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.

Maynard informed me that neither the oprofile kernel module nor oprofile
userspace has been updated to support that "legacy" oprofile module
interface for power8, which is indicated by "ppc64/power8." This results
in no samples. The solution is to default to the "timer" type, instead.
The raw entry also should be updated, as "ppc64/ibm-compat-v1" indicates
to oprofile userspace to use "compatibility events" which are obsolete
in ISA 2.07.

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.
Tested with 64 and 32 bit signals

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.

In commit 9353374 "Context switch the new EBB SPRs" we added support for
context switching some new EBB SPRs. However despite four of us signing
off on that patch we missed some. To be fair these are not actually new
SPRs, but they are now potentially user accessible so need to be context

MSR_DE is not cleared on entry to the kernel, and we don't clear it
explicitly outside of debug code. If we have MSR_DE set in
prime_debug_regs(), and the new thread has events enabled in DBCR0
(e.g. ICMP is set in thread->dbsr0, even though it was cleared in the
real DBCR0 when the thread got scheduled out), we'll end up taking a
debug exception in the kernel when DBCR0 is loaded. DSRR0 will not
point to an exception vector, and the kernel ends up hanging at
kernel_dbg_exc. Fix this by always clearing MSR_DE when we load new
debug state.
Another observed source of kernel_dbg_exc hangs is with the branch
taken event. If this event is active, but we take a non-debug trap
(e.g. a TLB miss or an asynchronous interrupt) before the next branch.
We end up taking a branch-taken debug exception on the initial branch
instruction of the exception vector, but because the debug exception is
DBSR_BT rather than DBSR_IC we branch to kernel_dbg_exc before even
checking the DSRR0 address. Fix this by checking for DBSR_BT as well
as DBSR_IC, which is what 32-bit does and what the comments suggest was
intended in the 64-bit code as well.

This patch brings online all threads which are present but not online
prior to migration/hibernation. After migration/hibernation those
threads are taken back offline.
During migration/hibernation all online CPUs must call H_JOIN, this is
required by the hypervisor. Without this patch, threads that are offline
(H_CEDE'd) will not be woken to make the H_JOIN call and the OS will be
deadlocked (all threads either JOIN'd or CEDE'd).

ibm,validate-flash-image RTAS call output buffer contains 150 - 200
bytes of data on latest system. Presently we have output
buffer size as 64 bytes and we use sprintf to copy data from
RTAS buffer to local buffer. This causes kernel oops (see below
call trace).
This patch increases local buffer size to 256 and also uses
snprintf instead of sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer.

commit b3f271e86e5a (powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and
enhanced prefetch) uses VMX when it is safe to do so (ie not in
interrupt). It also looks at the task struct to decide if we have to
save the current tasks' VMX state.
kexec calls memcpy() at a point where the task struct may have been
overwritten by the new kexec segments. If it has been overwritten
then when memcpy -> enable_altivec looks up current->thread.regs->msr
we get a cryptic oops or lockup.
I also notice we aren't initialising thread_info->cpu, which means
smp_processor_id is broken. Fix that too.

The PCI core supports an offset per aperture nowadays but our arch
code still has a single offset per host bridge representing the
difference betwen CPU memory addresses and PCI MMIO addresses.
This is a problem as new machines and hypervisor versions are
coming out where the 64-bit windows will have a different offset
(basically mapped 1:1) from the 32-bit windows.
This fixes it by using separate offsets. In the long run, we probably
want to get rid of that intermediary struct pci_controller and have
those directly stored into the pci_host_bridge as they are parsed
but this will be a more invasive change.

We are getting low on cpu feature bits. So rather than add a separate bit for
every new Power8 feature, add a bit for arch 2.07 server catagory and use that
instead.
Hijack the value we had for BCTAR, but swap the value with CFAR so that all the
ARCH defines are together.
Note we don't touch CPU_FTR_TM, because it is conditionally enabled if
the kernel is built with TM support.

We do not want to take single step and branch-taken debug exception
in kernel exception code. But the address range check was not covering
all kernel exception handlers address range.
With this patch we defined the interrupt_end label which defines the
end on kernel exception code. So now we check interrupt_base to
interrupt_end range for not handling debug exception in kernel
exception entry.

Clean up some of the problems with the rtas_flash driver:
(1) It shouldn't fiddle with the internals of the procfs filesystem (altering
pde->count).
(2) If pid namespaces are in effect, then you can get multiple inodes
connected to a single pde, thereby rendering the pde->count > 2 test
useless.
(3) The pde->count fudging doesn't work for forked, dup'd or cloned file
descriptors, so add static mutexes and use them to wrap access to the
driver through read, write and release methods.
(4) The driver can only handle one device, so allocate most of the data
previously attached to the pde->data as static variables instead (though
allocate the validation data buffer with kmalloc).
(5) We don't need to save the pde pointers as long as we have the filenames
available for removal.
(6) Don't try to multiplex what the update file read method does based on the
filename. Instead provide separate file ops and split the function.
Whilst we're at it, tabulate the procfile information and loop through it when
creating or destroying them rather than manually coding each one.

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.
show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.
* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.
alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
um, xtensa
* Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
The printed information is superset of what used to be there.
arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86
* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the
arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
Converted to use the generic version.
Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.

Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints
extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.
The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
triggered dump_stack().
There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information.
This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's
dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.
Debug information can be printed separately by calling
dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used
in blackfin.
This patch brings the following behavior changes.
* On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
printed. This is because the top frame was determined in
dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
sure whether that'd be necessary.
* Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do
now.
An example WARN dump follows.

v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack(). This loses %ksp
from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.
dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
lib/dump_stack.c. Because linkage is per objecct file,
dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
- at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1
The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue. The build
breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.
