On my SMP platform which is made of 5 cores in 2 clusters, I
have the nr_busy_cpu field of sched_group_power struct that is
not null when the platform is fully idle - which makes the
scheduler unhappy.
The root cause is:
During the boot sequence, some CPUs reach the idle loop and set
their NOHZ_IDLE flag while waiting for others CPUs to boot. But
the nr_busy_cpus field is initialized later with the assumption
that all CPUs are in the busy state whereas some CPUs have
already set their NOHZ_IDLE flag.
More generally, the NOHZ_IDLE flag must be initialized when new
sched_domains are created in order to ensure that NOHZ_IDLE and
nr_busy_cpus are aligned.
This condition can be ensured by adding a synchronize_rcu()
between the destruction of old sched_domains and the creation of
new ones so the NOHZ_IDLE flag will not be updated with old
sched_domain once it has been initialized. But this solution
introduces a additionnal latency in the rebuild sequence that is
called during cpu hotplug.
As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker, another solution is to have
the same rcu lifecycle for both NOHZ_IDLE and sched_domain
struct. A new nohz_idle field is added to sched_domain so both
status and sched_domain will share the same RCU lifecycle and
will be always synchronized. In addition, there is no more need
to protect nohz_idle against concurrent access as it is only
modified by 2 exclusive functions called by local cpu.
This solution has been prefered to the creation of a new struct
with an extra pointer indirection for sched_domain.
The synchronization is done at the cost of :
- An additional indirection and a rcu_dereference for accessing nohz_idle.
- We use only the nohz_idle field of the top sched_domain.

On resume from CPU power down any trace hooks enabled in cpu_init()
will get called before that function has done set_my_cpu_offset(),
so any use of per-cpu variables by trace hook code will cause bad
things to happen. Prevent this by marking the function notrace.
This fixes lockups/crashes seen when enabling function tracer on TC2

There was a timing window when a GFS2 file system was unmounted
that caused GFS2 to call BUG() and panic the kernel. The call
to BUG() is meant to ensure that the glock reference count,
gl_ref, never gets down to zero and bounce back up again. What was
happening during umount is that function gfs2_put_super was dequeing
its glocks for well-known files. In particular, we saw it on the
journal glock, sd_jinode_gh. The dequeue caused delayed work to be
queued for the glock state machine, to transition the lock to an
"unlocked" state. While the work was still queued, gfs2_put_super
called gfs2_gl_hash_clear to clear out the glock hash tables.
If the timing was just so, the glock work function would drop the
reference count at the time when it was being checked for zero,
and that caused BUG() to be called. This patch calls
flush_workqueue before clearing the glock hash tables, thereby
ensuring that the delayed work is executed before the hash tables
are cleared, and therefore the reference count never goes to zero
until the glock is cleared.

One testbox of mine (Intel Nehalem, 16-way) uses MWAIT for its idle routine,
which apparently can break out of its idle loop rather frequently, with
high frequency.
In that case NO_HZ_FULL=y kernels show high ksoftirqd overhead and constant
context switching, because tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() will, if
delta_jiffies == 0, mis-identify this as a timer event - activating the
TIMER_SOFTIRQ, which wakes up ksoftirqd.
Fix this by treating delta_jiffies == 0 the same way we treat other short
wakeups, delta_jiffies == 1.

Linus found, while extending integer type extension checks in the
sparse static code checker, various fragile patterns of mixed
signed/unsigned 64-bit/32-bit integer use in perf_events_p4.c.
The relevant hardware register ABI is 64 bit wide on 32-bit
kernels as well, so clean it all up a bit, remove unnecessary
casts, and make sure we use 64-bit unsigned integers in these
places.

The pci config space accessors on s390 are (now) smart enough to
figure out if a pci function is available. So instead of calling
pci_create_root_bus and then pci_scan_single_device for each
available function just call pci_scan_root_bus and let the pci core
do the scanning (via config reads on all possible functions) and
device creation.

In case a machine supports memory hotplug all active memory increments
present at IPL time have been initialized with a "usecount" of 1.
This is wrong if the memory increment size is larger than the memory
section size of the memory hotplug code. If that is the case the
usecount must be initialized with the number of memory sections that
fit into one memory increment.
Otherwise it is possible to put a memory increment into standby state
even if there are still active sections.
Afterwards addressing exceptions might happen which cause the kernel
to panic.
However even worse, if a memory increment was put into standby state
and afterwards into active state again, it's contents would have been
zeroed, leading to memory corruption.
This was only an issue for machines that support standby memory and
have at least 256GB memory.
This is broken since commit fdb1bb15 "[S390] sclp/memory hotplug: fix
initial usecount of increments".

This patch adds new POWER8 instruction encoding for reading

instruction 'mfbhrbe' (move from branch history rolling buffer
entry) is used to read BHRB buffer entries and instruction
'clrbhrb' (clear branch history rolling buffer) is used to
clear the entire buffer. The instruction 'clrbhrb' has straight
forward encoding. But the instruction encoding format for
reading the BHRB entries is like 'mfbhrbe RT, BHRBE' where it
takes two arguments, i.e the index for the BHRB buffer entry to
read and a general purpose register to put the value which was
read from the buffer entry.

