It's meaningless to handle frozen PE if we already had fenced PHB.
The patch intends to check the PHB state before checking PE. If the
PHB has been put into fenced state, we need take care of that firstly.

On PowerNV platform, the EEH event caused by interrupt won't have
binding PE. The patch enables EEH core to handle the special event.
To avoid the current logic we have, The eeh_handle_event() is renamed
to eeh_handle_normal_event(), and the eeh_handle_special_event() is
introduced. The function eeh_handle_event() dispatches to above two
functions according to the input parameter. Besides, new backend
"next_error" added to eeh_ops and it's expected to have following
return values:
4 - Dead IOC 3 - Dead PHB
2 - Fenced PHB 1 - Frozen PE
0 - No error found

An EEH event is created and queued to the event queue for each
ingress EEH error. When there're mutiple EEH errors, we need serialize
the process to keep consistent PE state (flags). The spinlock
"confirm_error_lock" was introduced for the purpose. We'll inject
EEH event upon error reporting interrupts on PowerNV platform. So
we export the spinlock for that to use for consistent PE state.

On PowerNV platform, we might run into the situation where subsequent
events are duplicated events of former one, which is being processed.
For the case, we need the function implemented by the patch to purge
EEH events accordingly.

We're not expecting that one specific PE got frozen for over 5
times in last hour. Otherwise, the PE will be removed from the
system upon newly coming EEH errors. The patch introduces time
stamp to trace the first error on specific PE in last hour and
function to update that accordingly. Besides, the time stamp
is recovered during PE hotplug path as we did for frozen count.

We possiblly have multiple kthreads running for multiple EEH errors
(events) and use one spinlock to make the process of handling those
EEH events serialized. That's unnecessary and the patch creates only
one kthread, which is started during EEH core initialization time in
eeh_init(). A new semaphore introduced to count the number of existing
EEH events in the queue and the kthread waiting on the semaphore.

While doing EEH recovery, the PCI devices of the problematic PE
should be removed and then added to the system again. During the
so-called hotplug event, the PCI devices of the problematic PE
will be probed through early/late phase. We would delay EEH probe
on late point for PowerNV platform since the PCI device isn't
available in early phase.

One of the possible cases indicated by P7IOC interrupt is fenced
PHB. For that case, we need fetch the PE corresponding to the PHB
and disable the PHB and all subordinate PCI buses/devices, recover

one function to fetch the PHB PE outside eeh_pe.c and the patch is
going to make eeh_phb_pe_get() public for that purpose.

Currently we only restore signals which are transactionally suspended but it's
possible that the transaction can be restored even when it's active. Most
likely this will result in a transactional rollback by the hardware as the
transaction will have been doomed by an earlier treclaim.
The current code is a legacy of earlier kernel implementations which did
software rollback of active transactions in the kernel. That code has now gone
but we didn't correctly fix up this part of the signals code which still makes
assumptions based on having software rollback.
This changes the signal return code to always restore both contexts on 64 bit
signal return. It also ensures that the MSR TM bits are properly restored from
the signal context which they are not currently.

Currently we clear out the MSR TM bits on signal return assuming that the
signal should never return to an active transaction.
This is bogus as the user may do this. It's most likely the transaction will
be doomed due to a treclaim but that's a problem for the HW not the kernel.
The current code is a legacy of earlier kernel implementations which did
software rollback of active transactions in the kernel. That code has now gone

setting TM suspend. We pull out only the bits needed to ensure the user can't
do anything dangerous to the MSR.

Currently sys_sigreturn() is TM unaware. Therefore, if we take a 32 bit signal
without SIGINFO (non RT) inside a transaction, on signal return we don't
restore the signal frame correctly.
This checks if the signal frame being restoring is an active transaction, and
if so, it copies the additional state to ptregs so it can be restored.

The MSR TM controls are in the top 32 bits of the MSR hence on 32 bit signals,
we stick the top half of the MSR in the checkpointed signal context so that the
user can access it.
Unfortunately, we don't currently write anything to the checkpointed signal
context when coming in a from a non transactional process and hence the top MSR
bits can contain junk.
This updates the 32 bit signal handling code to always write something to the
top MSR bits so that users know if the process is transactional or not and the
kernel can use it on signal return.

