This patch converts PowerPC's architecture-specific
'pcibios_set_master()' routine to a non-inlined function. This will
allow follow on patches to create a generic 'pcibios_set_master()'
function using the '__weak' attribute which can be used by all
architectures as a default which, if necessary, can then be over-
ridden by architecture-specific code.Converting 'pci_bios_set_master()' to a non-inlined function will
allow PowerPC's 'pcibios_set_master()' implementation to remain
architecture-specific after the generic version is introduced and
thus, not change current behavior.No functional change.

Commit 2a95ea6c0d129b4 ("procfs: do not overflow get_{idle,iowait}_time
for nohz") did not take into account that one some architectures jiffies
and cputime use different units.This causes get_idle_time() to return numbers in the wrong units, making
the idle time fields in /proc/stat wrong.Instead of converting the usec value returned by
get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us to units of jiffies, use the new function
usecs_to_cputime64 to convert it to the correct unit of cputime64_t.Signed-off-by: Andreas Schwab

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.Cc: Haavard Skinnemoen

The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based
on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This
approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size
is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used
currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method.The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the
dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series.This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for
platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with
smaller TLB size).Changes since v3:

renamed msecs_to_cputime to usecs_to_cputime, but failed to update all

displayed in /proc/stat (the only user of usecs_to_cputime so far).This also renames __cputime_msec_factor to __cputime_usec_factor, adapting
its value and using it directly in cputime_to_usecs instead of doing two

PPC64 uses long long for u64 in the kernel, but powerpc's asm/types.h
prevents 64-bit userland from seeing this definition, instead defaulting
to u64 == long in userspace. Some user programs (e.g. kvmtool) may actually
want LL64, so this patch adds a check for __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ so that,
if defined, int-ll64.h is included instead.Signed-off-by: Matt Evans

Implement a POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX.
For large aligned copies this new loop is over 10% faster, and for
large unaligned copies it is over 200% faster.If we take a fault we fall back to the old version, this keeps
things relatively simple and easy to verify.On POWER7 unaligned stores rarely slow down - they only flush when
a store crosses a 4KB page boundary. Furthermore this flush is
handled completely in hardware and should be 20-30 cycles.Unaligned loads on the other hand flush much more often - whenever
crossing a 128 byte cache line, or a 32 byte sector if either sector
is an L1 miss.Considering this information we really want to get the loads aligned
and not worry about the alignment of the stores. Microbenchmarks
confirm that this approach is much faster than the current unaligned
copy loop that uses shifts and rotates to ensure both loads and
stores are aligned.We also want to try and do the stores in cacheline aligned, cacheline
sized chunks. If the store queue is unable to merge an entire
cacheline of stores then the L2 cache will have to do a
read/modify/write. Even worse, we will serialise this with the stores
in the next iteration of the copy loop since both iterations hit
the same cacheline.Based on this, the new loop does the following things:
1 - 127 bytes
Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores. Pretty
boring and similar to how the current loop works.128 - 4095 bytes
Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores,
1 cacheline at a time. We aren't doing the stores in cacheline
aligned chunks so we will potentially serialise once per cacheline.
Even so it is much better than the loop we have today.4096 - bytes
If both source and destination have the same alignment get them both
16 byte aligned, then get the destination cacheline aligned. Do
cacheline sized loads and stores using VMX.If source and destination do not have the same alignment, we get the
destination cacheline aligned, and use permute to do aligned loads.In both cases the VMX loop should be optimal - we always do aligned
loads and stores and are always doing stores in cacheline aligned,
cacheline sized chunks.To be able to use VMX we must be careful about interrupts and
sleeping. We don't use the VMX loop when in an interrupt (which should
be rare anyway) and we wrap the VMX loop in disable/enable_pagefault
and fall back to the existing copy_tofrom_user loop if we do need to
sleep.The VMX breakpoint of 4096 bytes was chosen using this microbenchmark:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c
Since we are using VMX and there is a cost to saving and restoring
the user VMX state there are two broad cases we need to benchmark:- Best case - userspace never uses VMX
- Worst case - userspace always uses VMX
In reality a userspace process will sit somewhere between these two
extremes. Since we need to test both aligned and unaligned copies we
end up with 4 combinations. The point at which the VMX loop begins to
win is:0% VMX
aligned 2048 bytes
unaligned 2048 bytes100% VMX
aligned 16384 bytes
unaligned 8192 bytesConsidering this is a microbenchmark, the data is hot in cache and
the VMX loop has better store queue merging properties we set the
breakpoint to 4096 bytes, a little below the unaligned breakpoints.Some future optimisations we can look at:
- Looking at the perf data, a significant part of the cost when a
task is always using VMX is the extra exception we take to restore
the VMX state. As such we should do something similar to the x86
optimisation that restores FPU state for heavy users. ie:/*
* If the task has used fpu the last 5 timeslices, just do a full
* restore of the math state immediately to avoid the trap; the
* chances of needing FPU soon are obviously high now
*/
preload_fpu = tsk_used_math(next_p) && next_p->fpu_counter > 5;and
/*
* fpu_counter contains the number of consecutive context switches
* that the FPU is used. If this is over a threshold, the lazy fpu
* saving becomes unlazy to save the trap. This is an unsigned char
* so that after 256 times the counter wraps and the behavior turns
* lazy again; this to deal with bursty apps that only use FPU for
* a short time
*/- We could create a paca bit to mirror the VMX enabled MSR bit and check
that first, avoiding multiple calls to calling enable_kernel_altivec.
That should help with iovec based system calls like readv.- We could have two VMX breakpoints, one for when we know the user VMX
state is loaded into the registers and one when it isn't. This could
be a second bit in the paca so we can calculate the break points quickly.- One suggestion from Ben was to save and restore the VSX registers
we use inline instead of using enable_kernel_altivec.[BenH: Fixed a problem with preempt and fixed build without CONFIG_ALTIVEC]

