64ff312876 powerpc: Add support for popcnt instructions
POWER5 added popcntb, and POWER7 added popcntw and popcntd. As a first step
this patch does all the work out of line, but it would be nice to implement
them as inlines with an out of line fallback.

The performance issue with hweight was noticed when disabling SMT on a large
(192 thread) POWER7 box. The patch improves that testcase by about 8%.

251585b5d0 KVM: PPC: Find HTAB ourselves
For KVM we need to find the location of the HTAB. We can either rely
on internal data structures of the kernel or ask the hardware.

Ben issued complaints about the internal data structure method, so
let's switch it to our own inquiry of the HTAB. Now we're fully
independend :-).

963cf3dc63 KVM: PPC: Add helpers to call FPU instructions
To emulate paired single instructions, we need to be able to call FPU
operations from within the kernel. Since we don't want gcc to spill
arbitrary FPU code everywhere, we tell it to use a soft fpu.

Since we know we can really call the FPU in safe areas, let's also add
some calls that we can later use to actually execute real world FPU
operations on the host's FPU.

cd01570717 powerpc: Enable sparse irq_descs on powerpc
Defining CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ enables generic code that gets rid of the
static irq_desc array, and replaces it with an array of pointers to
irq_descs.

It also allows node local allocation of irq_descs, however we
currently don't have the information available to do that, so we just
allocate them on all on node 0.

f048aace29 powerpc/mm: Add SMP support to no-hash TLB handling
This commit moves the whole no-hash TLB handling out of line into a
new tlb_nohash.c file, and implements some basic SMP support using
IPIs and/or broadcast tlbivax instructions.

Note that I'm using local invalidations for D->I cache coherency.

At worst, if another processor is trying to execute the same and
has the old entry in its TLB, it will just take a fault and re-do
the TLB flush locally (it won't re-do the cache flush in any case).

0ba3418b8b powerpc: Introduce local (non-broadcast) forms of tlb invalidates
Introduced a new set of low level tlb invalidate functions that do not
broadcast invalidates on the bus:

_tlbil_all - invalidate all
_tlbil_pid - invalidate based on process id (or mm context)
_tlbil_va  - invalidate based on virtual address (ea + pid)

On non-SMP configs _tlbil_all should be functionally equivalent to _tlbia and
_tlbil_va should be functionally equivalent to _tlbie.

The intent of this change is to handle SMP based invalidates via IPIs instead
of broadcasts as the mechanism scales better for larger number of cores.

On e500 (fsl-booke mmu) based cores move to using MMUCSR for invalidate alls
and tlbsx/tlbwe for invalidate virtual address.

ce48b21007 powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support
This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available.  This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.

Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.

The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers.  Backward
compatibility is maintained.

The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.

Subject: Export empty_zero_page

The empty_zero_page symbol is exported by most other architectures

ZERO_PAGE() references empty_zero_page, and we need it to zero out an
unitialized extents in ext4 files.

45d8e7aaf4 [POWERPC] Only export __mtdcr/__mfdcr if CONFIG_PPC_DCR is set
On 85xx we don't build in dcr support because the core doesn't implement the
instructions.  This caused problems when building an 85xx kernel.  Additionally
made it so we only build __mtdcr/__mfdcr if we are CONFIG_PPC_DCR_NATIVE.

The 85xx build issue wasPointed out by Dai Haruki.

d04c56f73c [POWERPC] Lazy interrupt disabling for 64-bit machines
This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts.  This means
that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are
enabled' flag in the paca.  If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt
entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and
clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled'
flag in the paca, and returns.  This means that interrupts only
actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along.

When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code
sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether
interrupts got hard-disabled.  If so, it also sets the EE bit in the
MSR to hard-enable the interrupts.

This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it
easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit
machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the
soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses.

This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and
changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables,
which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw.  This doesn't
yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled
flags.  This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it
possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

5adcaf50cf [POWERPC] convert string i/o operations to C
This produces essentially the same code and will make the iSeries i/o
consolidation easier.

The count parameter is changed to long since that will produce the same
(better) code on 32 and 64 bit builds.

Removes the flush_dcache_all export for non coherent platforms.
We removed the last in-kernel user of this years ago in arch/ppc
so it no longer serves a purpose. Plus, it breaks the build

894673ee61 [PATCH] tty: Remove include of screen_info.h from tty.h
screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be
included by tty.h.  This patches removes the include and modifies all users to
directly include screen_info.h.  struct screen_info is mainly used to
communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console.  Note that this
patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it.  If there is a
mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.
