Pull powerpc merge from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window. It is going to be a
bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of
arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got
rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to
maintain and that nobody really used anymore.
Here are some of the highlights:
- Legacy iSeries is gone. Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits
and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but
they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks
hopefully.
- The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the
previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"... it's a rewrite of a
mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the
new implementation hopefully being much more reliable. Thanks
Mahesh Salgaonkar.
- The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big
spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a
new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare.
The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is
there. Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is
not very nice and which Grant objects to. I will have a patch soon
that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully
before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully
getting rid of the need for that pointer completely). Thanks Gavin
Shan.
- I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the
way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with
"edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed
a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page
fault retry & fatal signals on page faults.
- Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch
of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..."
I fixed up some conflicts with the generalized irq-domain changes from
Grant Likely, hopefully correctly.

Pull irq_domain support for all architectures from Grant Likely:
"Generialize powerpc's irq_host as irq_domain
This branch takes the PowerPC irq_host infrastructure (reverse mapping
from Linux IRQ numbers to hardware irq numbering), generalizes it,
renames it to irq_domain, and makes it available to all architectures.
Originally the plan has been to create an all-new irq_domain
implementation which addresses some of the powerpc shortcomings such
as not handling 1:1 mappings well, but doing that proved to be far
more difficult and invasive than generalizing the working code and
refactoring it in-place. So, this branch rips out the 'new'
irq_domain and replaces it with the modified powerpc version (in a
fully bisectable way of course). It converts all users over to the
new API and makes irq_domain selectable on any architecture.
No architecture is forced to enable irq_domain, but the infrastructure
is required for doing OpenFirmware style irq translations. It will
even work on SPARC even though SPARC has it's own mechanism for
translating irqs at boot time. MIPS, microblaze, embedded x86 and c6x
are converted too.
The resulting irq_domain code is probably still too verbose and can be
optimized more, but that can be done incrementally and is a task for
follow-on patches."

"powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt handling"
I introduced a regression, accidentally calling irq tracing twice
and not properly restoring a clobbered register (r7) later used
for writing to the MSR.
This caused lockups when booting on a G5 with lockdep enabled.

The current implementation of lazy interrupts handling has some
issues that this tries to address.
We don't do the various workarounds we need to do when re-enabling
interrupts in some cases such as when returning from an interrupt
and thus we may still lose or get delayed decrementer or doorbell
interrupts.
The current scheme also makes it much harder to handle the external
"edge" interrupts provided by some BookE processors when using the
EPR facility (External Proxy) and the Freescale Hypervisor.
Additionally, we tend to keep interrupts hard disabled in a number
of cases, such as decrementer interrupts, external interrupts, or
when a masked decrementer interrupt is pending. This is sub-optimal.
This is an attempt at fixing it all in one go by reworking the way
we do the lazy interrupt disabling from the ground up.
The base idea is to replace the "hard_enabled" field with a
"irq_happened" field in which we store a bit mask of what interrupt
occurred while soft-disabled.
When re-enabling, either via arch_local_irq_restore() or when returning
from an interrupt, we can now decide what to do by testing bits in that
field.
We then implement replaying of the missed interrupts either by
re-using the existing exception frame (in exception exit case) or via
the creation of a new one from an assembly trampoline (in the
arch_local_irq_enable case).
This removes the need to play with the decrementer to try to create
fake interrupts, among others.
In addition, this adds a few refinements:
- We no longer hard disable decrementer interrupts that occur
while soft-disabled. We now simply bump the decrementer back to max
(on BookS) or leave it stopped (on BookE) and continue with hard interrupts
enabled, which means that we'll potentially get better sample quality from
performance monitor interrupts.
- Timer, decrementer and doorbell interrupts now hard-enable
shortly after removing the source of the interrupt, which means
they no longer run entirely hard disabled. Again, this will improve
perf sample quality.
- On Book3E 64-bit, we now make the performance monitor interrupt
act as an NMI like Book3S (the necessary C code for that to work
appear to already be present in the FSL perf code, notably calling
nmi_enter instead of irq_enter). (This also fixes a bug where BookE
perfmon interrupts could clobber r14 ... oops)
- We could make "masked" decrementer interrupts act as NMIs when doing
timer-based perf sampling to improve the sample quality.

- Fix CR clobber in masked irq handling on BookE

Original EEH implementation depends on struct pci_dn heavily. However,
EEH shouldn't depend on that actually because EEH needn't share much
information with other PCI components. That's to say, EEH should have
worked independently.
The patch introduces struct eeh_dev so that EEH core components needn't
be working based on struct pci_dn in future. Also, struct pci_dn, struct
eeh_dev instances are created in dynamic fasion and the binding with EEH
device, OF node, PCI device is implemented as well.
The EEH devices are created after PHBs are detected and initialized, but
PCI emunation hasn't started yet. Apart from that, PHB might be created
dynamically through DLPAR component and the EEH devices should be creatd
as well. Another case might be OF node is created dynamically by DR
(Dynamic Reconfiguration), which has been defined by PAPR. For those OF
nodes created by DR, EEH devices should be also created accordingly. The
binding between EEH device and OF node is done while the EEH device is
initially created.
The binding between EEH device and PCI device should be done after PCI
emunation is done. Besides, PCI hotplug also needs the binding so that
the EEH devices could be traced from the newly coming PCI buses or PCI
devices.

