In 2ac6f42 powerpc/cputable: Fix oprofile_cpu_type on power8
we broke all power8 hw events.
This reverts this change and uses oprofile_type instead. Perf now works
on POWER8 again and oprofile will revert to using timers on POWER8.
Kudos to mpe this fix.

If a BAR has the value of 0, we would assume that it is unset yet and
then mark the resource as unset and would reassign it later. But after
commit 6c5705fe (powerpc/PCI: get rid of device resource fixups)
the pcibios_fixup_resources is invoked after the bus address was
translated to linux resource. So the value of res->start is resource
address. And since the resource and bus address may be different, we
should translate it to the bus address before doing the check.

Commit a9c4e541ea
"powerpc/kprobe: Complete kprobe and migrate exception frame"
introduced a regression:
While returning from exception handling in case of PREEMPT enabled,
_TIF_NEED_RESCHED bit is checked in TI_FLAGS (thread_info flag) of current
task. Only if this bit is set, it should continue with the process of
calling preempt_schedule_irq() to schedule highest priority task if
available.
Current code assumes that r8 contains TI_FLAGS and check this for
_TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but as r8 is modified in the code which executes before
this check, r8 no longer contains the expected TI_FLAGS information.
As a result check for comparison with _TIF_NEED_RESCHED was failing even if
NEED_RESCHED bit is set in the current thread_info flag. Due to this,
preempt_schedule_irq() and in turn scheduler was not getting called even if
highest priority task is ready for execution.
So, store temporary results in r0 instead of r8 to prevent r8 from getting
modified as subsequent code is dependent on its value.

Maynard informed me that neither the oprofile kernel module nor oprofile
userspace has been updated to support that "legacy" oprofile module
interface for power8, which is indicated by "ppc64/power8." This results
in no samples. The solution is to default to the "timer" type, instead.
The raw entry also should be updated, as "ppc64/ibm-compat-v1" indicates
to oprofile userspace to use "compatibility events" which are obsolete
in ISA 2.07.

When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with
the stack. It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin.
The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that
returns before a tend. In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed
transactional memory state. If we write over this non transactionally or in
suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter
and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be
valid anymore.
To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use
the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated
state. This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be
written below the stack required for the rollback. The transaction is aborted
becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the
signal will be rolled back anyway.
For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the
normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer.

If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that
touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional
suspend context. We need to abort these transactions and send them back to
userspace for the hardware to rollback.
We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the
kernel will operate in the same suspend context.
This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction
emulations (only string instructions for now). If the user process is in an
active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to
userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the
failure. This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the
persistent error to the user.

MSR_DE is not cleared on entry to the kernel, and we don't clear it
explicitly outside of debug code. If we have MSR_DE set in
prime_debug_regs(), and the new thread has events enabled in DBCR0
(e.g. ICMP is set in thread->dbsr0, even though it was cleared in the
real DBCR0 when the thread got scheduled out), we'll end up taking a
debug exception in the kernel when DBCR0 is loaded. DSRR0 will not
point to an exception vector, and the kernel ends up hanging at
kernel_dbg_exc. Fix this by always clearing MSR_DE when we load new
debug state.
Another observed source of kernel_dbg_exc hangs is with the branch
taken event. If this event is active, but we take a non-debug trap
(e.g. a TLB miss or an asynchronous interrupt) before the next branch.
We end up taking a branch-taken debug exception on the initial branch
instruction of the exception vector, but because the debug exception is
DBSR_BT rather than DBSR_IC we branch to kernel_dbg_exc before even
checking the DSRR0 address. Fix this by checking for DBSR_BT as well
as DBSR_IC, which is what 32-bit does and what the comments suggest was
intended in the 64-bit code as well.

commit b3f271e86e (powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and

kexec calls memcpy() at a point where the task struct may have been
overwritten by the new kexec segments. If it has been overwritten
then when memcpy -> enable_altivec looks up current->thread.regs->msr
we get a cryptic oops or lockup.

The PCI core supports an offset per aperture nowadays but our arch
code still has a single offset per host bridge representing the
difference betwen CPU memory addresses and PCI MMIO addresses.
This is a problem as new machines and hypervisor versions are
coming out where the 64-bit windows will have a different offset
(basically mapped 1:1) from the 32-bit windows.
This fixes it by using separate offsets. In the long run, we probably
want to get rid of that intermediary struct pci_controller and have
those directly stored into the pci_host_bridge as they are parsed
but this will be a more invasive change.

Clean up some of the problems with the rtas_flash driver:
(1) It shouldn't fiddle with the internals of the procfs filesystem (altering
pde->count).
(2) If pid namespaces are in effect, then you can get multiple inodes
connected to a single pde, thereby rendering the pde->count > 2 test
useless.
(3) The pde->count fudging doesn't work for forked, dup'd or cloned file
descriptors, so add static mutexes and use them to wrap access to the
driver through read, write and release methods.
(4) The driver can only handle one device, so allocate most of the data
previously attached to the pde->data as static variables instead (though
allocate the validation data buffer with kmalloc).
(5) We don't need to save the pde pointers as long as we have the filenames
available for removal.
(6) Don't try to multiplex what the update file read method does based on the
filename. Instead provide separate file ops and split the function.
Whilst we're at it, tabulate the procfile information and loop through it when
creating or destroying them rather than manually coding each one.
