Richard Henderson pointed out that the powerpc __futex_atomic_op has a
bug: it will write the wrong value if the stwcx. fails and it has to
retry the lwarx/stwcx. loop, since 'oparg' will have been overwritten
by the result from the first time around the loop. This happens
because it uses the same register for 'oparg' (an input) as it uses
for the result.
This fixes it by using separate registers for 'oparg' and 'ret'.

While adding native EEH support to Emulex and Qlogic drivers, it was
discovered that dev->error_state was set to pci_io_channel_normal too
late in the recovery process. These drivers rely on error_state to
determine if they can access the device in their slot_reset callback,
thus error_state needs to be set to pci_io_channel_normal in
eeh_report_reset(). Below is a detailed explanation (courtesy of Richard
Lary) as to why this is necessary.
Background:
PCI MMIO or DMA accesses to a frozen slot generate additional EEH
errors. If the number of additional EEH errors exceeds EEH_MAX_FAILS the
adapter will be shutdown. To avoid triggering excessive EEH errors and
an undesirable adapter shutdown, some drivers use the
pci_channel_offline(dev) wrapper function to return a Boolean value
based on the value of pci_dev->error_state to determine if PCI MMIO or
DMA accesses are safe. If the wrapper returns TRUE, drivers must not
make PCI MMIO or DMA access to their hardware.
The pci_dev structure member error_state reflects one of three values,
1) pci_channel_io_normal, 2) pci_channel_io_frozen, 3)
pci_channel_io_perm_failure. Function pci_channel_offline(dev) returns
TRUE if error_state is pci_channel_io_frozen or pci_channel_io_perm_failure.
The EEH driver sets pci_dev->error_state to pci_channel_io_frozen at the
point where the PCI slot is frozen. Currently, the EEH driver restores
dev->error_state to pci_channel_io_normal in eeh_report_resume() before
calling the driver's resume callback. However, when the EEH driver calls
the driver's slot_reset callback() from eeh_report_reset(), it
incorrectly indicates the error state is still pci_channel_io_frozen.
Waiting until eeh_report_resume() to restore dev->error_state to
pci_channel_io_normal is too late for Emulex and QLogic FC drivers and
any other drivers which are designed to use common code paths in these
two cases: i) those called after the driver's slot_reset callback() and
ii) those called after the PCI slot is frozen but before the driver's
slot_reset callback is called. Case i) all driver paths executed to
reinitialize the hardware after a reset and case ii) all code paths
executed by driver kernel threads that run asynchronous to the main
driver thread, such as interrupt handlers and worker threads to process
driver work queues.
Emulex and QLogic FC drivers are designed with common code paths which
require that pci_channel_offline(dev) reflect the true state of the
hardware. The state transitions that the hardware takes from Normal
Operations to Slot Frozen to Reset to Normal Operations are documented
in the Power Architecture™ Platform Requirements+ (PAPR+) in Table 75.
PE State Control.
PAPR defines the following 3 states:
0 -- Not reset, Not EEH stopped, MMIO load/store allowed, DMA allowed
(Normal Operations)
1 -- Reset, Not EEH stopped, MMIO load/store disabled, DMA disabled
2 -- Not reset, EEH stopped, MMIO load/store disabled, DMA disabled
(Slot Frozen)
An EEH error places the slot in state 2 (Frozen) and the adapter driver
is notified that an EEH error was detected. If the adapter driver
returns PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET, the EEH driver calls
eeh_reset_device() to place the slot into state 1 (Reset) and
eeh_reset_device completes by placing the slot into State 0 (Normal
Operations). Upon return from eeh_reset_device(), the EEH driver calls
eeh_report_reset, which then calls the adapter's slot_reset callback. At
the time the adapter's slot_reset callback is called, the true state of
the hardware is Normal Operations and should be accurately reflected by
setting dev->error_state to pci_channel_io_normal.
The current implementation of EEH driver does not do so and requires
this change to correct this deficiency.

In commit 51dcdfec6a274afc1c6fce180d582add9ff512c0 ("parport: Use the
PCI IRQ if offered") parport_pc_probe_port() gained an irqflags arg.
This isn't being supplied on powerpc. This patch make powerpc fallback
to the old behaviour, that is using "0" for irqflags.

