Two config options exist to define powerpc MPC8xx:
* CONFIG_PPC_8xx
* CONFIG_8xx
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype has contained the following
comment about CONFIG_8xx item for some years:
"# this is temp to handle compat with arch=ppc"
There is no more users of CONFIG_8xx, so remove it.

We have a whole pile of unused code to maintain the ACOP register,
allocate coprocessor PIDs and handle ACOP faults. This mechanism
was used for the HFI adapter on POWER7 which is dead and gone and
whose driver never went upstream. It was used on some A2 core based
stuff that also never saw the light of day.
Take out all that code.
There is still some POWER8 coprocessor code that uses icswx but it's
kernel only and thus doesn't use any of that infrastructure.

POWER9 supports hugepages of size 2M and 1G in radix MMU mode. This
patch enables the usage of 1G page size for hugetlbfs. This also update
the helper such we can do 1G page allocation at runtime.
We still don't enable 1G page size on DD1 version. This is to avoid
doing workaround mentioned in commit 6d3a0379ebdc ("powerpc/mm: Add
radix__tlb_flush_pte_p9_dd1()").

Power9 does not implement the icswx instruction. This CPU feature is not visible
to userspace and is only used in the CONFIG_PPC_ICSWX code, which is generally
not enabled, and can only be triggered by other code using icswx, which should
not happen on Power9 systems in the first place. So impact should be minimal.

Of the 64-bit Book3S platforms, only powermac supports booting on an
actual non-SMP system. The other platforms can be built with SMP
disabled, but it doesn't make a lot of sense given the CPUs they support
are all multicore or multithreaded.
So give platforms the option of forcing SMP=y.

Some powerpc platforms use this to move IRQs away from a CPU being
unplugged. This function has several bugs such as not taking the right
locks or failing to NULL check pointers.
There's a new generic function doing exactly the same thing without all
the bugs, so let's use it instead.
mpe: The obvious place for the select of GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION is on
HOTPLUG_CPU, but that doesn't work. On some configs PM_SLEEP_SMP will
select HOTPLUG_CPU even though its dependencies are not met, which means
the select of GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION doesn't happen. That leads to the
build breaking. Fix it by moving the select of GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION to
SMP.

BOOKE code is dead code as per the Kconfig details. So make it simpler
by enabling MM_SLICE only for book3s_64. The changes w.r.t nohash is just
removing deadcode. W.r.t ppc64, 4k without hugetlb will now enable MM_SLICE.
But that is good, because we reduce one extra variant which probably is not
getting tested much.

This patch has been reworked since RFC version. In the RFC, this patch
was preceded by a patch clearing MSR RI for all PPC32 at all time at
exception prologs. Now MSR RI clearing is done only when this 8xx perf
events functionality is compiled in, it is therefore limited to 8xx
and merged inside this patch.
Other main changes have been to take into account detailed review from
Peter Zijlstra. The instructions counter has been reworked to behave
as a free running counter like the three other counters.
The 8xx has no PMU, however some events can be emulated by other means.
This patch implements the following events (as reported by 'perf list'):
cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event]
instructions [Hardware event]
dTLB-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
iTLB-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
'cycles' event is implemented using the timebase clock. Timebase clock
corresponds to CPU clock divided by 16, so number of cycles is
approximatly 16 times the number of TB ticks
On the 8xx, TLB misses are handled by software. It is therefore
easy to count all TLB misses each time the TLB miss exception is
called.
'instructions' is calculated by using instruction watchpoint counter.
This patch sets counter A to count instructions at address greater
than 0, hence we count all instructions executed while MSR RI bit is
set. The counter is set to the maximum which is 0xffff. Every 65535
instructions, debug instruction breakpoint exception fires. The
exception handler increments a counter in memory which then
represent the upper part of the instruction counter. We therefore
end up with a 48 bits counter. In order to avoid unnecessary overhead
while no perf event is active, this counter is started when the first
event referring to this counter is added, and the counter is stopped
when the last event referring to it is deleted. In order to properly
support breakpoint exceptions, MSR RI bit has to be unset in exception
epilogs in order to avoid breakpoint exceptions during critical
sections during changes to SRR0 and SRR1 would be problematic.
All counters are handled as free running counters.

