We do lazy FP but not lazy TM (ie. userspace starts with MSR TM=1 FP=0). Hence
if userspace does an FP instruction during a transaction, we'll take an
fp unavailable exception.
This adds functions needed to handle this case. We have to inject the current
FP state into the checkpoint so that the hardware can decide what to do with
the transaction. We can't inject only the FP so we have to do a full treclaim
and recheckpoint to inject just the FP state. This will cause the transaction
to be marked as aborted by the hardware.
This just add the routines needed to do this for FP, VMX and VSX. It doesn't
hook them into the rest of the code yet.

When we switch out a task, we need to save both the checkpointed and the
speculated state into the thread struct.
Similarly when we are switching in a task we need to load both the checkpointed
and speculated state. If the task was using FP, we non-lazily reload both the
original and the speculative FP register states. This is because the kernel
doesn't see if/when a TM rollback occurs, so if we take an FP unavoidable
later, we are unable to determine which set of FP regs need to be restored.
This simply adds these functions. It doesn't hook them into the existing code

In commit 466921c we added a hack to set the paca data_offset to zero so
that per-cpu accesses would work on the boot cpu prior to per-cpu areas
being setup. This fixed a problem with lockdep touching per-cpu areas
very early in boot.
However if we combine CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y with any of the PPC_EARLY_DEBUG
options, we can hit the same problem in udbg_early_init(). To avoid that
we need to set the data_offset of the boot_paca also. So factor out the
fixup logic and call it for both the boot_paca, and "the paca of the
boot cpu".

The CFAR (Come-From Address Register) is a useful debugging aid that
exists on POWER7 processors. Currently HV KVM doesn't save or restore
the CFAR register for guest vcpus, making the CFAR of limited use in
guests.
This adds the necessary code to capture the CFAR value saved in the
early exception entry code (it has to be saved before any branch is
executed), save it in the vcpu.arch struct, and restore it on entry
to the guest.

Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are
only 32 bytes long, which is not enough for the full first-level
interrupt handler. For these we currently just have a branch to an
out-of-line handler. However, this means that we corrupt the CFAR
(come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors.
To fix this, we split the EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 macro into two pieces:
EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 contains the part up to the point where the CFAR
is saved in the PACA, and EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 contains the rest. We
then put EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 in the short interrupt vectors before
we branch to the out-of-line handler, which contains the rest of the
first-level interrupt handler. To facilitate this, we define new
_OOL (out of line) variants of STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES, etc.
In order to get EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 to be short enough, i.e., no more
than 6 instructions, it was necessary to move the stores that move
the PPR and CFAR values into the PACA into __EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 and
to get rid of one of the two HMT_MEDIUM instructions. Previously
there was a HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD before the prolog, which was
nop'd out on processors with the PPR (POWER7 and later), and then
another HMT_MEDIUM inside the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_SAVE macro call inside
__EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1, which was nop'd out on processors without PPR.
Now the HMT_MEDIUM inside EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 is there unconditionally
and the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is not strictly necessary, although
this leaves it in for the interrupt vectors where there is room for
it.
Previously we had a handler for hypervisor maintenance interrupts at
0xe50, which doesn't leave enough room for the vector for hypervisor
emulation assist interrupts at 0xe40, since we need 8 instructions.
The 0xe50 vector was only used on POWER6, as the HMI vector was moved
to 0xe60 on POWER7. Since we don't support running in hypervisor mode
on POWER6, we just remove the handler at 0xe50.
This also changes denorm_exception_hv to use EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0
instead of open-coding it, and removes the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD
from the relocation-on vectors (since any CPU that supports
relocation-on interrupts also has the PPR).

If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
able to account the cputime without using the tick.
Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
hooking into kernel/user boundaries.
However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
outside idle.
This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.
There are some upsides of doing this:
- This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
tickless mode).
- We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
(de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.
And one downside:
- There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

The purpose of this option is to allow ARM/etc systems that rely on the
class RTC subsystem to have the same kind of automatic NTP based
synchronization that we have on PC platforms. Today ARM does not
implement update_persistent_clock and makes extensive use of the class
RTC system.
When enabled CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC will provide a generic
rtc_update_persistent_clock that stores the current time in the RTC and
is intended complement the existing CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS option that loads
the RTC at boot.
Like with RTC_HCTOSYS the platform's update_persistent_clock is used
first, if it works. Platforms with mixed class RTC and non-RTC drivers
need to return ENODEV when class RTC should be used. Such an update for
PPC is included in this patch.
Long term, implementations of update_persistent_clock should migrate to
proper class RTC drivers and use CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC instead.

Currently we are getting:
arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.c: In function 'kgdb_arch_exit':
arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.c:492:2: error: '__debugger_breakx_match' undeclared (first use in this function)

Fix the typo.

The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some
server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch
of data streams.
The kernel already supports DSCR value per thread but there is also
a need in a ability to change it from an external process for
the specific pid.
The patch adds new register index PT_DSCR (index=44) which can be
set/get by:
ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, traced_process, PT_DSCR << 3, dscr);
dscr = ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, traced_process, PT_DSCR << 3, NULL);
The patch does not increase PT_REGS_COUNT as the pt_regs struct has not
been changed.

The FWNMI region is fixed at 0x7000 and the vector are now
overflowing that with some configurations. Fix that by moving
some hash management code out of that region as it doesn't need
to be that close to the call sites (isn't accessed using
conditional branches).

The DDW code uses a eeh_dev struct from the pci_dev. However, this is
not set until eeh_add_device_late is called.
Since pci_bus_add_devices is called before eeh_add_device_late, the PCI
devices are added to the bus, making drivers' probe hooks to be called.
These will call set_dma_mask, which will call the DDW code, which will
require the eeh_dev struct from pci_dev. This would result in a crash,
due to a NULL dereference.
Calling eeh_add_device_late after pci_bus_add_devices would make the
system BUG, because device files shouldn't be added to devices there
were not added to the system. So, a new function is needed to add such
files only after pci_bus_add_devices have been called.
