The sysdev.h file should not be needed by any in-kernel code, so remove
the .h file from these random files that seem to still want to include
it.
The sysdev code will be going away soon, so this include needs to be
removed no matter what.

Since the PM core is now going to execute driver callbacks directly
if the corresponding subsystem callbacks are not present,
forward-only subsystem callbacks (i.e. such that only execute the
corresponding driver callbacks) are not necessary any more. Thus
it is possible to remove generic_subsys_pm_ops, because the only
callback in there that is not forward-only, .runtime_idle, is not
really used by the only user of generic_subsys_pm_ops, which is
vio_bus_type.
However, the generic callback routines themselves cannot be removed
from generic_ops.c, because they are used individually by a number
of subsystems.

commit c55aef0e5bc6 ("powerpc/boot: Change the load address
for the wrapper to fit the kernel") introduced a WARNING to
inform the user that the uncompressed kernel would overlap
the boot uncompressing wrapper code. Change it to an INFO.
I initially thought, this would be a 'WARNING' for the those
boards, where the link_address should be fixed, so that the
user can take actions accordingly.
Changing the same to INFO.

The wrapper code which uncompresses the kernel in case of a 'ppc' boot
is by default loaded at 0x00400000 and the kernel will be uncompressed
to fit the location 0-0x00400000. But with dynamic relocations, the size
of the kernel may exceed 0x00400000(4M). This would cause an overlap
of the uncompressed kernel and the boot wrapper, causing a failure in
boot.
The message looks like :
zImage starting: loaded at 0x00400000 (sp: 0x0065ffb0)
Allocating 0x5ce650 bytes for kernel ...
Insufficient memory for kernel at address 0! (_start=00400000, uncompressed size=00591a20)
This patch shifts the load address of the boot wrapper code to the next
higher MB, according to the size of the uncompressed vmlinux.
With the patch, we get the following message while building the image :
WARN: Uncompressed kernel (size 0x5b0344) overlaps the address of the wrapper(0x400000)
WARN: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0x600000)

The following patch adds relocatable kernel support - based on processing
of dynamic relocations - for PPC44x kernel.
We find the runtime address of _stext and relocate ourselves based
on the following calculation.
virtual_base = ALIGN(KERNELBASE,256M) +
MODULO(_stext.run,256M)
relocate() is called with the Effective Virtual Base Address (as
shown below)

The virt_phys_offset is updated accordingly, i.e,
virt_phys_offset = effective. kernel virt base - kernstart_addr
I have tested the patches on 440x platforms only. However this should
work fine for PPC_47x also, as we only depend on the runtime address
and the current TLB XLAT entry for the startup code, which is available
in r25. I don't have access to a 47x board yet. So, it would be great if
somebody could test this on 47x.

On BookE, we need __va() & __pa() early in the boot process to access
the device tree.
Currently this has been defined as :
#define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) -
PHYSICAL_START + KERNELBASE)
where:
PHYSICAL_START is kernstart_addr - a variable updated at runtime.
KERNELBASE is the compile time Virtual base address of kernel.
This won't work for us, as kernstart_addr is dynamic and will yield different
results for __va()/__pa() for same mapping.
e.g.,
Let the kernel be loaded at 64MB and KERNELBASE be 0xc0000000 (same as
PAGE_OFFSET).
In this case, we would be mapping 0 to 0xc0000000, and kernstart_addr = 64M
Now __va(1MB) = (0x100000) - (0x4000000) + 0xc0000000
= 0xbc100000 , which is wrong.
it should be : 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000
On platforms which support AMP, like PPC_47x (based on 44x), the kernel
could be loaded at highmem. Hence we cannot always depend on the compile
time constants for mapping.
Here are the possible solutions:
1) Update kernstart_addr(PHSYICAL_START) to match the Physical address of
compile time KERNELBASE value, instead of the actual Physical_Address(_stext).
The disadvantage is that we may break other users of PHYSICAL_START. They
could be replaced with __pa(_stext).
2) Redefine __va() & __pa() with relocation offset
#ifdef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32
#define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) - PHYSICAL_START + (KERNELBASE + RELOC_OFFSET)))
#define __pa(x) ((unsigned long)(x) + PHYSICAL_START - (KERNELBASE + RELOC_OFFSET))
#endif
where, RELOC_OFFSET could be
a) A variable, say relocation_offset (like kernstart_addr), updated
at boot time. This impacts performance, as we have to load an additional
variable from memory.
OR
b) #define RELOC_OFFSET ((PHYSICAL_START & PPC_PIN_SIZE_OFFSET_MASK) - \
(KERNELBASE & PPC_PIN_SIZE_OFFSET_MASK))
This introduces more calculations for doing the translation.
3) Redefine __va() & __pa() with a new variable
i.e,
#define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) + VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET))
where VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET :
#ifdef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32
#define VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET virt_phys_offset
#else
#define VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET (KERNELBASE - PHYSICAL_START)
#endif /* CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32 */
where virt_phy_offset is updated at runtime to :
Effective KERNELBASE - kernstart_addr.
Taking our example, above:
virt_phys_offset = effective_kernelstart_vaddr - kernstart_addr
= 0xc0400000 - 0x400000
= 0xc0000000
and
__va(0x100000) = 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000
which is what we want.
I have implemented (3) in the following patch which has same cost of
operation as the existing one.
I have tested the patches on 440x platforms only. However this should
work fine for PPC_47x also, as we only depend on the runtime address
and the current TLB XLAT entry for the startup code, which is available
in r25. I don't have access to a 47x board yet. So, it would be great if
somebody could test this on 47x.

