      powerpc: Don't use kernel stack with translation off · 54a83404
      Michael Neuling authored 
      In f761622e we changed
early_setup_secondary so it's called using the proper kernel stack
rather than the emergency one.

Unfortunately, this stack pointer can't be used when translation is off
on PHYP as this stack pointer might be outside the RMO.  This results in
the following on all non zero cpus:
  cpu 0x1: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000001639fd10]
      pc: 000000000001c50c
      lr: 000000000000821c
      sp: c00000001639ff90
     msr: 8000000000001000
     dar: c00000001639ffa0
   dsisr: 42000000
    current = 0xc000000016393540
    paca    = 0xc000000006e00200
      pid   = 0, comm = swapper

The original patch was only tested on bare metal system, so it never
caught this problem.

This changes __secondary_start so that we calculate the new stack
pointer but only start using it after we've called early_setup_secondary.

With this patch, the above problem goes away.

      powerpc/perf_event: Reduce latency of calling perf_event_do_pending · b0d278b7
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      Commit 0fe1ac48 ("powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to
perf_event_do_pending call") moved the call to perf_event_do_pending
in timer_interrupt() down so that it was after the irq_enter() call.
Unfortunately this moved it after the code that checks whether it
is time for the next decrementer clock event.  The result is that
the call to perf_event_do_pending() won't happen until the next
decrementer clock event is due.  This was pointed out by Milton
Miller.

This fixes it by moving the check for whether it's time for the
next decrementer clock event down to the point where we're about
to call the event handler, after we've called perf_event_do_pending.

This has the side effect that on old pre-Core99 Powermacs where we
use the ppc_n_lost_interrupts mechanism to replay interrupts, a
replayed interrupt will incur a little more latency since it will
now do the code from the irq_enter down to the irq_exit, that it
used to skip.  However, these machines are now old and rare enough
that this doesn't matter.  To make it clear that ppc_n_lost_interrupts
is only used on Powermacs, and to speed up the code slightly on
non-Powermac ppc32 machines, the code that tests ppc_n_lost_interrupts
is now conditional on CONFIG_PMAC as well as CONFIG_PPC32.

      powerpc/kexec: Adds correct calling convention for kexec purgatory · 4562c986
      Matthew McClintock authored 
      Call kexec purgatory code correctly. We were getting lucky before.
If you examine the powerpc 32bit kexec "purgatory" code you will
see it expects the following:

>From kexec-tools: purgatory/arch/ppc/v2wrap_32.S
-> calling convention:
->   r3 = physical number of this cpu (all cpus)
->   r4 = address of this chunk (master only)

As such, we need to set r3 to the current core, r4 happens to be
unused by purgatory at the moment but we go ahead and set it
here as well
