A ioport setting was needed when used the QE uart function on TWR-P1025.
Added a conditional definition to avoid missing this setting when the
QE-uart driver was bulit to a module.

We observe a "Zero PT_NOTE entries found" warning when vmcore_init()
is running on the dump-capture kernel. Actually the PT_NOTE segments
is not empty, but the entries generated by crash_save_cpu() are not
flushed to the memory before we reset these cores. So we should flush
the l1 cache as what we do in cpu hotplug. With this change, we can
also kill the mpc85xx_smp_flush_dcache_kexec() since that becomes
unnecessary.
Please note: this only fix the issue on e500 core, we still need to
implement the function to flush the l2 cache for the e500mc core.
Fortunately we already had proposing patch for this support [1].
Hope we can fix this issue for e500mc after that merged.

This patch implements PAGE_EXEC capability on the 8xx.
All pages PP exec bits are set to 000, which means Execute for
Supervisor and no Execute for User.
Then we use the APG to say whether accesses are according to Page
rules, "all Supervisor" rules (Exec for all) and
"all User" rules (Exec for noone)
Therefore, we define 4 APG groups. msb is _PAGE_EXEC,
lsb is _PAGE_USER. MI_AP is initialised as follows:
GP0 (00) => Not User, no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user)
GP1 (01) => User but no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user)
GP2 (10) => Not User, exec => 01 (rights according to page definition)
GP3 (11) => User, exec => 00 (all accesses performed as supervisor)

Use of APG for handling PAGE_USER.
All pages PP exec bits are set to either 000 or 011, which means
respectively RW for Supervisor and no access for User, or RO for
Supervisor and no access for user.
Then we use the APG to say whether accesses are according to
Page rules or "all Supervisor" rules (Access to all)
Therefore, we define 2 APG groups corresponding to _PAGE_USER.
Mx_AP are initialised as follows:
GP0 => No user => 01 (all accesses performed according
to page definition)
GP1 => User => 00 (all accesses performed as supervisor
according to page definition)
This removes the special 8xx handling in pte_update()

By default, TASK_SIZE is set to 0x80000000 for PPC_8xx, which is most
likely sufficient for most cases. However, kernel configuration allows
to set TASK_SIZE to another value, so the 8xx shall handle it.
This patch also takes into account the case of PAGE_OFFSET lower than
0x80000000, allthought most of the time it is equal to 0xC0000000

CR only needs to be preserved when checking if we are handling a kernel address.
So we can preserve CR in a register:
- In ITLBMiss, check is done only when CONFIG_MODULES is defined. Otherwise we
don't need to do anything at all with CR.
- We use r10, then we reload SRR0/MD_EPN into r10 when CR is restored

It turns out that existing U-Boots will dereference NULL pointers
if the device tree does not have cell-index in the portal nodes.
No patch has yet been merged adding device tree nodes for this binding
(except a dtsi that has not yet been referenced), nor has any driver
yet been merged making use of the binding, so it's not too late to
change the binding in order to keep compatibility with existing

Previously, dma_set_mask() on powernv was convoluted:
0) Call dma_set_mask() (a/p/kernel/dma.c)
1) In dma_set_mask(), ppc_md.dma_set_mask() exists, so call it.
2) On powernv, that function pointer is pnv_dma_set_mask().
In pnv_dma_set_mask(), the device is pci, so call pnv_pci_dma_set_mask().
3) In pnv_pci_dma_set_mask(), call pnv_phb->set_dma_mask() if it exists.
4) It only exists in the ioda case, where it points to
pnv_pci_ioda_dma_set_mask(), which is the final function.
So the call chain is:
dma_set_mask() ->
pnv_dma_set_mask() ->
pnv_pci_dma_set_mask() ->
pnv_pci_ioda_dma_set_mask()
Both ppc_md and pnv_phb function pointers are used.
Rip out the ppc_md call, pnv_dma_set_mask() and pnv_pci_dma_set_mask().
Instead:
0) Call dma_set_mask() (a/p/kernel/dma.c)
1) In dma_set_mask(), the device is pci, and pci_controller_ops.dma_set_mask()
exists, so call pci_controller_ops.dma_set_mask()
2) In the ioda case, that points to pnv_pci_ioda_dma_set_mask().
The new call chain is
dma_set_mask() ->
pnv_pci_ioda_dma_set_mask()
Now only the pci_controller_ops function pointer is used.
The fallback paths for p5ioc2 are the same.
Previously, pnv_pci_dma_set_mask() would find no pnv_phb->set_dma_mask()
function, to it would call __set_dma_mask().
Now, dma_set_mask() finds no ppc_md call or pci_controller_ops call,
so it calls __set_dma_mask().

