLB and on every entry to the
guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of
memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also
required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry.

Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly
into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as
part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half
the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits,
at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some
guest entries.

These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which
implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the
need to walk arrays in software).

In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of
leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all
subsequent tasks to re-fault all their mappings.

c0ca609c5f powerpc/44x: declare tlb_44x_index for use in C code
KVM currently ignores the host's round robin TLB eviction selection, instead
maintaining its own TLB state and its own round robin index. However, by
participating in the normal 44x TLB selection, we can drop the alternate TLB
processing in KVM. This results in a significant performance improvement,
since that processing currently must be done on *every* guest exit.

Accordingly, KVM needs to be able to access and increment tlb_44x_index.
(KVM on 440 cannot be a module, so there is no need to export this symbol.)

891686188f KVM: ppc: support large host pages
KVM on 440 has always been able to handle large guest mappings with 4K host
pages -- we must, since the guest kernel uses 256MB mappings.

This patch makes KVM work when the host has large pages too (tested with 64K).

fe4e771d5c KVM: ppc: fix userspace mapping invalidation on context switch
We used to defer invalidating userspace TLB entries until jumping out of the
kernel. This was causing MMU weirdness most easily triggered by using a pipe in
the guest, e.g. "dmesg | tail". I believe the problem was that after the guest
kernel changed the PID (part of context switch), the old process's mappings
were still present, and so copy_to_user() on the "return to new process" path
ended up using stale mappings.

Testing with large pages (64K) exposed the problem, probably because with 4K
pages, pressure on the TLB faulted all process A's mappings out before the
guest kernel could insert any for process B.

d4cf3892e5 KVM: ppc: optimize irq delivery path
In kvmppc_deliver_interrupt is just one case left in the switch and it is a
rare one (less than 8%) when looking at the exit numbers. Therefore we can
at least drop the switch/case and if an if. I inserted an unlikely too, but
that's open for discussion.

In kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt all frequent cases are in the default case.
I know compilers are smart but we can make it easier for them. By writing
down all options and removing the default case combined with the fact that
ithe values are constants 0..15 should allow the compiler to write an easy
jump table.
Modifying kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt pointed me to the fact that gcc seems
to be unable to reduce priority_exception[x] to a build time constant.
Therefore I changed the usage of the translation arrays in the interrupt
delivery path completely. It is now using priority without translation to irq
on the full irq delivery path.
To be able to do that ivpr regs are stored by their priority now.

Additionally the decision made in kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt is already
sufficient to get the value of interrupt_msr_mask[x]. Therefore we can replace
the 16x4byte array used here with a single 4byte variable (might still be one
miss, but the chance to find this in cache should be better than the right
entry of the whole array).

75f74f0dbe KVM: ppc: refactor instruction emulation into generic and core-specific pieces
Cores provide 3 emulation hooks, implemented for example in the new
4xx_emulate.c:
kvmppc_core_emulate_op
kvmppc_core_emulate_mtspr
kvmppc_core_emulate_mfspr

Strictly speaking the last two aren't necessary, but provide for more
informative error reporting ("unknown SPR").

Long term I'd like to have instruction decoding autogenerated from tables of
opcodes, and that way we could aggregate universal, Book E, and core-specific
instructions more easily and without redundant switch statements.

However, this patch doesn't modify other in-kernel emulation code:
- xmon uses a direct copy of ppc_opc.c from binutils
- emulate_instruction() doesn't need it because it can use a series
