From Simon Horman:
Renesas ARM based SoC boot cleanup for v3.11
Work by Magnus Damm and others to clean up the boot of and move
things closer to supporting multi-arch.
As a side effect of this work it was decided to remove support for
two boards, Bonito and AP4EVB. Those patches are included in this
series as they depend on earlier patches in the series.

Patches from Lee Jones:
This gets rid of mop500_snowball_ethernet_clock_enable() which is no
longer in use. It also straightens out a bug which ensures the SMSC911x's
regulator is turned on at start-up when using Device Tree.

mop500_snowball_ethernet_clock_enable() provided a means to enable a
clock which was used for the SMSC911x Ethernet device on Snowball. It
was merely a stand-in until the driver was common clk compliant. Now
that it is, this can be removed for both DT and ATAGs booting.

When this node was added, the AB8500 GPIO driver was pretty broken.
As a hack, we pretended that NOMADIK GPIO 26 was the correct on/off
pin, as it was unused. It worked because AB8500 GPIO 26 was in an
'always on from boot' state. Now the AB8500 GPIO driver is working,
the default state for all the pins is 'off'. Let's flip back over to
use the correct GPIO which is _actually_ attached to the regulator.
We're also taking the opportunity to straighten out some formatting
misdemeanours, swapping spaces for tabs.

The recent modification in the cpuidle framework consolidated the
timer broadcast code across the different drivers by setting a new
flag in the idle state. It tells the cpuidle core code to enter/exit
the broadcast mode for the cpu when entering a deep idle state. The
broadcast timer enter/exit is no longer handled by the back-end
driver.
This change made the local interrupt to be enabled *before* calling
CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT.
On a tegra114, a four cores system, when the flag has been introduced
in the driver, the following warning appeared:
WARNING: at kernel/time/tick-broadcast.c:578 tick_broadcast_oneshot_control

I don't have the hardware, so I wasn't able to reproduce the warning
but after looking a while at the code, I deduced the following:
1. the CPU2 enters a deep idle state and sets the broadcast timer
2. the timer expires, the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast function is
called, setting the tick_broadcast_pending_mask and waking up the
idle cpu CPU2
3. the CPU2 exits idle handles the interrupt and then invokes
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT which
runs the following code:
[...]
if (dev->next_event.tv64 == KTIME_MAX)
goto out;
if (cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu,
tick_broadcast_pending_mask))
goto out;
[...]
So if there is no next event scheduled for CPU2, we fulfil the
first condition and jump out without clearing the
tick_broadcast_pending_mask.
4. CPU2 goes to deep idle again and calls
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_NOTIFY_EVENT_ENTER but
with the tick_broadcast_pending_mask set for CPU2, triggering the
warning.
The issue only surfaced due to the modifications of the cpuidle
framework, which resulted in interrupts being enabled before the call
to the clockevents code. If the call happens before interrupts have
been enabled, the warning cannot trigger, because there is still the
event pending which caused the broadcast timer expiry.
Move the check for the next event below the check for the pending bit,
so the pending bit gets cleared whether an event is scheduled on the
cpu or not.

Currently the max8973 regulator driver uses a single static struct of
regulator operations for all chip instances, but can overwrite some of its
members depending on configuration. This will affect all other MAX8973
instances on the system. This patch fixes this bug by allocating a separate
copy of the struct for each chip instance.

This adds a basic clock setup for rk3066a SoCs. Only the gates are
set up currently, as the mux and dividers should use the upcoming
generic devicetree bindings.
Clocks whose rates need to be known are supplied by fixed-rate
"dummy"-clocks that provide the correct rate. This is uncritical insofar
that the only bootloader currently in existence for Rockchip devices
is the propietary Rockchip one that always setups the clocks in the
necessary way.

With THP we set pmd to none, before we do pte_clear. Hence we can't
walk page table to get the pte lock ptr and verify whether it is locked.
THP do take pte lock before calling pte_clear. So we don't change the locking
rules here. It is that we can't use page table walking to check whether
pte locks are held with THP.