Move the Cell platform to use the pci_controller_ops structure rather
than ppc_md for MSI related PCI controller operations.
We can be confident that the functions will be added to the platform's
ops struct before any PCI controller's ops struct is populated
because:
1) These ops are added to the struct in a subsys initcall.
We populate the ops in axon_msi_probe, which is the probe call for the
axon-msi driver. However the driver is registered in axon_msi_init,
which is a subsys initcall, so this will happen at the subsys level.
2) The controller recieves the struct later, in a device initcall.
Cell populates the controller in cell_setup_phb, which is hooked up to
ppc_md.pci_setup_phb. ppc_md.pci_setup_phb is only ever called in
of_platform.c, as part of the OpenFirmware PCI driver's probe
routine. That driver is registered in a device initcall, so it will
occur *after* the struct is properly populated.

Whenever an interrupt is received for opal the linux kernel gets a
bitfield indicating certain events that have occurred and need handling
by the various device drivers. Currently this is handled using a
notifier interface where we call every device driver that has
registered to receive opal events.
This approach has several drawbacks. For example each driver has to do
its own checking to see if the event is relevant as well as event
masking. There is also no easy method of recording the number of times
we receive particular events.
This patch solves these issues by exposing opal events via the
standard interrupt APIs by adding a new interrupt chip and
domain. Drivers can then register for the appropriate events using
standard kernel calls such as irq_of_parse_and_map().

Most of the OPAL subsystems are always compiled in for PowerNV and

Fastsleep is one of the idle state which cpuidle subsystem currently
uses on power8 machines. In this state L2 cache is brought down to a
threshold voltage. Therefore when the core is in fastsleep, the
communication between L2 and L3 needs to be fenced. But there is a bug
in the current power8 chips surrounding this fencing.
OPAL provides a workaround which precludes the possibility of hitting
this bug. But running with this workaround applied causes checkstop
if any correctable error in L2 cache directory is detected. Hence OPAL
also provides a way to undo the workaround.
In the existing implementation, workaround is applied by the last thread
of the core entering fastsleep and undone by the first thread waking up.
But this has a performance cost. These OPAL calls account for roughly
4000 cycles everytime the core has to enter or wakeup from fastsleep.
This patch introduces a sysfs attribute (fastsleep_workaround_applyonce)
to choose the behavior of this workaround.
By default, fastsleep_workaround_applyonce = 0. In this case, workaround
is applied/undone everytime the core enters/exits fastsleep.
fastsleep_workaround_applyonce = 1. In this case the workaround is
applied once on all the cores and never undone. This can be triggered by
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/fastsleep_workaround_applyonce
For simplicity this attribute can be modified only once. Implying, once
fastsleep_workaround_applyonce is changed to 1, it cannot be reverted
to the default state.

Currently, cpu_online_cores_map returns a mask, which for every core with
at least one online thread, has the bit for thread 0 of the core set to 1,
and the bits for all other threads of the core set to 0. But thread 0 of
the core itself may not be online always. In such cases, if the returned
mask is used for IPI, then it'll cause IPIs to be skipped on cores where
the first thread is offline, because the IPI code refuses to send IPIs to
offline threads.
Fix this by setting the bit of the first online thread in the core.
This is done by fixing this in the underlying function
cpu_thread_mask_to_cores.
The result has the property that for all cores with online threads, there
is one bit set in the returned map. And further, all bits that are set in
the returned map correspond to online threads.

The commit 8170a83f15ee ("powerpc: Wireup the kcmp syscall to sys_ni") has
disabled the kcmp syscall for powerpc. This has been done due to the use
of unsigned long parameters which may require a dedicated wrapper to handle
32bit process on top of 64bit kernel. However in the kcmp() case, the 2
unsigned long parameters are currently only used to carry file descriptors
from user space to the kernel. Since such a parameter is passed through
register, and file descriptor doesn't need to get extended, there is,
today, no need for a wrapper.
In the case there will be a need to pass address in or out of this system
call, then a wrapper could be required, it will then be to care of it.
As today this is not the case, it is safe to enable kcmp() on powerpc.
Tested (by Laurent) on 64-bit, 32-bit, and 32-bit userspace on 64-bit
kernel using tools/testing/selftests/kcmp [mpe].
