Michael Ellerman 6b98f2bec5 powerpc/configs: Re-enable CONFIG_SCSI_DH
Commit 086b91d052 ("scsi_dh: integrate into the core SCSI code")
changed CONFIG_SCSI_DH from tristate to bool.

Our defconfigs have CONFIG_SCSI_DH=m, which the kconfig machinery warns
us is invalid, but instead of converting it to =y it leaves it unset.
This means we loose the CONFIG_SCSI_DH code and everything that depends
on it.

So convert the values in the defconfigs to =y.

Fixes: 086b91d052 ("scsi_dh: integrate into the core SCSI code")

Vasant Hegde d690740f22 powerpc/powernv: Enable LEDS support
Commit 84ad6e5c added LEDS support for PowerNV platform. Lets
update ppc64_defconfig to pick LEDS driver.

PowerNV LEDS driver looks for "/ibm,opal/leds" node in device
tree and loads if this node exists. Hence added it as 'm'.

Also note that powernv LEDS driver needs NEW_LEDS and LEDS_CLASS
as well. Hence added them to config file.

mpe: Also add them to pseries_defconfig, which is currently also used
for powernv systems.

Vaibhav Jain e0ad784b65 powerpc/pseries: enable RTC class support
A working rtc kernel driver is needed so that hwclock can synchronize
system clock to rtc during shutdown/boot. We already have a powernv
platform rtc driver located at drivers/rtc/rtc-opal.c. However it depends
on CONFIG_RTC_CLASS which is disabled by default. Hence the driver isn't
enabled and not compiled for the powernv kernel.

We fix this by enabling rtc class support in pseries defconfig which
enables this driver and compiles it into the pseries kernel. In case
CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV is not enabled we fallback to 'Generic RTC support'
driver which emulates the legacy 'PC RTC driver'.

Cyril Bur a1c97df278 powerpc/configs: Merge pseries_defconfig and pseries_le_defconfig
These two configs should be identical with the exception of big or little
endian.

The big endian version has XMON_DEFAULT turned on while the little endian
has XMON_DEFAULT not set. It makes the most sense for defconfigs not to use
xmon by default, production systems should get back up as quickly as
possible, not sit in xmon.

In the event debugging is required, the option can be enabled or xmon=on
can be specified on commandline.

Michael Ellerman a85cade676 powerpc: Update all configs using savedefconfig
It looks like it's ~4 years since we updated some of these, so do a bulk
update.

Verified that the before and after generated configs are exactly the
same.

Which begs the question why update them? The answer is that it can be
confusing when the stored defconfig drifts too far from the generated
result.

Michael Neuling b92a66a65c powerpc: Add denormalisation exception handling for POWER6/7
On POWER6 and POWER7 if the input operand to an instruction is a
denormalised single precision binary floating point value we can take
a denormalisation exception where it's expected that the hypervisor
(HV=1) will fix up the inputs before the instruction is run.

This adds code to handle this denormalisation exception for POWER6 and
POWER7.

It also add a CONFIG_PPC_DENORMALISATION option and sets it in
pseries/ppc64_defconfig.

This is useful on bare metal systems only.  Based on patch from Milton

Daniel Lezcano a77aea9201 cgroup: remove the ns_cgroup
The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

  * cgroup creation is out-of-control
  * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
  * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
    namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
  * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

  The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
  where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
  The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
  the 'tasks' file.

This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

This is a userspace-visible change.  Commit 45531757b4 ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal.  Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED can cause issues with newer distros and should not
be required for any distro in the last 3 or 4 years, so disable it.

Michael Neuling 40a5a4435f powerpc: Build-in e1000e for pseries & ppc64_defconfig
The e1000e device is becoming more common these days, so let's just
build it in for pseries & ppc64_defconfig.

Anton Blanchard b926a88a7b powerpc: Reduce differences between pseries and ppc64 defconfigs
The pseries and ppc64 defconfigs have drifted apart over the years. Reduce
some of the differences while still keeping the idea that the ppc64 defconfig
is cross platform but enables fewer features than pseries, eg NR_CPUS is
lower.

Also enable a number of common adapters as modules.

Anton Blanchard 030bdc3fd0 powerpc/defconfigs: Set HZ=100 on pseries and ppc64 defconfigs
Now we have high res timers there is less of a reason for a high HZ value.
Furthermore I think there a few reasons we should reduce HZ to 100:

- Timer interrupt overhead. While this overhead is small, there are
  applications that are very sensitive to jitter (eg some HPC apps).

- Issues with the timer wheel code. When coming out of NO_HZ idle we work our
  way through the timer code one tick at a time.  If we have been idle a long
  time, this adds up - I sometimes see milliseconds of time spent in that
  loop.

  Long term we should fix the timer wheel algorithm, but for now if we reduce
  HZ then we reduce the amount of work the timer code has to do when coming
  out of idle.
