Using perf to trace L1 dcache misses and dumping data addresses I found a few
variables taking a lot of misses. Since they are almost never written, they
should go into the __read_mostly section.

This patch provides an extended_cede_processor() helper function
which takes the cede latency hint as an argument. This hint is to be passed
on to the hypervisor to cede to the corresponding state on platforms
which support it.

Prior to the arch/ppc -> arch/powerpc transition, xmon had support for single
stepping on 4xx boards. The functionality was lost when arch/ppc was removed.
This patch restores single step support for 44x boards, and Book-E in general.

The xmon code relies on MSR_RI being non-zero to indicate that an exception
is recoverable. If it is not, it prints a warning message. However, the
PowerPC 4xx cores do not have an MSR_RI bit and this warning is produced for
every xmon event.
This introduces an unrecoverable_excp function to determine if an exception
is recoverable or not. This gets rid of the erroneous warnings on 4xx.

Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.
The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
being fixed.
The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.
The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.
It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

Hello All,
Quite a while back Michael Ellerman had posted a patch to add support to xmon to print the contents of the console log pointed to by __log_buf.
Here's the link to that patch - http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc64-dev/2005-March/003657.html
I've ported the patch in the above link to 2.6.30-rc5 and have tested it.
Thanks & regards,
Vinay

Today the arch/powerpc/xmon/setjmp.S file contains only the
xmon_save_regs function. We want to use it for kdump purposes, so
let's move the file into arch/powerpc/kernel/ and give the function a
more generic name (ppc_save_regs).

According to the CBEA, the SPU dsisr is not updated for class 0
exceptions.
spu_stopped() is testing the dsisr that was passed to it from the class
0 exception handler, so we return a false positive here.
This patch cleans up the interrupt handler and erroneous tests in
spu_stopped. It also removes the fields from the csa since it is not
needed to process class 0 events.

Currently we hardwire the number of SLBs to 64, but PAPR says we
should use the ibm,slb-size property to obtain the number of SLB
entries. This uses this property instead of assuming 64. If no
property is found, we assume 64 entries as before.
This soft patches the SLB handler, so it shouldn't change performance
at all.