24aa07882b (memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free_range()

its inclusion from include/linux/memblock.h which breaks other
architectures which depended on the generic memblock.h pulling in the
arch specific one.However, the proper fix isn't adding back the asm inclusion. memblock
doesn't have any arch dependent part and doesn't need arch specific
header file and asm/memblock.h files are either practically empty or
contain mostly unrelated arch specific stuff.* In microblaze, sh, powerpc, sparc and openrisc, asm/memblock.h is
either empty or just contains unused MEMBLOCK_DBG() macro. Remove
them.* In arm and unicore32, asm/memblock.h contains arch specific stuff.
Include it directly from its users. It might be a good idea to

This fixes a problem where a CPU thread coming out of nap mode can
think it has valid values in the nonvolatile GPRs (r14 - r31) as saved
away in power7_idle, but in fact the values have been trashed because
the thread was used for KVM in the mean time. The result is that the
thread crashes because code that called power7_idle (e.g.,
pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self()) goes to use values in registers that have
been trashed.The bit field in SRR1 that tells whether state was lost only reflects
the most recent nap, which may not have been the nap instruction in
power7_idle. So we need an extra PACA field to indicate that state
has been lost even if SRR1 indicates that the most recent nap didn't
lose state. We clear this field when saving the state in power7_idle,
we set it to a non-zero value when we use the thread for KVM, and we
test it in power7_wakeup_noloss.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

With CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y, user space cannot read any part of /dev/mem.
Since this breaks librtas, punch a hole in /dev/mem to allow access to the
rmo_buffer that librtas needs.Anton Blanchard reported the problem and helped with the fix.
A quick test for this patch:
# cat /proc/rtas/rmo_buffer
000000000f190000 10000# python -c "print 0x000000000f190000 / 0x10000"
3865# dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/foo count=1 bs=64k skip=3865
