The only user of MSG_ALL_BUT_SELF in the whole kernel tree is powerpc,
and it only uses it to start the debugger. Both debuggers always call
smp_send_debugger_break with MSG_ALL_BUT_SELF, and only mpic can do
anything more optimal than a loop over all online cpus, but all message
passing implementations have to code for this special delivery target.
Convert smp_send_debugger_break to take void and loop calling the smp_ops
message_pass function for each of the other cpus in the online cpumask.
Use raw_smp_processor_id() because we are either entering the debugger
or trying to start kdump and the additional warning it not useful were
it to trigger.

We should not set cpus above nr_cpu_ids to possible. While we
will trigger a warning with CONFIG_CPUMASK_DEBUG, even then the mask
initializers will set the bits beyond what the iterators check and cause
nr_cpu_ids to increase.
Respecting nr_cpu_ids during setup will allow us to use it in our initial
paca allocation. It can be reduced from NR_CPUS by the existing early param
nr_cpus=, which was added in 2b633e3fac (smp:

Starting with 1426d5a3bd (powerpc:
Dynamically allocate pacas) we free the memory for pacas beyond
cpu_possible, but we failed to update the loop the secondary cpus use
to find their paca. If the system has running cpu threads for which
the kernel did not allocate a paca for they will search the memory that
was freed. For instance this could happen when the device tree for
a kdump kernel was not updated after a cpu hotplug, or the kernel is
running with more cpus than the kernel was configured.
Since c1854e0072 (powerpc: Set nr_cpu_ids
early and use it to free PACAs) we set nr_cpu_ids before telling the
cpus to advance, so use that to limit the search.
We can't reference nr_cpu_ids without CONFIG_SMP because it is defined
as 1 instead of a memory location, but any extra threads should be sent
to kexec_wait in that case anyways, so make that explicit and remove
the search loop for UP.

Commit 1fc711f7ff (powerpc/kexec: Fix race
in kexec shutdown) moved the write to signal the cpu had exited the kernel
from before the transition to real mode in kexec_smp_wait to kexec_wait.
Unfornately it missed that kexec_wait is used both by cpus leaving the
kernel and by secondary slave cpus that were not allocated a paca for
what ever reason -- they could be beyond nr_cpus or not described in
the current device tree for whatever reason (for example, kexec-load
was not refreshed after a cpu hotplug operation). Cpus coming through
that path they will write to paca[NR_CPUS] which is beyond the space
allocated for the paca data and overwrite memory not allocated to pacas
but very likely still real mode accessable).
Move the write back to kexec_smp_wait, which is used only by cpus that
found their paca, but after the transition to real mode.

After looking at our system call path, Mary Brown suggested that we
should put all mfspr SRR* instructions before any mtspr SRR*.
To test this I used a very simple null syscall (actually getppid)
testcase at http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c
I tested with the following changes against the pseries_defconfig:
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=n
CONFIG_AUDIT=n
to remove the overhead of virtual CPU accounting and syscall
auditing.
POWER6:
baseline: mean = 757.2 cycles sd = 2.108
modified: mean = 759.1 cycles sd = 2.020
POWER7:
baseline: mean = 411.4 cycles sd = 0.138
modified: mean = 404.1 cycles sd = 0.109
So we have 1.77% improvement on POWER7 which looks significant. The
POWER6 suggest a 0.25% slowdown, but the results are within 1
standard deviation and may be in the noise.

commit c56e58537d breaks SMP support in PPC_47x chip.
secondary_ti must be set to current thread info before callin kick_cpu or else
start_secondary_47x will jump into void when trying to return to c-code.
In the current setup secondary_ti is initialized before the CPU idle task is started
and only the boot core will start. I am not sure this is the correct solution, but it
makes SMP possible in my chip.

We make use of ptrace_get_breakpoints() / ptrace_put_breakpoints() to
protect ptrace_set_debugreg() even if CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT if off.
However in this case, these APIs are not implemented.
To fix this, push the protection down inside the relevant ifdef.
Best would be to export the code inside
CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT into a standalone function to cleanup
the ifdefury there and call the breakpoint ref API inside. But
as it is more invasive, this should be rather made in an -rc1.

Recent 64-bit server processors (POWER6 and POWER7) have a "Come-From
Address Register" (CFAR), that records the address of the most recent
branch or rfid (return from interrupt) instruction for debugging purposes.
This saves the value of the CFAR in the exception entry code and stores
it in the exception frame. We also make xmon print the CFAR value in
its register dump code.
Rather than extend the pt_regs struct at this time, we steal the orig_gpr3
field, which is only used for system calls, and use it for the CFAR value
for all exceptions/interrupts other than system calls. This means we
don't save the CFAR on system calls, which is not a great problem since
system calls tend not to happen unexpectedly, and also avoids adding the
overhead of reading the CFAR to the system call entry path.

When we take an interrupt or exception from kernel mode and the stack
pointer is obviously not a kernel address (i.e. the top bit is 0), we
switch to an emergency stack, save register values and panic. However,
on 64-bit server machines, we don't actually save the values of r9 - r13
at the time of the interrupt, but rather values corrupted by the
exception entry code for r12-r13, and nothing at all for r9-r11.
This fixes it by passing a pointer to the register save area in the paca
through to the bad_stack code in r3. The register values are saved in
one of the paca register save areas (depending on which exception this
is). Using the pointer in r3, the bad_stack code now retrieves the
saved values of r9 - r13 and stores them in the exception frame on the
emergency stack. This also stores the normal exception frame marker
("regshere") in the exception frame.

RTAS returns extended error codes as a hint of how long the
OS might want to wait before retrying a call. If we have nothing
else useful to do we may as well call back straight away.
This was found when testing the new dynamic dma window feature.
Firmware split the zeroing of the TCE table into 32k chunks but
returned 9901 (which is a suggested wait of 10ms). All up this took
about 10 minutes to complete since msleep is jiffies based and will
round 10ms up to 20ms.
With the patch below we take 3 seconds to complete the same test.
The hint firmware is returning in the RTAS call should definitely
be decreased, but even if we slept 1ms each iteration this would

When we set up the TLB for ourselves on Book3E, we need to flush out any

There are several good reason firmware might establish mappings with IPROT,