We were using CR0.EQ after EXCEPTION_COMMON, hoping it still
contained whether we came from userspace or kernel space.
However, under some circumstances, EXCEPTION_COMMON will
call C code and clobber non-volatile registers, so we really
need to re-load the previous MSR from the stackframe and
re-test.
While there, invert the condition to make the fast path more
obvious and remove the BUG_OPCODE which was a debugging
leftover and call .ret_from_except as we should.

If we get a floating point, altivec or vsx unavaible interrupt in
kernel, we trigger a kernel error. There is no point preserving
the interrupt state, in fact, that can even make debugging harder
as the processor state might change (we may even preempt) between
taking the exception and landing in a debugger.
So just make those 3 disable interrupts unconditionally.

v2: On BookE only disable when hitting the kernel unavailable
path, otherwise it will fail to restore softe as

We currently turn interrupts back to their previous state before
calling do_page_fault(). This can be annoying when debugging as
a bad fault will potentially have lost some processor state before
getting into the debugger.
We also end up calling some generic code with interrupts enabled
such as notify_page_fault() with interrupts enabled, which could
be unexpected.
This changes our code to behave more like other architectures,
and make the assembly entry code call into do_page_faults() with
interrupts disabled. They are conditionally re-enabled from
within do_page_fault() in the same spot x86 does it.
While there, add the might_sleep() test in the case of a successful
trylock of the mmap semaphore, again like x86.
Also fix a bug in the existing assembly where r12 (_MSR) could get
clobbered by C calls (the DTL accounting in the exception common
macro and DISABLE_INTS) in some cases.

v2. Add the r12 clobber fix
|

We unconditionally hard enable interrupts. This is unnecessary as
syscalls are expected to always be called with interrupts enabled.
While at it, we add a WARN_ON if that is not the case and
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled (we don't want to add overhead
to the fast path when this is not set though).
Thus let's remove the enabling (and associated irq tracing) from
the syscall entry path. Also on Book3S, replace a few mfmsr
instructions with loads of PACAMSR from the PACA, which should be
faster & schedule better.

This moves the inlines into system.h and changes the runlatch
code to use the thread local flags (non-atomic) rather than
the TIF flags (atomic) to keep track of the latch state.

now simplified and partially inlined.

The perfmon interrupt is the sole user of a special variant of the
interrupt prolog which differs from the one used by external and timer
interrupts in that it saves the non-volatile GPRs and doesn't turn the
runlatch on.
The former is unnecessary and the later is arguably incorrect, so
let's clean that up by using the same prolog. While at it we rename
that prolog to use the _ASYNC prefix.

All IRQs on powerpc are managed via irq_domain anyway, there isn't really
any advantage to turning SPARSE_IRQ off, and it's the direction we want
to take the kernel design anyway. This patch makes powerpc always use
SPARSE_IRQ.
On pseries_defconfig, SPARSE_IRQ adds only about 0x300 bytes to the
.text sections, and removes about 0x20000 from the data section for the
static irq_desc table.

As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block
is pending in the shared queue.
Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0f28f
("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate
code across architectures. In the past some architectures got this
code wrong, so using this helper function should stop that from
happening again.

The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to
warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the
oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to
grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames.
While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations
of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the
original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.

This patch introduces an sysfs interface '/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem' to
invalidate the last fadump registration, invalidate '/proc/vmcore', release
the reserved memory for general use and re-register for future kernel dump.
Once the dump is copied to the disk, unlike phyp dump, the userspace tool
can release all the memory reserved for dump with one single operation of
echo 1 to '/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem'.
Release the reserved memory region excluding the size of the memory required
for future kernel dump registration. And therefore, unlike kdump, Fadump
doesn't need a 2nd reboot to get back the system to the production
configuration.

When registered for firmware assisted dump on powerpc, firmware preserves
the registers for the active CPUs during a system crash. This patch reads
the cpu register data stored in Firmware-assisted dump format (except for
crashing cpu) and converts it into elf notes and updates the PT_NOTE program
header accordingly. The exact register state for crashing cpu is saved to
fadump crash info structure in scratch area during crash_fadump() and read
during second kernel boot.

Build the crash memory range list by traversing through system memory during
the first kernel before we register for firmware-assisted dump. After the
successful dump registration, initialize the elfcore header and populate
PT_LOAD program headers with crash memory ranges. The elfcore header is
saved in the scratch area within the reserved memory. The scratch area starts
at the end of the memory reserved for saving RMR region contents. The
scratch area contains fadump crash info structure that contains magic number
for fadump validation and physical address where the eflcore header can be
found. This structure will also be used to pass some important crash info
data to the second kernel which will help second kernel to populate ELF core
header with correct data before it gets exported through /proc/vmcore. Since
the firmware preserves the entire partition memory at the time of crash the
contents of the scratch area will be preserved till second kernel boot.
Since the memory dump exported through /proc/vmcore is in ELF format similar
to kdump, it will help us to reuse the kdump infrastructure for dump capture
and filtering. Unlike phyp dump, userspace tool does not need to refer any
sysfs interface while reading /proc/vmcore.
NOTE: The current design implementation does not address a possibility of
introducing additional fields (in future) to this structure without affecting
compatibility. It's on TODO list to come up with better approach to
address this.

