This commit adds tests of the feature fixup code, they are run during
boot if CONFIG_FTR_FIXUP_SELFTEST=y. Some of the tests manually invoke
the patching routines to check their behaviour, and others use the
macros and so are patched during the normal patching done during boot.
Because we have two sets of macros with different names, we use a macro
to generate the test of the macros, very niiiice.

This commit adds the logic to patch alternative sections. This is fairly
straightforward, except for branches. Relative branches that jump from
inside the else section to outside of it need to be translated as they're
moved, otherwise they will jump to the wrong location.

The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means
if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both
cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 1,1,1
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO)
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 2,2,2
END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO)
and the resulting code will be either,
or 1,1,1
nop
or,
nop
or 2,2,2
For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in
performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops.
This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 1,1,1
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
or 2,2,2
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO)
and the resulting code will be:
or 1,1,1
or,
or 2,2,2
We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature
section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty
we nop out the default case.
The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or
equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the
remainder of the section is nop'ed.
We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text,
so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link,
this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases.
This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but
does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.
We also need to update two hand-made section entries in reg.h and timex.h

The logic to patch CPU feature sections lives in cputable.c, but these days
it's used for CPU features as well as firmware features. Move it into
it's own file for neatness and as preparation for some additions.
While we're moving the code, we pull the loop body logic into a separate
routine, and remove a comment which doesn't apply anymore.

If you pass a target value to create_branch() which is more than 32MB - 4,
or - 32MB away from the branch site, then it's impossible to create an
immediate branch. The current code doesn't check, which will lead to us
creating a branch to somewhere else - which is bad.
For code that cares to check we return 0, which is easy to check for, and
for code that doesn't at least we'll be creating an illegal instruction,
rather than a branch to some random address.

Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and
patches it into the call site. In some circumstances it would be nice
to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some
code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before
doing the patching. A future commit will change create_branch() to
check for errors.
For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with
patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly.
While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *,
as this seems to match usage better. That allows (and requires) us to
remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and
mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as
an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change
across the patch_branch() call.

We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because
they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add
some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to
be inlined.
While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended
caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something
different.

At present, if we have a kernel with a 64kB page size, and some
process maps something that has to be mapped with 4kB pages (such as a
cache-inhibited mapping on POWER5+, or the eHCA infiniband queue-pair
pages), we change the process to use 4kB pages everywhere. This hurts
the performance of HPC programs that access eHCA from userspace.
With this patch, the kernel will only demote the slice(s) containing
the eHCA or cache-inhibited mappings, leaving the remaining slices
able to use 64kB hardware pages.
This also changes the slice_get_unmapped_area code so that it is
willing to place a 64k-page mapping into (or across) a 4k-page slice
if there is no better alternative, i.e. if the program specified
MAP_FIXED or if there is not sufficient space available in slices that
are either empty or already have 64k-page mappings in them.

While working on the 36-bit physical support, I noticed that there
was exactly one line of code that actually referenced the bitfields.
So I got rid of them and redefined ppc_bat as a struct of 2 u32's:
batu and batl. I also got rid of the previous union that held the
bitfield structs and a word representation of the batu/l values.
This seems like a nicer solution than adding in a bunch of
new bitfields to support extended bat addressing that would never
get used, and just leaving the struct as-is would have been
incomplete in the face of large physical addressing.

This frees a PTE bit when using 64K pages on ppc64. This is done
by getting rid of the separate _PAGE_HASHPTE bit. Instead, we just test
if any of the 16 sub-page bits is set. For non-combo pages (ie. real
64K pages), we set SUB0 and the location encoding in that field.

Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to
the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching
virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has
guest state loaded. If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same
time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall.
Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr
switching during bootup.

KVM has a heuristic to unshadow guest pagetables when userspace accesses
them, on the assumption that most guests do not allow userspace to access
pagetables directly. Unfortunately, in addition to unshadowing the pagetables,
it also oopses.
This never triggers on ordinary guests since sane OSes will clear the
pagetables before assigning them to userspace, which will trigger the flood
heuristic, unshadowing the pagetables before the first userspace access. One
particular guest, though (Xenner) will run the kernel in userspace, triggering
the oops. Since the heuristic is incorrect in this case, we can simply
remove it.
