All PowerPC CPUs other than the original PPC601 have a timebase
register rather than the "real-time clock" (RTC) register that the
PPC601 (and the original POWER and POWER2 CPUs) had. Currently
we have a CPU feature bit to indicate the presence of the timebase,
but it makes more sense to use a bit to indicate the unusual
situation rather than the common situation. This therefore defines
a CPU_FTR_USE_RTC bit in place of the CPU_FTR_USE_TB bit, and
arranges for it to be set on PPC601 systems.

On POWER9, under some circumstances, a broadcast TLB invalidation
might complete before all previous stores have drained, potentially
allowing stale stores from becoming visible after the invalidation.
This works around it by doubling up those TLB invalidations which was
verified by HW to be sufficient to close the risk window.
This will be documented in a yet-to-be-published errata.

PAPR defines 'ibm,processor-storage-keys' property. It exports two
values. The first value holds the number of data-access keys and the
second holds the number of instruction-access keys. Due to a bug in
the firmware, instruction-access keys is always reported as zero.
However any key can be configured to disable data-access and/or
disable execution-access. The inavailablity of the second value is not
a big handicap, though it could have been used to determine if the
platform supported disable-execution-access.
Non-PAPR platforms do not define this property in the device tree yet.
Fortunately power8 is the only released Non-PAPR platform that is
supported. Here, we hardcode the number of supported pkey to 32, by
consulting the PowerISA3.0
This patch calculates the number of keys supported by the platform.
Also it determines the platform support for read/write/execution
access support for pkeys.

There are several cases outside the normal address space management
where a CPU's entire local TLB is to be flushed:
1. Booting the kernel, in case something has left stale entries in
the TLB (e.g., kexec).
2. Machine check, to clean corrupted TLB entries.
One other place where the TLB is flushed, is waking from deep idle
states. The flush is a side-effect of calling ->cpu_restore with the
intention of re-setting various SPRs. The flush itself is unnecessary
because in the first case, the TLB should not acquire new corrupted
TLB entries as part of sleep/wake (though they may be lost).
This type of TLB flush is coded inflexibly, several times for each CPU
type, and they have a number of problems with ISA v3.0B:
- The current radix mode of the MMU is not taken into account, it is
always done as a hash flushn For IS=2 (LPID-matching flush from host)
and IS=3 with HV=0 (guest kernel flush), tlbie(l) is undefined if
the R field does not match the current radix mode.
- ISA v3.0B hash must flush the partition and process table caches as
well.
- ISA v3.0B radix must flush partition and process scoped translations,
partition and process table caches, and also the page walk cache.
So consolidate the flushing code and implement it in C and inline asm
under the mm/ directory with the rest of the flush code. Add ISA v3.0B
cases for radix and hash, and use the radix flush in radix environment.
Provide a way for IS=2 (LPID flush) to specify the radix mode of the
partition. Have KVM pass in the radix mode of the guest.
Take out the flushes from early cputable/dt_cpu_ftrs detection hooks,
and move it later in the boot process after, the MMU registers are set
up and before relocation is first turned on.
The TLB flush is no longer called when restoring from deep idle states.
This was not be done as a separate step because booting secondaries
uses the same cpu_restore as idle restore, which needs the TLB flush.

Recently we added a CPU feature for Power9 DD2.0, to capture the fact
that some workarounds are required only on Power9 DD1 and DD2.0 but
not DD2.1 or later.
Then in commit 9d2f510a66 ("powerpc/64s/idle: avoid POWER9 DD1 and
DD2.0 ERAT workaround on DD2.1") and commit e3646330cf
"powerpc/64s/idle: avoid POWER9 DD1 and DD2.0 PMU workaround on
DD2.1") we changed CPU_FTR_SECTIONs to check for DD1 or DD20, eg:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
PPC_INVALIDATE_ERAT
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_POWER9_DD1 | CPU_FTR_POWER9_DD20)
Unfortunately although this reads as "if set DD1 or DD2.0", the or is
a bitwise or and actually generates a mask of both bits. The code that
does the feature patching then checks that the value of the CPU
features masked with that mask are equal to the mask.
So the end result is we're checking for DD1 and DD20 being set, which
never happens. Yes the API is terrible.
Removing the ERAT workaround on DD2.0 results in random SEGVs, the
system tends to boot, but things randomly die including sometimes
dhclient, udev etc.
To fix the problem and hopefully avoid it in future, we remove the
DD2.0 CPU feature and instead add a DD2.1 (or later) feature. This
allows us to easily express that the workarounds are required if DD2.1
is not set.
At some point we will drop the DD1 workarounds entirely and some of
this can be cleaned up.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