Reserve the memory during early boot to preserve CPU state data, HPTE region
and RMA (real mode area) region data in case of kernel crash. At the time of
crash, powerpc firmware will store CPU state data, HPTE region data and move
RMA region data to the reserved memory area.
If the firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve the memory, then fallback
to existing kexec-based kdump.
Most of the code implementation to reserve memory has been
adapted from phyp assisted dump implementation written by Linas Vepstas
and Manish Ahuja
This patch also introduces a config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP for firmware
assisted dump feature on Powerpc (ppc64) architecture.

We have a few problems when returning to userspace. This is a
quick set of fixes for 3.3, I'll look into a more comprehensive
rework for 3.4. This fixes:
- We kept interrupts soft-disabled when schedule'ing or calling
do_signal when returning to userspace as a result of a hardware
interrupt.
- Rename do_signal to do_notify_resume like all other archs (and
do_signal_pending back to do_signal, which it was before Roland
changed it).
- Add the missing call to key_replace_session_keyring() to
do_notify_resume().

In commit 54321242afe ("Disable interrupts early in Program Check"), we
switched from enabling to disabling interrupts in program_check_common.
Whereas ENABLE_INTS leaves r3 untouched, if lockdep is enabled DISABLE_INTS
calls into lockdep code and will clobber r3. That means we pass a bogus
struct pt_regs* into program_check_exception() and all hell breaks loose.
So load our regs pointer into r3 after we call DISABLE_INTS.

This patch only moves the code. It doesn't make any changes, and the
code is still only compiled for powerpc. Follow-on patches will generalize
the code for other architectures.

perf on POWER stopped working after commit e050e3f0a71b (perf: Fix
broken interrupt rate throttling). That patch exposed a bug in
the POWER perf_events code.
Since the PMCs count upwards and take an exception when the top bit
is set, we want to write 0x80000000 - left in power_pmu_start. We were
instead programming in left which effectively disables the counter
until we eventually hit 0x80000000. This could take seconds or longer.
With the patch applied I get the expected number of samples:
SAMPLE events: 9948

Program Check exceptions are the result of WARNs, BUGs, some
type of breakpoints, kprobe, and other illegal instructions.
We want interrupts (and thus preemption) to remain disabled
while doing the initial stage of testing the reason and
branching off to a debugger or kprobe, so we are still on
the original CPU which makes debugging easier in various cases.
This is how the code was intended, hence the local_irq_enable()
right in the middle of program_check_exception().
However, the assembly exception prologue for that exception was
incorrectly marked as enabling interrupts, which defeats that
(and records a redundant enable with lockdep).

A kernel oops/panic prints an instruction dump showing several
instructions before and after the instruction which caused the
oops/panic.
The code intended that the faulting instruction be enclosed in angle
brackets, however a bug caused the faulting instruction to be
interpreted by printk() as the message log level.
To fix this, the KERN_CONT log level is added before the actual text of
the printed message.

This patch drops the powerpc-specific irq_map table and replaces it with
directly using the irq_alloc_desc()/irq_free_desc() interfaces for allocating
and freeing irq_desc structures.
This patch is a preparation step for generalizing the powerpc-specific virq
infrastructure to become irq_domains.
As part of this change, the irq_big_lock is changed to a mutex from a raw
spinlock. There is no longer any need to use a spin lock since the irq_desc
allocation code is now responsible for the critical section of finding
an unused range of irq numbers.
The radix lookup table is also changed to store the irq_data pointer instead
of the irq_map entry since the irq_map is removed. This should end up being
functionally equivalent since only allocated irq_descs are ever added to the
radix tree.
v5: - Really don't ever allocate virq 0. The previous version could still
do it if hint == 0
- Respect irq_virq_count setting for NOMAP. Some NOMAP domains cannot
use virq values above irq_virq_count.
- Use numa_node_id() when allocating irq_descs. Ideally the API should
obtain that value from the caller, but that touches a lot of call sites
so will be deferred to a follow-on patch.
- Fix irq_find_mapping() to include irq numbers lower than
NUM_ISA_INTERRUPTS. With the switch to irq_alloc_desc*(), the lowest
possible allocated irq is now returned by arch_probe_nr_irqs().
v4: - Fix incorrect access to irq_data structure in debugfs code
- Don't ever allocate virq 0

This patch drops the powerpc-specific irq_host structures and uses the common
irq_domain strucutres defined in linux/irqdomain.h. It also fixes all
the users to use the new structure names.
Renaming irq_host to irq_domain has been discussed for a long time, and this
patch is a step in the process of generalizing the powerpc virq code to be
usable by all architecture.
An astute reader will notice that this patch actually removes the irq_host
structure instead of renaming it. This is because the irq_domain structure
already exists in include/linux/irqdomain.h and has the needed data members.
