Alexander Graf 842f2fedcd Make head_64.S aware of KVM real mode code
We need to run some KVM trampoline code in real mode. Unfortunately, real mode
only covers 8MB on Cell so we need to squeeze ourselves as low as possible.

Also, we need to trap interrupts to get us back from guest state to host state
without telling Linux about it.

This patch adds interrupt traps and includes the KVM code that requires real
mode in the real mode parts of Linux.

Michael Ellerman cd01570717 powerpc: Enable sparse irq_descs on powerpc
Defining CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ enables generic code that gets rid of the
static irq_desc array, and replaces it with an array of pointers to
irq_descs.

It also allows node local allocation of irq_descs, however we
currently don't have the information available to do that, so we just
allocate them on all on node 0.

Michael Ellerman 750ab11291 powerpc: Rearrange and fix show_interrupts() for sparse irq_descs
Move the default case out of the if, ie. when we're just displaying
an irq. And consolidate all the odd cases at the top, ie. printing
the header and footer.

And in the process cope with sparse irq_descs.

David Gibson a4fe3ce769 powerpc/mm: Allow more flexible layouts for hugepage pagetables
Currently each available hugepage size uses a slightly different
pagetable layout: that is, the bottem level table of pointers to
hugepages is a different size, and may branch off from the normal page
tables at a different level.  Every hugepage aware path that needs to
walk the pagetables must therefore look up the hugepage size from the
slice info first, and work out the correct way to walk the pagetables
accordingly.  Future hardware is likely to add more possible hugepage
sizes, more layout options and more mess.

This patch, therefore reworks the handling of hugepage pagetables to
reduce this complexity.  In the new scheme, instead of having to
consult the slice mask, pagetable walking code can check a flag in the
PGD/PUD/PMD entries to see where to branch off to hugepage pagetables,
and the entry also contains the information (eseentially hugepage
shift) necessary to then interpret that table without recourse to the
slice mask.  This scheme can be extended neatly to handle multiple
levels of self-describing "special" hugepage pagetables, although for
now we assume only one level exists.

This approach means that only the pagetable allocation path needs to
know how the pagetables should be set out.  All other (hugepage)
pagetable walking paths can just interpret the structure as they go.

There already was a flag bit in PGD/PUD/PMD entries for hugepage
directory pointers, but it was only used for debug.  We alter that
flag bit to instead be a 0 in the MSB to indicate a hugepage pagetable
pointer (normally it would be 1 since the pointer lies in the linear
mapping).  This means that asm pagetable walking can test for (and
punt on) hugepage pointers with the same test that checks for
unpopulated page directory entries (beq becomes bge), since hugepage
pointers will always be positive, and normal pointers always negative.

While we're at it, we get rid of the confusing (and grep defeating)
#defining of hugepte_shift to be the same thing as mmu_huge_psizes.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 3d541c4b7f powerpc/chrp: Use the same RTAS daemon as pSeries
The CHRP code has some fishy timer based code to scan the RTAS event
log, which uses a 1KB stack buffer and doesn't even use the results.

The pSeries code as a nicer daemon that allows userspace to read the
event log and basically uses the same RTAS interface

This patch moves rtasd.c out of platform/pseries and makes it usable
by CHRP, after removing the old crufty event log mechanism in there.

The nvram logging part of the daemon is still only available on 64-bit
since the underlying nvram management routines aren't currently shared.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 4f917ba3d5 powerpc/ppc64: Use preempt_schedule_irq instead of preempt_schedule
Based on an original patch by Valentine Barshak <vbarshak@ru.mvista.com>

Use preempt_schedule_irq to prevent infinite irq-entry and
eventual stack overflow problems with fast-paced IRQ sources.

This kind of problems has been observed on the PASemi Electra IDE
controller. We have to make sure we are soft-disabled before calling
preempt_schedule_irq and hard disable interrupts after that
to avoid unrecoverable exceptions.

This patch also moves the "clrrdi r9,r1,THREAD_SHIFT" out of
the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E scope, since r9 is clobbered
and has to be restored in both cases.

The mod_return_to_handler needs to switch to the kernel TOC before
jumping to a the kernel code. It currently does this by looking

way.

When the function graph tracer is enabled, it replaces the return address
with a hook back to the tracer. This makes back traces see the hook instead
of the actual return address.

The current code also shows the real address by checking if the return
address jumps to the return_to_handler. If it is, is also prints out
the saved real return address.

On powerpc64, some modules may return to mod_return_to_handler, which
is not checked. This patch will also show the real address if a return
is to mod_return_to_handler as well.

Anton Blanchard 8bbde7a706 powerpc: Move 64bit heap above 1TB on machines with 1TB segments
If we are using 1TB segments and we are allowed to randomise the heap, we can
put it above 1TB so it is backed by a 1TB segment. Otherwise the heap will be
in the bottom 1TB which always uses 256MB segments and this may result in a
performance penalty.

This functionality is disabled when heap randomisation is turned off:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

which may be useful when trying to allocate the maximum amount of 16M or 16G
pages.

On a microbenchmark that repeatedly touches 32GB of memory with a stride of
256MB + 4kB (designed to stress 256MB segments while still mapping nicely into
the L1 cache), we see the improvement:

Force malloc to use heap all the time:
# export MALLOC_MMAP_MAX_=0 MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=-1

Disable heap randomization:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# time ./test
12.51s

Enable heap randomization:
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# time ./test
1.70s

Paul Mackerras a8f90e9067 perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename
This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code
where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were
missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry ->
group_entry, counter_list -> group_list").

This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of
contexts:

* Field and function names that deal with the limited-function
  counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is
  limited, not the events that they count.  Hence:

  MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS
  limited_event -> limited_counter
  freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters

* The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this
  renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how
  many hardware counters the machine has.  (Renaming this back avoids
  a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where
  they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

Ingo Molnar cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Paul Mackerras cd74c86bdf perf_counter, powerpc, sparc: Fix compilation after perf_counter_overflow() change
Commit 5622f295 ("x86, perf_counter, bts: Optimize BTS overflow
handling") removed the regs field from struct perf_sample_data and
added a regs parameter to perf_counter_overflow().  This breaks the
build on powerpc (and Sparc) as reported by Sachin Sant:

  arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c: In function 'record_and_restart':
  arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c:1165: error: unknown field 'regs' specified in initializer

This adjusts arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c to correspond with the
new struct perf_sample_data and perf_counter_overflow().

[ v2: also fix Sparc, Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> ]
