On Power machines supporting VRMA, Kexec/Kdump does not work.
VRMA (virtual real-mode area) means that accesses with IR/DR = 0
(i.e. the MMU "off") actually still go through the hash table,
using entries put there by the hypervisor.
This means that when we clear out the hash table on kexec, we need to
make sure these entries are left untouched.
This also adds plpar_pte_read_raw() on the lines of
plpar_pte_remove_raw().

In some of the PPC970 based systems, interrupt would be distributed to
offline cpus also even when booted with "maxcpus=1". So check whether
cpu online map and cpu present map are equal or not. If they are equal
default_distrib_server is used as interrupt server otherwise boot cpu
(default_server) used as interrupt server.
In addition to this, if an interrupt is assigned to a specific cpu (ie
smp affinity) and if that cpu is not online, the earlier code used to
return the default_distrib_server as interrupt server. This
introduces an additional parameter to the get_irq function, called
strict_check. Based on this parameter, if the cpu is not online
either default_distrib_server or -1 is returned.

There are 2 config options that indicate whether the platform being built

To achieve this, the 'dts' variable will only be set when the conditions

cpu_purr_data is a per-cpu array used to account for stolen time on

However, the code was reworked ("Simplify stolen time calculation")

those of other cpus. This means we can get rid of the spinlock as

As a possible solution we can choose not to build timer.o when RTC_CLASS

This fixes some problems with the way the some things
represented in the device tree for the Holly and Taiga boards. This
means changes both to the dts files, and to the code which
instantiates the tsi108 ethernet platform devices based on the device
tree.
- First, and most importantly, the ethernet PHYs are given
with an identical 'reg' property. This reg currently encodes the
accessible register used to initiate mdio interaction with the PHYs,
rather than a meaningful address on the parent bus (mdio in this
case), which is incorrect. Instead we give the address of these
registers as 'reg' in the mdio node itself, and encode the ID of each
phy in their 'reg' propertyies.
- Currently the platform device constructor enables a
workaround in the tsi108 ethernet driver based on the compatible
property of the PHY. This is incorrect, because the workaround in
question is necessary due to the board's wiring of the PHY, not the
model of PHY itself. This patch alters the constructor to instead
enable the workaround based on a new special property in the PHY node.
- The compatible properties on a number of nodes in the device
tree are insufficiently precise. In particular the PHYs give only
"bcm54xx", which is broken, since there are many bcm54xx PHY models,
and they have differences which matter. The mdio had a compatible
property of "tsi-ethernet" identical to the ethernet MAC nodes, which
doesn't make sense. The ethernet, i2c, bridge and PCI nodes were
given only as "tsi-*" which is somewhat inprecise, we replace with
"tsi108-*" in the case of Taiga (which has a TSI108 bridge), and
"tsi109-*", "tsi108-*" in the case of Holly (which has a TSI109
bridge).
- We remove some "model" properties from the ethernets on
Taiga board which were neither useful nor adequately precise.
- On Holly we change to using a dtc label instead of a full
path to reference the MPIC node, which makes the dts a little more
readable.

In the device tree for Ebony, the 'ranges' property in the node for
the EBC bridge shows the mappings from the chip select / address lines
actually used for the EBC peripherals into the address space of the
OPB. At present, these mappings are hardcoded in ebony.dts for the
mappings set up by the OpenBIOS firmware when it configures the EBC
bridge.
This replaces the hardcoded mappings with code in the zImage to
read the EBC configuration registers and create an appropriate ranges
property based on them. This should make the zImage and kernel more
robust to changes in firmware configuration. In particular, some of
the Ebony's DIP switches can change the effective address of the Flash

