0696b711e4 timekeeping: Fix clock_gettime vsyscall time warp
Since commit 0a544198 "timekeeping: Move NTP adjusted clock multiplier
to struct timekeeper" the clock multiplier of vsyscall is updated with
the unmodified clock multiplier of the clock source and not with the
NTP adjusted multiplier of the timekeeper.

This causes user space observerable time warps:
new CLOCK-warp maximum: 120 nsecs,  00000025c337c537 -> 00000025c337c4bf

Add a new argument "mult" to update_vsyscall() and hand in the
timekeeping internal NTP adjusted multiplier.

a362c638bd clocksource/events: Fix fallout of generic code changes
powerpc grew a new warning due to the type change of clockevent->mult.

The architectures which use parts of the generic time keeping
infrastructure tripped over my wrong assumption that
clocksource_register is only used when GENERIC_TIME=y.

I should have looked and also I should have known better. These
renitent Gaul villages are racking my nerves. Some serious deprecating

da3f6f9b3e sysctl: Introduce a generic compat sysctl sysctl
This uses compat_alloc_userspace to remove the various
hacks to allow do_sysctl to write to throuh oldlenp.

The rest of our mature compat syscall helper facitilies
are used as well to ensure we have a nice clean maintainable
compat syscall that can be used on all architectures.

The motiviation for a generic compat sysctl (besides the
obvious hack removal) is to reduce the number of compat
sysctl defintions out there so I can refactor the
binary sysctl implementation.

ppc already used the name compat_sys_sysctl so I remove the
ppcs version here.

6795b85c6a powerpc: tracing: Add powerpc tracepoints for timer entry and exit
We can monitor the effectiveness of our power management of both the
kernel and hypervisor by probing the timer interrupt. For example, on
this box we see 10.37s timer interrupts on an idle core:

<idle>-0     [010]  3900.671297: timer_interrupt_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10
<idle>-0     [010]  3900.671302: timer_interrupt_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10

<idle>-0     [010]  3911.042963: timer_interrupt_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10
<idle>-0     [010]  3911.042968: timer_interrupt_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10

<idle>-0     [010]  3921.414630: timer_interrupt_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10
<idle>-0     [010]  3921.414635: timer_interrupt_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10

Since we have a 207MHz decrementer it will go negative and fire every 10.37s
even if Linux is completely idle.

1bf4af1650 powerpc: tracing: Add powerpc tracepoints for interrupt entry and exit
This adds powerpc-specific tracepoints for interrupt entry and exit.

While we already have generic irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
tracepoints there are cases on our virtualised powerpc machines where an
interrupt is presented to the OS, but subsequently handled by the hypervisor.
This means no OS interrupt handler is invoked.

Here is an example on a POWER6 machine with the patch below applied:

<idle>-0     [006]  3243.949840744: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10
<idle>-0     [006]  3243.949850520: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10

<idle>-0     [007]  3243.950218208: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10
<idle>-0     [007]  3243.950224080: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10

<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021879320: irq_entry: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0
<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021883616: irq_handler_entry: irq=87 handler=eth0
<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021887328: irq_handler_exit: irq=87 return=handled
<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021897408: irq_exit: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0

Here we see two phantom interrupts (no handler was invoked), followed
by a real interrupt for eth0. Without the tracepoints in this patch we
would have missed the phantom interrupts.

4f917ba3d5 powerpc/ppc64: Use preempt_schedule_irq instead of preempt_schedule
Based on an original patch by Valentine Barshak <vbarshak@ru.mvista.com>

Use preempt_schedule_irq to prevent infinite irq-entry and
eventual stack overflow problems with fast-paced IRQ sources.

This kind of problems has been observed on the PASemi Electra IDE
controller. We have to make sure we are soft-disabled before calling
preempt_schedule_irq and hard disable interrupts after that
to avoid unrecoverable exceptions.

This patch also moves the "clrrdi r9,r1,THREAD_SHIFT" out of
the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E scope, since r9 is clobbered
and has to be restored in both cases.

5be2a213b1 powerpc: warning: allocated section `.data_nosave' not in segment
We need to align before the output section. Having the align inside
the output section causes the linker to put some filler in there,
which makes it a non-empty section, but this section isn't assigned to
a segment so you get a warning from the linker.

be10ab1090 powerpc64/ftrace: use PACA to retrieve TOC in mod_return_to_handler
The mod_return_to_handler needs to switch to the kernel TOC before
jumping to a the kernel code. It currently does this by looking
at the kernel function data and retrieves the TOC that way.

Not only is this inefficient, it also breaks with a relocatable kernel.
The PACA contains the kernel TOC and we can easily retrieve it that
way.

9135c3cc5a powerpc/ftrace: show real return addresses in modules
When the function graph tracer is enabled, it replaces the return address
with a hook back to the tracer. This makes back traces see the hook instead
of the actual return address.

The current code also shows the real address by checking if the return
address jumps to the return_to_handler. If it is, is also prints out
the saved real return address.

On powerpc64, some modules may return to mod_return_to_handler, which
is not checked. This patch will also show the real address if a return
is to mod_return_to_handler as well.

049d049706 powerpc: Fix ibm,client-architecture-support printout
On machines without the ibm,client-architecture-support call we were missing a
newline. We may as well print the full name in all its glory too - its
ibm,client-architecture-support, not ibm,client-architecture as I mistakenly
wrote (a name only an IBM architect could love).

For my penance I will write out ibm,client-architecture-support 100 times.

Before:

Calling ibm,client-architecture...command line: root=/dev/sda6 console=hvc0  quiet

After:

Calling ibm,client-architecture-support... not implemented

8bbde7a706 powerpc: Move 64bit heap above 1TB on machines with 1TB segments
If we are using 1TB segments and we are allowed to randomise the heap, we can
put it above 1TB so it is backed by a 1TB segment. Otherwise the heap will be
in the bottom 1TB which always uses 256MB segments and this may result in a
performance penalty.

This functionality is disabled when heap randomisation is turned off:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

which may be useful when trying to allocate the maximum amount of 16M or 16G
pages.

On a microbenchmark that repeatedly touches 32GB of memory with a stride of
256MB + 4kB (designed to stress 256MB segments while still mapping nicely into
the L1 cache), we see the improvement:

Force malloc to use heap all the time:
# export MALLOC_MMAP_MAX_=0 MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=-1

Disable heap randomization:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# time ./test
12.51s

Enable heap randomization:
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# time ./test
1.70s

Sometimes this is used to hold a simple offset, and sometimes
it is used to hold a pointer.  This patch changes it to a union containing
void * and dma_addr_t.  get/set accessors are also provided, because it was
getting a bit ugly to get to the actual data.

The former is no longer really accurate with the swiotlb case now
a possibility.  I also move it into dma-mapping.h - it no longer
needs to be in dma.c, and there are about to be some more accessors
that should all end up in the same place.  A comment is added to
indicate that this function is not used in configs where there is no
simple dma offset, such as the iommu case.
