81cd5ae303 powerpc: perf_event: Enable SDAR in continous sample mode
In continuous sampling mode we want the SDAR to update.  While we can
select between dcache misses and ERAT (L1-TLB) misses, a decent default
is to enable both.

13363ab9b9 powerpc: Add definitions used by exception handling on 64-bit Book3E
This adds various definitions and macros used by the exception and TLB
miss handling on 64-bit BookE

It also adds the definitions of the SPRGs used for various exception types

063517bea1 powerpc: Change PACA from SPRG3 to SPRG1
This change the SPRG used to store the PACA on ppc64 from
SPRG3 to SPRG1. SPRG3 is user readable on most processors
and we want to use it for other things. We change the scratch
SPRG used by exception vectors from SRPG1 to SPRG2.

c5a8c0c99f powerpc: Remove use of a second scratch SPRG in STAB code
The STAB code used on Power3 and RS/64 uses a second scratch SPRG to
save a GPR in order to decide whether to go to do_stab_bolted_* or
to handle a normal data access exception.

This prevents our scheme of freeing SPRG3 which is user visible for
user uses since we cannot use SPRG0 which, on RS/64, seems to be
read-only for supervisor mode (like POWER4).

This reworks the STAB exception entry to use the PACA as temporary
storage instead.

ee43eb788b powerpc: Use names rather than numbers for SPRGs (v2)
The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in
low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu
global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer.

We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers
as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some
of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc..
and the current choice isn't always the best.

This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the
usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement
and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to
what those are used for on each processor family.

The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM
or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all
the SPRGs.

2fae0a524b powerpc: Add memory clobber to mtspr()
Without this clobber, mtspr can be re-ordered by gcc vs. surrounding
memory accesses. While this might be ok for some cases, it's not in
others and I'm not confident that all callers get it right (In fact
I'm sure some of them don't).

So for now, let's make mtspr() itself contain a memory clobber until
we can audit and fix everything, at which point we can remove it
if we think it's worth doing so.

4c75f84f2c powerpc: Add compiler memory barrier to mtmsr macro
On 32-bit non-Book E, local_irq_restore() turns into just mtmsr(),
which doesn't currently have a compiler memory barrier.  This means
that accesses to memory inside a local_irq_save/restore section,
or a spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore section on UP, can
be reordered by the compiler to occur outside that section.

To fix this, this adds a compiler memory barrier to mtmsr for both
32-bit and 64-bit.  Having a compiler memory barrier in mtmsr makes
sense because it will almost always be changing something about the
context in which memory accesses are done, so in general we don't want
memory accesses getting moved from one side of an mtmsr to the other.

With the barrier in mtmsr(), some of the explicit barriers in
hw_irq.h are now redundant, so this removes them.

0bbd0d4be8 perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow events
This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on
powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events,
including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified.

Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier
processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6
field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and
defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6)
and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor
uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier
positions.  It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and
old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR
values come from the same instruction.

For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not
doing instruction sampling.  In that case there is no guarantee
that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will
correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the
PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord.

If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter
is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply
the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it
corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the
PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord.  Otherwise we supply 0.

[ Impact: support more PMU hardware features on PowerPC ]

Today the arch/powerpc/xmon/setjmp.S file contains only the
xmon_save_regs function.  We want to use it for kdump purposes, so
let's move the file into arch/powerpc/kernel/ and give the function a
more generic name (ppc_save_regs).

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
