Pull main powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This time around, the powerpc merges are going to be a little bit more
complicated than usual.
This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge
window. I will describe it a bit more further down.
There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't
included it in this tree as it depends on some work in tip/timer-core
which Thomas accidentally forgot to put in a topic branch. Since I
didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I
setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle
driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately
for a while now. I'll send a separate pull request for it.
Additionally, two new pieces in this tree add users for a sysfs API
that Tejun and Greg have been deprecating in drivers-core-next.
Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this
merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch
adjusting our new code to the new API so that Greg can send you the
removal patch.
Now as for the content of this branch, we have a lot of perf work for
power8 new counters including support for our new "nest" counters
(also called 24x7) under pHyp (not natively yet).
We have new functionality when running under the OPAL firmware
(non-virtualized or KVM host), such as access to the firmware error
logs and service processor dumps, system parameters and sensors, along
with a hwmon driver for the latter.
There's also a bunch of bug fixes accross the board, some LE fixes,
and a nice set of selftests for validating our various types of copy
loops.
On the Freescale side, we see mostly new chip/board revisions, some
clock updates, better support for machine checks and debug exceptions,
etc..."

Turn Anton's memcpy / copy_tofrom_user test into something that can
live in tools/testing/selftests.
It requires one turd in arch/powerpc/lib/memcpy_64.S, but it's pretty
harmless IMHO.
We are sailing very close to the wind with the feature macros. We define
them to nothing, which currently means we get a few extra nops and
include the unaligned calls.

The output of each kvm-test-1-run.sh script is placed into a file
whose name parallels that of the build directory. This means that
the kvm-test-1-run.sh output is overwritten by later run. This
commit therefore places the kvm-test-1-run.sh output into the
per-test-case directory in the "res" hierarchy.

This commit uses the standard software ploy of introducing another
level of indirection below the configs directory. This allows each
torture-test suite to have its own set of Kconfig files, boot parameters,
and version-specific scripts. Initially, we have only rcu, but lock
will follow soonish.

The current set of functions in ver_functions.sh have APIs that are
specific to RCU. This commit therefore makes an RCU-independent function
that outputs version-specific boot arguments. This has the benefit that
a test-type-independent call in kvm-test-1-rcu.sh can now handle any type
of test, given a test-type-specific set of files in a configs directory.

Currently, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y is hardcoded into the
kvm-test-1-rcu.sh script and CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y is mentioned in each
and every configs file. This commit creates a CFcommon file for these
two Kconfig parameters, and modifies kvm-test-1-rcu.sh to copy this new
file into the .config file during the build. This change will allow
these scripts to operate on torture types other than just rcutorture.

This commit adds a "(!)" flag after the number of CPUs required by a

Running the standard set of rcutorture tests on 24 CPUs results in
the following sub-optimal schedule:
----start batch----
TREE07 16
----start batch----
TREE08 16
SRCU-P 8
----start batch----
TREE01 8
TREE02 8
TREE03 8
----start batch----
TREE04 8
TREE05 8
TREE06 8
----start batch----
SRCU-N 4
TINY01 1
TINY02 1
TREE09 1
If one of the eight-CPU runs were to be moved into the first batch,
the test suite would complete in four batches rather than five.
This commit therefore uses a greedy algorithm to re-order the test
entries so that the sequential batching will produce an optimal schedule
in this case:
----start batch----
TREE07 16
SRCU-P 8
----start batch----
TREE08 16
TREE01 8
----start batch----
TREE02 8
TREE03 8
TREE04 8
----start batch----
TREE05 8
TREE06 8
SRCU-N 4
TINY01 1
TINY02 1
TREE09 1
Please note that this is still not an optimal bin-packing algorithm,
however, it does produce optimal solutions for most common scenarios.

Actual rcutorture tests take considerable time and machine resources,
so it is inconvenient to actually do an rcutorture run when optimizing
the bin-packing algorithm. This commit therefore adds a --dryrun
argument, which defaults to doing a run, but for which "sched"
says to simply print the run schedule and "script" dumps the script
without running it.
