When creating a partition, we clear it entirely rather than
just the first two words since the previous code was rather
specific to the pseries log partition format.

This converts nvram_create_partition() to use a size in bytes
rather than blocks. It does the appropriate alignment internally
The size passed is also the data size (ie. doesn't include the
header anymore).

These APIs take logical cpu number as input
Change cpu_first_thread_in_core() to cpu_first_thread_sibling()
Change cpu_last_thread_in_core() to cpu_last_thread_sibling()
These APIs convert core number (index) to logical cpu/thread numbers
Add cpu_first_thread_of_core(int core)
Changed cpu_thread_to_core() to cpu_core_index_of_thread(int cpu)
The goal is to make 'threads_per_core' accessible to the
pseries_energy module. Instead of making an API to read
threads_per_core, this is a higher level wrapper function to
convert from logical cpu number to core number.
The current APIs cpu_first_thread_in_core() and
cpu_last_thread_in_core() returns logical CPU number while
cpu_thread_to_core() returns core number or index which is
not a logical CPU number. The new APIs are now clearly named to
distinguish 'core number' versus first and last 'logical cpu
number' in that core.
The new APIs cpu_{first,last}_thread_sibling() work on
logical cpu numbers. While cpu_first_thread_of_core() and
cpu_core_index_of_thread() work on core index.
Example usage: (4 threads per core system)
cpu_first_thread_sibling(5) = 4
cpu_last_thread_sibling(5) = 7
cpu_core_index_of_thread(5) = 1
cpu_first_thread_of_core(1) = 4
cpu_core_index_of_thread() is used in cpu_to_drc_index() in the
module and cpu_first_thread_of_core() is used in
drc_index_to_cpu() in the module.
Make API changes to few callers. Export symbols for use in modules.

The crashkernel region will almost always overlap RTAS. If we free the
crashkernel region via "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" then we will
free RTAS and the machine will crash in confusing and exciting ways.

POWER5 added popcntb, and POWER7 added popcntw and popcntd. As a first step
this patch does all the work out of line, but it would be nice to implement
them as inlines with an out of line fallback.
The performance issue with hweight was noticed when disabling SMT on a large
(192 thread) POWER7 box. The patch improves that testcase by about 8%.

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

Commit ff10b88b5a05c8f1646dd15fb9f6093c1384ff6d (kgdb,ppc: Individual
register get/set for ppc) introduced a problem where memcpy was used
incorrectly to read and write the evr registers with a kernel that

Before I incorrectly enabled napping also for BookE, which would result in
needless dcache flushes. Since we only need to force enable napping on

There are some heuristics in the PPC power management code that try to find

once we're certain that we are on a KVM VM.

There is also a form of mtmsr where all bits need to be addressed. While the
PPC64 Linux kernel behaves resonably well here, on PPC32 we do not have an
L=1 form. It does mtmsr even for simple things like only changing EE.
So we need to hook into that one as well and check for a mask of bits that we
deem safe to change from within guest context.

The PowerPC ISA has a special instruction for mtmsr that only changes the EE
and RI bits, namely the L=1 form.
Since that one is reasonably often occuring and simple to implement, let's
go with this first. Writing EE=0 is always just a store. Doing EE=1 also
requires us to check for pending interrupts and if necessary exit back to the
hypervisor.

When we hook an instruction we need to make sure we don't clobber any of
the registers at that point. So we write them out to scratch space in the
magic page. To make sure we don't fall into a race with another piece of
hooked code, we need to disable interrupts.
To make the later patches and code in general easier readable, let's introduce
a set of defines that save and restore r30, r31 and cr. Let's also define some
helpers to read the lower 32 bits of a 64 bit field on 32 bit systems.

We will soon require more sophisticated methods to replace single instructions
with multiple instructions. We do that by branching to a memory region where we
write replacement code for the instruction to.
This region needs to be within 32 MB of the patched instruction though, because
that's the furthest we can jump with immediate branches.
So we keep 1MB of free space around in bss. After we're done initing we can just
tell the mm system that the unused pages are free, but until then we have enough
space to fit all our code in.

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the
MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to
toggle in critical sections.
So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's
put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read
its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few
safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation
for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest.
