The pseries firmware currently refuses any non power of two MSI-X
request. Unfortunately most network drivers end up asking for that
because they want a power of two for RX queues and one or two extra
for everything else.
This patch rounds up the firmware request to the next power of two
if the quota allows it. If this fails we fall back to using the
original request size.

When PCI probe flag PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_RSRC has been passed into PCI
core, it's hoped that all resources to be reassigned by PCI core.
As to particular P2P (PCI-to-PCI) bridge, the size of the corresponding
BAR (I/O, MMIO, prefetchable MMIO) is calculated by the resources
required by the PCI devices behind the P2P bridge. That means that
the information like start/end address retrieved from the hardware
registers of the P2P bridge is meainingless in the case. However,
we still count that in and the BARs might have been configured by
firmware with non-zero size. That leads to space waste.
The patch explicitly sets the size of P2P bridge BARs to zero in
case that resource reassignment is expected with PCI probe flag
PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_RSRC. In the result, it will save overall resource
required by the system without waste.

patch_instruction() can be called very early on ppc32, when the kernel
isn't yet running at it's linked address. That can cause the !
is_kernel_addr() test in __put_user() to trip and call might_sleep()
which is very bad at that point during boot.
Use a lower level function instead for now, at least until we get to
rework ppc32 boot process to do the code patching later, like ppc64
does.

We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more
generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and
continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This
happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote()
is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in
smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in
scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in
smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see
the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing
for it to do.
In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule()
is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(),
this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux().
The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that
there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and
scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than
xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers.
Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that
ipi_message is not just accessed locally.
This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the
cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations.
Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had
a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO
store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases.
These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as
measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on
different cores of a POWER7 machine.
The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly
is due to Milton Miller.

During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value.
If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management
(ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while
the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value.
Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread
DSCR as required.
This was found with the following test case, when running with
more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching):
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c
With the four patches applied I can run a combination of all
test cases successfully at the same time:

If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in
copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore
future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is
a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit.
We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from
the parent which ends up being much simpler.

When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via
a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr.
We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is
a period where thread.dscr is incorrect.
If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr
into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with
reality.

Writing to dscr_default in sysfs doesn't actually change the DSCR -
we rely on a context switch on each CPU to do the work. There is no
guarantee we will get a context switch in a reasonable amount of time
so fire off an IPI to force an immediate change.

The CPU hotplug code for the powernv platform currently only puts
offline CPUs into nap mode if the powersave_nap variable is set.
However, HV-style KVM on this platform requires secondary CPU threads
to be offline and in nap mode. Since we know nap mode works just
fine on all POWER7 machines, and the only machines that support the
powernv platform are POWER7 machines, this changes the code to
always put offline CPUs into nap mode, regardless of powersave_nap.
Powersave_nap still controls whether or not CPUs go into nap mode
when idle, as before.

At the moment the handler for hypervisor decrementer interrupts is
the same as for decrementer interrupts, i.e. timer_interrupt().
This is bogus; if we ever do get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt
it won't have anything to do with the next timer event. In fact
the only time we get hypervisor decrementer interrupts is when one
is left pending on exit from a KVM guest.
When we get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt we don't need to do
anything special to clear it, since they are edge-triggered on the
transition of HDEC from 0 to -1. Thus this adds an empty handler
function for them. We don't need to have them masked when interrupts
are soft-disabled, so we use STD_EXCEPTION_HV instead of
MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_HV.

Embedded.Hypervisor category defines GSPRG0..3 physical registers for guests.
Avoid SPRG4-7 usage as scratch in host exception handlers, otherwise guest
SPRG4-7 registers will be clobbered.
For bolted TLB miss exception handlers, which is the version currently
supported by KVM, use SPRN_SPRG_GEN_SCRATCH aka SPRG0 instead of
SPRN_SPRG_TLB_SCRATCH aka SPRG6. Keep using TLB PACA slots to fit in one
64-byte cache line.
For critical exception handlers use SPRG3 instead of SPRG7. Provide a routine
to store and restore user-visible SPRGs. This will be subsequently used
to restore VDSO information in SPRG3. Add EX_R13 to paca slots to free up
SPRG3 and change the critical exception epilog to use it.

Refactor exception prolog to get rid of mfspr srr1 duplicate. This was
introduced by KVM integration, with DO_KVM macro logic expecting srr1 value
earlier in r11.
Reserve r11 to hold srr1's value also required at the end of the prolog and
free up r10 to serve as spare in addition macros.
For syscalls case this change does not add any performance penalty. For irq
soft-disabled case the change adds a store/load of conditional register value
to/from a paca slot. Paca slots fit in one 64-byte cache line so these
additional operations have little impact on performance.

We have an old FIXME in reg.h which points out that we should standardise
on PVR_foo for our PVR #defines. Currently we use PVR_ on 32-bit and PV_
on 64-bit.
So do that rename and remove the FIXME.
Seeing as we're touching all but one usage of __is_processor(), rename it
to something less ugly and more indicative of what it does, which is
simply to check the PVR version.

For certain speculative events on Power7, 'perf stat' reports far higher
event count than 'perf record' for the same event.
As described in following commit, a performance monitor exception is raised
even when the the performance events are rolled back.
commit 0837e3242c73566fc1c0196b4ec61779c25ffc93
Author: Anton Blanchard <[email protected]>
Date: Wed Mar 9 14:38:42 2011 +1100
perf_event_interrupt() records an event only when an overflow occurs. But
this check for overflow is a simple 'if (val < 0)'.
Because the events are rolled back, this check for overflow fails and the
event is not recorded. perf_event_interrupt() later uses pmc_overflow() to
detect the overflow and resets the counters and the events are lost completely.
To properly detect the overflow of rolled back events, use pmc_overflow()
even when recording events.
To reproduce:
$ cat strcpy.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
main()
{
char buf[256];
alarm(5);
while(1)
strcpy(buf, "string1");
}
$ perf record -e r20014 ./strcpy
$ perf report -n > report.1
$ perf stat -e r20014 > report.2
# Compare report.1 and report.2
