To support Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO), we need to check
for failure from some of the tce hcalls.
These changes for the pseries platform affect the powerpc architecture;
patches for the other affected platforms are included in this patch.
pSeries platform IOMMU code changes:
* platform TCE functions must handle H_NOT_ENOUGH_RESOURCES errors and
return an error.
Architecture IOMMU code changes:
* Calls to ppc_md.tce_build need to check return values and return
DMA_MAPPING_ERROR for transient errors.
Architecture changes:
* struct machdep_calls for tce_build*_pSeriesLP functions need to change
to indicate failure.
* all other platforms will need updates to iommu functions to match the new
calling semantics; they will return 0 on success. The other platforms
default configs have been built, but no further testing was performed.

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:
u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):
#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.
Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and
implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core
interface.
It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you
cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of
debug hooks.
The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the
debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver.
Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver
configured.

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.
I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.
I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

binutils < 2.18 has a bug that makes it misbehave when taking an
ELF file with all segments at load address 0 as input. This
happens when running "strip" on vmlinux, because of the AT() magic
in this linker script. People using GCC >= 4.2 won't run into
this problem, because the "build-id" support will put some data
into the "notes" segment (at a non-zero load address).
To work around this, we force some data into both the "dummy"
segment and the kernel segment, so the dummy segment will get a
non-zero load address. It's not enough to always create the
"notes" segment, since if nothing gets assigned to it, its load
address will be zero.

While running on a system with new hardware and a kernel where the
cpu_specs[] table does not recognize the new hardware, the identify_cpu()
routine will select the default case as it searches through cpu_specs[]
in an attempt to match the real PVR. Once the default case is selected,
non of the oprofile counters and/or fields have been set up or defined.
When identify_cpu() is called once more with the logical PVR, some of
the cpu specific fields are replaced with the exception of the oprofile
related ones. However, in the case where we have actually taken the
default case while searching for the real PVR, we need to tell
oprofile that we are now running in compatibility mode so it can pick up
the correct counters. We do this by setting the oprofile_cpu_type field
to be that taken from the cpu_specs[] for the cpu we are now emulating.
This change will detect that we are now altering the real PVR and determine
if we also need to update the oprofile_cpu_type field.

The OF parsing code for PCI addresses isn't always treating properly
the address space indication 0b11 (ie. 0x3) as meaning 64 bits
memory space.
This means that it fails to parse addresses for PCI BARs that have
this encoding set by the firmware, which happens on some SLOF
versions and breaks offb palette handling on Powerstation.

Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:
scheduler switch to idle task
enable interrupts
Window starts here
----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
irq_exit() stops the tick
----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
return from schedule()
cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
Window ends here
The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.
The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
cpu_idle()
{
preempt_disable();
while(1) {
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
are in the idle loop
while (!need_resched())
halt();
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
preempt_enable_no_resched();
schedule();
preempt_disable();
}
}
In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ...
/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

Background from Maynard Johnson:
As of POWER6, a set of 32 common events is defined that must be
supported on all future POWER processors. The main impetus for this
compat set is the need to support partition migration, especially from
processor P(n) to processor P(n+1), where performance software that's
running in the new partition may not be knowledgeable about processor
P(n+1). If a performance tool determines it does not support the
physical processor, but is told (via the
PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT bit) that the processor supports
the notion of the PMU compat set, then the performance tool can
surface just those events to the user of the tool.
PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT indicates that the PMU supports at
least this basic subset of events which is compatible across POWER
processor lines.

When the ucontext changed to add the VSX context, this broke backwards
compatibly on swapcontext. swapcontext only compares the ucontext size
passed in from the user to the new kernel ucontext size.
This adds a check against the old ucontext size (with VMX but without
VSX). It also adds some sanity check for ucontexts without VSX, but
where VSX is used according the MSR. Fixes for both 32 and 64bit

Allow an application to enable Strong Access Ordering on specific pages of
memory on Power 7 hardware. Currently, power has a weaker memory model than
x86. Implementing a stronger memory model allows an emulator to more
efficiently translate x86 code into power code, resulting in faster code
execution.
On Power 7 hardware, storing 0b1110 in the WIMG bits of the hpte enables
strong access ordering mode for the memory page. This patchset allows a
user to specify which pages are thus enabled by passing a new protection
bit through mmap() and mprotect(). I have defined PROT_SAO to be 0x10.

Make iommu_map_sg take a struct iommu_table. It did so before commit
740c3ce66700640a6e6136ff679b067e92125794 (iommu sg merging: ppc: make
iommu respect the segment size limits).
This stops the function looking in the archdata.dma_data for the iommu
table because in the future it will be called with a device that has
no table there.
This also has the nice side effect of making iommu_map_sg() match the
