As suggested by paulus we can simplify the Data Stream Control Register
(DSCR) Facility Status and Control Register (FSCR) handling.
Firstly, we simplify the asm by using a rldimi.
Secondly, we now use the FSCR only to control the DSCR facility, rather
than both the FSCR and HFSCR. Users will see no functional change from
this but will get a minor speedup as they will trap into the kernel only
once (rather than twice) when they first touch the DSCR. Also, this
changes removes a bunch of ugly FTR_SECTION code.

Currently the OF_DYNAMIC and kref initialization for a node happens in
dlpar_attach_node. However, a node passed to dlpar_attach_node may be a tree
containing child nodes, and no initialization traversal is done on the
tree. Since the children never get their kref initialized or the OF_DYNAMIC
flag set these nodes are prevented from ever being released from memory
should they become detached. This initialization step is better done at the
time each node is allocated in dlpar_parse_cc_node.

On the first call to ibm,update-properties for a node the first property
returned is the full node path. Currently this is not parsed correctly by the
update_dt_node function. Commit 2e9b7b0 attempted to fix this, but was
incorrect as it made a wrong assumption about the layout of the first
property in the work area. Further, if ibm,update-properties must be called
multiple times for the same node this special property should only be skipped
after the initial call. The first property descriptor returned consists of
the property name, property value length, and property value. The property
name is an empty string, property length is encoded in 4 byte integer, and
the property value is the node path.

The update_props_workarea struct contains 20 bytes worth of fields, that map
to the relevant header data, but the sizeof the structure is 24 bytes due to

In the program check handler we handle some causes with interrupts off
and others with interrupts on.
We need to enable interrupts to handle the emulation cases, because they
access userspace memory and might sleep.
For faults in the kernel we don't want to do any emulation, and
emulate_instruction() enforces that. do_mathemu() doesn't but probably
should.
The other disadvantage of enabling interrupts for kernel faults is that
we may take another interrupt, and recurse. As seen below:
--- Exception: e40 at c000000000004ee0 performance_monitor_relon_pSeries_1
[link register ] c00000000000f858 .arch_local_irq_restore+0x38/0x90

So avoid both problems by checking if the fault was in the kernel and
skipping the enable of interrupts and the emulation. Go straight to
delivering the SIGILL, which for kernel faults calls die() and so on,
dropping us in the debugger etc.

The VSX alignment handler needs to write out the existing VSX
state to memory before operating on it (flush_vsx_to_thread()).
If we take a VSX alignment exception in the kernel bad things
will happen. It looks like we could write the kernel state out
to the user process, or we could handle the kernel exception
using data from the user process (depending if MSR_VSX is set
or not).
Worse still, if the code to read or write the VSX state causes an
alignment exception, we will recurse forever. I ended up with
hundreds of megabytes of kernel stack to look through as a result.
Floating point and SPE code have similar issues but already include
a user check. Add the same check to emulate_vsx().
With this patch any unaligned VSX loads and stores in the kernel
will show up as a clear oops rather than silent corruption of
kernel or userspace VSX state, or worse, corruption of a potentially
unlimited amount of kernel memory.

KVM uses anon_inode_get() to allocate file descriptors as part

In such case it's advised to use O_CLOEXEC by default so that
userspace is allowed to choose, without race, if the file descriptor
is going to be inherited across exec().
This patch set O_CLOEXEC flag on all file descriptors created
with anon_inode_getfd() to not leak file descriptors across exec().

This patch moves the generalized implementation of of_get_cpu_node from
PowerPC to DT core library, thereby adding support for retrieving cpu
node for a given logical cpu index on any architecture.
The CPU subsystem can now use this function to assign of_node in the
cpu device while registering CPUs.
It is recommended to use these helper function only in pre-SMP/early
initialisation stages to retrieve CPU device node pointers in logical
ordering. Once the cpu devices are registered, it can be retrieved easily
from cpu device of_node which avoids unnecessary parsing and matching.

Currently different drivers requiring to access cpu device node are
parsing the device tree themselves. Since the ordering in the DT need
not match the logical cpu ordering, the parsing logic needs to consider
that. However, this has resulted in lots of code duplication and in some
cases even incorrect logic.
It's better to consolidate them by adding support for getting cpu
device node for a given logical cpu index in DT core library. However
logical to physical index mapping can be architecture specific.
PowerPC has it's own implementation to get the cpu node for a given
logical index.
This patch refactors the current implementation of of_get_cpu_node.
This in preparation to move the implementation to DT core library.
It separates out the logical to physical mapping so that a default
matching of the physical id to the logical cpu index can be added
when moved to common code. Architecture specific code can override it.

Some CPUs (such as e500v1/v2) don't implement mftb and will take a
trap. mfspr should work on everything that has a timebase, and is the
preferred instruction according to ISA v2.06.
Currently we get away with mftb on 85xx because the assembler converts
it to mfspr due to -Wa,-me500. However, that flag has other effects
that are undesireable for certain targets (e.g. lwsync is converted to
sync), and is hostile to multiplatform kernels. Thus we would like to
stop setting it for all e500-family builds.
mftb/mftbu instances which are in 85xx code or common code are
converted. Instances which will never run on 85xx are left alone.
Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>
Erratum A-006598 says that 64-bit mftb is not atomic -- it's subject
to a similar race condition as doing mftbu/mftbl on 32-bit. The lower
half of timebase is updated before the upper half; thus, we can share
the workaround for a similar bug on Cell. This workaround involves
looping if the lower half of timebase is zero, thus avoiding the need
for a scratch register (other than CR0). This workaround must be
avoided when the timebase is frozen, such as during the timebase sync
code.
This deals with kernel and vdso accesses, but other userspace accesses
will of course need to be fixed elsewhere.

Pull nohz improvements from Frederic Weisbecker:
" It mostly contains fixes and full dynticks off-case optimizations. I believe that
distros want to enable this feature so it seems important to optimize the case
where the "nohz_full=" parameter is empty. ie: I'm trying to remove any performance
regression that comes with NO_HZ_FULL=y when the feature is not used.
This patchset improves the current situation a lot (off-case appears to be around 11% faster
with hackbench, although I guess it may vary depending on the configuration but it should be
significantly faster in any case) now there is still some work to do: I can still observe a
remaining loss of 1.6% throughput seen with hackbench compared to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=n. "
