We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement
this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h.

Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the
problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then
cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs
reg.h (for MSR_EE).

So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

<title>powerpc: Send SIGBUS on unaligned copy and paste</title>

<content type='text'>
Calling ISA 3.0 instructions copy, copy_first, paste and paste_last
generates an alignment fault when copying or pasting unaligned
data (128 byte). We catch this and send SIGBUS to the userspace
process that caused it.

We do not emulate these because paste may contain additional metadata
when pasting to a co-processor and paste_last is the synchronisation
point for preceding copy/paste sequences.

Thanks to Michael Neuling &lt;mikey@neuling.org&gt; for his help.

<title>powerpc/align: Use #ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN__ #else for REG_BYTE</title>

Sparse complains that it doesn't know what REG_BYTE is:

  arch/powerpc/kernel/align.c:313:29: error: undefined identifier 'REG_BYTE'

REG_BYTE is defined differently based on whether we're compiling for
LE, BE32 or BE64. Sparse apparently doesn't provide __BIG_ENDIAN__ or
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__, which means we get no definition.

Rather than check for __BIG_ENDIAN__ and then separately for
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__, just switch the #ifdef to check for __BIG_ENDIAN__
and then #else we define the little endian version. Technically that's
dicey because PDP_ENDIAN is also a possibility, but we already do it in
a lot of places so one more hardly matters.

The enable_kernel_*() functions leave the relevant MSR bits enabled
until we exit the kernel sometime later. Create disable versions
that wrap the kernel use of FP, Altivec VSX or SPE.

While we don't want to disable it normally for performance reasons
(MSR writes are slow), it will be used for a debug boot option that
does this and catches bad uses in other areas of the kernel.

Use make_dsisr instead of open coding it. This also have
the added benefit of handling alignment interrupt on additional

This patch enables alignment handling for the load/store floating point
pair instructions (lfdp, lfdpx, stfdp, stfdpx).  The handler routine
is properly coded and only needs to be enabled.

<title>powerpc: Fix Handler of Unaligned Load/Store Strings</title>

The alignment handler is incorrect for unaligned string instructions
in little endian mode.  These instructions access data as arrays of
bytes and thus are endian neutral.  However, the routine also handles
the load/store multiple instructions, which are NOT endian neutral.

This patch toggles the byte swapping flag for the string instructions
in little endian builds.  This effectively disables the byte swapping
logic.
