Since "Factor out cpu joining/unjoining the GIQ"
(b4963255ad) the WARN_ON in
xics_set_cpu_giq() is being triggered during boot on JS20 because the
GIQ indicator is not available on that platform. While the warning is
harmless and the system runs normally, it's nicer to check for the
existence of the indicator before trying to manipulate it.
Implement rtas_indicator_present(), which searches the
/rtas/rtas-indicators property for the given indicator token, and use
this function in xics_set_cpu_giq().
Also use a WARN statement in xics_set_cpu_giq to get better
information on failure.

An example calling sequence which we did see:
copy_user_highpage -> kmap_atomic -> flush_tlb_page -> _tlbil_va
We got interrupted after setting up the MAS registers before the
tlbwe and the interrupt handler that caused the interrupt also did
a kmap_atomic (ide code) and thus on returning from the interrupt
the MAS registers no longer contained the proper values.
Since we dont save/restore MAS registers for normal interrupts we
need to disable interrupts in _tlbil_va to ensure atomicity.

The initial TLB mapping for the kernel boot didn't set the memory coherent
attribute, MAS2[M], in SMP mode.
If this code supported booting a secondary processor, which it doesn't yet,
but if it did, then when a secondary processor boots, it would probably signal
the primary processor by setting a variable called something like
__secondary_hold_acknowledge. However, due to the lack of the M bit, the
primary processor would not snoop the transaction (even if a transaction were
broadcast). If primary CPU's L1 D-cache had a copy, it would not be flushed
and the CPU would never see the ack. Which would have resulted in the primary
CPU spinning for a long time, perhaps a full second before it gives up, while
it would have waited for the ack from the secondary CPU that it wouldn't have
been able to see because of the stale cache.
The value of MAS2 for the boot page TLB1 entry is a compile time constant,
so there is no need to calculate it in powerpc assembly language.
Also, from the MPC8572 manual section 6.12.5.3, "Bits that represent
offsets within a page are ignored and should be cleared." Existing code
didn't clear them, this code does.
The same when the page of KERNELBASE is found; we don't need to use asm to
mask the lower 12 bits off.
In the code that computes the address to rfi from, don't hard code the
offset to 24 bytes, but have the assembler figure that out for us.

It turns out that on Cell, on a kernel with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
= y, if a program sets the SO (summary overflow) bit in the XER and
then does a system call, the SO bit in CR0 will be set on return
regardless of whether the system call detected an error. Since CR0.SO
is used as the error indication from the system call, this means that
all system calls appear to fail.
The reason is that the workaround for the timebase bug on Cell uses a
compare instruction. With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING = y, the
ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY macro reads the timebase, so we end up doing a
compare instruction, which copies XER.SO to CR0.SO. Since we were
doing this in the system call entry patch after clearing CR0.SO but
before saving the CR, this meant that the saved CR image had CR0.SO
set if XER.SO was set on entry.
This fixes it by moving the clearing of CR0.SO to after the
ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY call in the system call entry path.

Currently the clock_gettime implementation in the VDSO produces a
result with microsecond resolution for the cases that are handled
without a system call, i.e. CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The
nanoseconds field of the result is obtained by computing a
microseconds value and multiplying by 1000.
This changes the code in the VDSO to do the computation for
clock_gettime with nanosecond resolution. That means that the
resolution of the result will ultimately depend on the timebase
frequency.
Because the timestamp in the VDSO datapage (stamp_xsec, the real time
corresponding to the timebase count in tb_orig_stamp) is in units of
2^-20 seconds, it doesn't have sufficient resolution for computing a
result with nanosecond resolution. Therefore this adds a copy of
xtime to the VDSO datapage and updates it in update_gtod() along with
the other time-related fields.

