Use "Delta" to refer to the difference between measurements, rather than
"Error", so scripts that look for "Error" aren't confused into thinking
there was a failure.

This patch adds an OPAL console backend to the powerpc boot wrapper so
that decompression failures inside the wrapper can be reported to the
user. This is important since it typically indicates data corruption in
the firmware and other nasty things.
Currently this only works when building a little endian kernel. When
compiling a 64 bit BE kernel the wrapper is always build 32 bit to be
compatible with some 32 bit firmwares. BE support will be added at a
later date. Another limitation of this is that only the "raw" type of
OPAL console is supported, however machines that provide a hvsi console
also provide a raw console so this is not an issue in practice.

This patch adds the kernel command line parameter "no_tb_segs" which
forces the kernel to use 256MB rather than 1TB segments. Forcing the use
of 256MB segments makes it considerably easier to test code that depends
on an SLB miss occurring.

Power ISAv3 adds a large decrementer (LD) mode which increases the size
of the decrementer register. The size of the enlarged decrementer
register is between 32 and 64 bits with the exact size being dependent
on the implementation. When in LD mode, reads are sign extended to 64
bits and a decrementer exception is raised when the high bit is set (i.e
the value goes below zero). Writes however are truncated to the physical
register width so some care needs to be taken to ensure that the high
bit is not set when reloading the decrementer. This patch adds support
for using the LD inside the host kernel on processors that support it.
When LD mode is supported firmware will supply the ibm,dec-bits property
for CPU nodes to allow the kernel to determine the maximum decrementer
value. Enabling LD mode is a hypervisor privileged operation so the kernel
can only enable it manually when running in hypervisor mode. Guests that
support LD mode can request it using the "ibm,client-architecture-support"
firmware call (not implemented in this patch) or some other platform
specific method. If this property is not supplied then the traditional
decrementer width of 32 bit is assumed and LD mode will not be enabled.
This patch was based on initial work by Jack Miller.

cmm_mem_going_offline() is (only) called from cmm_memory_cb(), which
sends the return value through notifier_from_errno(). The latter
expects 0 or -errno (notifier_to_errno(notifier_from_errno(x)) is 0
for any x >= 0, so passing a positive value cannot make sense). Hence
negate ENOMEM.

If ppc_rtas() is called with args.nargs == 16 and args.nret == 0,
args.rets is set to point to &args.args[16], which is beyond the end of
the args.args array. This results in a minor read overrun of the array
when we check the first return code (which, per PAPR, is a required
output of all RTAS calls) to see if there's been a hardware error.
Change the nargs/nret check to ensure nargs is <= 15, allowing room for
the status code. Users shouldn't be calling with nret == 0, but there's
no real harm if they do, so we don't stop them.

Test that an ISA 3.0 compliant machine performing an unaligned copy,
copy_first, paste or paste_last is sent a SIGBUS.

Calling ISA 3.0 instructions copy, copy_first, paste and paste_last
generates an alignment fault when copying or pasting unaligned
data (128 byte). We catch this and send SIGBUS to the userspace
process that caused it.
We do not emulate these because paste may contain additional metadata
when pasting to a co-processor and paste_last is the synchronisation
point for preceding copy/paste sequences.
Thanks to Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> for his help.

Currently it doesn't appear the resulting binary actually uses any
Altivec or VSX instructions the solution is to explicitly tell GCC to
use vector instructions and use vector types in the code.
Part of this this issue can be GCC version specific:
GCC 4.9.x is happy to use Altivec and VSX instructions if altivec.h is
includedi (and possibly if vector types are used), this also means that
4.9.x will use VSX instructions even if only -maltivec is passed. It is
also possible that Altivec instructions will be used even without
-maltivec or -mabi=altivec.
GCC 5.2.x complains about the lack of -maltivec parameter if altivec.h
is included and will not use VSX unless -mvsx is present on commandline.
GCC 5.3.0 has a regression that means __attribute__((__target__("no-vsx"))
fails to build. A fix is targeted for 5.4.
Furthermore LTO (Link Time Optimisation) doesn't play well with
__attribute__((__target__("no-vsx")), LTO can cause GCC to forget about
the attribute and compile with VSX instructions regardless. Be wary when
enabling -flfo for this test.

Excerpt from man 2 perf_event_open:
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
The perf_event_paranoid file can be set to restrict access to the
performance counters.
2 allow only user-space measurements.
1 allow both kernel and user measurements (default).
0 allow access to CPU-specific data but not raw tracepoint samples.
-1 no restrictions.
require_paranoia_below() should return 0 if perf_event_paranoid is below
a specified level, the value from perf_event_paranoid is read into an
unsigned long so the incorrect value is returned when
perf_event_paranoid is set to -1.
Without this patch applied there is the same number of selftests/powerpc
which skip when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 1 or -1
but no skips when set to zero.
With this patch applied there are no skipped selftests/powerpc test when
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 0 or -1.
