f465df81a8 powerpc: Move memory size print into common show_cpuinfo for 32-bit
Most of the platforms were printing the size of the memory
in their show_cpuinfo implementations. This moves that to
the common show_cpuinfo, so that all 32-bit platforms will
now print the size of memory.  I also update the code
to deal with the fact that total_memory is now a phys_addr_t.

6a75a6b8e8 powerpc: Use cpu_thread_in_core in smp_init for of_spin_map
We used to assume that even numbered threads were the primary

open firmware.  Replace a left over is even (% 2) check with a check

f027faa231 powerpc/spufs: Don't spu_acquire_saved unnecessarily in regs read
With most file readers (eg cat, dd), reading a context's regs file will
result in two reads: the first to read the data, and the second to
return EOF. Because each read performs a spu_acquire_saved, we end up
descheduling and re-scheduling the context twice.

This change does a simple check to see if we'd return EOF before
calling spu_acquire_saved(), saving the extra schedule operation.

14f693eeb5 powerpc/spufs: Don't require full buffer in switch_log read
Currently, read() on the sputrace log will block until the read buffer
is full. This makes it difficult to retrieve the end of the buffer, as
the user will need to read with the right-sized buffer.

In a similar method as 91553a1b5e0df006a3573a88d98ee7cd48a3818a, this
change makes the switch_log return if there has already been data
read.

f5ed0eb6fe powerpc/spufs: Use state_mutex for switch_log locking, and prevent multiple openers
Currently, we use ctx->mapping_lock and ctx->switch_log->lock for the
context switch log. The mapping lock only prevents concurrent open()s,
so we require the switch_lock->lock for reads.

Since writes to the switch log buffer occur on context switches, we're
better off synchronising with the state_mutex, which is held during a
switch. Since we're serialised througout the buffer reads and writes,
we can use the state mutex to protect open and release too, and
can now kfree() the log buffer on release. This allows us to perform
the switch log notify without taking any extra locks.

Because the buffer is only present while the file is open, we can use
it to prevent multiple simultaneous openers.

baf399273f powerpc/spufs: sputrace: Only enable logging on open(), prevent multiple openers
Currently, sputrace will start logging to the event buffer before the
log buffer has been open()ed. This results in a heap of "lost samples"
warnings if the sputrace file hasn't yet been opened.

Since the buffer is reset on open() anyway, there's no need to enable
logging when no-one has opened the log.

Because open clears the log, make it return EBUSY for mutliple open
calls.

ee673eaa72 powerpc: Fix CHRP PCI config access for indirect_pci
Recently, indirect_pci was changed to test if the bus number requested
is the one hanging straight off the PHB, then it substitutes the bus
number with another one contained in a new "self_busno" field of the
pci_controller structure.

However, this breaks CHRP which didn't initialize this new field, and
which relies on having the right bus number passed to the hardware.

This fixes it by initializing this variable properly for all CHRP bridges

62666828ba powerpc/83xx: don't probe broken PCI on mpc837x_mds boards
In the standalone setup the board's CPLD disables the PCI internal
arbiter, thus any access to the PCI bus will hang the board.

The common way to disable particular devices in the device tree is to
put the "status" property with any value other than "ok" or "okay"
into the device node we want to disable.

So, when there is no PCI arbiter on the bus the u-boot adds status =
"broken (no arbiter)" property into the PCI controller's node, and so
marks the PCI controller as unavailable.

302905a347 powerpc/xics: Update default_server during migrate_irqs_away
Currently, every time we determine which irq server to use, we check if
default_server, which is the id of the bootcpu, is still online.  But
default_server is a hardware cpu, not the logical cpu id needed to index
cpu_online_map.

Since the default server can only go offline during a cpu hotplug event,
explicitly check the default server and choose the new one when we move
irqs away from the cpu being offlined.

This has the added benefit of only needing the boot_cpuid to be updated
and not relying on the cpu being marked offline during migrate_irqs_away.

Also, since xics_update_irq_servers only reads device tree information, we
can call it before xics_init_host in xics_init_IRQ and then default_server
will always be valid when we can reach get_irq_server via the host ops.

8767e9badc powerpc/xics: EOI unmapped irqs after disabling them
When reciving an irq vector that does not have a linux mapping, the kernel
prints a message and calls RTAS to disable the irq source.   Previously
the kernel did not EOI the interrupt, causing the source to think it is
still being processed by software.  While this does add an additional
layer of protection against interrupt storms had RTAS failed to disable
the source, it also prevents the interrupt from working when a driver
later enables it.  (We could alternatively send an EOI on startup, but
that strategy would likely fail on an emulated xics.)

All interrupts should be disabled when the kernel starts, but this can
be observed if a driver does not shutdown an interrupt in its reboot
hook before starting a new kernel with kexec.

Michael reports this can be reproduced trivially by banging the keyboard
while kexec'ing on a P5 LPAR: even though the hvc_console driver request's
the console irq later in boot, the console is non-functional because
we're receiving no console interrupts.

9fd3f88cb6 powerpc: Oops in pseries_lmb_remove()
Testing hotplug memory remove has revealed that we can oops in
pseries_lmb_remove().  The incorrect shift causes a NULL pointer
dereference in the page_zone() inline routine.

I have only been able to reproduce the oops on kernels with large pages
enabled.

Tested on Power5 and Power6 with and without large pages enabled.