On BookE (Branch taken + Single Step) is as same as Branch Taken
on BookS and in Linux we simulate BookS behavior for BookE as well.
When doing so, in Branch taken handling we want to set DBCR0_IC but
we update the current->thread->dbcr0 and not DBCR0.
Now on 64bit the current->thread.dbcr0 (and other debug registers)
is synchronized ONLY on context switch flow. But after handling
Branch taken in debug exception if we return back to user space
without context switch then single stepping change (DBCR0_ICMP)
does not get written in h/w DBCR0 and Instruction Complete exception
does not happen.

This initializes IOMMU groups based on the IOMMU configuration
discovered during the PCI scan on POWERNV (POWER non virtualized)
platform. The IOMMU groups are to be used later by the VFIO driver,
which is used for PCI pass through.
It also implements an API for mapping/unmapping pages for
guest PCI drivers and providing DMA window properties.
This API is going to be used later by QEMU-VFIO to handle
h_put_tce hypercalls from the KVM guest.
The iommu_put_tce_user_mode() does only a single page mapping
as an API for adding many mappings at once is going to be
added later.
Although this driver has been tested only on the POWERNV
platform, it should work on any platform which supports
TCE tables. As h_put_tce hypercall is received by the host
kernel and processed by the QEMU (what involves calling
the host kernel again), performance is not the best -
circa 220MB/s on 10Gb ethernet network.
To enable VFIO on POWER, enable SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU config
option and configure VFIO as required.

decrementer_check_overflow
Previously in order to handle the edge sensitive decrementers,
we choose to set the decrementer to 1 to trigger a decrementer
interrupt when re-enabling interrupts. But with the rework of the
lazy EE, we would replay the decrementer interrupt when re-enabling
interrupts if a decrementer interrupt occurs with irq soft-disabled.
So there is no need to trigger a decrementer interrupt in this case
any more.

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.
Processors that don't have the DABRX will still work as they will fall
back to software filtering these breakpoints via perf_exclude_event().

pcibios_fixup_resources
If a BAR has the value of 0, we would assume that it is unset yet and
then mark the resource as unset and would reassign it later. But after
commit 6c5705fe (powerpc/PCI: get rid of device resource fixups)
the pcibios_fixup_resources is invoked after the bus address was
translated to linux resource. So the value of res->start is resource
address. And since the resource and bus address may be different, we
should translate it to the bus address before doing the check.

Commit a9c4e541ea9b22944da356f2a9258b4eddcc953b
"powerpc/kprobe: Complete kprobe and migrate exception frame"
introduced a regression:
While returning from exception handling in case of PREEMPT enabled,
_TIF_NEED_RESCHED bit is checked in TI_FLAGS (thread_info flag) of current
task. Only if this bit is set, it should continue with the process of
calling preempt_schedule_irq() to schedule highest priority task if
available.
Current code assumes that r8 contains TI_FLAGS and check this for
_TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but as r8 is modified in the code which executes before
this check, r8 no longer contains the expected TI_FLAGS information.
As a result check for comparison with _TIF_NEED_RESCHED was failing even if
NEED_RESCHED bit is set in the current thread_info flag. Due to this,
preempt_schedule_irq() and in turn scheduler was not getting called even if
highest priority task is ready for execution.
So, store temporary results in r0 instead of r8 to prevent r8 from getting
modified as subsequent code is dependent on its value.

in no samples. The solution is to default to the "timer" type, instead.

to oprofile userspace to use "compatibility events" which are obsolete

transactions
When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with
the stack. It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin.
The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that
returns before a tend. In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed
transactional memory state. If we write over this non transactionally or in
suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter
and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be
valid anymore.
To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use
the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated
state. This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be
written below the stack required for the rollback. The transaction is aborted
becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the
signal will be rolled back anyway.
For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the
normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer.

If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that
touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional
suspend context. We need to abort these transactions and send them back to
userspace for the hardware to rollback.
We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the
kernel will operate in the same suspend context.
This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction
emulations (only string instructions for now). If the user process is in an
active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to
userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the
failure. This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the
persistent error to the user.
