51c52e8669 powerpc: Split out do_feature_fixups() from cputable.c
The logic to patch CPU feature sections lives in cputable.c, but these days
it's used for CPU features as well as firmware features.  Move it into
it's own file for neatness and as preparation for some additions.

While we're moving the code, we pull the loop body logic into a separate
routine, and remove a comment which doesn't apply anymore.

This adds a cputable function pointer for the CPU-side machine
check handling. The semantic is still the same as the old one,
the one in ppc_md. overrides the one in cputable, though
ultimately we'll want to change that so the CPU gets first.

This removes CONFIG_440A which was a problem for multiplatform
kernels and instead fixes up the IVOR at runtime from a setup_cpu
function. The "A" version of the machine check also tweaks the
regs->trap value to differenciate the 2 versions at the C level.

d1dfc35d3a [POWERPC] 4xx: Workaround for the 440EP(x)/GR(x) processors identical PVR issue.
PowerPC 440EP(x) 440GR(x) processors have the same PVR values, since
they have identical cores. However, FPU is not supported on GR(x) and
enabling APU instruction broadcast in the CCR0 register (to enable FPU)
may cause unpredictable results. There's no safe way to detect FPU
support at runtime. This patch provides a workarund for the issue.

We use a POWER6 "logical PVR approach". First, we identify all EP(x)
and GR(x) processors as GR(x) ones (which is safe). Then we check
the device tree cpu path. If we have a EP(x) processor entry,
we call identify_cpu again with PVR | 0x8. This bit is always 0
in the real PVR. This way we enable FPU only for 440EP(x).

87a72f9e17 [POWERPC] Fix performance monitor on machines with logical PVR
Some IBM machines supply a "logical" PVR (processor version register)
value in the device tree in the cpu nodes rather than the real PVR.
This is used for instance to indicate that the processors in a POWER6
partition have been configured by the hypervisor to run in POWER5+
mode rather than POWER6 mode.  To cope with this, we call identify_cpu
a second time with the logical PVR value (the first call is with the
real PVR value in the very early setup code).

However, POWER5+ machines can also supply a logical PVR value, and use
the same value (the value that indicates a v2.04 architecture
compliant processor).  This causes problems for code that uses the
performance monitor (such as oprofile), because the PMU registers are
different in POWER6 (even in POWER5+ mode) from the real POWER5+.

This change works around this problem by taking out the PMU
information from the cputable entries for the logical PVR values, and
changing identify_cpu so that the second call to it won't overwrite
the PMU information that was established by the first call (the one
with the real PVR), but does update the other fields.  Specifically,
if the cputable entry for the logical PVR value has num_pmcs == 0,
none of the PMU-related fields get used.

So that we can create a mixed cputable entry, we now make cur_cpu_spec
point to a single static struct cpu_spec, and copy stuff from
cpu_specs[i] into it.  This has the side-effect that we can now make
cpu_specs[] be initdata.

Ultimately it would be good to move the PMU-related fields out to a
separate structure, pointed to by the cputable entries, and change
identify_cpu so that it saves the PMU info pointer, copies the whole
structure, and restores the PMU info pointer, rather than identify_cpu
having to list all the fields that are *not* PMU-related.

This patch adds support for FP emulation on the e300c2 by declaring a

intercepted and redirected to the ProgramCheck exception path for
correct emulation handling.

(If we run out of CPU_FTR bits we could look to reclaim this bit by adding

18f2190d79 [POWERPC] cell: Add oprofile support
Add PPU event-based and cycle-based profiling support to Oprofile for Cell.

Oprofile is expected to collect data on all CPUs simultaneously.
However, there is one set of performance counters per node.  There are
two hardware threads or virtual CPUs on each node.  Hence, OProfile must
multiplex in time the performance counter collection on the two virtual
CPUs.

The multiplexing of the performance counters is done by a virtual
counter routine.  Initially, the counters are configured to collect data
on the even CPUs in the system, one CPU per node.  In order to capture
the PC for the virtual CPU when the performance counter interrupt occurs
(the specified number of events between samples has occurred), the even
processors are configured to handle the performance counter interrupts
for their node.  The virtual counter routine is called via a kernel
timer after the virtual sample time.  The routine stops the counters,
saves the current counts, loads the last counts for the other virtual
CPU on the node, sets interrupts to be handled by the other virtual CPU
and restarts the counters, the virtual timer routine is scheduled to run
again.  The virtual sample time is kept relatively small to make sure
sampling occurs on both CPUs on the node with a relatively small
granularity.  Whenever the counters overflow, the performance counter
interrupt is called to collect the PC for the CPU where data is being
collected.

The oprofile driver relies on a firmware RTAS call to setup the debug bus
to route the desired signals to the performance counter hardware to be
counted.  The RTAS call must set the routing registers appropriately in
each of the islands to pass the signals down the debug bus as well as
routing the signals from a particular island onto the bus.  There is a
second firmware RTAS call to reset the debug bus to the non pass thru
state when the counters are not in use.

0909c8c2d5 [POWERPC] Support feature fixups in vdso's
This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up.
The main issue was that the construct:

        .long   label  (or .llong on 64 bits)

will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will
generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc,
which is not something we can deal with in the vdso.

The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like:

1:
        .long   label - 1b

That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of
code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry
itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've
modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest
of the kernel as well.

Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel
need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not
support 32 bits code with a statement of the form:

        .llong  label - 1b  (Or even just .llong label)

That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use
to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific
case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are
using a modified macro that generates:

        .long   0xffffffff
        .llong  label - 1b

Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by
the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always
before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the
other way around).

42c4aaadb7 [POWERPC] Consolidate feature fixup code
There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the
feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In
addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations
for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and
separately for 32 and 64 bits.

This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are
slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from
assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any
problem.

5b43d20a4d [POWERPC] powerpc: Enable DEEPNAP power savings mode on 970MP
Without this patch, on an idle system I get:

cpu-power-0:21.638
cpu-power-1:27.102
cpu-power-2:29.343
cpu-power-3:25.784
Total: 103.8W

With this patch:

cpu-power-0:11.730
cpu-power-1:17.185
cpu-power-2:18.547
cpu-power-3:17.528
Total: 65.0W

If I lower HZ to 100, I can get it as low as:

cpu-power-0:10.938
cpu-power-1:16.021
cpu-power-2:17.245
cpu-power-3:16.145
Total: 60.2W

Another (older) Quad G5 went from 54W to 39W at HZ=250.

Coming back out of Deep Nap takes 40-70 cycles longer than coming back
from just Nap (which already takes quite a while). I don't think it'll
be a performance issue (interrupt latency on an idle system), but in
case someone does measurements feel free to report them.
