When adding cpuidle support to pSeries, we introduced two
regressions:
- The new cpuidle backend driver only works under hypervisors
supporting the "SLPLAR" option, which isn't the case of the
old POWER4 hypervisor and the HV "light" used on js2x blades
- The cpuidle driver registers fairly late, meaning that for
a significant portion of the boot process, we end up having
all threads spinning. This slows down the boot process and
increases the overall resource usage if the hypervisor has
shared processors.
This fixes both by implementing a "default" idle that will cede
to the hypervisor when possible, in a very simple way without
all the bells and whisles of cpuidle.

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window. Some of the
highlights are:
- A bunch of endian fixes ! We don't have full LE support yet in that
release but this contains a lot of fixes all over arch/powerpc to
use the proper accessors, call the firmware with the right endian
mode, etc...
- A few updates to our "powernv" platform (non-virtualized, the one
to run KVM on), among other, support for bridging the P8 LPC bus
for UARTs, support and some EEH fixes.
- Some mpc51xx clock API cleanups in preparation for a clock API
overhaul
- A pile of cleanups of our old math emulation code, including better
support for using it to emulate optional FP instructions on
embedded chips that otherwise have a HW FPU.
- Some infrastructure in selftest, for powerpc now, but could be
generalized, initially used by some tests for our perf instruction
counting code.
- A pile of fixes for hotplug on pseries (that was seriously
bitrotting)
- The usual slew of freescale embedded updates, new boards, 64-bit
hiberation support, e6500 core PMU support, etc..."

Calls to dlpar_detach_node do not iterate over child nodes detaching them as
well. By iterating and detaching the child nodes we ensure that they have the
OF_DETACHED flag set and that their reference counts are decremented such that
the node will be freed from memory by of_node_release.

Currently the device nodes created in the device subtree returned by a call to
dlpar_configure_connector are all named in the root node. This is because the
the node name in the work area returned by ibm,configure-connector rtas call
only contains the node name and not the entire node path. Passing the parent
node where the new subtree will be created to dlpar_configure_connector allows
the correct node path to be prefixed in the full_name field.

Currently the OF_DYNAMIC and kref initialization for a node happens in
dlpar_attach_node. However, a node passed to dlpar_attach_node may be a tree
containing child nodes, and no initialization traversal is done on the
tree. Since the children never get their kref initialized or the OF_DYNAMIC
flag set these nodes are prevented from ever being released from memory
should they become detached. This initialization step is better done at the
time each node is allocated in dlpar_parse_cc_node.

On the first call to ibm,update-properties for a node the first property
returned is the full node path. Currently this is not parsed correctly by the
update_dt_node function. Commit 2e9b7b0 attempted to fix this, but was
incorrect as it made a wrong assumption about the layout of the first
property in the work area. Further, if ibm,update-properties must be called
multiple times for the same node this special property should only be skipped
after the initial call. The first property descriptor returned consists of
the property name, property value length, and property value. The property
name is an empty string, property length is encoded in 4 byte integer, and
the property value is the node path.

header
The work area buffer returned by the ibm,update-properties rtas call contains
20 bytes of header information prior to the property value descriptor data.
Currently update_dt_node tries to advance over this header using sizeof(upwa).
The update_props_workarea struct contains 20 bytes worth of fields, that map
to the relevant header data, but the sizeof the structure is 24 bytes due to
4 bytes of padding at the end of the structure. Packing the structure ensures
that we don't advance too far over the rtas buffer.

The rc variable is initially used to store the return code from the
ibm,update-properties rtas call which returns 0 or 1 on success. A return
code of 1 indicates that ibm,update-properties must be called again for the
node. However, the rc variable is overwritten by a call to update_dt_prop
which returns 0 on success. This results in ibm,update-properties not being
called again for the given node when the rtas call rc was previously 1.

The update_dt_prop helper function fails to set the IN/OUT parameter prop to

When EEH error happens to one specific PE, some devices with drivers
supporting EEH won't except hotplug on the device. However, there
might have other deivces without driver, or with driver without EEH
support. For the case, we need do partial hotplug in order to make
sure that the PE becomes absolutely quite during reset. Otherise,
the PE reset might fail and leads to failure of error recovery.
The current code doesn't handle that 'mixed' case properly, it either
uses the error callbacks to the drivers, or tries hotplug, but doesn't
handle a PE (EEH domain) composed of a combination of the two.
The patch intends to support so-called "partial" hotplug for EEH:
Before we do reset, we stop and remove those PCI devices without
EEH sensitive driver. The corresponding EEH devices are not detached
from its PE, but with special flag. After the reset is done, those
EEH devices with the special flag will be scanned one by one.

In case compression fails, the patch takes care of copying the header added

If a hash bucket gets full, we "evict" a more/less random entry from it.
When we do that we don't invalidate the TLB (hpte_remove) because we assume
the old translation is still technically "valid". This implies that when
we are invalidating or updating pte, even if HPTE entry is not valid
we should do a tlb invalidate. With hugepages, we need to pass the correct
actual page size value for tlb invalidation.

IBM's p series machines provide persistent storage for LPARs through NVRAM.
NVRAM's lnx,oops-log partition is used to log oops messages.
Currently the kernel provides the contents of p-series NVRAM only as a
simple stream of bytes via /dev/nvram, which must be interpreted in user
space by the nvram command in the powerpc-utils package.
This patch set exploits the pstore subsystem to expose oops partition in
NVRAM as a separate file in /dev/pstore. For instance, Oops messages will be
stored in a file named [dmesg-nvram-2]. In case pstore registration fails it
will fall back to kmsg_dump mechanism.
This patch will read/write the oops messages from/to this partition via pstore.