Currently the powerpc kernel has a 64-bit only feature,
COHERENT_ICACHE used for those CPUS which maintain icache/dcache
coherency in hardware (POWER5, essentially). It also has a feature,
SPLIT_ID_CACHE, which is used on CPUs which have separate i and
d-caches, which is to say everything except 601 and Freescale E200.
In nearly all the places we check the SPLIT_ID_CACHE, what we actually
care about is whether the i and d-caches are coherent (which they will
be, trivially, if they're the same cache).
This tries to clarify the situation a little. The COHERENT_ICACHE
feature becomes availble on 32-bit and is set for all CPUs where i and
d-cache are effectively coherent, whether this is due to special logic
(POWER5) or because they're unified. We check this, instead of
SPLIT_ID_CACHE nearly everywhere.
The SPLIT_ID_CACHE feature itself is replaced by a UNIFIED_ID_CACHE
feature with reversed sense, set only on 601 and Freescale E200. In
the two places (one Freescale BookE specific) where we really care
whether it's a unified cache, not whether they're coherent, we check
this feature. The CPUs with unified cache are so few, we could
consider replacing this feature bit with explicit checks against the
PVR.
This will make unifying the 32-bit and 64-bit cache flush code a
little more straightforward.

A Power6 can give up CPU cycles on a dedicated CPU (as opposed to a
shared CPU) to other shared processors if the administrator asks for it
(via the HMC).
This enables that to work properly on P6.
This just involves setting a bit in the CAS structure as well as the
VPA. To donate cycles, a CPU has to have all SMT threads idle and
have the donate bit set in the VPA. Then call H_CEDE.
The reason why shared processors just aren't used is because dedicated
CPUs are guaranteed an actual processor, yet the system is still able to

The powerpc ptrace interface is dodgy at best. We have defined our
"own" versions of GETREGS/SETREGS/GETFPREGS/SETFPREGS that strangely
take arguments in reverse order from other archs (in addition to having
different request numbers) and have subtle issue, like not accessing
all of the registers in their respective categories.
This patch moves the implementation of those to a separate function
in order to facilitate their deprecation in the future, and provides
new ptrace requests that mirror the x86 and sparc ones and use the
same numbers:
PTRACE_GETREGS : returns an entire pt_regs (the whole thing,
not only the 32 GPRs, though that doesn't
include the FPRs etc... There's a compat version
for 32 bits that returns a 32 bits compatible
pt_regs (44 uints)
PTRACE_SETREGS : sets an entire pt_regs (the whole thing,
not only the 32 GPRs, though that doesn't
include the FPRs etc... Some registers cannot be
written to and will just be dropped, this is the
same as with POKEUSR, that is anything above MQ
on 32 bits and CCR on 64 bits. There is a compat
version as well.
PTRACE_GETFPREGS : returns all the FP registers -including- the FPSCR
that is 33 doubles (regardless of 32/64 bits)
PTRACE_SETFPREGS : sets all the FP registers -including- the FPSCR
that is 33 doubles (regardless of 32/64 bits)
And two that only exist on 64 bits kernels:
PTRACE_GETREGS64 : Same as PTRACE_GETREGS, except there is no compat
function, a 32 bits process will obtain the full 64
bits registers
PTRACE_SETREGS64 : Same as PTRACE_SETREGS, except there is no compat
function, a 32 bits process will set the full 64
bits registers
The two later ones makes things easier to have a 32 bits debugger on a
64 bits program (or on a 32 bits program that uses the full 64 bits of
the GPRs, which is possible though has issues that will be fixed in a
later patch).
Finally, while at it, the patch removes a whole bunch of code duplication
between ptrace32.c and ptrace.c, in large part by having the former call
into the later for all requests that don't need any special "compat"
treatment.

The powerpc ptrace code has some weirdness, like a ptrace-common.h file that
is actually ppc64 only and some of the 32 bits code ifdef'ed inside ptrace.c.
There are also separate implementations for things like get/set_vrregs for
32 and 64 bits which is totally unnecessary.
This patch cleans that up a bit by having a ptrace-common.h which contains
really common code (and makes a lot more code common), and ptrace-ppc32.h and
ptrace-ppc64.h files that contain the few remaining different bits.
