Building callchain.c with !COMPAT proved quite ugly with all the
defines. Splitting out the 32bit and 64bit parts looks better.

No code change intended.

<content type='text'>
Most of the power processor generation performance monitoring
unit (PMU) driver code is bundled in the kernel and one of those
is enabled/registered based on the oprofile_cpu_type check at
the boot.

But things get little tricky incase of "compat" mode boot.
IBM POWER System Server based processors has a compactibility
mode feature, which simpily put is, Nth generation processor
(lets say POWER8) will act and appear in a mode consistent
with an earlier generation (N-1) processor (that is POWER7).
And in this "compat" mode boot, kernel modify the
"oprofile_cpu_type" to be Nth generation (POWER8). If Nth
generation pmu driver is bundled (POWER8), it gets registered.

Key dependency here is to have distro support for latest
processor performance monitoring support. Patch here adds
a generic "compat-mode" performance monitoring driver to
be register in absence of powernv platform specific pmu driver.

Driver supports only "cycles" and "instruction" events.
"0x0001e" used as event code for "cycles" and "0x00002"
used as event code for "instruction" events. New file
called "generic-compat-pmu.c" is created to contain the driver
specific code. And base raw event code format modeled
on PPMU_ARCH_207S.

<content type='text'>
Back when I added -Werror in commit ba55bd74360e ("powerpc: Add
configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc") I did it by adding it to most
of the arch Makefiles.

At the time we excluded math-emu, because apparently it didn't build
cleanly. But that seems to have been fixed somewhere in the interim.

So move the -Werror addition to the top-level of the arch, this saves
us from repeating it in every Makefile and means we won't forget to
add it to any new sub-dirs.

POWER4 has been broken since at least the change 49d09bf2a6
("powerpc/64s: Optimise MSR handling in exception handling"), which
requires mtmsrd L=1 support. This was introduced in ISA v2.01, and
POWER4 supports ISA v2.00.

<content type='text'>
In TLB miss handlers, updating the perf counter is only useful
when performing a perf analysis. As it has a noticeable overhead,
let's only do it when needed.

In order to do so, the exit of the miss handlers will be patched
when starting/stopping 'perf': the first register restore
instruction of each exit point will be replaced by a jump to
the counting code.

Once this is done, CONFIG_PPC_8xx_PERF_EVENT becomes useless as
this feature doesn't add any overhead.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Add support to register Nest In-Memory Collection PMU counters.
Patch adds a new device file called "imc-pmu.c" under powerpc/perf
folder to contain all the device PMU functions.

Device tree parser code added to parse the PMU events information
and create sysfs event attributes for the PMU.

Cpumask attribute added along with Cpu hotplug online/offline functions
specific for nest PMU. A new state "CPUHP_AP_PERF_POWERPC_NEST_IMC_ONLINE"
added for the cpu hotplug callbacks. Error handle path frees the memory
and unregisters the CPU hotplug callbacks.

<title>powerpc/8xx: Perf events on PPC 8xx</title>

<id>urn:sha1:75b824727680a9d12c34d78096a5ac642e53f5d0</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch has been reworked since RFC version. In the RFC, this patch
was preceded by a patch clearing MSR RI for all PPC32 at all time at
exception prologs. Now MSR RI clearing is done only when this 8xx perf
events functionality is compiled in, it is therefore limited to 8xx
and merged inside this patch.
Other main changes have been to take into account detailed review from
Peter Zijlstra. The instructions counter has been reworked to behave
as a free running counter like the three other counters.

The 8xx has no PMU, however some events can be emulated by other means.

This patch implements the following events (as reported by 'perf list'):
  cpu-cycles OR cycles				[Hardware event]
  instructions					[Hardware event]
  dTLB-load-misses				[Hardware cache event]
  iTLB-load-misses				[Hardware cache event]

'cycles' event is implemented using the timebase clock. Timebase clock
corresponds to CPU clock divided by 16, so number of cycles is
approximatly 16 times the number of TB ticks

On the 8xx, TLB misses are handled by software. It is therefore
easy to count all TLB misses each time the TLB miss exception is
called.

'instructions' is calculated by using instruction watchpoint counter.
This patch sets counter A to count instructions at address greater
than 0, hence we count all instructions executed while MSR RI bit is
set. The counter is set to the maximum which is 0xffff. Every 65535
instructions, debug instruction breakpoint exception fires. The
exception handler increments a counter in memory which then
represent the upper part of the instruction counter. We therefore
end up with a 48 bits counter. In order to avoid unnecessary overhead
while no perf event is active, this counter is started when the first
event referring to this counter is added, and the counter is stopped
when the last event referring to it is deleted. In order to properly
support breakpoint exceptions, MSR RI bit has to be unset in exception
epilogs in order to avoid breakpoint exceptions during critical
sections during changes to SRR0 and SRR1 would be problematic.

All counters are handled as free running counters.
