Michael Neuling f3e909c275 powerpc: Update for VSX core file and ptrace
This correctly hooks the VSX dump into Roland McGrath core file
infrastructure.  It adds the VSX dump information as an additional elf
note in the core file (after talking more to the tool chain/gdb guys).
This also ensures the formats are consistent between signals, ptrace
and core files.

Michael Neuling ce48b21007 powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support
This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available.  This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.

Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.

The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers.  Backward
compatibility is maintained.

The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.

VSX has 64 128bit registers.  The first 32 regs overlap with the FP
registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits.  The
second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers.

This commit introduces the thread_struct changes required to reflect
this register layout.  Ptrace and signals code is updated so that the
floating point registers are correctly accessed from the thread_struct
when CONFIG_VSX is enabled.

Michael Ellerman fac23fe4be powerpc: Introduce infrastructure for feature sections with alternatives
The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means
if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both
cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg:

BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	1,1,1
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO)
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	2,2,2
END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO)

and the resulting code will be either,

	or	1,1,1
	nop

or,
	nop
	or	2,2,2

For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in
performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops.
This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following:

BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	1,1,1
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
	or	2,2,2
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO)

and the resulting code will be:

	or	1,1,1
or,
	or	2,2,2

We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature
section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty
we nop out the default case.

The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or
equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the
remainder of the section is nop'ed.

We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text,
so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link,
this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases.

This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but
does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.

We also need to update two hand-made section entries in reg.h and timex.h

Michael Ellerman e7a57273c6 powerpc: Allow create_branch() to return errors
Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and
patches it into the call site.  In some circumstances it would be nice
to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some
code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before
doing the patching.  A future commit will change create_branch() to
check for errors.

For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with
patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly.

While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *,
as this seems to match usage better.  That allows (and requires) us to
remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and
mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as
an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change
across the patch_branch() call.

Linus Torvalds 89f5b7da2a Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Oleg Nesterov point out that since the commit
557ed1fa26 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed
the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will
generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly.

We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but
since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages,
we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead.

In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core
file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not
been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating
all those useless newly zeroed pages.

This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the
same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly.

While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the
caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply
could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it)
and a page that just wasn't mapped.

We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not
be turned into a "struct page *".  The error is arbitrarily picked to be
EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the
equivalent IO-mapped page case.

[ Also removed an impossible test for pte_offset_map_lock() failing:
  that's not how that function works ]

GCC 4.4.x looks to be adding support for generating out-of-line register
saves/restores based on:

This breaks the kernel if we enable CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.  To fix
this we add the use the save/restore code from gcc and simplified it down
for our needs (integer only).

Additionally, we have to link this code into each module.  The other
solution was to add EXPORT_SYMBOL() which meant going through the
trampoline which seemed nonsensical for these out-of-line routines.

Finally, we add some checks to prom_init_check.sh to ignore the
out-of-line save/restore functions.

Michael Ellerman 19fc65b525 powerpc: Fix irq_alloc_host() reference counting and callers
When I changed irq_alloc_host() to take an of_node
(52964f87c64e6c6ea671b5bf3030fb1494090a48: "Add an optional
device_node pointer to the irq_host"), I botched the reference
counting semantics.

Stephen pointed out that it's irq_alloc_host()'s business if
it needs to take an additional reference to the device_node,
the caller shouldn't need to care.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0be234a465 [POWERPC] Fix incorrect enabling of VMX when building signal or user context
When building a signal or a ucontext, we can incorrectly set the MSR_VEC
bit of the kernel pt_regs->msr before returning to userspace if the task
-ever- used VMX.

This can lead to funny result if that stack used it in the past, then
"lost" it (ie. it wasn't enabled after a context switch for example)
and then called get_context.  It can end up with VMX enabled and the
registers containing values from some other task.

Kumar Gala fca622c5b2 [POWERPC] 40x/Book-E: Save/restore volatile exception registers
On machines with more than one exception level any system register that
might be modified by the "normal" exception level needs to be saved and
restored on taking a higher level exception.  We already are saving
and restoring ESR and DEAR.

For critical level add SRR0/1.
For debug level add CSRR0/1 and SRR0/1.
For machine check level add DSRR0/1, CSRR0/1, and SRR0/1.

On FSL Book-E parts we always save/restore the MAS registers for critical,
debug, and machine check level exceptions.  On 44x we always save/restore
the MMUCR.

Additionally, we save and restore the ksp_limit since we have to adjust it
for each exception level.

* Cleanup the code a bit my allocating an INT_FRAME on our exception
  stack there by make references go from GPR11-INT_FRAME_SIZE(r8) to
  just GPR11(r8)
* simplify {lvl}_transfer_to_handler code by moving the copying of the
  temp registers we use if we come from user space into the PROLOG
* If the exception came from kernel mode copy thread_info flags,
  preempt, and task pointer from the process thread_info.

Kumar Gala bcf0b08807 [POWERPC] Move to runtime allocated exception stacks
For the additonal exception levels (critical, debug, machine check) on
40x/book-e we were using "static" allocations of the stack in the
associated head.S.

Move to a runtime allocation to make the code a bit easier to read as
we mimic how we handle IRQ stacks.  Its also a bit easier to setup the
stack with a "dummy" thread_info in C code.

Since commit "85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and

PHYSICAL_START is #defined as kernstart_addr if RELOCATABLE
and FLATMEM is enabled.

PHYSICAL_START is used in prom_init.c and so kernstart_addr
needs to be added to the list of allowed symbols that
prom_init.c can access.
