Update memcpy() to add two new feature sections: one for aligning the
destination before copying and one for copying using aligned load
and store doubles.
These new feature sections will only affect Power6 and Cell because
the CPU feature bit was only added to these two processors.
Power6 gets its best performance in memcpy() when aligning neither the
source nor the destination, while Cell gets its best performance when
just the destination is aligned. But in order to save on CPU feature
bits we can use the previously added CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ feature bit
to differentiate between Power6 and Cell (because CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ
was added to Cell but not Power6).
The first feature section acts to nop out the branch that takes us to
the code that aligns us to an eight byte boundary for the destination.
We only want to nop out this branch on Power6.
So the ALT_FTR_SECTION_END() for this feature section creates a test
mask of the two feature bits ORed together and provides an expected
result of just CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD, thus we nop out the branch
if we're on a CPU that has CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD set and
CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ unset.
For the second feature section added, if we're on a CPU that has the
CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD bit set then we don't want to do the copy
with aligned loads and stores (and the appropriate shifting left and
right instructions), so we want to nop out the branch to
.Lsrc_unaligned.
The andi. used for this branch is moved to just above the branch
because this allows us to nop out both instructions with just one
feature section which gives us better performance and doesn't hurt
readability which two separate feature sections did.
Moving the andi. to just above the branch doesn't have any noticeable
negative effect on the remaining 64bit processors (the ones that
didn't have this feature bit added).
On Cell this simple modification results in an improvement to measured
memcpy() bandwidth of up to 50% in the hot cache case and up to 15% in
the cold cache case.
On Power6 we get memory bandwidth results that are up to three times
faster in the hot cache case and up to 50% faster in the cold cache
case.
Commit 2a9294369bd020db89bfdf78b84c3615b39a5c84 ("powerpc: Add new CPU
feature: CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ") was where CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ was
added.
To say that Cell gets its best performance in memcpy() with just the
destination aligned is true but only for the reason that the indirect
shift and rotate instructions, sld and srd, are microcoded on Cell.
This means that either the destination or the source can be aligned,
but not both, and seeing as we get better performance with the
destination aligned we choose this option.
While we're at it make a one line change from cmpldi r1,... to
cmpldi cr1,... for consistency.

Add a new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD, to be added
to the 64bit powerpc chips that can do unaligned load double and
store double without any performance hit.
This is added to Power6 and Cell and will be used in the next commit
to disable the code that gets the destination address aligned on
those CPUs where doing that doesn't improve performance.

A new field has been added to the VPA as a method for the client OS to
communicate to firmware the number of page-ins it is performing when
running collaborative memory overcommit. The hypervisor will use this
information to better determine if a partition is experiencing memory
pressure and needs more memory allocated to it.

The 'ibm,interrupt-server#-size' properties are not in the cpu nodes,
which is where we currently look for them, but rather live under the
interrupt source controller nodes (which have "ibm,ppc-xics" in their
compatible property).
This moves the code that looks for the ibm,interrupt-server#-size
properties from xics_update_irq_servers() into xics_init_IRQ().
Also this adds a check for mismatched sizes across the interrupt
source controller nodes. Not sure this is necessary as in this case
the firmware might be seriously busted.
This property only appears on POWER6 boxes and is only used in the
set-indicator(gqirm) call, and apparently firmware currently ignores
the value we pass. Nevertheless we need to fix it in case future
firmware versions use it.

When no hardware method is provided to sync the timebase registers
across the machine, and the platform doesn't sync them for us, then we
use a generic software implementation. Currently, the code for that
has many printks, and they don't have log levels. Most of the printks
are only useful for debugging the code, and since we haven't had any
problems with it for years, this turns them into pr_debug.

The code to properly expose domain numbers in /proc is somewhat
bogus on ppc64 as it depends on the "buid" field being non-0,
but that field is really pseries specific.
This removes that code and makes ppc64 use the same code as 32-bit
which effectively decides whether to expose domains based on
ppc_pci_flags set by the platform, and sets the default for 64-bit
to enable domains and enable compatibility for domain 0 (which
strips the domain number for domain 0 to help with X servers).

All three flavors of sata_nv's are different in how their hardreset
behaves.
* generic: Hardreset is not reliable. Link often doesn't come online
after hardreset.
* nf2/3: A little bit better - link comes online with longer debounce
timing. However, nf2/3 can't reliable wait for the first D2H
Register FIS, so it can't wait for device readiness or classify the
device after hardreset. Follow-up SRST required.
* ck804: Hardreset finally works.
The core layer change to prefer hardreset and follow up changes
exposed the above issues and caused various detection regressions for
all three flavors. This patch, hopefully, fixes all the known issues
and should make sata_nv error handling more reliable.

Promise ATA engines need to be reset when errors occur.
That's currently done for errors detected by sata_promise itself,
but it's not done for errors like timeouts detected outside of
the low-level driver.
The effect of this omission is that a timeout tends to result
in a sequence of failed COMRESETs after which libata EH gives
up and disables the port. At that point the port's ATA engine
hangs and even reloading the driver will not resume it.
To fix this, make sata_promise override ->hardreset on SATA
ports with code which calls pdc_reset_port() on the port in
question before calling libata's hardreset. PATA ports don't
use ->hardreset, so for those we override ->softreset instead.

The mv643xx_eth mii bus implementation uses wait_event_timeout() to
wait for SMI completion interrupts.
If wait_event_timeout() would return zero, mv643xx_eth would conclude
that the SMI access timed out, but this is not necessarily true --
wait_event_timeout() can also return zero in the case where the SMI
completion interrupt did happen in time but where it took longer than
the requested timeout for the process performing the SMI access to be
scheduled again. This would lead to occasional SMI access timeouts
when the system would be under heavy load.
The fix is to ignore the return value of wait_event_timeout(), and
to re-check the SMI done bit after wait_event_timeout() returns to
determine whether or not the SMI access timed out.

Impact: ia64+tracing build fix
When a function is kprobed, the return address is set to the
kprobe_trampoline, or something similar. This caused the output
of the trace to look confusing when the parent seemed to be this
"kprobe_trampoline" function.
To fix this, Abhishek Sagar added a test of the instruction pointer
of the parent to see if it matched the kprobe_trampoline. If it
did, the output would print a "[unknown/kretprobe'd]" instead.
Unfortunately, not all archs do this the same way, and the trampoline
function may not be exported, which causes failures in builds.
This patch will compare the name instead of the pointer to see
if it matches. This prevents us from depending on a function from
being exported, and should work on all archs. The worst that can
happen is that an arch might use a different name and then we
go back to the confusing output. At least the arch will still build.
