This initializes IOMMU groups based on the IOMMU configuration
discovered during the PCI scan on POWERNV (POWER non virtualized)
platform. The IOMMU groups are to be used later by the VFIO driver,
which is used for PCI pass through.
It also implements an API for mapping/unmapping pages for
guest PCI drivers and providing DMA window properties.
This API is going to be used later by QEMU-VFIO to handle
h_put_tce hypercalls from the KVM guest.
The iommu_put_tce_user_mode() does only a single page mapping
as an API for adding many mappings at once is going to be
added later.
Although this driver has been tested only on the POWERNV
platform, it should work on any platform which supports
TCE tables. As h_put_tce hypercall is received by the host
kernel and processed by the QEMU (what involves calling
the host kernel again), performance is not the best -
circa 220MB/s on 10Gb ethernet network.
To enable VFIO on POWER, enable SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU config
option and configure VFIO as required.

The problem is that the PMU exception may run even when interrupts are

When introducing support for DABRX in 4474ef0, we broke older 32-bit CPUs
that don't have that register.
Some CPUs have a DABR but not DABRX. Configuration are:
- No 32bit CPUs have DABRX but some have DABR.
- POWER4+ and below have the DABR but no DABRX.
- 970 and POWER5 and above have DABR and DABRX.
- POWER8 has DAWR, hence no DABRX.
This introduces CPU_FTR_DABRX and sets it on appropriate CPUs. We use
the top 64 bits for CPU FTR bits since only 64 bit CPUs have this.
Processors that don't have the DABRX will still work as they will fall
back to software filtering these breakpoints via perf_exclude_event().

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.o] Error 1

The build fails because cpu_down() is defined only under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
Looking further, the mobility code in pseries is one of the call-sites which
uses rtas_ibm_suspend_me(), which in turn calls rtas_cpu_state_change_mask().
And the mobility code is unconditionally compiled-in (it does not fall under
any Kconfig option). And commit 120496ac (powerpc: Bring all threads online
prior to migration/hibernation) which introduced this build regression is
critical for the proper functioning of the migration code. So it appears
that the only solution to this problem is to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU if
SMP is enabled on PPC_PSERIES platforms. So make that change in the Kconfig.

This adds the remaining two hypercalls defined by PAPR for manipulating

information about the priority and pending interrupts for a virtual
cpu, without changing any state. H_XIRR_X is like H_XIRR in that it
reads and acknowledges the highest-priority pending interrupt, but it
also returns the timestamp (timebase register value) from when the
interrupt was first received by the hypervisor. Currently we just
return the current time, since we don't do any software queueing of

Commit a9c4e541ea
"powerpc/kprobe: Complete kprobe and migrate exception frame"
introduced a regression:
While returning from exception handling in case of PREEMPT enabled,
_TIF_NEED_RESCHED bit is checked in TI_FLAGS (thread_info flag) of current
task. Only if this bit is set, it should continue with the process of
calling preempt_schedule_irq() to schedule highest priority task if
available.
Current code assumes that r8 contains TI_FLAGS and check this for
_TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but as r8 is modified in the code which executes before
this check, r8 no longer contains the expected TI_FLAGS information.
As a result check for comparison with _TIF_NEED_RESCHED was failing even if
NEED_RESCHED bit is set in the current thread_info flag. Due to this,
preempt_schedule_irq() and in turn scheduler was not getting called even if
highest priority task is ready for execution.
So, store temporary results in r0 instead of r8 to prevent r8 from getting
modified as subsequent code is dependent on its value.

When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with
the stack. It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin.
The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that
returns before a tend. In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed
transactional memory state. If we write over this non transactionally or in
suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter
and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be
valid anymore.
To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use
the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated
state. This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be
written below the stack required for the rollback. The transaction is aborted
becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the
signal will be rolled back anyway.
For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the
normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer.

If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that
touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional
suspend context. We need to abort these transactions and send them back to
userspace for the hardware to rollback.
We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the
kernel will operate in the same suspend context.
This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction
emulations (only string instructions for now). If the user process is in an
active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to
userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the
failure. This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the
persistent error to the user.
