Thomas Gleixner b8f8c3cf0a nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop
Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:

	scheduler switch to idle task
	enable interrupts

Window starts here

	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
	      	irq_exit() stops the tick

	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)

	return from schedule()
	
	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();

Window ends here

The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.

The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.

Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.

cpu_idle()
{
	preempt_disable();

	while(1) {
		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
		 			          are in the idle loop

		 while (!need_resched())
		       halt();

		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
		 schedule();
		 preempt_disable();
	}
}

In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... 

/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 50c9bc2fc8 [POWERPC] fix iSeries PCI resource management
The way iSeries manages PCI IO and Memory resources is a bit strange
and is based on overriding the content of those resources with home
cooked ones afterward.

This changes it a bit to better integrate with the new resource handling
so that the "virtual" tokens that iSeries replaces resources with are
done from the proper per-device fixup hook, and bridge resources are
set to enclose that token space.  This fixes various things such as
the output of /proc/iomem & ioports, among others.  This also fixes up
various boot messages as well.

Tony Breeds 71712b4553 [POWERPC] Move iSeries_tb_recal into its own late_initcall.
Currently iSeries will recalibrate the cputime_factors in the first
settimeofday() call.

It seems the reason for doing this is to ensure a resaonable time delta after
time_init().  On current kernels (with udev), this call is made 40-60 seconds
into the boot process, by moving it to a late initcall it is called
approximately 5 seconds after time_init() is called.  This is sufficient to
recalibrate the timebase.

Paul Mackerras 974a76f513 [POWERPC] Distinguish POWER6 partition modes and tell userspace
This adds code to look at the properties firmware puts in the device
tree to determine what compatibility mode the partition is in on
POWER6 machines, and set the ELF aux vector AT_HWCAP and AT_PLATFORM
entries appropriately.

Specifically, we look at the cpu-version property in the cpu node(s).
If that contains a "logical" PVR value (of the form 0x0f00000x), we
call identify_cpu again with this PVR value.  A value of 0x0f000001
indicates the partition is in POWER5+ compatibility mode, and a value
of 0x0f000002 indicates "POWER6 architected" mode, with various
extensions disabled.  We also look for various other properties:
ibm,dfp, ibm,purr and ibm,spurr.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 4cb3cee03d [POWERPC] Allow hooking of PCI MMIO & PIO accessors on 64 bits
This patch reworks the way iSeries hooks on PCI IO operations (both MMIO
and PIO) and provides a generic way for other platforms to do so (we
have need to do that for various other platforms).

While reworking the IO ops, I ended up doing some spring cleaning in
io.h and eeh.h which I might want to split into 2 or 3 patches (among
others, eeh.h had a lot of useless stuff in it).

A side effect is that EEH for PIO should work now (it used to pass IO
ports down to the eeh address check functions which is bogus).

Also, new are MMIO "repeat" ops, which other archs like ARM already had,
and that we have too now: readsb, readsw, readsl, writesb, writesw,
writesl.

In the long run, I might also make EEH use the hooks instead
of wrapping at the toplevel, which would make things even cleaner and
relegate EEH completely in platforms/iseries, but we have to measure the
performance impact there (though it's really only on MMIO reads)

Since I also need to hook on ioremap, I shuffled the functions a bit
there. I introduced ioremap_flags() to use by drivers who want to pass
explicit flags to ioremap (and it can be hooked). The old __ioremap() is
still there as a low level and cannot be hooked, thus drivers who use it
should migrate unless they know they want the low level version.

The patch "arch provides generic iomap missing accessors" (should be
number 4 in this series) is a pre-requisite to provide full iomap
API support with this patch.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 42c4aaadb7 [POWERPC] Consolidate feature fixup code
There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the
feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In
addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations
for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and
separately for 32 and 64 bits.

This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are
slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from
assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any
problem.

Michael Ellerman 41999295b6 [POWERPC] Move iSeries initrd logic into device tree
Remove the iSeries initrd logic, instead just store the initrd location and
size in the device tree so generic code can do the rest for us.

The iSeries code had a "feature" which the generic code lacks, ie. if the
compressed initrd is bigger than the configured ram disk size, we make
the ram disk size bigger. That's bogus, as the compressed size of the initrd
tells us nothing about how big the ram disk needs to be. If the ram disk
isn't big enough you just need to make CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE larger.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0ebfff1491 [POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it
This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one.  Because
there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value
of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus),
etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code
over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later
in bisecting).

This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt
tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber
interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the
new code now.

For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is
created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt
presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match
any device node that isn't a 8259.  That works fine on pSeries and
avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source
controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees.

The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt
range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node
(including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help
porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't
have a proper interrupt tree.

We currently do mem= handling in three seperate places. And as benh pointed out
I wrote two of them. Now that we parse command line parameters earlier we can
clean this mess up.

Moving the parsing out of prom_init means the device tree might be allocated
above the memory limit. If that happens we'd have to move it. As it happens
we already have logic to do that for kdump, so just genericise it.

This also means we might have reserved regions above the memory limit, if we
do the bootmem allocator will blow up, so we have to modify
lmb_enforce_memory_limit() to truncate the reserves as well.

Michael Ellerman a9ea2101aa [PATCH] powerpc: iseries: Remove pointless iSeries_(restart|power_off|halt)
These routines just call through to the mf routines, so point ppc_md straight
at the mf routines. We need to pass the cmd through to mf_reboot to make it
work, but that seems reasonable.

Michael Ellerman 260de22faa [PATCH] powerpc: iseries: mf related cleanups
Some cleanups in the iSeries code.
 - Make mf_display_progress() check mf_initialized rather than the caller.
 - Set mf_initialized in mf_init() rather than in setup.c
 - Then move mf_initialized into mf.c, the only place it's used.
 - Move the mf related logic from iSeries_progress() to mf_display_progress()
 - Use a #define to size the pending_event_prealloc array
 - Use that define in the initialsation loop rather than sizeof jiggery pokery
 - Remove stupid comment(s)
 - Mark stuff static and/or __init

Michael Ellerman 57cfb814f6 [PATCH] powerpc: Replace platform_is_lpar() with a firmware feature
It has been decreed that platform numbers are evil, so as a step in that
direction, replace platform_is_lpar() with a FW_FEATURE_LPAR bit.

Currently FW_FEATURE_LPAR really means i/pSeries LPAR, in the future we might
have to clean that up if we need to be more specific about what LPAR actually
means. But that's another patch ...

Anton Blanchard cb2c9b2741 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix runlatch performance issues
The runlatch SPR can take a lot of time to write. My original runlatch
code would set it on every exception entry even though most of the time
this was not required. It would also continually set it in the idle
loop, which is an issue on an SMT capable processor.

Now we cache the runlatch value in a threadinfo bit, and only check for
it in decrementer and hardware interrupt exceptions as well as the idle
loop. Boot on POWER3, POWER5 and iseries, and compile tested on pmac32.
