In swab.h the "#if BITS_PER_LONG > 32" breaks compiling userspace programs if
BITS_PER_LONG is #defined by userspace with the sizeof() compiler builtin.
Solve this problem by using __BITS_PER_LONG instead. Since we now
#include asm/bitsperlong.h avoid further potential userspace pollution
by moving the #define of SHIFT_PER_LONG to bitops.h which is not
exported to userspace.
This patch unbreaks compiling qemu on hppa/parisc.

Mike reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
set_sched_clock_stable() using hotplug.
This exposed a fundamental problem with the interface, we should never
mark the TSC stable if we ever find it to be unstable. Therefore
set_sched_clock_stable() is a broken interface.
The reason it existed is that not having it is a pain, it means all
relevant architecture code needs to call clear_sched_clock_stable()
where appropriate.
Of the three architectures that select HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK ia64
and parisc are trivial in that they never called
set_sched_clock_stable(), so add an unconditional call to
clear_sched_clock_stable() to them.
For x86 the story is a lot more involved, and what this patch tries to
do is ensure we preserve the status quo. So even is Cyrix or Transmeta
have usable TSC they never called set_sched_clock_stable() so they now
get an explicit mark unstable.

Commit 7e7814180b33 ("signal: consolidate {TS,TLF}_RESTORE_SIGMASK code")
introduced code with which the "restore sigmask" flag lives in task_struct
instead of ti->flags. Let's use this optimization on parisc too.

The cr16 interval timer of each CPU is not syncronized to other cr16
timers in other CPUs in a SMP system. So, delay the registration of the
cr16 clocksource until all CPUs have been detected and then - if we are
on a SMP machine - mark the cr16 clocksource as unstable and lower it's
rating before registering it at the clocksource framework.
This patch fixes the stalled CPU warnings which we have seen since
introduction of the cr16 clocksource.

Restructure the timer interrupt function to better cope with missed timer irqs.
Optimize the calculation when the next interrupt should happen and skip irqs if
they would happen too shortly after exit of the irq function.
The update_process_times() call is done anyway at every timer irq, so we can
safely drop the prof_counter and prof_multiplier variables from the per_cpu
structure.

This change allows us to pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC which allows us to
avoid invoking cache line invalidation if the driver will just handle it

This patch fixes the debug code which runs during the inventory scan on
machines with PAT firmware.
Additionally print out the relationship between the detected logical CPU
number and it's physical location and physical cpu number.
This leads to information which can be used to feed numa-structures in
the kernel in later patches. An example output is from my single-CPU (2
cores) C8000 machine is:
Logical CPU #0 is physical cpu #0 at 0xffff0000ffff15, hpa 0xfffffffffe780000
Logical CPU #1 is physical cpu #1 at 0xffff0000ffff15, hpa 0xfffffffffe781000

Since kernel 3.9 we re-enable interrupts quite late due to commit c207a76bf15
("parisc: only re-enable interrupts if we need to schedule or deliver signals
when returning to userspace"). At that time the parisc kernel had no dedicated
IRQ stack, and this commit prevented kernel stack overflows.
But since commit 200c880420a ("parisc: implement irq stacks") we now have an
IRQ stack, so we may be safe now. And when CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW=y is
enabled, we can even check at runtime for overflows.

At bootup we run measurements to calculate the best threshold for when we
should be using full TLB flushes instead of just flushing a specific amount of
TLB entries. This performance test is run over the kernel text segment.
But running this TLB performance test on the kernel text segment turned out to
crash some SMP machines when the kernel text pages were mapped as huge pages.
To avoid those crashes this patch simply skips this test on some SMP machines
and calculates an optimal threshold based on the maximum number of available
TLB entries and number of online CPUs.
On a technical side, this seems to happen:
The TLB measurement code uses flush_tlb_kernel_range() to flush specific TLB
entries with a page size of 4k (pdtlb 0(sr1,addr)). On UP systems this purge
instruction seems to work without problems even if the pages were mapped as
huge pages. But on SMP systems the TLB purge instruction is broadcasted to
other CPUs. Those CPUs then crash the machine because the page size is not as
expected. C8000 machines with PA8800/PA8900 CPUs were not affected by this
problem, because the required cache coherency prohibits to use huge pages at
all. Sadly I didn't found any documentation about this behaviour, so this
finding is purely based on testing with phyiscal SMP machines (A500-44 and
J5000, both were 2-way boxes).

flush_icache_page_asm
We have four routines in pacache.S that use temporary alias pages:
copy_user_page_asm(), clear_user_page_asm(), flush_dcache_page_asm() and
flush_icache_page_asm(). copy_user_page_asm() and clear_user_page_asm()
don't purge the TLB entry used for the operation.
flush_dcache_page_asm() and flush_icache_page_asm do purge the entry.
Presumably, this was thought to optimize TLB use. However, the
operation is quite heavy weight on PA 1.X processors as we need to take
the TLB lock and a TLB broadcast is sent to all processors.
This patch removes the purges from flush_dcache_page_asm() and
flush_icache_page_asm.

