The POWER9 core supports a new feature: ASB_Notify which requires the
support of the Special Purpose Register: TIDR.
The ASB_Notify command, generated by the AFU, will attempt to
wake-up the host thread identified by the particular LPID:PID:TID.
This patch assign a unique TIDR (thread id) for the current thread which
will be used in the process element entry.

In memory Collection (IMC) counter pmu driver controls the ucode's
execution state. At the system boot, IMC perf driver pause the ucode.
Ucode state is changed to "running" only when any of the nest units
are monitored or profiled using perf tool.
Nest units support only limited set of hardware counters and ucode is
always programmed in the "production mode" ("accumulation") mode. This
mode is configured to provide key performance metric data for most of
the nest units.
But ucode also supports other modes which would be used for "debug" to
drill down specific nest units. That is, ucode when switched to
"powerbus" debug mode (for example), will dynamically reconfigure the
nest counters to target only "powerbus" related events in the hardware
counters. This allows the IMC nest unit to focus on powerbus related
transactions in the system in more detail. At this point, production
mode events may or may not be counted.
IMC nest counters has both in-band (ucode access) and out of band
access to it. Since not all nest counter configurations are supported
by ucode, out of band tools are used to characterize other nest
counter configurations.
Patch provides an interface via "debugfs" to enable the switching of
ucode modes in the system. To switch ucode mode, one has to first
pause the microcode (imc_cmd), and then write the target mode value to
the "imc_mode" file.
Proposed Approach:
In the proposed approach, the function (export_imc_mode_and_cmd) which
creates the debugfs interface for imc mode and command is implemented
in opal-imc.c. Thus we can use imc_get_mem_addr() to get the homer
base address for each chip.
The interface to expose imc mode and command is required only if we
have nest pmu units registered. Employing the existing data structures
to track whether we have any nest units registered will require to
extend data from perf side to opal-imc.c. Instead an integer is
introduced to hold that information by counting successful nest unit
registration. Debugfs interface is removed based on the integer count.
Example for the interface:
$ ls /sys/kernel/debug/imc
imc_cmd_0 imc_cmd_8 imc_mode_0 imc_mode_8

local_t is used for atomic modifications for per-CPU data, versus
re-entrant modifications via interrupts.
local_t read-modify-write atomic operations are currently implemented
with hardware atomics (larx/stcx), which are quite slow. This patch
implements them by masking all types of interrupts that may do local_t
operations ("standard" and perf interrupts).
Rusty's benchmark (https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/16/450) gives the
following timings for the local_t test, in nanoseconds per iteration:
larx/stcx irq+pmu disable
_inc 38 10
_add 38 10
_read 4 4
_add_return 38 10
There are still some interrupt types (system reset, machine check, and
watchdog), which can not safely use local_t operations, because they
are not masked.
An alternative approach was proposed, using a CR bit to mark a critical
section, which is tested in the interrupt return path, and would then
branch to a fixup handler (similar to exception fixups), which re-starts
the operation. The problem with this was the complexity of the fixup
handler and the latency of the slow path.

"paca->soft_enabled" is used as a flag to mask some of interrupts.
Currently supported flags values and their details:
soft_enabled MSR[EE]
0 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked)
1 1 Enabled
"paca->soft_enabled" is initialized to 1 to make the interripts as
enabled. arch_local_irq_disable() will toggle the value when
interrupts needs to disbled. At this point, the interrupts are not
actually disabled, instead, interrupt vector has code to check for the
flag and mask it when it occurs. By "mask it", it update interrupt
paca->irq_happened and return. arch_local_irq_restore() is called to
re-enable interrupts, which checks and replays interrupts if any
occured.
Now, as mentioned, current logic doesnot mask "performance monitoring
interrupts" and PMIs are implemented as NMI. But this patchset depends
on local_irq_* for a successful local_* update. Meaning, mask all
possible interrupts during local_* update and replay them after the
update.
So the idea here is to reserve the "paca->soft_enabled" logic. New
values and details:
soft_enabled MSR[EE]
1 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked)
0 1 Enabled
Reason for the this change is to create foundation for a third mask
value "0x2" for "soft_enabled" to add support to mask PMIs. When
->soft_enabled is set to a value "3", PMI interrupts are mask and when
set to a value of "1", PMI are not mask. With this patch also extends
soft_enabled as interrupt disable mask.
Current flags are renamed from IRQ_[EN?DIS}ABLED to
IRQS_ENABLED and IRQS_DISABLED.
Patch also fixes the ptrace call to force the user to see the softe
value to be alway 1. Reason being, even though userspace has no
business knowing about softe, it is part of pt_regs. Like-wise in
signal context.

arch_local_irq_disable is implemented strangely, with a temporary

We have always had softe in pt_regs, and accessible via PT_SOFTE, even
though it is not userspace state.
The value userspace sees should always be 1, because we should never
be in userspace with interrupts soft disabled.
In a subsequent patch we will be changing the semantics of the kernel
softe value, so hard wire the value to 1 to retain the existing
semantics. As far as we know nothing ever looks at it, but better safe

The powerpc NMI IPIs may not be recoverable if they are taken in
some sections of code, and also there have been and still are issues
with taking NMIs (in KVM guest code, in firmware, etc) which makes them
a bit dangerous to use.
Generic code like softlockup detector and rcu stall detectors really
hammer on trigger_*_backtrace, which has lead to further problems
because we've implemented it with the NMI.
So stop providing NMI backtraces for now. Importantly, the powerpc code
uses NMI IPIs in crash/debug, and the SMP hardlockup watchdog. So if the
softlockup and rcu hang detection traces are not being printed because
the CPU is stuck with interrupts off, then the hard lockup watchdog
should get it with the NMI IPI.

