This patch adds the base support for the 476 processor. The code was
primarily written by Ben Herrenschmidt and Torez Smith, but I've been
maintaining it for a while.
The goal is to have a single binary that will run on 44x and 47x, but
we still have some details to work out. The biggest is that the L1 cache
line size differs on the two platforms, but it's currently a compile-time
option.

The current setting for SECTION_SIZE_BITS is quite small compared to
everyone else:
arch/powerpc/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 24
arch/sparc/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 30
arch/ia64/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS (30)
arch/s390/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 28
arch/x86/include/asm/sparsemem.h:# define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 27
And it has proven to be an issue during boot on very large machines.
If hotplug memory is enabled, drivers/base/memory.c does this:
for (i = 0; i < NR_MEM_SECTIONS; i++) {
if (!present_section_nr(i))
continue;
err = add_memory_block(0, __nr_to_section(i), MEM_ONLINE,
0, BOOT);
if (!ret)
ret = err;
}
Which creates a sysfs directory for every 16MB of memory. As a result
I'm seeing up to 30 minutes spent here during boot:
c000000000248ee0 .__sysfs_add_one+0x28/0x128
c0000000002492a8 .sysfs_add_one+0x38/0x188

I assume there are some O(n^2) issues in sysfs as we add all the memory
nodes. Bumping SECTION_SIZE_BITS to 256 MB drops the time to about 10

We have had issues in the past with ibm,os-term initiating shutdown of a
partition. This is confusing to the user, especially if panic_timeout is
non zero.
The temporary fix was to avoid calling ibm,os-term if a panic_timeout was set
and since we set it on every boot we basically never call ibm,os-term.
An extended version of ibm,os-term has since been implemented which gives us
the behaviour we want:
"When the platform supports extended ibm,os-term behavior, the return to the
RTAS will always occur unless there is a kernel assisted dump active as
initiated by an ibm,configure-kernel-dump call."
This patch checks for the ibm,extended-os-term property and calls ibm,os-term
if it exists.

I noticed /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode was 0 on a ppc64 NUMA box. It gets
enabled via this:
/*
* If another node is sufficiently far away then it is better
* to reclaim pages in a zone before going off node.
*/
if (distance > RECLAIM_DISTANCE)
zone_reclaim_mode = 1;
Since we use the default value of 20 for REMOTE_DISTANCE and 20 for
RECLAIM_DISTANCE it never kicks in.
The local to remote bandwidth ratios can be quite large on System p
machines so it makes sense for us to reclaim clean pagecache locally before
going off node.
The patch below sets a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE and thus enables
zone reclaim.

Commit 0119536c, which added the assembly version of strncmp to
powerpc, mentions that it adds two instructions to the version from
boot/string.S to allow it to handle len=0. Unfortunately, it doesn't
always return 0 when that is the case. The length is passed in r5, but
the return value is passed back in r3. In certain cases, this will
happen to work. Otherwise it will pass back the address of the first
string as the return value.
This patch lifts the len <= 0 handling code from memcpy to handle that
case.

of/flattree: Fix unhandled OF_DT_NOP tag when unflattening the device tree
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The description says:
Cause IO segments sent to a device for DMA to be merged virtually
by the IOMMU when they happen to have been allocated contiguously.
This doesn't add pressure to the IOMMU allocator. However, some
drivers don't support getting large merged segments coming back
from *_map_sg().
Most drivers don't have this problem; it is safe to say Y here.
It's out of date. Long ago, drivers didn't have a way to tell IOMMUs
about their segment length limit (that is, the maximum segment length
that they can handle). So IOMMUs merged as many segments as possible
and gave too large segments to drivers.
dma_get_max_seg_size() was introduced to solve the above
problem. Device drives can use the API to tell IOMMU about the maximum
segment length that they can handle. In addition, the default limit
(64K) should be safe for everyone.
So this config option seems to be unnecessary.
Note that this config option just enables users to disable the virtual
merging by default. Users can still disable the virtual merging by the
boot parameter.

It's implemented in assembly because that way we can be sure there isn't
a stack frame for perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs. If it was in C, gcc might
or might not create a stack frame for it, which would affect the number
of levels we have to skip.

We shouldn't be always setting 'M' in the TLB entry since its reasonable
for somethings to be mapped non-coherent. The PTE should have 'M' set
properly.

e500v1/v2 based chips will treat any reserved field being set in an
opcode as illegal. Thus always setting the hint in the opcode is
a bad idea.
Anton should be kept away from the powerpc opcode map.
