This patch allows the kernel to recognized that it was loaded at zero
and the copy down of the image is unnecessary. This is useful for
Simulators and kexec models.
On a typical 3.8 MiB vmlinux.strip this saves about 2.3 million instructions.

With this patch, kdump uses the firmware soft-reset NMI for two purposes:
1) Initiate the kdump (take a crash dump) by issuing a soft-reset.
2) Break a CPU out of a deadlock condition that is detected during kdump
processing.
When a soft-reset is initiated each CPU will enter
system_reset_exception() and set its corresponding bit in the global
bit-array cpus_in_sr then call die(). When die() finds the CPU's bit set
in cpu_in_sr crash_kexec() is called to initiate a crash dump. The first
CPU to enter crash_kexec() is called the "crashing CPU". All other CPUs
are "secondary CPUs". The secondary CPU's pass through to
crash_kexec_secondary() and sleep. The crashing CPU waits for all CPUs
to enter via soft-reset then boots the kdump kernel (see
crash_soft_reset_check())
When the system crashes due to a panic or exception, crash_kexec() is
called by panic() or die(). The crashing CPU sends an IPI to all other
CPUs to notify them of the pending shutdown. If a CPU is in a deadlock
or hung state with interrupts disabled, the IPI will not be delivered.
The result being, that the kdump kernel is not booted. This problem is
solved with the use of a firmware generated soft-reset. After the
crashing_cpu has issued the IPI, it waits for 10 sec for all CPUs to
enter crash_ipi_callback(). A CPU signifies its entry to
crash_ipi_callback() by setting its corresponding bit in the
cpus_in_crash bit array. After 10 sec, if one or more CPUs have not set
their bit in cpus_in_crash we assume that the CPU(s) is deadlocked. The
operator is then prompted to generate a soft-reset to break the
deadlock. Each CPU enters the soft reset handler as described above.
Two conditions must be handled at this point:
1) The system crashed because the operator generated a soft-reset. See
2) The system had crashed before the soft-reset was generated ( in the
case of a Panic or oops).
The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() uses the state of the kexec_lock to
determine this state. If kexec_lock is already held then condition 2 is
true and crash_kexec_secondary() is called, else; this CPU is flagged as
the crashing CPU, the kexec_lock is acquired and crash_kexec() proceeds
as described above.
Each additional CPUs responding to the soft-reset will pass through
crash_kexec() to kexec_secondary(). All secondary CPUs call
crash_ipi_callback() readying them self's for the shutdown. When ready
they clear their bit in cpus_in_sr. The crashing CPU waits in
kexec_secondary() until all other CPUs have cleared their bits in
cpus_in_sr. The kexec kernel boot is then started.

In the context save/restore code, the SPU MFC command queue purge
code has a bug:
static inline void wait_purge_complete(struct spu_state *csa, struct
spu *spu)
{
struct spu_priv2 __iomem *priv2 = spu->priv2;
/* Save, Step 28:
* Poll MFC_CNTL[Ps] until value '11' is

* (purge complete).
*/
POLL_WHILE_FALSE(in_be64(&priv2->mfc_control_RW)
& MFC_CNTL_PURGE_DMA_COMPLETE);
}
This will exit as soon as _one_ of the 2 bits that compose
MFC_CNTL_PURGE_DMA_COMPLETE is set, and one of them happens to be
"purge in progress"... which means that we'll happily continue
restoring the MFC while it's being purged at the same time.

Althought RTAS is instantiated when we enter the kernel, we can't actually

To enable rtas_call() earlier, we can grab the RTAS entry etc. values while
we're scanning the flattened device tree. There's existing code to retrieve
the values from /chosen, however we don't store them there anymore, so remove

Currently it's unsafe to call rtas_call() prior to rtas_initialize(). This
is because the rtas.entry value hasn't been setup and so we don't know
where to enter, but we just try anyway.
We can't do anything intelligent without rtas.entry, so if it's not set, just
return. Code that calls rtas_call() early needs to be aware that the call
might fail.

During kdump boot, noticed some machines checkstop on dma protection
fault for ongoing DMA left in the first kernel. Instead of initializing
TCE entries in iommu_init() for the kdump boot, this patch fixes this
issue by walking through the each TCE table and checks whether the
entries are in use by the first kernel. If so, reserve those entries by
setting the corresponding bit in tbl->it_map such that these entries
will not be available for the kdump boot.
However it could be possible that all TCE entries might be used up due
to the driver bug that does continuous mapping. My observation is around
1700 TCE entries are used on some systems (Ex: P4) at some point of
time during kdump boot and saving dump (either write into the disk or
sending to remote machine). Hence, this patch will make sure that
minimum of 2048 entries will be available such that kdump boot could be
successful in some cases.

On some i386/x86_64 systems, sending an NMI IPI as a broadcast will
reset the system. This seems to be a BIOS bug which affects machines
where one or more cpus are not under OS control. It occurs on HT
systems with a version of the OS that is not compiled without HT

2 <= n < cpus known to the BIOS. The fix is to always send NMI IPI as

x86_64 and i386 behave inconsistently when sending an IPI on vector 2
(NMI_VECTOR). Make both behave the same, so IPI 2 is sent as NMI.
The crash code was abusing send_IPI_allbutself() by passing a code
instead of a vector, it only worked because crash knew about the
internal code of send_IPI_allbutself(). Change crash to use NMI_VECTOR
instead, and remove the comment about how crash was abusing the function.
This patch is a pre-requisite for fixing the problem where sending an
IPI as NMI would reboot some Dell Xeon systems. I cannot fix that
problem while crash continus to abuse send_IPI_allbutself().
It also removes the inconsistency between i386 and x86_64 for
NMI_VECTOR. That will simplify all the RAS code that needs to bring
all the cpus to a clean stop, even when one or more cpus are spinning
disabled.