We are running low on CPU feature bits, so we only want to use them when
it's really necessary.
CPU_FTR_SUBCORE is only used in one place, and only in C, so we don't
need it in order to make asm patching work. It can only be set on
"Power8" CPUs, which in practice means POWER8, POWER8E and POWER8NVL.
There are no plans to implement it on future CPUs, but if there ever
were we could retrofit it then.
Although KVM uses subcores, it never looks at the CPU feature, it either
looks at the ISA level or the threads_per_subcore value.
So drop the CPU feature and do a PVR check instead. Drop the device tree
"subcore" feature as we no longer support doing anything with it, and we

We do binary patching of asm code using CPU features, which is a
one-time operation, done during early boot. However checks of CPU
features in C code are currently done at run time, even though the set
of CPU features can never change after boot.
We can optimise this by using jump labels to implement cpu_has_feature(),
meaning checks in C code are binary patched into a single nop or branch.
For a C sequence along the lines of:
if (cpu_has_feature(FOO))
return 2;
The generated code before is roughly:
ld r9,-27640(r2)
ld r9,0(r9)
lwz r9,32(r9)
cmpwi cr7,r9,0
bge cr7, 1f
li r3,2

After (true):
nop
li r3,2
blr
After (false):
b 1f
li r3,2

We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement
this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h.
Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the
problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then
cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs
reg.h (for MSR_EE).
So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

Freescale updates from Scott:
"Highlights include more 8xx optimizations, an e6500 hugetlb optimization,
QMan device tree nodes, t1024/t1023 support, and various fixes and
cleanup."
This patch changes the syscall handler to doom (tabort) active
transactions when a syscall is made and return very early without
performing the syscall and keeping side effects to a minimum (no CPU
accounting or system call tracing is performed). Also included is a
new HWCAP2 bit, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC, to indicate this
behaviour to userspace.
Currently, the system call instruction automatically suspends an
active transaction which causes side effects to persist when an active
transaction fails.
This does change the kernel's behaviour, but in a way that was
documented as unsupported. It doesn't reduce functionality as
syscalls will still be performed after tsuspend; it just requires that
the transaction be explicitly suspended. It also provides a
consistent interface and makes the behaviour of user code
substantially the same across powerpc and platforms that do not
support suspended transactions (e.g. x86 and s390).
Performance measurements using
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c indicate the cost of
a normal (non-aborted) system call increases by about 0.25%.

This patch implements PAGE_EXEC capability on the 8xx.
All pages PP exec bits are set to 000, which means Execute for
Supervisor and no Execute for User.
Then we use the APG to say whether accesses are according to Page
rules, "all Supervisor" rules (Exec for all) and
"all User" rules (Exec for noone)
Therefore, we define 4 APG groups. msb is _PAGE_EXEC,
lsb is _PAGE_USER. MI_AP is initialised as follows:
GP0 (00) => Not User, no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user)
GP1 (01) => User but no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user)
GP2 (10) => Not User, exec => 01 (rights according to page definition)
GP3 (11) => User, exec => 00 (all accesses performed as supervisor)

The flush_tlb hook in cpu_spec was introduced as a generic function hook
to invalidate TLBs. But the current implementation of flush_tlb hook
takes IS (invalidation selector) as an argument which is architecture
dependent. Hence, It is not right to have a generic routine where caller
has to pass non-generic argument.
This patch fixes this and makes flush_tlb hook as high level API.

Luckily this hasn't caused any actual bugs AFAICS. Failing to update the
ALWAYS mask just forgoes a potential optimisation opportunity. Failing
to update the POSSIBLE mask for POWER8_DD1 is also OK because it only
removes a bit rather than adding any.
Regardless they should all be in both masks so as to avoid any future

Erratum A-006598 says that 64-bit mftb is not atomic -- it's subject
to a similar race condition as doing mftbu/mftbl on 32-bit. The lower
half of timebase is updated before the upper half; thus, we can share
the workaround for a similar bug on Cell. This workaround involves
looping if the lower half of timebase is zero, thus avoiding the need
for a scratch register (other than CR0). This workaround must be
avoided when the timebase is frozen, such as during the timebase sync
code.

