Commit f948501b36c6 ("Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable
interrupts") caused check_and_cede_processor to stop working.
->irq_happened will never be zero right after a hard_irq_disable
so the compiler removes the call to cede_processor completely.
The bug was introduced back in the lazy interrupt handling rework
of 3.4 but was hidden until recently because hard_irq_disable did
nothing.
This issue will eventually appear in 3.4 stable since the
hard_irq_disable fix is marked stable, so mark this one for stable
too.

At present, hard_irq_disable() does nothing on powerpc because of
this code in include/linux/interrupt.h:
#ifndef hard_irq_disable
#define hard_irq_disable() do { } while(0)
#endif
So we need to make our hard_irq_disable be a macro. It was previously
a macro until commit 7230c56441 ("powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt
handling") changed it to a static inline function.

Rather than requiring architectures that use gpiolib but don't have any
need to define anything custom to copy an asm/gpio.h provide a Kconfig
symbol which architectures must select in order to include gpio.h and
for other architectures just provide the trivial implementation directly.
This makes it much easier to do gpiolib updates and is also a step towards
making gpiolib APIs available on every architecture.
For architectures with existing boilerplate code leave a stub header in
place which warns on direct inclusion of asm/gpio.h and includes
linux/gpio.h to catch code that's doing this. Direct inclusion of
asm/gpio.h has long been deprecated.

The current code groups up to 16 nodes in a level and then puts an
ALLNODES domain spanning the entire tree on top of that. This doesn't
reflect the numa topology and esp for the smaller not-fully-connected
machines out there today this might make a difference.
Therefore, build a proper numa topology based on node_distance().
Since there's no fixed numa layers anymore, the static SD_NODE_INIT
and SD_ALLNODES_INIT aren't usable anymore, the new code tries to
construct something similar and scales some values either on the
number of cpus in the domain and/or the node_distance() ratio.

When reading and writing SPRs, every SPR emulation piece had to read
or write the respective GPR the value was read from or stored in itself.
This approach is pretty prone to failure. What if we accidentally
implement mfspr emulation where we just do "break" and nothing else?
Suddenly we would get a random value in the return register - which is
always a bad idea.
So let's consolidate the generic code paths and only give the core
specific SPR handling code readily made variables to read/write from/to.
Functionally, this patch doesn't change anything, but it increases the
readability of the code and makes is less prone to bugs.

Time for which the hrtimer is started for decrementer emulation is calculated
using tb_ticks_per_usec. While hrtimer uses the clockevent for DEC
reprogramming (if needed) and which calculate timebase ticks using the
multiplier and shifter mechanism implemented within clockevent layer.
It was observed that this conversion (timebase->time->timebase) are not
correct because the mechanism are not consistent.
In our setup it adds 2% jitter.
With this patch clockevent multiplier and shifter mechanism are used when
starting hrtimer for decrementer emulation. Now the jitter is < 0.5%.

Add two optimisations to enable_kernel_altivec:
- enable_kernel_altivec has already determined if we need to
save the previous task's state but we call giveup_altivec
in both cases, requiring an extra branch in giveup_altivec. Create
giveup_altivec_notask which only turns on the VMX bit in the
MSR.
- We write the VMX MSR bit each time we call enable_kernel_altivec
even it was already set. Check the bit and branch out if we have
already set it. The classic case for this is vectored IO
where we have to copy multiple buffers to or from userspace.
The following testcase was used to confirm this patch improves
performance:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c
Since the current breakpoint for using VMX in copy_tofrom_user is
4096 bytes, I'm using buffers of 4096 + 1 cacheline (4224) bytes.
A benchmark of 16 entry readvs (-s 16):
time copy_to_user -l 4224 -s 16 -i 1000000
completes 5.2% faster on a POWER7 PS700.

Use an empty inline instead of an empty function to implement
giveup_altivec on book3e CPUs, similar to flush_altivec_to_thread.

We have a union containing fields from the old iseries hypervisor
that has been reused for the cede latency hint. Since we no
longer support iseries, remove the union completely.

The switch from using irq_map to irq_alloc_desc*() for managing irq
number allocations introduced new bugs in some of the powerpc
interrupt code. Several functions rely on the value of NR_IRQS to
determine the maximum irq number that could get allocated. However,
with sparse_irq and using irq_alloc_desc*() the maximum possible irq
number is now specified with 'nr_irqs' which may be a number larger
than NR_IRQS. This has caused breakage on powermac when
CONFIG_NR_IRQS is set to 32.
This patch removes most of the direct references to NR_IRQS in the
powerpc code and replaces them with either a nr_irqs reference or by
using the common for_each_irq_desc() macro. The powerpc-specific
for_each_irq() macro is removed at the same time.
Also, the Cell axon_msi driver is refactored to remove the global
build assumption on the size of NR_IRQS and instead add a limit to the
maximum irq number when calling irq_domain_add_nomap().

This gets rid of the unused default senses array, and replaces the
incorrect use of IRQ_TYPE_NONE with the new IRQ_TYPE_DEFAULT for
the initial set_trigger() call when mapping an interrupt.
This in turn makes us read the HW state and update the irq desc
accordingly.

Commit ae3a197e (Disintegrate asm/system.h for PowerPC) broke build of
assembly files when CONFIG_BOOKE_WDT is enabled as follows:
AS arch/powerpc/lib/string.o
/home/baruch/git/stable/arch/powerpc/include/asm/reg_booke.h: Assembler messages:
/home/baruch/git/stable/arch/powerpc/include/asm/reg_booke.h:19: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `extern'
/home/baruch/git/stable/arch/powerpc/include/asm/reg_booke.h:20: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `extern'
Since setup_32.c is the only user of the booke_wdt configuration variables, move
the declarations there.
