When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

Currently significant amount of memory is reserved only in kernel booted
to capture kernel dump using the fa_dump method.
Kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT will initialize
only certain size memory per node. The certain size takes into account
the dentry and inode cache sizes. Currently the cache sizes are
calculated based on the total system memory including the reserved
memory. However such a kernel when booting the same kernel as fadump
kernel will not be able to allocate the required amount of memory to
suffice for the dentry and inode caches. This results in crashes like
Hence only implement arch_reserved_kernel_pages() for CONFIG_FA_DUMP

the large caches and will avoid crashes like the below on large systems

Currently the MSR TM bit is always set if the hardware is TM capable.
This adds extra overhead as it means the TM SPRS (TFHAR, TEXASR and
TFAIR) must be swapped for each process regardless of if they use TM.
For processes that don't use TM the TM MSR bit can be turned off
allowing the kernel to avoid the expensive swap of the TM registers.
A TM unavailable exception will occur if a thread does use TM and the
kernel will enable MSR_TM and leave it so for some time afterwards.

Make the structures being used for checkpointed state named
consistently with the pt_regs/ckpt_regs.
Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
There is currently an inconsistency as to how the entire CPU register
state is saved and restored when a thread uses transactional memory
(TM).
Using transactional memory results in the CPU having duplicated
(almost) all of its register state. This duplication results in a set
of registers which can be considered 'live', those being currently
modified by the instructions being executed and another set that is
frozen at a point in time.
On context switch, both sets of state have to be saved and (later)
restored. These two states are often called a variety of different
things. Common terms for the state which only exists after the CPU has
entered a transaction (performed a TBEGIN instruction) in hardware are
'transactional' or 'speculative'.
Between a TBEGIN and a TEND or TABORT (or an event that causes the
hardware to abort), regardless of the use of TSUSPEND the
transactional state can be referred to as the live state.
The second state is often to referred to as the 'checkpointed' state
and is a duplication of the live state when the TBEGIN instruction is
executed. This state is kept in the hardware and will be rolled back
to on transaction failure.
Currently all the registers stored in pt_regs are ALWAYS the live
registers, that is, when a thread has transactional registers their
values are stored in pt_regs and the checkpointed state is in
ckpt_regs. A strange opposite is true for fp_state/vr_state. When a
thread is non transactional fp_state/vr_state holds the live
registers. When a thread has initiated a transaction fp_state/vr_state
holds the checkpointed state and transact_fp/transact_vr become the
structure which holds the live state (at this point it is a
transactional state).
This method creates confusion as to where the live state is, in some
circumstances it requires extra work to determine where to put the
live state and prevents the use of common functions designed (probably
before TM) to save the live state.
With this patch pt_regs, fp_state and vr_state all represent the
same thing and the other structures [pending rename] are for
checkpointed state.

Much of the signal code takes a pt_regs on which it operates. Over
time the signal code has needed to know more about the thread than
what pt_regs can supply, this information is obtained as needed by
using 'current'.
This approach is not strictly incorrect however it does mean that
there is now a hard requirement that the pt_regs being passed around
does belong to current, this is never checked. A safer approach is for
the majority of the signal functions to take a task_struct from which
they can obtain pt_regs and any other information they need. The
caveat that the task_struct they are passed must be current doesn't go
away but can more easily be checked for.
Functions called from outside powerpc signal code are passed a pt_regs
and they can confirm that the pt_regs is that of current and pass
current to other functions, furthurmore, powerpc signal functions can
check that the task_struct they are passed is the same as current
avoiding possible corruption of current (or the task they are passed)
if this assertion ever fails.

After a thread is reclaimed from its active or suspended transactional
state the checkpointed state exists on CPU, this state (along with the
live/transactional state) has been saved in its entirety by the
reclaiming process.
There exists a sequence of events that would cause the kernel to call
one of enable_kernel_fp(), enable_kernel_altivec() or
enable_kernel_vsx() after a thread has been reclaimed. These functions
save away any user state on the CPU so that the kernel can use the
registers. Not only is this saving away unnecessary at this point, it
is actually incorrect. It causes a save of the checkpointed state to
the live structures within the thread struct thus destroying the true
live state for that thread.

giveup_all() causes FPU/VMX/VSX facilities to be disabled in a threads
MSR. If the thread performing the giveup was transactional, the kernel
must record which facilities were in use before the giveup as the
thread must have these facilities re-enabled on return to userspace.
>From process.c:
/*
* This is called if we are on the way out to userspace and the

Calling check_if_tm_restore_required() will set TIF_RESTORE_TM and

restore_math() restore_fp() and restore_altivec() currently may not
restore the registers. It doesn't appear that this is more serious
than a performance penalty. If the math registers aren't restored the
userspace thread will still be run with the facility disabled.
Userspace will not be able to read invalid values. On the first access
it will take an facility unavailable exception and the kernel will
detected an active transaction, at which point it will abort the
transaction. There is the possibility for a pathological case
preventing any progress by transactions, however, transactions
are never guaranteed to make progress.

This is not an exception handler as such, it's called from
