Richard Henderson pointed out that the powerpc __futex_atomic_op has a
bug: it will write the wrong value if the stwcx. fails and it has to
retry the lwarx/stwcx. loop, since 'oparg' will have been overwritten
by the result from the first time around the loop. This happens
because it uses the same register for 'oparg' (an input) as it uses
for the result.
This fixes it by using separate registers for 'oparg' and 'ret'.

While adding native EEH support to Emulex and Qlogic drivers, it was
discovered that dev->error_state was set to pci_io_channel_normal too
late in the recovery process. These drivers rely on error_state to
determine if they can access the device in their slot_reset callback,
thus error_state needs to be set to pci_io_channel_normal in
eeh_report_reset(). Below is a detailed explanation (courtesy of Richard
Lary) as to why this is necessary.
Background:
PCI MMIO or DMA accesses to a frozen slot generate additional EEH
errors. If the number of additional EEH errors exceeds EEH_MAX_FAILS the
adapter will be shutdown. To avoid triggering excessive EEH errors and
an undesirable adapter shutdown, some drivers use the
pci_channel_offline(dev) wrapper function to return a Boolean value
based on the value of pci_dev->error_state to determine if PCI MMIO or
DMA accesses are safe. If the wrapper returns TRUE, drivers must not
make PCI MMIO or DMA access to their hardware.
The pci_dev structure member error_state reflects one of three values,
1) pci_channel_io_normal, 2) pci_channel_io_frozen, 3)
pci_channel_io_perm_failure. Function pci_channel_offline(dev) returns
TRUE if error_state is pci_channel_io_frozen or pci_channel_io_perm_failure.
The EEH driver sets pci_dev->error_state to pci_channel_io_frozen at the
point where the PCI slot is frozen. Currently, the EEH driver restores
dev->error_state to pci_channel_io_normal in eeh_report_resume() before
calling the driver's resume callback. However, when the EEH driver calls
the driver's slot_reset callback() from eeh_report_reset(), it
incorrectly indicates the error state is still pci_channel_io_frozen.
Waiting until eeh_report_resume() to restore dev->error_state to
pci_channel_io_normal is too late for Emulex and QLogic FC drivers and
any other drivers which are designed to use common code paths in these
two cases: i) those called after the driver's slot_reset callback() and
ii) those called after the PCI slot is frozen but before the driver's
slot_reset callback is called. Case i) all driver paths executed to
reinitialize the hardware after a reset and case ii) all code paths
executed by driver kernel threads that run asynchronous to the main
driver thread, such as interrupt handlers and worker threads to process
driver work queues.
Emulex and QLogic FC drivers are designed with common code paths which
require that pci_channel_offline(dev) reflect the true state of the
hardware. The state transitions that the hardware takes from Normal
Operations to Slot Frozen to Reset to Normal Operations are documented
in the Power Architecture™ Platform Requirements+ (PAPR+) in Table 75.
PE State Control.
PAPR defines the following 3 states:
0 -- Not reset, Not EEH stopped, MMIO load/store allowed, DMA allowed
(Normal Operations)
1 -- Reset, Not EEH stopped, MMIO load/store disabled, DMA disabled
2 -- Not reset, EEH stopped, MMIO load/store disabled, DMA disabled
(Slot Frozen)
An EEH error places the slot in state 2 (Frozen) and the adapter driver
is notified that an EEH error was detected. If the adapter driver
returns PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET, the EEH driver calls
eeh_reset_device() to place the slot into state 1 (Reset) and
eeh_reset_device completes by placing the slot into State 0 (Normal
Operations). Upon return from eeh_reset_device(), the EEH driver calls
eeh_report_reset, which then calls the adapter's slot_reset callback. At
the time the adapter's slot_reset callback is called, the true state of
the hardware is Normal Operations and should be accurately reflected by
setting dev->error_state to pci_channel_io_normal.
The current implementation of EEH driver does not do so and requires
this change to correct this deficiency.

When we call giveup_fpu, we need to need to turn off VSX for the
current process. If we don't, on return to userspace it may execute a
VSX instruction before the next FP instruction, and not have its
register state refreshed correctly from the thread_struct. Ditto for
altivec.
This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs results in
fix_alignment calling giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs (in order to
do a single <-> double conversion), and then returning to userspace
with FP off but VSX on. Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before
another FP instruction, it will proceed without another exception and
hence have the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31.
lfs unaligned <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on
VSX instruction <- no exception since VSX on, hence we get the
wrong VSX register values for VSX registers 0-31,
which overlap the FPRs.

PCI still doesn't work on sh7785lcr 29bit 256M map mode.
On SH7785, PCI -> SHwy address translation is not base+offset but
somewhat like base|offset (See HW Manual (rej09b0261) Fig. 13.11).
So, you can't export CS2,3,4,5 by 256M at CS2 (results CS0,1,2,3
exported, I guess). There are two candidates.
a) 128M@CS2 + 128M@CS4
b) 512M@CS0

mostly left-over relics from when it was introduced on SH3-DSP with

referencing incorrect state on the stack.
This follows the MIPS convention of tracking the DSP state in the
thread_struct and handling the state save/restore in switch_to() and
finish_arch_switch() respectively. The regset interface is also updated,
which allows us to finally be rid of task_pt_dspregs() and the special

pci mmap code was doing memtype reserve for a while now. Recently we
added memtype tracking in remap_pfn_range, and pci code indirectly calls
remap_pfn_range. So, we don't need seperate tracking in pci code
anymore. Which means a patch that removes ~50 lines of code :-).
Also, recently we found out that the pci tracking is not working as we expect
it to work in some cases. Specifically, userlevel X mmap of pci, with some
recent version of X, is having a problem with vm_page_prot getting reset.
The pci tracking uses vm_page_prot to pass on the protection type from parent
to child during fork.
a) Parent does a pci mmap
b) We look at PAT and get either UC_MINUS or WC mapping for parent
c) Store that mapping type in vma vm_page_prot for future use
d) This thread does a fork
e) Fork results in mmap_ops ->open for the child process
f) We get the vm_page_prot from vma and reserve that type for the child process
But, between c) and e) above, the vma vm_page_prot is getting reset to zero.
This results in PAT reserve failing at the time of fork as in here.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123858163103240&w=2
This cleanup makes the above problem go away as we do not depend on
vm_page_prot in our PAT code anymore.