The following patch implements the dynamic relocation processing for
PPC32 kernel. relocate() accepts the target virtual address and relocates
the kernel image to the same.
Currently the following relocation types are handled :
R_PPC_RELATIVE
R_PPC_ADDR16_LO
R_PPC_ADDR16_HI
R_PPC_ADDR16_HA
The last 3 relocations in the above list depends on value of Symbol indexed
whose index is encoded in the Relocation entry. Hence we need the Symbol
Table for processing such relocations.
Note: The GNU ld for ppc32 produces buggy relocations for relocation types
that depend on symbols. The value of the symbols with STB_LOCAL scope
should be assumed to be zero. - Alan Modra

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:
* Introduced a new config, NONSTATIC_KERNEL, to denote a kernel which is
either a RELOCATABLE or DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(Suggested by: Josh Boyer)

prevents 64-bit userland from seeing this definition, instead defaulting
to u64 == long in userspace. Some user programs (e.g. kvmtool) may actually

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 bytes
100% VMX
aligned 16384 bytes
unaligned 8192 bytes
Considering 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.

The code for "powersurge" SMP would kick in and cause a crash
at boot due to the lack of a NULL test.

In the old days, we treated all interrupts from the legacy Apple home made
interrupt controllers as level, with a trick reading the "level" register
along with the "event" register to work arounds bugs where it would
occasionally fail to latch some events.
Doing so appeared to work fine for both level and edge interrupts.
Later on, we discovered in Darwin source the magic masks that define which
interrupts are actually level and which are edge, and implemented a
different algorithm, more similar to what Apple does, that treats those
differently.
I recently discovered however that this caused problems (including loss
of interrupts) with an old Wallstreet PowerBook when trying to use the
internal modem (connected to a cascaded controller).
It looks like some interrupts are treated as edge while they are really
level and I'm starting to seriously doubt the correctness of the Darwin
code (which has other obvious bugs when you read it, so ...)
This patch reverts to our original behaviour of treating everything as
a level interrupt. It appears to solve the problems with the modem on
the Wallstreet and everything else seems to be working properly as well.

Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.
Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

The PowerPC pSeries platform (CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES=y) enables
hypervisor-call tracing for CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y kernels. One of the
hypervisor calls that is traced is the H_CEDE call in the idle loop
that tells the hypervisor that this OS instance no longer needs the
current CPU. However, tracing uses RCU, so this combination of kernel
configuration variables needs to avoid telling RCU about the current CPU's
idleness until after the H_CEDE-entry tracing completes on the one hand,
and must tell RCU that the the current CPU is no longer idle before the
H_CEDE-exit tracing starts.
In all other cases, it suffices to inform RCU of CPU idleness upon
idle-loop entry and exit.
This commit makes the required adjustments.

It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.
To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().
If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().
Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:
- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:
- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.
There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.
Split this function into:
- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.
- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).
To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().
This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.

Sending a break on the SOC UARTs found in some MPC83xx/85xx/86xx
chips seems to cause a short lived IRQ storm (/proc/interrupts
typically shows somewhere between 300 and 1500 events). Unfortunately
this renders SysRQ over the serial console completely inoperable.
The suggested workaround in the errata is to read the Rx register,
wait one character period, and then read the Rx register again.
We achieve this by tracking the old LSR value, and on the subsequent
interrupt event after a break, we don't read LSR, instead we just
read the RBR again and return immediately.
The "fsl,ns16550" is used in the compatible field of the serial
device to mark UARTs known to have this issue.
Thanks to Scott Wood for providing the errata data which led to
a much cleaner fix.

The upcomming currituck patches will need to do 64-bit shifts which will
fail with undefined symbol without this patch.
I looked at linking against libgcc but we can't guarantee that libgcc
was compiled with soft-float. Also Using ../lib/div64.S or
../kernel/misc_32.S, this will break the build as the .o's need to be
built with different flags for the bootwrapper vs the kernel. So for
now the easyest option is to just copy code from
arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S I don't think this code changes too often ;P

Currituck doesn't need nor use SDR so aborting the pci setup if there is
no sdr-base would be bad.
Add a flag to ppc4xx_pciex_hwops for the backends to state if they need
SDR and then only complain and abort if they do and it's not found in
the device tree.

Now all ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP archs select HAVE_MEBLOCK_NODE_MAP -
there's no user of early_node_map[] left. Kill early_node_map[] and
replace ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP with HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP. Also,
relocate for_each_mem_pfn_range() and helper from mm.h to memblock.h
as page_alloc.c would no longer host an alternative implementation.
This change is ultimately one to one mapping and shouldn't cause any
observable difference; however, after the recent changes, there are
some functions which now would fit memblock.c better than page_alloc.c
and dependency on HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP instead of HAVE_MEMBLOCK
doesn't make much sense on some of them. Further cleanups for
functions inside HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP in mm.h would be nice.