When introducing support for DABRX in 4474ef0, we broke older 32-bit CPUs
that don't have that register.
Some CPUs have a DABR but not DABRX. Configuration are:
- No 32bit CPUs have DABRX but some have DABR.
- POWER4+ and below have the DABR but no DABRX.
- 970 and POWER5 and above have DABR and DABRX.
- POWER8 has DAWR, hence no DABRX.
This introduces CPU_FTR_DABRX and sets it on appropriate CPUs. We use
the top 64 bits for CPU FTR bits since only 64 bit CPUs have this.

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.

This replaces the single CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206 bit with two bits, one to
indicate that we have a usable hypervisor mode, and another to indicate
that the processor conforms to PowerISA version 2.06. We also add
another bit to indicate that the processor conforms to ISA version 2.01
and set that for PPC970 and derivatives.
Some PPC970 chips (specifically those in Apple machines) have a
hypervisor mode in that MSR[HV] is always 1, but the hypervisor mode
is not useful in the sense that there is no way to run any code in
supervisor mode (HV=0 PR=0). On these processors, the LPES0 and LPES1
bits in HID4 are always 0, and we use that as a way of detecting that
hypervisor mode is not useful.
Where we have a feature section in assembly code around code that
only applies on POWER7 in hypervisor mode, we use a construct like
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_HVMODE | CPU_FTR_ARCH_206)
The definition of END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET is such that the code will
be enabled (not overwritten with nops) only if all bits in the
provided mask are set.
Note that the CPU feature check in __tlbie() only needs to check the
ARCH_206 bit, not the HVMODE bit, because __tlbie() can only get called
if we are running bare-metal, i.e. in hypervisor mode.

Recent 64-bit server processors (POWER6 and POWER7) have a "Come-From
Address Register" (CFAR), that records the address of the most recent
branch or rfid (return from interrupt) instruction for debugging purposes.
This saves the value of the CFAR in the exception entry code and stores
it in the exception frame. We also make xmon print the CFAR value in
its register dump code.
Rather than extend the pt_regs struct at this time, we steal the orig_gpr3
field, which is only used for system calls, and use it for the CFAR value
for all exceptions/interrupts other than system calls. This means we
don't save the CFAR on system calls, which is not a great problem since
system calls tend not to happen unexpectedly, and also avoids adding the
overhead of reading the CFAR to the system call entry path.

Icswx is a PowerPC instruction to send data to a co-processor. On Book-S
processors the LPAR_ID and process ID (PID) of the owning process are
registered in the window context of the co-processor at initialization
time. When the icswx instruction is executed the L2 generates a cop-reg
transaction on PowerBus. The transaction has no address and the
processor does not perform an MMU access to authenticate the transaction.
The co-processor compares the LPAR_ID and the PID included in the
transaction and the LPAR_ID and PID held in the window context to
determine if the process is authorized to generate the transaction.
The OS needs to assign a 16-bit PID for the process. This cop-PID needs
to be updated during context switch. The cop-PID needs to be destroyed
when the context is destroyed.

e500mc does not support the HID0/MSR mechanism that is used by e500_idle
(and there are also issues with waking on certain types of interrupts).
Further, even if napping is never actually enabled, just having
CPU_FTR_CAN_NAP will cause machine_init() to overwrite the board's supplied
ppc_md.power_save().
We drop CPU_FTR_MAYBE_CAN_DOZE becuase we should use 'wait' instead on
e500mc.

The CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE and CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS defines did not encompass
e5500 CPU features when built for 64-bit. This causes issues with
cpu_has_feature() as it utilizes the POSSIBLE & ALWAYS defines as part
of its check.
Create a unique CPU_FTRS_E5500 (as its different from CPU_FTRS_E500MC),
created a new group for 64-bit Book3e based CPUs and add CPU_FTRS_E5500
to that group.

