This implements accurate task and cpu time accounting for 64-bit
powerpc kernels. Instead of accounting a whole jiffy of time to a
task on a timer interrupt because that task happened to be running at
the time, we now account time in units of timebase ticks according to
the actual time spent by the task in user mode and kernel mode. We
also count the time spent processing hardware and software interrupts
accurately. This is conditional on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. If
that is not set, we do tick-based approximate accounting as before.
To get this accurate information, we read either the PURR (processor
utilization of resources register) on POWER5 machines, or the timebase
on other machines on
* each entry to the kernel from usermode
* each exit to usermode
* transitions between process context, hard irq context and soft irq
context in kernel mode
* context switches.
On POWER5 systems with shared-processor logical partitioning we also
read both the PURR and the timebase at each timer interrupt and
context switch in order to determine how much time has been taken by
the hypervisor to run other partitions ("steal" time). Unfortunately,
since we need values of the PURR on both threads at the same time to
accurately calculate the steal time, and since we can only calculate
steal time on a per-core basis, the apportioning of the steal time
between idle time (time which we ceded to the hypervisor in the idle
loop) and actual stolen time is somewhat approximate at the moment.
This is all based quite heavily on what s390 does, and it uses the
generic interfaces that were added by the s390 developers,
i.e. account_system_time(), account_user_time(), etc.
This patch doesn't add any new interfaces between the kernel and
userspace, and doesn't change the units in which time is reported to
userspace by things such as /proc/stat, /proc/<pid>/stat, getrusage(),
times(), etc. Internally the various task and cpu times are stored in
timebase units, but they are converted to USER_HZ units (1/100th of a
second) when reported to userspace. Some precision is therefore lost
but there should not be any accumulating error, since the internal
accumulation is at full precision.

When a cpu is hotplug-onlined, if we don't set per_cpu(last_jiffy) to
something sane, timer_interrupt will execute its while loop for every
tick missed since the cpu was last online (or since the system was
booted, if we're adding a new cpu). This can cause weird hangs, ssh
sessions dropping, and we can even go xmon if we take a global IPI at
the wrong time.

We used to print a NUMA cpu summary at boot before the hotplug cpu code
was added. This has been useful for catching machine configuration as
well as firmware bugs in the past.
This patch restores that functionality. An example of the output is:
Node 0 CPUs: 0-7
Node 1 CPUs: 8-15

Implementing the machine_crash_shutdown which will be called by
crash_kexec (called in case of a panic, sysrq etc.). Disable the
interrupts, shootdown cpus using debugger IPI and collect regs
for all CPUs.
elfcorehdr= specifies the location of elf core header stored by
the crashed kernel. This command line option will be passed by
the kexec-tools to capture kernel.
savemaxmem= specifies the actual memory size that the first kernel
has and this value will be used for dumping in the capture kernel.
This command line option will be passed by the kexec-tools to
capture kernel.

This patch removes several unnecessary fields from the paca:
- next_jiffy_update_tb was simply unused. Remove trivially.
- The exdsi exception save area was not used. There were plans to use
it, but they never seem to have gone anywhere. If they ever do, we
can put it back. Remove from the paca, and from asm-offsets.c
- The default_decr field was used from asm, but was only ever assigned
the value of tb_ticks_per_jiffy. Just access tb_ticks_per_jiffy from
asm directly instead.
Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR and iSeries RS64.

This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.
Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
have to change.
I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.

This patch merges platform codes. systemcfg->platform is no longer used,
systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed
_systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch),
_machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32. Platform codes aren't gone
yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S
is also turned into C code.

- Re-add a hunk lost during merge: ppc64 is missing the hunk that disables
preempt on the secondary CPUs before they call cpu_idle().
- ppc's cpu_idle() had the need_resched() test wrong.

Even though we can enable and disable xmon at runtime now, there are a
few places in the merge tree that call xmon and xmon_printf directly.
In the case below we call die() which will call xmon if it is enabled.
Also remove an unnecessary include of xmon.h in smp.c.
