smp_ops->probe() is currently supposed to return the number of cpus in
the system.
The last actual usage of the value was removed in May 2007 in e147ec8f1808
"[POWERPC] Simplify smp_space_timers". We still passed the value around
until June 2010 when even that was finally removed in c1aa687d499a
"powerpc: Clean up obsolete code relating to decrementer and timebase".
So drop that requirement, probe() now returns void, and update all
implementations.

This still has not been merged and now powerpc is the only arch that does
not have this change. Sorry about missing linuxppc-dev before.
V2->V2
- Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1
__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)

On PowerNV platforms, when a CPU is offline, we put it into nap mode.
It's possible that the CPU wakes up from nap mode while it is still
offline due to a stray IPI. A misdirected device interrupt could also
potentially cause it to wake up. In that circumstance, we need to clear
the interrupt so that the CPU can go back to nap mode.
In the past the clearing of the interrupt was accomplished by briefly
enabling interrupts and allowing the normal interrupt handling code
(do_IRQ() etc.) to handle the interrupt. This has the problem that
this code calls irq_enter() and irq_exit(), which call functions such
as account_system_vtime() which use RCU internally. Use of RCU is not
permitted on offline CPUs and will trigger errors if RCU checking is
enabled.
To avoid calling into any generic code which might use RCU, we adopt
a different method of clearing interrupts on offline CPUs. Since we
are on the PowerNV platform, we know that the system interrupt
controller is a XICS being driven directly (i.e. not via hcalls) by
the kernel. Hence this adds a new icp_native_flush_interrupt()
function to the native-mode XICS driver and arranges to call that
when an offline CPU is woken from nap. This new function reads the
interrupt from the XICS. If it is an IPI, it clears the IPI; if it
is a device interrupt, it prints a warning and disables the source.
Then it does the end-of-interrupt processing for the interrupt.
The other thing that briefly enabling interrupts did was to check and
clear the irq_happened flag in this CPU's PACA. Therefore, after
flushing the interrupt from the XICS, we also clear all bits except
the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS (interrupts are hard disabled) bit from the
irq_happened flag. The PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS flag is set by power7_nap()
and is left set to indicate that interrupts are hard disabled. This
means we then have to ignore that flag in power7_nap(), which is
reasonable since it doesn't indicate that any interrupt event needs
servicing.

The EOI handler of MSI/MSI-X interrupts for P8 (PHB3) need additional
steps to handle the P/Q bits in IVE before EOIing the corresponding
interrupt. The patch changes the EOI handler to cover that. we have
individual IRQ chip in each PHB instance. During the MSI IRQ setup
time, the IRQ chip is copied over from the original one for that IRQ,
and the EOI handler is patched with the one that will handle the P/Q
bits (As Ben suggested).

This patch drops the powerpc-specific irq_host structures and uses the common
irq_domain strucutres defined in linux/irqdomain.h. It also fixes all
the users to use the new structure names.
Renaming irq_host to irq_domain has been discussed for a long time, and this
patch is a step in the process of generalizing the powerpc virq code to be
usable by all architecture.
An astute reader will notice that this patch actually removes the irq_host
structure instead of renaming it. This is because the irq_domain structure
already exists in include/linux/irqdomain.h and has the needed data members.

Since commit [e58aa3d2: genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabled],
We run all interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled
and we even check and yell when an interrupt handler
returns with interrupts enabled (see commit [b738a50a:
genirq: Warn when handler enables interrupts]).
So now this flag is a NOOP and can be removed.

Consolidate the mux and demux of ipi messages into smp.c and call
a new smp_ops callback to actually trigger the ipi.
The powerpc architecture code is optimised for having 4 distinct
ipi triggers, which are mapped to 4 distinct messages (ipi many, ipi
single, scheduler ipi, and enter debugger). However, several interrupt
controllers only provide a single software triggered interrupt that
can be delivered to each cpu. To resolve this limitation, each smp_ops
implementation created a per-cpu variable that is manipulated with atomic
bitops. Since these lines will be contended they are optimialy marked as
shared_aligned and take a full cache line for each cpu. Distro kernels
may have 2 or 3 of these in their config, each taking per-cpu space
even though at most one will be in use.
This consolidation removes smp_message_recv and replaces the single call
actions cases with direct calls from the common message recognition loop.
The complicated debugger ipi case with its muxed crash handling code is
moved to debug_ipi_action which is now called from the demux code (instead
of the multi-message action calling smp_message_recv).
I put a call to reschedule_action to increase the likelyhood of correctly
merging the anticipated scheduler_ipi() hook coming from the scheduler
tree; that single required call can be inlined later.
The actual message decode is a copy of the old pseries xics code with its
memory barriers and cache line spacing, augmented with a per-cpu unsigned
long based on the book-e doorbell code. The optional data is set via a
callback from the implementation and is passed to the new cause-ipi hook
along with the logical cpu number. While currently only the doorbell
implemntation uses this data it should be almost zero cost to retrieve and
pass it -- it adds a single register load for the argument from the same
cache line to which we just completed a store and the register is dead
on return from the call. I extended the data element from unsigned int
to unsigned long in case some other code wanted to associate a pointer.
The doorbell check_self is replaced by a call to smp_muxed_ipi_resend,
conditioned on the CPU_DBELL feature. The ifdef guard could be relaxed
to CONFIG_SMP but I left it with BOOKE for now.
Also, the doorbell interrupt vector for book-e was not calling irq_enter
and irq_exit, which throws off cpu accounting and causes code to not
realize it is running in interrupt context. Add the missing calls.

backends. So move the current match into the RTAS backend, and allow

This is a significant rework of the XICS driver, too significant to
conveniently break it up into a series of smaller patches to be honest.
The driver is moved to a more generic location to allow new platforms
to use it, and is broken up into separate ICP and ICS "backends". For
now we have the native and "hypervisor" ICP backends and one common
RTAS ICS backend.
The driver supports one ICP backend instanciation, and many ICS ones,
in order to accomodate future platforms with multiple possibly different
interrupt "sources" mechanisms.
