Currently we only set the "to" address in the branch stack when the CPU
explicitly gives us a value. Unfortunately it only does this for XL form
branches (eg blr, bctr, bctar) and not I and B form branches (eg b, bc).Fortunately if we read the instruction from memory we can extract the offset of
a branch and calculate the target address.This adds a function power_pmu_bhrb_to() to calculate the target/to address of
the corresponding I and B form branches. It handles branches in both user and
kernel spaces. It also plumbs this into the perf brhb reading code.Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling

The current Branch History Rolling Buffer (BHRB) code misinterprets the order
of entries in the hardware buffer. It assumes that a branch target address
will be read _after_ its corresponding branch. In reality the branch target
comes before (lower mfbhrb entry) it's corresponding branch.This is a rewrite of the code to take this into account.

The new Branch History Rolling buffer (BHRB) code is only useful on 64bit
processors, so move it into the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC64 region.This avoids code bloat on 32bit systems.

is no asm code using it. TIF_NOHZ is added to _TIF_SYCALL_T_OR_A, so it is

MSR_DE is not cleared on entry to the kernel, and we don't clear it
explicitly outside of debug code. If we have MSR_DE set in
prime_debug_regs(), and the new thread has events enabled in DBCR0
(e.g. ICMP is set in thread->dbsr0, even though it was cleared in the
real DBCR0 when the thread got scheduled out), we'll end up taking a
debug exception in the kernel when DBCR0 is loaded. DSRR0 will not
point to an exception vector, and the kernel ends up hanging at
kernel_dbg_exc. Fix this by always clearing MSR_DE when we load new
debug state.Another observed source of kernel_dbg_exc hangs is with the branch
taken event. If this event is active, but we take a non-debug trap
(e.g. a TLB miss or an asynchronous interrupt) before the next branch.
We end up taking a branch-taken debug exception on the initial branch
instruction of the exception vector, but because the debug exception is
DBSR_BT rather than DBSR_IC we branch to kernel_dbg_exc before even
checking the DSRR0 address. Fix this by checking for DBSR_BT as well
as DBSR_IC, which is what 32-bit does and what the comments suggest was
intended in the 64-bit code as well.Signed-off-by: Scott Wood

In function 'rtas_flash_init':

This patch brings online all threads which are present but not online
prior to migration/hibernation. After migration/hibernation those
threads are taken back offline.During migration/hibernation all online CPUs must call H_JOIN, this is
required by the hypervisor. Without this patch, threads that are offline
(H_CEDE'd) will not be woken to make the H_JOIN call and the OS will be
deadlocked (all threads either JOIN'd or CEDE'd).Cc:

ibm,validate-flash-image RTAS call output buffer contains 150 - 200
bytes of data on latest system. Presently we have output
buffer size as 64 bytes and we use sprintf to copy data from
RTAS buffer to local buffer. This causes kernel oops (see below
call trace).This patch increases local buffer size to 256 and also uses
snprintf instead of sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer.Kernel call trace :

commit b3f271e86e5a (powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and
enhanced prefetch) uses VMX when it is safe to do so (ie not in
interrupt). It also looks at the task struct to decide if we have to
save the current tasks' VMX state.kexec calls memcpy() at a point where the task struct may have been
overwritten by the new kexec segments. If it has been overwritten
then when memcpy -> enable_altivec looks up current->thread.regs->msr
we get a cryptic oops or lockup.I also notice we aren't initialising thread_info->cpu, which means
smp_processor_id is broken. Fix that too.Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard

Currently, race conditions exist in the handling of TLB interruptions in
entry.S. In particular, dirty bit updates can be lost if an accessed
interruption occurs just after the dirty bit interruption on a different
cpu. Lost dirty bit updates result in user pages not being flushed and
general system instability. This change adds lock and unlock macros to
synchronize all PTE and TLB updates done in entry.S. As a result,
userspace stability is significantly improved.Signed-off-by: John David Anglin

This patch fixes few build issues which were introduced with the last
irq stack patch, e.g. the combination of stack overflow check and irq
stack.Furthermore we now do proper locking and change the irq bh handler
to use the irq stack as well.In /proc/interrupts one now can monitor how huge the irq stack has grown
and how often it was preferred over the kernel stack.IRQ stacks are now enabled by default just to make sure that we not
overflow the kernel stack by accident.Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

- Improved platform support, in particular the Netlogic XLR and
BCM63xx, and the SEAD3 and Malta eval boards.- Support for several Ralink SOC families.
- Complete support for the microMIPS ASE which basically reencodes the
existing MIPS32/MIPS64 ISA to use non-constant size instructions.- Some fallout from LTO work which remove old cruft and will generally
make the MIPS kernel easier to maintain and resistant to compiler
optimization, even in absence of LTO.- KVM support. While MIPS has announced hardware virtualization
extensions this KVM extension uses trap and emulate mode for
virtualization of MIPS32. More KVM work to add support for VZ
hardware virtualizaiton extensions and MIPS64 will probably already
be merged for 3.11.Most of this has been sitting in -next for a long time. All defconfigs
have been build or run time tested except three for which fixes are being