Impact: fix potential deadlocks on powerpc
Now that the core is using in_nmi() (added in e30e08f6, "perf_counter:
fix NMI race in task clock"), we need the powerpc perf_counter_interrupt
to call nmi_enter() and nmi_exit() in those cases where the interrupt
happens when interrupts are soft-disabled.
If interrupts were soft-enabled, we can treat it as a regular interrupt
and do irq_enter/irq_exit around the whole routine. This lets us get rid
of the test_perf_counter_pending() call at the end of
perf_counter_interrupt, thus simplifying things a little.

Impact: enable access to hardware feature
POWER processors have the ability to "mark" a subset of the instructions
and provide more detailed information on what happens to the marked
instructions as they flow through the pipeline. This marking is
enabled by the "sample enable" bit in MMCRA, and there are
synchronization requirements around setting and clearing the bit.
This adds logic to the processor-specific back-ends so that they know
which events relate to marked instructions and set the sampling enable
bit if any event that we want to put on the PMU is a marked instruction
event. It also adds logic to the generic powerpc code to do the
necessary synchronization if that bit is set.

This fixes a problem reported by Sean MacLennan where loading any
module would cause an oops. We weren't marking the pages containing
the module text as having hardware execute permission, due to a bug
introduced in commit 8d1cf34e ("powerpc/mm: Tweak PTE bit combination
definitions"), hence trying to execute the module text caused an
exception on processors that support hardware execute permission.
This adds _PAGE_HWEXEC to the definitions of PAGE_KERNEL_X and
PAGE_KERNEL_ROX to fix this problem.

the fpr array due to the broken FPINDEX macro. The

When we call giveup_fpu, we need to need to turn off VSX for the
current process. If we don't, on return to userspace it may execute a
VSX instruction before the next FP instruction, and not have its
register state refreshed correctly from the thread_struct. Ditto for
altivec.
This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs results in
fix_alignment calling giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs (in order to
do a single <-> double conversion), and then returning to userspace
with FP off but VSX on. Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before
another FP instruction, it will proceed without another exception and
hence have the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31.
lfs unaligned <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on
VSX instruction <- no exception since VSX on, hence we get the
wrong VSX register values for VSX registers 0-31,
which overlap the FPRs.

Impact: better error reporting
At present, if hw_perf_counter_init encounters an error, all it can do
is return NULL, which causes sys_perf_counter_open to return an EINVAL
error to userspace. This isn't very informative for userspace; it means
that userspace can't tell the difference between "sorry, oprofile is
already using the PMU" and "we don't support this CPU" and "this CPU
doesn't support the requested generic hardware event".
This commit uses the PTR_ERR/ERR_PTR/IS_ERR set of macros to let
hw_perf_counter_init return an error code on error rather than just NULL
if it wishes. If it does so, that error code will be returned from
sys_perf_counter_open to userspace. If it returns NULL, an EINVAL
error will be returned to userspace, as before.
This also adapts the powerpc hw_perf_counter_init to make use of this
to return ENXIO, EINVAL, EBUSY, or EOPNOTSUPP as appropriate. It would
be good to add extra error numbers in future to allow userspace to
distinguish the various errors that are currently reported as EINVAL,
i.e. irq_period < 0, too many events in a group, conflict between
exclude_* settings in a group, and PMU resource conflict in a group.
[ v2: fix a bug pointed out by Corey Ashford where error returns from
hw_perf_counter_init were not handled correctly in the case of
raw hardware events.]

Impact: cooperate with oprofile
At present, on PowerPC, if you have perf_counters compiled in, oprofile
doesn't work. There is code to allow the PMU to be shared between
competing subsystems, such as perf_counters and oprofile, but currently
the perf_counter subsystem reserves the PMU for itself at boot time,
and never releases it.
This makes perf_counter play nicely with oprofile. Now we keep a count
of how many perf_counter instances are counting hardware events, and
reserve the PMU when that count becomes non-zero, and release the PMU
when that count becomes zero. This means that it is possible to have
perf_counters compiled in and still use oprofile, as long as there are
no hardware perf_counters active. This also means that if oprofile is
active, sys_perf_counter_open will fail if the hw_event specifies a
hardware event.
To avoid races with other tasks creating and destroying perf_counters,
we use a mutex. We use atomic_inc_not_zero and atomic_add_unless to
avoid having to take the mutex unless there is a possibility of the
count going between 0 and 1.

While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work
for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on
them.
This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this
issue.
Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based
single link list implementation to track counters that have pending
wakeups.
[ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we
cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the
perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the
network wakeups. ]
Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its
quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the
wakeup.
The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be
sufficient.