GCC is very likely to read the pagetables just once and cache them in
the local stack or in a register, but it is can also decide to re-read
the pagetables. The problem is that the pagetable in those places can
change from under gcc.
With THP/hugetlbfs the pmd (and pgd for hugetlbfs giga pages) can
change under gup_fast. The pages won't be freed untill we finish
gup fast because we have irq disabled and we free these pages via
rcu callback.

We need to have irqs disabled to handle all the possible parallel update for
linux page table without holding locks.
Events that we are intersted in while walking page tables are
1) Page fault
2) umap
3) THP split
4) THP collapse
A) local_irq_disabled:
------------------------
1) page fault:
A none to valid transition via page fault is not an issue because we
would either see a none or valid. If it is none, we would error out
the page table walk. We may need to use on stack values when checking for
type of page table elements, because if we do
if (!is_hugepd()) {
if (!pmd_none() {
if (pmd_bad() {
We could take that bad condition because the pmd got converted to a hugepd
after the !is_hugepd check via a hugetlb fault.
The right way would be to check for pmd_none higher up or use on stack value.
2) A valid to none conversion via unmap:
We can safely walk the upper level table, because we don't remove the the
page table entries until rcu grace period. So even if we followed a
wrong pointer we still have the pointer valid till the grace period.
A PTE pointer returned need to be atomically checked for _PAGE_PRESENT and
_PAGE_BUSY. A valid pointer returned could becoming none later. To prevent
pte_clear we take _PAGE_BUSY.
3) THP split:
A valid transparent hugepage is converted to nomal page. Before we split we
do pmd_splitting_flush, which sets the hugepage PTE to _PAGE_SPLITTING
So when walking page table we need to check for pmd_trans_splitting and
handle that. The pte returned should also need to be checked for
_PAGE_SPLITTING before setting _PAGE_BUSY similar to _PAGE_PRESENT. We save
the value of PTE on stack and check for the flag in the local pte value.
If we don't have the value set we can safely operate on the local pte value
and we atomicaly set _PAGE_BUSY.
4) THP collapse:
A normal page gets converted to hugepage. In the collapse path, we
mark the pmd none early (pmdp_clear_flush). With irq disabled, if we
are aleady walking page table we would see the pmd_none and won't continue.
If we see a valid PMD, we should still check for _PAGE_PRESENT before
setting _PAGE_BUSY, to make sure we didn't collapse the PTE to a Huge PTE.

We now have pmd entries covering 16MB range and the PMD table double its original size.
We use the second half of the PMD table to deposit the pgtable (PTE page).
The depoisted PTE page is further used to track the HPTE information. The information
include [ secondary group | 3 bit hidx | valid ]. We use one byte per each HPTE entry.
With 16MB hugepage and 64K HPTE we need 256 entries and with 4K HPTE we need
4096 entries. Both will fit in a 4K PTE page. On hugepage invalidate we need to walk
the PTE page and invalidate all valid HPTEs.
This patch implements necessary arch specific functions for THP support and also
hugepage invalidate logic. These PMD related functions are intentionally kept
similar to their PTE counter-part.

THP code does PTE page allocation along with large page request and deposit them
for later use. This is to ensure that we won't have any failures when we split
hugepages to regular pages.
On powerpc we want to use the deposited PTE page for storing hash pte slot and
secondary bit information for the HPTEs. We use the second half
of the pmd table to save the deposted PTE page.

If a hash bucket gets full, we "evict" a more/less random entry from it.
When we do that we don't invalidate the TLB (hpte_remove) because we assume
the old translation is still technically "valid". This implies that when
we are invalidating or updating pte, even if HPTE entry is not valid
we should do a tlb invalidate. With hugepages, we need to pass the correct
actual page size value for tlb invalidation.
This change update the patch 0608d692463598c1d6e826d9dd7283381b4f246c

each PHB so that we can hook EEH error injection debugfs entry
there in proceeding patch.

The patch registers OPAL event notifier and process the PCI errors
from firmware. If we have pending PCI errors, special EEH event
(without binding PE) will be sent to EEH core for processing.

