through a pointer on 64bit
The ppc64 ABI has a static chain register (r11) which is only used
when calling nested functions through a pointer. Considering that
we take a dim view of nested functions in the kernel, we have a lot
of unnecessary overhead here.
gcc 4.7 has an option to disable loading of r11 so lets use it.
If hell freezes over and hipsters manage to litter the kernel
with nested functions, gcc will give us an error message and
won't simply compile bad code:
You cannot take the address of a nested function if you use
the -mno-pointers-to-nested-functions option.
Furthermore our kernel module trampolines don't setup the static
chain register so adding this option and forcing gcc to error out
makes even more sense.

[PATCH 6/6] powerpc: Implement PPR save/restore
When the task enters in to kernel space, the user defined priority (PPR)
will be saved in to PACA at the beginning of first level exception
vector and then copy from PACA to thread_info in second level vector.
PPR will be restored from thread_info before exits the kernel space.
P7/P8 temporarily raises the thread priority to higher level during
exception until the program executes HMT_* calls. But it will not modify
PPR register. So we save PPR value whenever some register is available
to use and then calls HMT_MEDIUM to increase the priority. This feature
supports on P7 or later processors.
We save/ restore PPR for all exception vectors except system call entry.
GLIBC will be saving / restore for system calls. So the default PPR
value (3) will be set for the system call exit when the task returned
to the user space.

By using the compiler intrinsics instead of hand-crafted opaque inline
assembler for byte-swapping, we let the compiler see what's actually
happening and it gets to use lwbrx/stwbrx instructions instead of a
normal load/store coupled with a sequence of rlwimi instructions to
move bits around.
Compiled-tested only. It gave a code size reduction of almost 4% for
ext2, and more like 2.5% for ext3/ext4.

For PR KVM we allow userspace to map 0xc000000000000000. Because
transitioning from userspace to the guest kernel may use the relocated
exception vectors we have to disable relocation on exceptions whenever
PR KVM is active as we cannot trust that address.
This issue does not apply to HV KVM, since changing from a guest to the
hypervisor will never use the relocated exception vectors.
Currently the hypervisor interface only allows us to toggle relocation
on exceptions on a partition wide scope, so we need to globally disable
relocation on exceptions when the first PR KVM instance is started and
only re-enable them when all PR KVM instances have been destroyed.
It's a bit heavy handed, but until the hypervisor gives us a lightweight
way to toggle relocation on exceptions on a single thread it's only real
option.

Motivation:
IBM Blue Gene/Q comes with some very strange firmware that I'm trying to get out
of using in the kernel. So instead I spin all the threads in the boot wrapper
(using the firmware) and have them enter the kexec stub, pre-translated at the
virtual "linear" address, never touching firmware again.
This works strategy works wonderfully, but I need the following patch in the
kexec stub. I believe it should not effect Book3S and Book3E does not appear
to be here yet so I'd love to get any criticisms up front.
This patch adds two items:
1) Book3e requires that GPR4 survive the "hold" process, so we make
sure that happens.
2) Book3e has no real mode, and the hold code exploits this. Since
these processors ares always translated, we arrange for the kexeced
threads to enter the hold code using the normal kernel linear mapping.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.
Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:
# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.
On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc)

The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means
our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do
this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of
variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a
RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it.
32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c
with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually.
Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would
have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a
large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data).
The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates
more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot.
Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even
if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC.
This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of
prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to
process which helps keep boot times on simulators down.
gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be
safe we may want a build time script which passes through the
prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.

This patch actually hooks up doorbell interrupts on POWER8:
- Select the PPC_DOORBELL Kconfig option from PPC_PSERIES
- Add the doorbell CPU feature bit to POWER8
- We define a new pSeries_cause_ipi_mux() function that issues a
doorbell interrupt if the recipient is another thread within the same
core as the sender. If the recipient is in a different core it falls
back to using XICS to deliver the IPI as before.
- During pSeries_smp_probe() at boot, we check if doorbell interrupts
are supported. If they are we set the cause_ipi function pointer to
the above mentioned function, otherwise we leave it as whichever XICS
cause_ipi function was determined by xics_smp_probe().

This patch adds the logic to properly handle doorbells that come in when
interrupts have been soft disabled and to replay them when interrupts
are re-enabled:
- masked_##_H##interrupt is modified to leave interrupts enabled when a
doorbell has come in since doorbells are edge sensitive and as such
won't be automatically re-raised.
- __check_irq_replay now tests if a doorbell happened on book3s, and
returns either 0xe80 or 0xa00 depending on whether we are the
hypervisor or not.
- restore_check_irq_replay now tests for the two possible server
doorbell vector numbers to replay.
- __replay_interrupt also adds tests for the two server doorbell vector
numbers, and is modified to use a compare instruction rather than an
andi. on the single bit difference between 0x500 and 0x900.
The last two use a CPU feature section to avoid needlessly testing
against the hypervisor vector if it is not the hypervisor, and vice
versa.

There are a few key differences between doorbells on server compared
with embedded that we care about on Linux, namely:
- We have a new msgsndp instruction for directed privileged doorbells.
msgsnd is used for directed hypervisor doorbells.
- The tag we use in the instruction is the Thread Identification
Register of the recipient thread (since server doorbells can only
occur between threads within a single core), and is only 7 bits wide.
- A new message type is introduced for server doorbells (none of the
existing book3e message types are currently supported on book3s).

The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso
code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also
introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall()
and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop
forever in vdso code.
The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz().
Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data
unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating
the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race
condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further
causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code.
The below scenario describes the race condition,
x==0 Boot CPU other CPU
proc_P: x==0
timer interrupt
update_vsyscall
x==1 x++;sync settimeofday
update_vsyscall_tz
x==2 x++;sync
x==3 sync;x++
sync;x++
proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even)
Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not
atomic on powerpc.

SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."
Fixed up conflicts as per Al.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu
Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
"A few new features this merge-window. The most important one is
probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with
dma_mapping_error by the device driver. This requires minor changes
to some architectures which make use of dma-debug. Most of these
changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers.
Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor
the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a
hardware erratum.
The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's
tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree. The
conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is
deleted in the arm-soc tree. It is safe to delete the file too so
solve the conflict. Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in
the common clock framework migration. A missing hunk from the patch
in the IOMMU tree will be submitted as a seperate patch when the
merge-window is closed."

All architectures have
CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD
CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_EXECVE
None of them have __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and there are only two callers
of kernel_execve() (which is a trivial wrapper for do_execve() now) left.
Kill the conditionals and make both callers use do_execve().
