the setup before the change was
- arch/powerpc/Kconfig had the PPC_CLOCK option, off by default
- depending on the PPC_CLOCK option the arch/powerpc/kernel/clock.c file
was built, which implements the clk.h API but always returns -ENOSYS
unless a platform registers specific callbacks
- the MPC52xx platform selected PPC_CLOCK but did not register any
callbacks, thus all clk.h API calls keep resulting in -ENOSYS errors
(which is OK, all peripheral drivers deal with the situation)
- the MPC512x platform selected PPC_CLOCK and registered specific
callbacks implemented in arch/powerpc/platforms/512x/clock.c, thus
provided real support for the clock API
- no other powerpc platform did select PPC_CLOCK
the situation after the change is
- the MPC512x platform implements the COMMON_CLK interface, and thus the
PPC_CLOCK approach in arch/powerpc/platforms/512x/clock.c has become
obsolete
- the MPC52xx platform still lacks genuine support for the clk.h API
while this is not a change against the previous situation (the error
code returned from COMMON_CLK stubs differs but every call still
results in an error)
- with all references gone, the arch/powerpc/kernel/clock.c wrapper and
the PPC_CLOCK option have become obsolete, as did the clk_interface.h
header file
the switch from PPC_CLOCK to COMMON_CLK is done for all platforms within
the same commit such that multiplatform kernels (the combination of 512x
and 52xx within one executable) keep working

Now that we handle machine check in linux, the MCE decoding should also
take place in linux host. This info is crucial to log before we go down
in case we can not handle the machine check errors. This patch decodes
and populates a machine check event which contain high level meaning full
MCE information.
We do this in real mode C code with ME bit on. The MCE information is still
available on emergency stack (in pt_regs structure format). Even if we take
another exception at this point the MCE early handler will allocate a new
stack frame on top of current one. So when we return back here we still have
our MCE information safe on current stack.
We use per cpu buffer to save high level MCE information. Each per cpu buffer
is an array of machine check event structure indexed by per cpu counter
mce_nest_count. The mce_nest_count is incremented every time we enter
machine check early handler in real mode to get the current free slot
(index = mce_nest_count - 1). The mce_nest_count is decremented once the
MCE info is consumed by virtual mode machine exception handler.
This patch provides save_mce_event(), get_mce_event() and release_mce_event()
generic routines that can be used by machine check handlers to populate and
retrieve the event. The routine release_mce_event() will free the event slot so
that it can be reused. Caller can invoke get_mce_event() with a release flag
either to release the event slot immediately OR keep it so that it can be
fetched again. The event slot can be also released anytime by invoking
release_mce_event().
This patch also updates kvm code to invoke get_mce_event to retrieve generic
mce event rather than paca->opal_mce_evt.
The KVM code always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false so
that event is available for linus host machine
If machine check occurs while we are in guest, KVM tries to handle the error.
If KVM is able to handle MC error successfully, it enters the guest and
delivers the machine check to guest. If KVM is not able to handle MC error, it
exists the guest and passes the control to linux host machine check handler
which then logs MC event and decides how to handle it in linux host. In failure
case, KVM needs to make sure that the MC event is available for linux host to
consume. Hence KVM always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false
and later it invokes release_mce_event() only if it succeeds to handle error.

If we get a machine check exception due to SLB or TLB errors, then flush
SLBs/TLBs and reload SLBs to recover. We do this in real mode before turning
on MMU. Otherwise we would run into nested machine checks.
If we get a machine check when we are in guest, then just flush the
SLBs and continue. This patch handles errors for power7. The next
patch will handle errors for power8

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.
Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:
# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.
On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc)

The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means
our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do
this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of
variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a
RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it.
32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c
with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually.
Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would
have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a
large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data).
The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates
more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot.
Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even
if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC.
This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of
prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to
process which helps keep boot times on simulators down.
gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be
safe we may want a build time script which passes through the
prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.

The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to
warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the
oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to
grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames.
While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations
of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the
original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.

Reserve the memory during early boot to preserve CPU state data, HPTE region
and RMA (real mode area) region data in case of kernel crash. At the time of
crash, powerpc firmware will store CPU state data, HPTE region data and move
RMA region data to the reserved memory area.
If the firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve the memory, then fallback
to existing kexec-based kdump.
Most of the code implementation to reserve memory has been
adapted from phyp assisted dump implementation written by Linas Vepstas
and Manish Ahuja
This patch also introduces a config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP for firmware
assisted dump feature on Powerpc (ppc64) architecture.

The following patch implements the dynamic relocation processing for
PPC32 kernel. relocate() accepts the target virtual address and relocates
the kernel image to the same.
Currently the following relocation types are handled :
R_PPC_RELATIVE
R_PPC_ADDR16_LO
R_PPC_ADDR16_HI
R_PPC_ADDR16_HA
The last 3 relocations in the above list depends on value of Symbol indexed
whose index is encoded in the Relocation entry. Hence we need the Symbol
Table for processing such relocations.
Note: The GNU ld for ppc32 produces buggy relocations for relocation types
that depend on symbols. The value of the symbols with STB_LOCAL scope
should be assumed to be zero. - Alan Modra

To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread
info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit
within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions
in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the
_TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing
is enabled.
In the case of 64bit PowerPC, arch_syscall_addr and
arch_syscall_match_sym_name are overridden to allow ftrace syscalls to
work given the unusual system call table structure and symbol names that
start with a period.