Currently, our PCI code uses the pcibios_fixup_bus() callback, which
is called by the generic code when probing PCI buses, for two
different things.
One is to set up things related to the bus itself, such as reading
bridge resources for P2P bridges, fixing them up, or setting up the
iommu's associated with bridges on some platforms.
The other is some setup for each individual device under that bridge,
mostly setting up DMA mappings and interrupts.
The problem is that this approach doesn't work well with PCI hotplug
when an existing bus is re-probed for new children. We fix this
problem by splitting pcibios_fixup_bus into two routines:
pcibios_setup_bus_self() is now called to setup the bus itself
pcibios_setup_bus_devices() is now called to setup devices
pcibios_fixup_bus() is then modified to call these two after reading the
bridge bases, and the OF based PCI probe is modified to avoid calling
into the first one when rescanning an existing bridge.

This unifies this in large part, by making 32-bit use a routine very
similar to what 64-bit does when initially scanning the PCI busses.
The actual setup of the PHB resources itself is then moved to a

This should cause no functional change on 64-bit. On 32-bit, the
effect is that the PHB resources are going to be setup a bit earlier,

After the merge of the 32 and 64bit DMA code, dma_direct_ops lost
their map/unmap_single() functions but gained map/unmap_page(). This
caused a problem for Cell because Cell's dma_iommu_fixed_ops called
the dma_direct_ops if the fixed linear mapping was to be used or the
iommu ops if the dynamic window was to be used. So in order to fix
this problem we need to update the 64bit DMA code to use
map/unmap_page.
First, we update the generic IOMMU code so that iommu_map_single()
becomes iommu_map_page() and iommu_unmap_single() becomes
iommu_unmap_page(). Then we propagate these changes up through all
the callers of these two functions and in the process update all the
dma_mapping_ops so that they have map/unmap_page rahter than
map/unmap_single. We can do this because on 64bit there is no HIGHMEM
memory so map/unmap_page ends up performing exactly the same function
as map/unmap_single, just taking different arguments.
This has no affect on drivers because the dma_map_single_attrs() just
ends up calling the map_page() function of the appropriate
dma_mapping_ops and similarly the dma_unmap_single_attrs() calls
unmap_page().
This fixes an oops on Cell blades, which oops on boot without this
because they call dma_direct_ops.map_single, which is NULL.

sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t

used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and
the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for
its current context to be saved). Thus the program will start
getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked.
This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in

The __kdump_flag ABI is overly constraining for future development.
As of 2.6.27, the kernel entry point has 4 constraints: Offset 0 is
the starting point for the master (boot) cpu (entered with r3 pointing
to the device tree structure), offset 0x60 is code for the slave cpus
(entered with r3 set to their device tree physical id), offset 0x20 is
used by the iseries hypervisor, and secondary cpus must be well behaved
when the first 256 bytes are copied to address 0.
Placing the __kdump_flag at 0x18 is bad because:
- It was taking the last 8 bytes before the iseries hypervisor data.
- It was 8 bytes for a boolean flag
- It had no way of identifying that the flag was present
- It does leave any room for the master to add any additional code
before branching, which hurts debug.
- It will be unnecessarily hard for 32 bit code to be common (8 bytes)
Now that we have eliminated the use of __kdump_flag in favor of
the standard is_kdump_kernel(), this flag only controls run without
relocating the kernel to PHYSICAL_START (0), so rename it __run_at_load.
Move the flag to 0x5c, 1 word before the secondary cpu entry point at
0x60. Initialize it with "run0" to say it will run at 0 unless it is
set to 1. It only exists if we are relocatable.

Commit 54622f10a6 ("powerpc: Support for

tell purgatory that it should be a panic kernel. This part is wrong
and is reverted by this commit.
The kernel gets a list of memory blocks and a entry point from user space.
Its job is to copy the blocks into place and then branch to the designated
entry point (after turning "off" the mmu).
The user space tool inserts a trampoline, called purgatory, that runs
before the user supplied code. Its job is to establish the entry
environment for the new kernel or other application based on the contents
of memory. The purgatory code is compiled and embedded in the tool,
where it is later patched using the elf symbol table using elf symbols.
Since the tool knows it is creating a purgatory that will run after a
kernel crash, it should just patch purgatory (or the kernel directly)
