Tracepoints should not be called inside an rcu_idle_enter/rcu_idle_exit
region. Since pSeries calls H_CEDE in the idle loop, we were violating
this rule.
commit a7b152d5342c (powerpc: Tell RCU about idle after hcall tracing)
tried to work around it by delaying the rcu_idle_enter until after we
called the hcall tracepoint, but there are a number of issues with it.
The hcall tracepoint trampoline code is called conditionally when the
tracepoint is enabled. If the tracepoint is not enabled we never call
rcu_idle_enter. The idle_uses_rcu check was also done at compile time
which breaks multiplatform builds.
The simple fix is to avoid tracing H_CEDE and rely on other tracepoints
and the hypervisor dispatch trace log to work out if we called H_CEDE.
This fixes a hang during boot on pSeries.

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.

This patch provides cpu_idle_wait() routine for the powerpc
platform which is required by the cpuidle subsystem. This
routine is required to change the idle handler on SMP systems.
The equivalent routine for x86 is in arch/x86/kernel/process.c
but the powerpc implementation is different.
cpuidle_disable variable is to enable/disable cpuidle
framework if power_save option is set during the boot
time.

start_secondary() is called shortly after _start and also via
cpu_idle()->cpu_die()->pseries_mach_cpu_die()
start_secondary() expects a preempt_count() of 0. pseries_mach_cpu_die() is
called via the cpu_idle() routine with preemption disabled, resulting in the
following repeating message during rapid cpu offline/online tests
with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y:

Move the cpu_die() call inside the existing preemption enabled block of
cpu_idle(). This is safe as the idle task is affined to a single CPU so the
debug_smp_processor_id() tests (from cpu_should_die()) won't trigger as we are
in a "migration disabled" region.

Impact: fix for irq off latency tracer
When idle is called, interrupts are disabled, but the idle function
will still wake up on an interrupt. The problem is that the interrupt
disabled latency tracer will take this call to idle as a latency.
This patch disables the latency tracing when going into idle.

I tracked down the shutdown regression to CPUs not dying
when being shut down during power-off. This turns out to
be due to the system_state being SYSTEM_POWER_OFF, which
this code doesn't take as a valid state for shutting off
CPUs in.
This has never made sense to me, but when I added hotplug
code to implement hibernate I only "made it work" and did
not question the need to check the system_state. Thomas
Gleixner helped me dig, but the only thing we found is
that it was added with the original commit that added CPU
hotplug support.

Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:
scheduler switch to idle task
enable interrupts
Window starts here
----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
irq_exit() stops the tick
----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
return from schedule()
cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
Window ends here
The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.
The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
cpu_idle()
{
preempt_disable();
while(1) {
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
are in the idle loop
while (!need_resched())
halt();
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
preempt_enable_no_resched();
schedule();
preempt_disable();
}
}
In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ...
/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

Powermac G5 suspend to disk implementation. The code is platform
agnostic but only tested on powermac, no other 64-bit powerpc
machines.
Because nvidiafb still breaks suspend I have marked it EXPERIMENTAL on
powermac and because I can't test it and some lowlevel code will need
changes it is BROKEN on all other 64-bit platforms.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

This unifies the 32-bit (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and 64-bit idle
loops. It brings over the concept of having a ppc_md.power_save
function from 32-bit to ARCH=powerpc, which lets us get rid of
native_idle(). With this we will also be able to simplify the idle
handling for pSeries and cell.
