a4bd6a93c3 powerpc/mm: Respect _PAGE_COHERENT on classic ppc32 SW
Since we now set _PAGE_COHERENT in the Linux PTE we shouldn't be clearing
it out before we setup the SW TLB.  Today all the SW TLB machines
(603/e300) that we support are non-SMP, however there are some errata on
some devices that cause us to set _PAGE_COHERENT via CPU_FTR_NEED_COHERENT.

19390c4d03 linker script: define __per_cpu_load on all SMP capable archs
Impact: __per_cpu_load available on all SMP capable archs

Percpu now requires three symbols to be defined - __per_cpu_load,
__per_cpu_start and __per_cpu_end.  There were three archs which
didn't have it.  Update them as follows.

* powerpc: can use generic PERCPU() macro.  Compile tested for
  powerpc32, compile/boot tested for powerpc64.

* ia64: can use generic PERCPU_VADDR() macro.  __phys_per_cpu_start is
  identical to __per_cpu_load.  Compile tested and symbol table looks
  identical after the change except for the additional __per_cpu_load.

* arm: added explicit __per_cpu_load definition.  Currently uses
  unified .init output section so can't use the generic macro.  Dunno
  whether the unified .init ouput section is required by arch
  peculiarity so I left it alone.  Please break it up and use PERCPU()
  if possible.

When we introduced VSX, we changed the way FPRs are stored in the

5b11abfdb5 powerpc/pci: mmap anonymous memory when legacy_mem doesn't exist
The new legacy_mem file in sysfs is causing problems with X on machines
that don't support legacy memory access. The way I initially implemented
it, we would fail with -ENXIO when trying to mmap it, thus exposing to
X that we do support the API but there is no legacy memory.

Unfortunately, X poor error handling is causing it to fail to start when
it gets this error.

This implements a workaround hack that instead maps anonymous memory
instead (using shmem if VM_SHARED is set, just like /dev/zero does).

69b052e828 powerpc/pseries: Correct VIO bus accounting problem in CMO env.
In the VIO bus code the wrappers for dma alloc_coherent and free_coherent
calls are rounding to IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE.  Taking a look at the underlying
calls, the actual mapping is promoted to PAGE_SIZE.  Changing the
rounding in these two functions fixes under-reporting the entitlement
used by the system.  Without this change, the system could run out of
entitlement before it believes it has and incur mapping failures at the
firmware level.

Also in the VIO bus code, the wrapper for dma map_sg is not exiting in
an error path where it should.  Rather than fall through to code for the
success case, this patch adds the return that is needed in the error path.

this is what firmware actually presents.

This patch makes us look for the "slb-size" property as well and in
preference to the "ibm,slb-size".  This should future proof us if

c478b58135 powerpc/powermac: Fix occasional SMP boot failure
The PowerMac kernel occasionally fails to bring up the secondary CPUs on
SMP, the trigger factor seem to be fairly random and related to location
of code and data.

This appears to be due to the initial loading of the TOC value by the
secondary processor which now happens before we clear HID4:RM_CI (Real
Mode Cache Invalidate). This bit should really be cleared before we do
any load or store other than fetching code.

This fix works based on the assumption that all SMP 64-bit PowerMacs use
variants of the 970, which fortunately is true, by explicitely clearing
that bit, adding an slbia for good measure as RM_CI mode is known to
create bogus ERAT entries.

I also removed some spurrious debug output that was left enabled by
mistake while at it.

 -#else
 -# include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>
 -#endif
 +#include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>

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.

Also, default to the previous KDUMP_KERNELBASE if the start is 0.

Other architectures (x86, ia64) state that specifying the start address
0 (or omitting it) will result in the kernel allocating it.  Before the

16124f10df powerpc: Fix pciconfig_iobase system call on PCI-Express powermac
X has been failing to start on my quad G5 powermac since commit
1fd0f52583 ("powerpc: Fix domain numbers
in /proc on 64-bit") went in.  The reason is that the change allows X
to see the PCI-PCI bridge above the video card (previously it was
obscured by the fact that there were two "00" directories in
/proc/bus/pci), and the pciconfig_iobase system call on the bridge is
failing because of a hack that we have to return information about the
AGP bus when X asks about bus 0.  This machine doesn't have an AGP bus
(it has PCI Express) and so the pciconfig_iobase call is returning -1,
which ultimately causes X to fail to start.

This fixes it by checking that we have an AGP bridge before
redirecting the pciconfig_iobase call to return information about the
AGP bus.  With this, X starts successfully both on a quad G5 with
PCI Express and on an older dual G5 with AGP.

93197a36a9 powerpc: Rewrite sysfs processor cache info code
The current code for providing processor cache information in sysfs
has the following deficiencies:
- several complex functions that are hard to understand
- implicit recursion (cache_desc_release -> kobject_put -> cache_desc_release)
- explicit recursion (create_cache_index_info)
- use of two per-cpu arrays when one would suffice
- duplication of work on systems where CPUs share cache

Also, when I looked at implementing support for a shared_cpu_map
attribute, it was pretty much impossible to handle hotplug without
checking every single online CPU's cache_desc list and fixing things
up... not that this is a hot path, but it would have introduced
O(n^2)-ish behavior during boot.  Addressing this involved rethinking
the core data structures used, which didn't lend itself to an
incremental approach.

This implementation maintains a "forest" (potentially more than one
tree) of cache objects which reflects the system's cache topology.
Cache objects are instantiated as needed as CPUs come online.  A
per-cpu array is used mainly for sysfs-related bookkeeping; the
objects in the array just point to the appropriate points in the
forest.

This maintains compatibility with the existing code and includes some
enhancements:
- Implement the shared_cpu_map attribute, which is essential for
  enabling userspace to discover the system's overall cache topology.
- Use cache-block-size properties if cache-line-size is not available.

I chose to place this implementation in a new file since it would have
roughly doubled the size of sysfs.c, which is already kind of messy.

c1f343028d powerpc/pci: Reserve legacy regions on PCI
There's a problem on some embedded platforms when we re-assign
everything on PCI, such as 44x. The generic code tries to avoid
assigning devices to addresses overlapping the low legacy
addresses such as VGA hard decoded areas using constants that
are unfortunately no good for us, as they don't take into account
the address translation we do to access PCI busses.

Thus we end up allocating things like IO BARs to 0, which is
technically legal, but will shadow hard decoded ports for use
by things like VGA cards.

This works around it by attempting to reserve legacy regions
before we try to assign addresses.

NOTE: This may have nasty side effects in cases I haven't tested
yet:

 - We try to use FW mappings (ie. powermac) and the FW has allocated
a conflicting address over those legacy regions. This will typically
happen. I would expect the new code to just fail with an informative
message without harm but I haven't had a chance to test that scenario
yet.

 - A device with fixed BARs overlapping those legacy addresses such
as an IDE controller in legacy mode is in the system. I don't know
for sure yet what will happen there, I have to test :-)

Ideally, we should change PCIBIOS_MIN_IO/MIN_MEM accross the board
to take a bus pointer so they can provide appropriate per-bus translated
values to the generic code but that's a more invasive patch. I will
do that in the future, but in the meantime, this fixes the problem
locally

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).

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.

79741dd357 [PATCH] idle cputime accounting
The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.

In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.

This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.

457533a7d3 [PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accounting
The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the
global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls
to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have
been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time
to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time
instead of the scaled user time.
To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges
account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and
account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.