In perf_ip_adjust() we potentially use the MMCRA[SLOT] field to adjust
the reported IP of a sampled instruction.
Currently the logic is written so that if the backend does NOT have
the PPMU_ALT_SIPR flag set then we assume MMCRA[SLOT] exists.
However on power8 we do not want to set ALT_SIPR (it's in a third
location), and we also do not have MMCRA[SLOT].
So add a new flag which only indicates whether MMCRA[SLOT] exists.
Naively we'd set it on everything except power6/7, because they set
ALT_SIPR, and we've reversed the polarity of the flag. But it's more
complicated than that.
mpc7450 is 32-bit, and uses its own version of perf_ip_adjust()
which doesn't use MMCRA[SLOT], so it doesn't need the new flag set and
the behaviour is unchanged.
PPC970 (and I assume power4) don't have MMCRA[SLOT], so shouldn't have
the new flag set. This is a behaviour change on those cpus, though we
were probably getting lucky and the bits in question were 0.
power5 and power5+ set the new flag, behaviour unchanged.
power6 & power7 do not set the new flag, behaviour unchanged.

Building a 64-bit powerpc kernel with PR KVM enabled currently gives

arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:258: Error: attempt to move .org backwards
make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o] Error 1
This happens because the MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro turns into
33 instructions, but we only have space for 32 at the decrementer
interrupt vector (from 0x900 to 0x980).
In the code generated by the MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro, we
currently have two instances of the HMT_MEDIUM macro, which has the
effect of setting the SMT thread priority to medium. One is the
first instruction, and is overwritten by a no-op on processors where
we save the PPR (processor priority register), that is, POWER7 or
later. The other is after we have saved the PPR.
In order to reduce the code at 0x900 by one instruction, we omit the
first HMT_MEDIUM. On processors without SMT this will have no effect
since HMT_MEDIUM is a no-op there. On POWER5 and RS64 machines this
will mean that the first few instructions take a little longer in the
case where a decrementer interrupt occurs when the hardware thread is
running at low SMT priority. On POWER6 and later machines, the
hardware automatically boosts the thread priority when a decrementer
interrupt is taken if the thread priority was below medium, so this
change won't make any difference.
The alternative would be to branch out of line after saving the CFAR.
However, that would incur an extra overhead on all processors, whereas
the approach adopted here only adds overhead on older threaded processors.

The new PRRN firmware feature provides a more convenient and event-driven
interface than VPHN for notifying Linux of changes to the NUMA affinity of
platform resources. However, for practical reasons, it may not be feasible
for some customers to update to the latest firmware. For these customers,
the VPHN feature supported on previous firmware versions may still be the
best option.
The VPHN feature was previously disabled due to races with the load
balancing code when accessing the NUMA cpu maps, but the new stop_machine()
approach protects the NUMA cpu maps from these concurrent accesses. It
should be safe to re-enable this feature now.

The new PRRN firmware feature allows CPU and memory resources to be
transparently reassigned across NUMA boundaries. When this happens, the
kernel must update the node maps to reflect the new affinity information.
Although the NUMA maps can be protected by locking primitives during the
update itself, this is insufficient to prevent concurrent accesses to these
structures. Since cpumask_of_node() hands out a pointer to these
structures, they can still be modified outside of the lock. Furthermore,
tracking down each usage of these pointers and adding locks would be quite
invasive and difficult to maintain.
The approach used is to make a list of affected cpus and call stop_machine
to have the update routine run on each of the affected cpus allowing them
to update themselves. Each cpu finds itself in the list of cpus and makes
the appropriate updates. We need to have each cpu do this for themselves to
handle calls to vdso_getcpu_init() added in a subsequent patch.
Situations like these are best handled using stop_machine(). Since the NUMA
affinity updates are exceptionally rare events, this approach has the
benefit of not adding any overhead while accessing the NUMA maps during
normal operation.

Platform events such as partition migration or the new PRRN firmware
feature can cause the NUMA characteristics of a CPU to change, and these
changes will be reflected in the device tree nodes for the affected
CPUs.
This patch registers a handler for Open Firmware device tree updates
and reconfigures the CPU and node maps whenever the associativity
changes. Currently, this is accomplished by marking the affected CPUs in
the cpu_associativity_changes_mask and allowing
arch_update_cpu_topology() to retrieve the new associativity information
using hcall_vphn().
Protecting the NUMA cpu maps from concurrent access during an update
operation will be addressed in a subsequent patch in this series.

5 bits
The firmware_has_feature() function makes it easy to check for supported
features of the hypervisor. This patch extends the capability of
firmware_has_feature() to include checking for specified bits
in vector 5 of the architecture vector as reported in the device tree.
As part of this the #defines used for the architecture vector are re-defined
such that each option has the index into vector 5 and the feature bit encoded
into it. This makes checking for architecture bits when initiating data
for firmware_has_feature much easier.

When iterating over the entries in firmware_features_table we only need
to go over the actual number of entries in the array instead of declaring
it to be bigger and checking to make sure there is a valid entry in every
slot.
This patch removes the FIRMWARE_MAX_FEATURES #define and replaces the
array looping with the use of ARRAY_SIZE().

As part of handling of PRRN events we need to check vector 5 of the
architecture vector bits reported in the device tree to ensure PRRN event
handling is enabled. To do this firmware_has_feature() is updated (in a
subsequent patch) to make this check vector 5 bits. To avoid having to
re-define bits in the architecture vector the bit definitions are moved
to prom.h.