8xx uses a two level page table with two different linux page size
support (4k and 16k). 8xx also support two different hugepage sizes
512k and 8M. In order to support them on linux we define two different
page table layout.
The size of pages is in the PGD entry, using PS field (bits 28-29):
00 : Small pages (4k or 16k)
01 : 512k pages
10 : reserved
11 : 8M pages
For 512K hugepage size a pgd entry have the below format
[<hugepte address >0101] . The hugepte table allocated will contain 8
entries pointing to 512K huge pte in 4k pages mode and 64 entries in
16k pages mode.
For 8M in 16k mode, a pgd entry have the below format
[<hugepte address >1101] . The hugepte table allocated will contain 8
entries pointing to 8M huge pte.
For 8M in 4k mode, multiple pgd entries point to the same hugepte
address and pgd entry will have the below format
[<hugepte address>1101]. The hugepte table allocated will only have one
entry.
For the time being, we do not support CPU15 ERRATA when HUGETLB is
selected

This patch adds an option to use XZ compression for the kernel image.
Currently this is only enabled for 64-bit Book3S targets, which is
roughly equivalent to the platforms that use the kernel's zImage
wrapper, and that have been tested.
The bulk of the 32-bit platforms and 64-bit BookE use uboot images,
which relies on uboot implementing XZ. In future we can enable XZ
support for those targets once someone has tested it.

This adds THP support for 4K Linux page size config with radix. We still
don't do THP with 4K Linux page size and hash page table. Hash page
table needs a 16MB hugepage and we can't do THP with 16MM hugepage and
4K Linux page size.
We add missing functions to 4K hash config to get it to build and
hash__has_transparent_hugepage() makes sure we don't enable THP for 4K
hash config. To catch wrong usage of THP related with 4K config, we add
BUG() in those dummy functions we added to get it compile.

The TUNE_CELL option allows you to build a kernel that runs on multiple
CPUs but is tuned (ie. optimised) to run on Cell CPUs. Now days no one
is building a distro in that fashion, and any users who are building
custom kernels for their Cell machines are better off building with
CONFIG_CELL_CPU, which builds a kernel that only runs on Cell and
therefore can be optimised even more aggresively.
Dropping the option also avoids confusing other users, who are presented
with an option to tune for Cell when they are not building for a Cell
CPU at all.

The only little endian configuration we support is ppc64le. As such if
we're building little endian we don't need a 32-bit VDSO, because there
is no 32-bit userspace.
This patch is a fairly ugly mess of #ifdefs, but is the minimal logic
required to disable the 32-bit VDSO. We can hopefully clean up the

Although the name CONFIG_POWER4 suggests that it controls support for
power4 cpus, this symbol is actually misnamed.
It is a historical wart from the powermac code, which used to support
building a 32-bit kernel for power4. CONFIG_POWER4 was used in that
context to guard code that was 64-bit only.
In the powermac code we can just use CONFIG_PPC64 instead, and in other

The code is only slightly modified : entry points now use the
FIXUP_ENDIAN trampoline to switch endian order. The 32bit wrapper
is kept for big endian kernels and 64bit is enforced for little
endian kernels with a PPC64_BOOT_WRAPPER config option.
The linker script is generated using the kernel preprocessor flags
to make use of the CONFIG_* definitions and the wrapper script is
modified to take into account the new elf64ppc format.
Finally, the zImage file is compiled as a position independent
executable (-pie) which makes it loadable at any address by the
firmware.

We now have pmd entries covering 16MB range and the PMD table double its original size.
We use the second half of the PMD table to deposit the pgtable (PTE page).
The depoisted PTE page is further used to track the HPTE information. The information
include [ secondary group | 3 bit hidx | valid ]. We use one byte per each HPTE entry.
With 16MB hugepage and 64K HPTE we need 256 entries and with 4K HPTE we need
4096 entries. Both will fit in a 4K PTE page. On hugepage invalidate we need to walk
the PTE page and invalidate all valid HPTEs.
This patch implements necessary arch specific functions for THP support and also
hugepage invalidate logic. These PMD related functions are intentionally kept
similar to their PTE counter-part.

This gives the kernel a paravirtualized machine to target, without
requiring both sides to pretend to be targeting a specific board
that likely has little to do with the host in KVM scenarios. This
avoids the need to add new boards to QEMU just to be able to
run KVM on new CPUs.
As this is the first platform that can run with either e500v2 or
e500mc, CONFIG_PPC_E500MC is now a legitimately user configurable
option, so add a help text.

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"Here are the powerpc goodies for 3.5. Main highlights are:
- Support for the NX crypto engine in Power7+
- A bunch of Anton goodness, including some micro optimization of our
syscall entry on Power7
- I converted a pile of our thermal control drivers to the new i2c
APIs (essentially turning the old therm_pm72 into a proper set of
windfarm drivers). That's one more step toward removing the
deprecated i2c APIs, there's still a few drivers to fix, but we are
getting close
- kexec/kdump support for 47x embedded cores
The big missing thing here is no updates from Freescale. Not sure
what's up here, but with Kumar not working for them anymore things are
a bit in a state of flux in that area."

Add a menu to select various 64-bit CPU targets for gcc. We
default to -mtune=power7 and if gcc doesn't understand that we
fallback to -mtune=power4.

Remove CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY, the option is badly named and only does two
things:
- It wraps the MMU segment table code. With feature fixups there is
little downside to compiling this in.
- It uses the newer mtocrf instruction in various assembly functions.
Instead of making this a compile option just do it at runtime via
a feature fixup.