This patch implements a notifier to receive a notification on OPAL
event mask changes. The notifier is only called as a result of an OPAL
interrupt, which will happen upon reception of FSP messages or PCI errors.
Any event mask change detected as a result of opal_poll_events() will not
result in a notifier call.

[Purpose of this patch]
As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors
are useful.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html
<snip>
The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when
the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
running processes.
There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives
us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.
The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to
know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when
the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
<snip>
On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and
getting a value of instruction pointer.
I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before.
But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap.
So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now.
[Patch Description]
Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events.
But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events.
In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events.
So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit.
so that we can enable them independently.
- local_timer_vector
- reschedule_vector
- call_function_vector
- call_function_single_vector
- irq_work_entry_vector
- error_apic_vector
- thermal_apic_vector
- threshold_apic_vector
- spurious_apic_vector
- x86_platform_ipi_vector
Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty
makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows.
- Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq().
- Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to
_set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table.
- Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing
macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers.
- Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt().
This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons.
- Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled.
- On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging
is disabled.
In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being
used for other purposes.

Rename variables for debugging to describe meaning of them precisely.
Also, introduce a generic way to switch IDT by checking a current state,
debug on/off.

When implementing tracepoints in interrupt handers, if the tracepoints are
simply added in the performance sensitive path of interrupt handers,
it may cause potential performance problem due to the time penalty.
To solve the problem, an idea is to prepare non-trace/trace irq handers and
switch their IDTs at the enabling/disabling time.
So, let's introduce entering_irq()/exiting_irq() for pre/post-
processing of each irq handler.
A way to use them is as follows.
Non-trace irq handler:
smp_irq_handler()
{
entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */
__smp_irq_handler(); /*
* common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
* in a vector.
*/
exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */
}
Trace irq_handler:
smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */
trace_irq_entry(); /* tracepoint for irq entry */
__smp_irq_handler(); /*
* common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
* in a vector.
*/
trace_irq_exit(); /* tracepoint for irq exit */
exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */
}
If tracepoints can place outside entering_irq()/exiting_irq() as follows,
it looks cleaner.
smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
trace_irq_entry();
smp_irq_handler();
trace_irq_exit();
}
But it doesn't work.
The problem is with irq_enter/exit() being called. They must be called before
trace_irq_enter/exit(), because of the rcu_irq_enter() must be called before
any tracepoints are used, as tracepoints use rcu to synchronize.
As a possible alternative, we may be able to call irq_enter() first as follows
if irq_enter() can nest.
smp_trace_irq_hander()
{
irq_entry();
trace_irq_entry();
smp_irq_handler();
trace_irq_exit();
irq_exit();
}
But it doesn't work, either.
If irq_enter() is nested, it may have a time penalty because it has to check if it
was already called or not. The time penalty is not desired in performance sensitive
paths even if it is tiny.

Each TRACE_EVENT() adds several helper functions. If two or more trace events
share the same structure and print format, they can also share most of these
helper functions and save a lot of space from duplicate code. This is why the
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT() were created.
Some events require a trigger to be called at registering and unregistering of
the event and to do so they use TRACE_EVENT_FN().
If multiple events require a trigger, they currently have no choice but to use
TRACE_EVENT_FN() as there's no DEFINE_EVENT_FN() available. This unfortunately
causes a lot of wasted duplicate code created.
By adding a DEFINE_EVENT_FN(), these events can still use a
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and then define their own triggers.

There is no point in using "xorq" to clear a register... use "xorl" to
clear the bottom 32 bits, and the upper 32 bits get cleared by virtue
of zero extension.

The call stack below shows how this happens: basically eager_fpu_init()
calls __thread_fpu_begin(current) which then does if (!use_eager_fpu()),
which, in turn, uses static_cpu_has.
And we're executing before alternatives so static_cpu_has doesn't work
there yet.
Use the safe variant in this path which becomes optimal after
alternatives have run.