The attached change interchanges the order of purging the TLB and
setting the corresponding page table entry. TLB purges are strongly
ordered. It occurred to me one night that setting the PTE first might
have subtle ordering issues on SMP machines and cause random memory
corruption.
A TLB lock guards the insertion of user TLB entries. So after the TLB
is purged, a new entry can't be inserted until the lock is released.
This ensures that the new PTE value is used when the lock is released.
Since making this change, no random segmentation faults have been
observed on the Debian hppa buildd servers.

This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket
SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a
particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having
these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with
these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender
limitation. For example, a video server can tell if a particular
chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because
TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to
tell before this patch without packet traces.
To prepare these stats, the user needs to set
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags
while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the
timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned
in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS,
in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME,
TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED. Unit is microsecond.

This is the second issue I noticed in reviewing the parisc TLB code.
The fic instruction may use either the instruction or data TLB in
flushing the instruction cache. Thus, on machines with a split TLB, we
should also flush the data TLB after setting up the temporary alias
registers.
Although this has no functional impact, I changed the pdtlb and pitlb
instructions to consistently use the index register %r0. These
instructions do not support integer displacements.
Tested on rp3440 and c8000.

We are still troubled by occasional random segmentation faults and
memory memory corruption on SMP machines. The causes quite a few
package builds to fail on the Debian buildd machines for parisc. When
gcc-6 failed to build three times in a row, I looked again at the TLB
related code. I found a couple of issues. This is the first.
In general, we need to ensure page table updates and corresponding TLB
purges are atomic. The attached patch fixes an instance in pci-dma.c
where the page table update was not guarded by the TLB lock.
Tested on rp3440 and c8000. So far, no further random segmentation
faults have been observed.

flush_tlb_all_local(NULL);
local_irq_enable(); /* Interrupts have been off until now */
cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE);
So, it has just flushed its caches and the TLB. It would seem either the
flushes in parisc_setup_cache_timing or smp_callin have corrupted kernel
memory.
The attached patch reworks parisc_setup_cache_timing to remove the races
in setting the cache and TLB flush thresholds. It also corrects the
number of bytes flushed in the TLB calculation.
The patch flushes the cache and TLB on cpu0 before starting the
secondary processors so that they are started from a known state.
Tested with a few reboots on c8000.

For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
"cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.

We have one critical section in the syscall entry path in which we switch from
the userspace stack to kernel stack. In the event of an external interrupt, the
interrupt code distinguishes between those two states by analyzing the value of
sr7. If sr7 is zero, it uses the kernel stack. Therefore it's important, that
the value of sr7 is in sync with the currently enabled stack.
This patch now disables interrupts while executing the critical section. This
prevents the interrupt handler to possibly see an inconsistent state which in
the worst case can lead to crashes.
Interestingly, in the syscall exit path interrupts were already disabled in the
critical section which switches back to the userspace stack.

There is no need to trash sr2 and sr3 in the Light-weight syscall (LWS). sr2
already points to kernel space (it's zero in userspace, otherwise syscalls
wouldn't work), and since the LWS code is executed in userspace, we can simply
ignore to preload sr3.

Commit 4fe9e1d957e4 ("parisc: Drop bootmem and switch to memblock")
switched to the memblock allocator, but missed to zero-initialize the
newly allocated memblocks. This lead to crashes on some machines like
the rp3410.

Architecturally we need to keep __gp below 0x1000000.
But because of ftrace and tracepoint support, the RO_DATA_SECTION now gets much
bigger than it was before. By moving the linkage tables before RO_DATA_SECTION
we can avoid that __gp gets positioned at a too high address.

This file was only including module.h for exception table related
functions. We've now separated that content out into its own file
"extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the extra header
content in module.h that we don't really need to compile this file.

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.
