This adds a test of the switch_endian() syscall we added in the previous
commit.
We test it by calling the endian switch syscall, and then executing some
code in the other endian to check everything went as expected. That code
checks registers we expect to be maintained are. If the endian switch
failed to happen that code sequence will be illegal and cause the test
to abort.
We then switch back to the original endian, do the same checks and
finally write a success message and exit(0).

We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is
syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall
exception entry.
That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the
usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't
recognise the syscall at all.
Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall
exception entry, which is complicated enough without it.
As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a
regular syscall that implements the same functionality.
The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace
MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the
special syscall clobbers fewer registers.
This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7.

During suspend/migration operation we must wait for the VASI state reported
by the hypervisor to become Suspending prior to making the ibm,suspend-me
RTAS call. Calling routines to rtas_ibm_supend_me() pass a vasi_state variable
that exposes the VASI state to the caller. This is unnecessary as the caller
only really cares about the following three conditions; if there is an error
we should bailout, success indicating we have suspended and woken back up so
proceed to device tree update, or we are not suspendable yet so try calling
rtas_ibm_suspend_me again shortly.
This patch removes the extraneous vasi_state variable and simply uses the
return code to communicate how to proceed. We either succeed, fail, or get
-EAGAIN in which case we sleep for a second before trying to call
rtas_ibm_suspend_me again. The behaviour of ppc_rtas() remains the same,
but migrate_store() now returns the propogated error code on failure.
Previously -1 was returned from migrate_store() in the failure case which
equates to -EPERM and was clearly wrong.

Sometimes the KVM code on powerpc needs to emulate load or store
instructions from the guest, which can include both normal and byte
reversed forms.
We currently (AFAICT) handle this correctly, but some variable names are
very misleading. In particular we use "is_bigendian" in several places to
actually mean "is the IO the same endian as the host", but we now support
little-endian powerpc hosts. This also ties into the misleadingly named
ld_le*() and st_le*() functions, which in fact always byteswap, even on
an LE host.
This patch cleans this up by renaming to more accurate "host_swabbed", and
uses the generic swab*() functions instead of the powerpc specific and
misleadingly named ld_le*() and st_le*() functions.

When the MXC MMUC driver is used on a Freescale MPC512x machine, it
contains some additional byteswapping code (I'm assuming this is a
workaround for a hardware defect). This uses the ppc specific st_le32()
function, but there's no reason not to use the generic swab32() function
instead. gcc is capable of generating the efficient ppc byte-reversing
load/store instructions without the arch-specific helper.
This patch, therefore, switches to the generic byteswap routine.

Originally, EEH probes on device_node or pci_dev and populates the

on pci_dn and populates the corresponding eeh_dev. So we have to
cache some information in pci_dn, either from device_node or SRIOV
PF's enablement platform hook, to populate the eeh_dev properly.
The motivation to probe pci_dn, instead of device node or pci_dev,
to populate eeh_dev is SRIOV VFs are dynamically created and we
don't have the corresponding device nodes for them.

Currently, the PCI config accessors are implemented based on device node.
Unfortunately, SRIOV VFs won't have the corresponding device nodes. pci_dn
will be used in replacement with device node for SRIOV VFs. So we have to
use pci_dn in PCI config accessors.
The patch refactors pci_dn in following aspects to make it ready to be used
in PCI config accessors as we do in subsequent patch:
* pci_dn is organized as a hierarchy tree. PCI device's pci_dn is
put to the child list of pci_dn of its upstream bridge or PHB. VF's
pci_dn will be put to the child list of pci_dn of PF's bridge.
* For one particular PCI device (VF or not), its pci_dn can be
found from pdev->dev.archdata.pci_data, PCI_DN(devnode), or
parent's list. The fast path (fetching pci_dn through PCI device
instance) is populated during early fixup time.

The /sys/kernel/mobility/migration interface was added all the way back
in 2.6.37. However, the drmgr userspace tool was never augmented to use
this interface to perfrom migrations. Instead it has continued using a
faux rtas call coupled with performing the device tree update processing
in userspace and communicating it back to the kernel via the ugly
/proc/ppc64/ofdt interface.
Up until 3.12 the device tree update code in the kernel was badly broken
and bit rotting. This code was fixed in 3.12 and is now utilized by the
kernel suspend code as of 3.15. The kernel is now better suited to
handle the post-mobility fixup of the device tree and drmgr should be
transitioned to using the sysfs migration interface.
This patch introduces the api_version sysfs file to /sys/kernel/mobility
as a means for drmgr to query the current implementation level of the
kernel migration code. This initial versioning indicates it is capable
of perfroming all current PAPR requirements for migration including the
post-mobility firmware activation and device tree update.

The power7_nap(), power7_sleep() and power7_winkle() functions are
called from pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self(), which expects them to return the
SRR1 value set by the hardware on wakeup, or 0 if no nap/sleep/winkle
occurred. However, in the case where an interrupt needs to be
replayed, the logic in power7_powersave_common (the common code for
power7_nap et al.) doesn't set r3 to 0 in this case. Instead what we
get as the return value is the selector for the type of power-saving
mode requested (1, 2 or 3). In fact this should not affect the
operation of pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self(), but it is better to get this
correct, so this adds an instruction to set r3 to 0 in this case.

ppc has special instruction forms to efficiently load and store values
in non-native endianness. These can be accessed via the arch-specific
{ld,st}_le{16,32}() inlines in arch/powerpc/include/asm/swab.h.
However, gcc is perfectly capable of generating the byte-reversing
load/store instructions when using the normal, generic cpu_to_le*() and
le*_to_cpu() functions eaning the arch-specific functions don't have much
point.
Worse the "le" in the names of the arch specific functions is now
misleading, because they always generate byte-reversing forms, but some
ppc machines can now run a little-endian kernel.
To start getting rid of the arch-specific forms, this patch removes them
from all the old Power Macintosh drivers, replacing them with the
generic byteswappers.

This patch extends pstore, a generic interface to platform dependent
persistent storage, support for powernv platform to capture certain
useful information, during dying moments. Such support is already in
place for pseries platform. This patch re-uses most of that code.
It is a common practice to compile kernels with both CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES=y
and CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV=y. The code in nvram_init_oops_partition() routine
still works as intended, as the caller is platform specific code which
passes the appropriate value for "rtas_partition_exists" parameter.
In all other places, where CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES or CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV
flag is used in this patchset, it is to reduce the kernel size in cases
where this flag is not set and doesn't have any impact logic wise.

This patch adds a new PPC64 partition type to be used for opal
specific nvram partition. A new partition type is needed as none
of the existing type matches this partition type.

With minor checks, we can move most of the code for nvram
under pseries to a common place to be re-used by other
powerpc platforms like powernv. This patch moves such
common code to arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c file.
