Scott Wood 26ee97672e powerpc: Return the_cpu_ spec from identify_cpu
Commit af9eef3c7b caused cpu_setup to see
the_cpu_spec, rather than the source struct.  However, on 32-bit, the
return value of identify_cpu was being used for feature fixups, and
identify_cpu was returning the source struct.  So if cpu_setup patches
the feature bits, the update won't affect the fixups.

Kumar Gala fb9be2349f powerpc/book3e: Fix CPU feature handling on e5500 in 32-bit mode
We are missing FPU feature bit that user space may require.  In the
64-bit mode this gets set since we pull it in via COMMON_USER_PPC64.  We
just explicitly set it so user space will be happy again.

Matt Evans 44ae3ab335 powerpc: Free up some CPU feature bits by moving out MMU-related features
Some of the 64bit PPC CPU features are MMU-related, so this patch moves
them to MMU_FTR_ bits.  All cpu_has_feature()-style tests are moved to
mmu_has_feature(), and seven feature bits are freed as a result.

Kumar Gala 11ed0db9f6 powerpc/book3e: Fix CPU feature handling on 64-bit e5500
The CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE and CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS defines did not encompass
e5500 CPU features when built for 64-bit.  This causes issues with
cpu_has_feature() as it utilizes the POSSIBLE & ALWAYS defines as part
of its check.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt af9eef3c7b powerpc: Pass the right cpu_spec to ->setup_cpu() on 64-bit
When calling setup_cpu() on 64-bit, we pass a pointer to the
cputable entry we have found. This used to be fine when cur_cpu_spec
was a pointer to that entry, but nowadays, we copy the entry into
a separate variable, and we do so before we call the setup_cpu()
callback. That means that any attempt by that callback at patching
the CPU table entry (to adjust CPU features for example) will patch
the wrong table.

Anton Blanchard fbe754ca3a powerpc: machine_check_generic is wrong on 64bit
Decoding machine checks is CPU specific and so machine_check_generic doesn't
do the right thing on 64bit chips. Luckily we never call into this code
because we call ppc_md.machine_check_exception instead if available.

Since we check cur_cpu_spec->machine_check before calling it, we may as
well remove machine_check_generic from 64bit archs.

Lee Nipper ff34910396 powerpc/40x: Distinguish AMCC PowerPC 405EX and 405EXr correctly
The recent AMCC 405EX Rev D without Security uses a PVR value
that matches the old 405EXr Rev A/B with Security.
The 405EX Rev D without Security would be shown
incorrectly as an 405EXr. The pvr_mask of 0xffff0004
is no longer sufficient to distinguish the 405EX from 405EXr.

This patch replaces 2 entries in the cpu_specs table
and adds 8 more, each using pvr_mask of 0xffff000f
and appropriate pvr_value to distinguish the AMCC
PowerPC 405EX and 405EXr instances.
The cpu_name for these entries now includes the
Rev, in similar fashion to the 440GX.

Scott Wood a11106544f powerpc/perf: e500 support
This implements perf_event support for the Freescale embedded performance
monitor, based on the existing perf_event.c that supports server/classic
chips.

Some limitations:
- Performance monitor interrupts are regular EE interrupts, and thus you
  can't profile places with interrupts disabled.  We may want to implement
  soft IRQ-disabling, with perfmon interrupts exempted and treated as NMIs.
- When trying to schedule multiple event groups at once, and using
  restricted events, situations could arise where scheduling fails even
  though it would be possible.  Consider three groups, each with two events.
  One group has restricted events, the others don't.  The two non-restricted
  groups are scheduled, then one is removed, which happens to occupy the two
  counters that can't do restricted events.  The remaining non-restricted
  group will not be moved to the non-restricted-capable counters to make
  room if the restricted group tries to be scheduled.

Michael Ellerman 2657dd4e30 powerpc: Make sure we copy all cpu_spec features except PMC related ones
When identify_cpu() is called a second time with a logical PVR, it
only copies a subset of the cpu_spec fields so as to avoid overwriting
the performance monitor fields that were initialized based on the
real PVR.

However some of the other, non performance monitor related fields are
also not copied:
 * pvr_mask
 * pvr_value
 * mmu_features
 * machine_check

The fact that pvr_mask is not copied can result in show_cpuinfo()
showing the cpu as "unknown", if we override an unknown PVR with a
logical one - as reported by Shaggy.

So change the logic to copy all fields, and then put back the PMC
related ones in the case that we're overwriting a real PVR with a
logical one.

To move towards having this support the following changes have been made:

* PID1, PID2 only exist on e500v1 & e500v2 and should not be accessed on
  e500mc or e200.  We use MMUCFG[NPIDS] to determine which case we are
  since we only touch PID1/2 in extremely early init code.

* Not all IVORs exist on all the processors so introduce cpu_setup
  functions for each variant to setup the proper IVORs that are either

Nathan Lynch 9115d13453 powerpc: Enable AT_BASE_PLATFORM aux vector
Stash the first platform string matched by identify_cpu() in
powerpc_base_platform, and supply that to the ELF loader for the value
of AT_BASE_PLATFORM.

Torez Smith 79e25bac12 powerpc: Indicate which oprofile counters to use while in compat mode
While running on a system with new hardware and a kernel where the
cpu_specs[] table does not recognize the new hardware, the identify_cpu()
routine will select the default case as it searches through cpu_specs[]
in an attempt to match the real PVR. Once the default case is selected,
non of the oprofile counters and/or fields have been set up or defined.

When identify_cpu() is called once more with the logical PVR, some of
the cpu specific fields are replaced with the exception of the oprofile
related ones. However, in the case where we have actually taken the
default case while searching for the real PVR, we need to tell
oprofile that we are now running in compatibility mode so it can pick up
the correct counters. We do this by setting the oprofile_cpu_type field
to be that taken from the cpu_specs[] for the cpu we are now emulating.

This change will detect that we are now altering the real PVR and determine
if we also need to update the oprofile_cpu_type field.

Nathan Lynch 0f47331475 powerpc: Add PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT
Background from Maynard Johnson:
As of POWER6, a set of 32 common events is defined that must be
supported on all future POWER processors.  The main impetus for this
compat set is the need to support partition migration, especially from
processor P(n) to processor P(n+1), where performance software that's
running in the new partition may not be knowledgeable about processor
P(n+1).  If a performance tool determines it does not support the
physical processor, but is told (via the
PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT bit) that the processor supports
the notion of the PMU compat set, then the performance tool can
surface just those events to the user of the tool.

PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT indicates that the PMU supports at
least this basic subset of events which is compatible across POWER
processor lines.