POWER5 added popcntb, and POWER7 added popcntw and popcntd. As a first step
this patch does all the work out of line, but it would be nice to implement
them as inlines with an out of line fallback.
The performance issue with hweight was noticed when disabling SMT on a large
(192 thread) POWER7 box. The patch improves that testcase by about 8%.

The POWER architecture does not require stcx to check that it is operating
on the same address as the larx. This means it is possible for an
an exception handler to execute a larx, get a reservation, decide
not to do the stcx and then return back with an active reservation. If the
interrupted code was in the middle of a larx/stcx sequence the stcx could
incorrectly succeed.
All recent POWER CPUs check the address before letting the stcx succeed
so we can create a CPU feature and nop it out. As Ben suggested, we can
only do this in our syscall path because there is a remote possibility
some kernel code gets interrupted by an exception that ends up operating
on the same cacheline.
Thanks to Paul Mackerras and Derek Williams for the idea.
To test this I used a very simple null syscall (actually getppid) testcase
at http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c
I tested against 2.6.35-git10 with the following changes against the
pseries_defconfig:
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=n
CONFIG_AUDIT=n
CONFIG_PPC_4K_PAGES=n
CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y
CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=9
CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT=n
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=n
CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=n
CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER=n
CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=n
to remove the overhead of virtual CPU accounting, syscall auditing and
the ftrace mcount tracers. 64kB pages were enabled to minimise TLB misses.
POWER6: +8.2%
POWER7: +7.0%
Another suggestion was to use a larx to something in the L1 instead of a stcx.
This was almost as fast as removing the larx on POWER6, but only 3.5% faster
on POWER7. We can use this to speed up the reservation clear in our
exception exit code.

Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC
64-bit server (Book III S) processors. This allows access to a
given location to be used as an event that can be counted or
profiled by the perf_events subsystem.
This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can
also be used for process debugging via ptrace. When perf_event
hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem
manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then
creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint.
[Adopted suggestions from Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> to
- emulate_step() all system-wide breakpoints and single-step only the
per-task breakpoints
- perform arch-specific cleanup before unregistration through
arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint()

The POWER7 core has dynamic SMT mode switching which is controlled by
the hypervisor. There are 3 SMT modes:
SMT1 uses thread 0
SMT2 uses threads 0 & 1
SMT4 uses threads 0, 1, 2 & 3
When in any particular SMT mode, all threads have the same performance
as each other (ie. at any moment in time, all threads perform the same).
The SMT mode switching works such that when linux has threads 2 & 3 idle
and 0 & 1 active, it will cede (H_CEDE hypercall) threads 2 and 3 in the
idle loop and the hypervisor will automatically switch to SMT2 for that
core (independent of other cores). The opposite is not true, so if
threads 0 & 1 are idle and 2 & 3 are active, we will stay in SMT4 mode.
Similarly if thread 0 is active and threads 1, 2 & 3 are idle, we'll go
into SMT1 mode.
If we can get the core into a lower SMT mode (SMT1 is best), the threads
will perform better (since they share less core resources). Hence when
we have idle threads, we want them to be the higher ones.
This adds a feature bit for asymmetric packing to powerpc and then
enables it on POWER7.

This patch adds the base support for the 476 processor. The code was
primarily written by Ben Herrenschmidt and Torez Smith, but I've been
maintaining it for a while.
The goal is to have a single binary that will run on 44x and 47x, but
we still have some details to work out. The biggest is that the L1 cache
line size differs on the two platforms, but it's currently a compile-time
option.

Nick Piggin discovered that lwsync barriers around locks were faster than isync
on 970. That was a long time ago and I completely dropped the ball in testing
his patches across other ppc64 processors.
Turns out the idea helps on other chips. Using a microbenchmark that
uses a lot of threads to contend on a global pthread mutex (and therefore a
global futex), POWER6 improves 8% and POWER7 improves 2%. I checked POWER5
and while I couldn't measure an improvement, there was no regression.
This patch uses the lwsync patching code to replace the isyncs with lwsyncs
on CPUs that support the instruction. We were marking POWER3 and RS64 as lwsync
capable but in reality they treat it as a full sync (ie slow). Remove the
CPU_FTR_LWSYNC bit from these CPUs so they continue to use the faster isync
method.

We were missing the CPU_FTR_NOEXECUTE bit in our cputable for all
