I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same
sys32_sysinfo... except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of
the uptime. So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit.
Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it
would be the best tested.
This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but
instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.

When we do full FP emulation its possible that we need to post a SIGFPE based
on the results of the emulation. The previous code ignored this case completely.
Additionally, the Soft_emulate_8xx case had two issues. One, we should never
generate a SIGFPE since the code only does data movement. Second, we were
interpreting the return codes incorrectly, it returns 0 on success, 1 on
illop and -EFAULT on a data access error.

Anytime we are emulating an instruction we are going to be doing some form of
get_user() to get the instruction image to decode. Since get_user() might
sleep we need to ensure we have interrupts enabled or we might see something
like:
Debug: sleeping function called from invalid context at arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:697
in_atomic():0, irqs_disabled():1

However, we want to ensure that interrupts are disabled when handling a trap
exception that might be used for a kernel breakpoint. This is why ProgramCheck

Some instruction tracing tools use the RI (recoverable interrupt) bit
in the MSR to indicate when it's safe to single-step. Currently we
clear RI after restoring r13 when returning to userspace. However,
if we single-step past the point where r13 is restored, we'll corrupt
r13 in the exception entry code and not restore it. This moves the
clearing of RI to just before r13 is restored so this doesn't happen.

To the issue: some point during 2.6.20 development, Paul Mackerras
introduced the "lazy IRQ disabling" patch (very cool work, BTW).
In that patch, the performance monitor unit exception was marked as
"maskable", in the sense that if interrupts were soft-disabled, that
exception could be ignored. This broke my PowerPC profiling code.
The symptom that I see is that a varying number of interrupts
(from 0 to $n$, typically closer to 0) get delivered, when, in
reality, it should always be very close to $n$.
The issue stems from the way masking is being done. Masking in
this fashion seems to work well with the decrementer and external
interrupts, because they are raised again until "really" handled.
For the PMU, however, this does not apply (at least on my Xserver
machine with a 970FX processor). If the PMU exception is not handled,
it will _not_ be re-raised (at least on my machine). The documentation
states that the PMXE bit in MMCR0 is set to 0 when the PMU exception
is raised. However, software must re-set the bit to re-enable PMU
exceptions. If the exception is ignored (as currently) not only is
that interrupt lost, but because software does not re-set PMXE, the
PMU registers are "frozen" forever.
[This patch means that performance monitor exceptions are taken and
handled even if irqs are off, as long as some other interrupt hasn't
come along and caused interrupts to be hard-disabled. In this sense
the PMU exception becomes like an NMI. The oprofile code for most
powerpc processors does nothing that is unsafe in an NMI context, but
the Cell oprofile code does a spin_lock_irqsave. However, that turns
out to be OK because Cell doesn't actually use the performance
monitor exception; performance monitor interrupts come in as a
regular interrupt on Cell, so will be disabled when irqs are off.

- Drivers will not rely on the PCI config space value, as they've
already been conditioned to rely on the irq field in "struct pci_dev".
- The virq value may not be < 256 as it has been remapped.
- The PCI config space should reflect the hardware configuration, which
is not being changed. We are only creating a virtual irq mapping that
exists in the kernel only. One would never expect the PCI hardware to
generate the "virq" interrupt.

Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up'
This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
defined as __devinit
AND
__cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.
Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
we get a .text refering .init.data warning.
This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
are of __init type.
Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
land up in .init section.

When we switched over to the generic BUG mechanism we forgot to change
the assembly code which open-codes a WARN_ON() in enter_rtas(), so the
bug table got corrupted.
This patch provides an EMIT_BUG_ENTRY macro for use in assembly code,
and uses it in entry_64.S. Tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE on ppc64
but not without -- I tried to turn it off but it wouldn't go away; I
suspect Aunt Tillie probably needed it.
This version gets __FILE__ and __LINE__ right in the assembly version --
rather than saying include/asm-powerpc/bug.h line 21 every time which is
a little suboptimal.

For 32-bit processes, the getcontext side of the swapcontext system
call (i.e. the saving of the context when the first argument is
non-NULL) has to set the ctx->uc_mcontext.uc_regs pointer to the place
where it saves the registers. Which it does, but it doesn't ensure
that the pointer is 16-byte aligned. 16-byte alignment is needed
because the Altivec/VMX registers are saved in there, and they need to
be on a 16-byte boundary.
This fixes it by ensuring the appropriate alignment of the pointer.

On some oldworld PowerMacs, OF doesn't assign interrupts properly
beyond P2P bridges. Fortunately, the fix is easy as all those machines
just wire all IRQ lines together to one IRQ which is assigned to the
bridge itself. We already have a special function for parsing Apple
OldWorld interrupts which are special, so let's add to it the ability
to walk up the PCI tree to find interrupts.
This fixes irqs on the lower slots of s900 clones among others.

This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery. The biggest reports the
function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general.
There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several
functions.
Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG
macro includes a goto loop. This will generate a real jmp instruction, which
is never used.

The changes to use pci_read_irq_line() broke interrupt parsing
on some 32-bit powermacs (oops). The reason is a bit obscure.
The code to parse interrupts happens earlier now, during
pcibios_fixup() as the PCI bus is being probed. However, the
current implementation pci_device_to_OF_node() for 32-bit
powerpc relies, on machines like PowerMac which renumber PCI buses,
on a table called pci_OF_bus_map containing a map of bus numbers
between the kernel and the firmware which is setup only later.
Thus, it fails to match the device node. In addition, some of
Apple internal PCI devices lack a proper PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN, thus
preventing the fallback mapping code to work.
This patch fixes it by making pci_device_to_OF_node() 32-bit
implementation use a different algorithm that works without
using the pci_OF_bus_map thing (which I intend to deprecate
anyway). It's a bit slower but that function isn't called in
any hot path hopefully.

For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an
alternative, more compact representation for the information about the
memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information. This
adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation.
The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can
handle the alternative representation. There is however a subtlety
here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory
representation we request is different from the representation that
firmware is currently using. This is because firmware can't change
the representation on the fly. Further, some firmware versions used
on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine
with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel
booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000). Because of
this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we
do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines.
We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the
ibm,client-architecture-support call.

Now we have a SPURR cpu feature bit, we can export it to userspace in
sysfs.

POWER6 adds a new SPR, the data stream control register (DSCR). It can
be used to adjust how agressive the prefetch mechanisms are.
Its possible we may want to context switch this, but for now just export
it to userspace via sysfs so we can adjust it.