There are several cases outside the normal address space management
where a CPU's entire local TLB is to be flushed:
1. Booting the kernel, in case something has left stale entries in
the TLB (e.g., kexec).
2. Machine check, to clean corrupted TLB entries.
One other place where the TLB is flushed, is waking from deep idle
states. The flush is a side-effect of calling ->cpu_restore with the
intention of re-setting various SPRs. The flush itself is unnecessary
because in the first case, the TLB should not acquire new corrupted
TLB entries as part of sleep/wake (though they may be lost).
This type of TLB flush is coded inflexibly, several times for each CPU
type, and they have a number of problems with ISA v3.0B:
- The current radix mode of the MMU is not taken into account, it is
always done as a hash flushn For IS=2 (LPID-matching flush from host)
and IS=3 with HV=0 (guest kernel flush), tlbie(l) is undefined if
the R field does not match the current radix mode.
- ISA v3.0B hash must flush the partition and process table caches as
well.
- ISA v3.0B radix must flush partition and process scoped translations,
partition and process table caches, and also the page walk cache.
So consolidate the flushing code and implement it in C and inline asm
under the mm/ directory with the rest of the flush code. Add ISA v3.0B
cases for radix and hash, and use the radix flush in radix environment.
Provide a way for IS=2 (LPID flush) to specify the radix mode of the
partition. Have KVM pass in the radix mode of the guest.
Take out the flushes from early cputable/dt_cpu_ftrs detection hooks,
and move it later in the boot process after, the MMU registers are set
up and before relocation is first turned on.
The TLB flush is no longer called when restoring from deep idle states.
This was not be done as a separate step because booting secondaries
uses the same cpu_restore as idle restore, which needs the TLB flush.

The die() oops path contains a serializing lock to prevent oops
messages from being interleaved. In the case of a system reset
initiated oops (e.g., qemu nmi command), __die was being called
which lacks that synchronisation and oops reports could be
interleaved across CPUs.
A recent patch 4388c9b3a6ee7 ("powerpc: Do not send system reset
request through the oops path") changed this to __die to avoid
the debugger() call, but there is no real harm to calling it twice
if the first time fell through. So go back to using die() here.

As Linux kernel separates KERNEL and USER address spaces, there is
therefore no need to flag USER access at page level.
Today, the 8xx TLB handlers already handle user access in the L1 entry
through Access Protection Groups, it is then natural to move the user
access handling at PMD level once _PAGE_NA allows to handle PAGE_NONE
protection without _PAGE_USER
In the mean time, as we free up one bit in the PTE, we can use it to
include SPS (page size flag) in the PTE and avoid handling it at every
TLB miss hence removing special handling based on compiled page size.
For _PAGE_EXEC, we rework it to use PP PTE bits, avoiding the copy
of _PAGE_EXEC bit into the L1 entry. Unfortunatly we are not
able to put it at the correct location as it conflicts with
NA/RO/RW bits for data entries.
Upper bits of APG in L1 entry overlap with PMD base address. In
order to avoid having to filter that out, we set up all groups so that
upper bits can have any value.

PPC_8xx has a _PAGE_SHARED flag which is set for and only for
all non user pages. Lets rename it _PAGE_PRIVILEGED to remove
confusion as it has nothing to do with Linux shared pages.
On BookE, there's a _PAGE_BAP_SR which has to be set for kernel
pages: defining _PAGE_PRIVILEGED as _PAGE_BAP_SR will make
this generic

_PAGE_WRITETHRU is only used in:
* AMIGA_Z2RAM block driver which is never activated on powerPC
* Video/FB driver which is for PPC_PMAC
Therefore, no need to spend time in 8xx TLB miss handlers for
handling it.
And by removing it, we free up bit 20 which then avoids having
to clear it on each TLB miss.

In TLB miss handlers, updating the perf counter is only useful
when performing a perf analysis. As it has a noticeable overhead,
let's only do it when needed.
In order to do so, the exit of the miss handlers will be patched
when starting/stopping 'perf': the first register restore
instruction of each exit point will be replaced by a jump to
the counting code.
Once this is done, CONFIG_PPC_8xx_PERF_EVENT becomes useless as
this feature doesn't add any overhead.

EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 and EXCEPTION_EPILOG_0 were added some
time ago in order to regroup the two mtspr/mfspr to SCRATCH0 and
SCRATCH1 and the mfcr/mtcr in order to ease entry and exit of
function not using the full EXCEPTION_PROLOG.
Since then, the mfcr/mtcr has been taken out, hence just leaving
the two mtspr/mfspr in the macro.
In order to improve readability of the exception functions, we
remove those two macros and copy back the two mtspr/mfspr instead.
As r10 and r11 are used for SCRATCH0 and SCRATCH1, lets also use
r12 for SCRATCH2. It will also improve the readability/maintenance.
