An example calling sequence which we did see:

copy_user_highpage -&gt; kmap_atomic -&gt; flush_tlb_page -&gt; _tlbil_va

We got interrupted after setting up the MAS registers before the
tlbwe and the interrupt handler that caused the interrupt also did
a kmap_atomic (ide code) and thus on returning from the interrupt
the MAS registers no longer contained the proper values.

Since we dont save/restore MAS registers for normal interrupts we
need to disable interrupts in _tlbil_va to ensure atomicity.

The powerpc 32-bit and 64-bit kernel_thread functions don't properly
propagate errors being returned by the clone syscall.  (In the case of
error, the syscall exit code returns a positive errno in r3 and sets
the CR0[SO] bit.)

This patch fixes that by negating r3 if CR0[SO] is set after the syscall.

<title>powerpc: Introduce local (non-broadcast) forms of tlb invalidates</title>

<id>0ba3418b8b1c85ee1771c63f1dd12041614e56ff</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduced a new set of low level tlb invalidate functions that do not
broadcast invalidates on the bus:

_tlbil_all - invalidate all
_tlbil_pid - invalidate based on process id (or mm context)
_tlbil_va  - invalidate based on virtual address (ea + pid)

On non-SMP configs _tlbil_all should be functionally equivalent to _tlbia and
_tlbil_va should be functionally equivalent to _tlbie.

The intent of this change is to handle SMP based invalidates via IPIs instead
of broadcasts as the mechanism scales better for larger number of cores.

On e500 (fsl-booke mmu) based cores move to using MMUCSR for invalidate alls
and tlbsx/tlbwe for invalidate virtual address.

* Mark __flush_icache_range as a function that can't be probed since its
  used by the kprobe code.

* Fix an issue with single stepping and async exceptions.  We need to
  ensure that we dont get an async exception (external, decrementer, etc)
  while we are attempting to single step the probe point.

  Added a check to ensure we only handle a single step if its really
  intended for the instruction in question.

<title>[POWERPC] Add IRQSTACKS support on ppc32</title>

This makes it possible to use separate stacks for hard and soft IRQs
on 32-bit powerpc as well as on 64-bit.  The code for 32-bit is just
the 32-bit analog of the 64-bit code.

* Added allocation and initialization of the irq stacks.  We limit the
  stacks to be in lowmem for ppc32.
* Implemented ppc32 versions of call_do_softirq() and call_handle_irq()
  to switch the stack pointers
* Reworked how we do stack overflow detection.  We now keep around the
  limit of the stack in the thread_struct and compare against the limit
  to see if we've overflowed.  We can now use this on ppc64 if desired.

[ paulus@samba.org: Fixed bug on 6xx where we need to reload r9 with the
  thread_info pointer. ]

Use (31-THREAD_SHIFT) to get to thread_info from stack pointer.  This makes
the code a bit easier to read and more robust if we ever change THREAD_SHIFT.

<title>[POWERPC] Add __ucmpdi2 for 64-bit comparisons in 32-bit kernels</title>

Some drivers (such as V4L2) have code that causes gcc to generate
calls to __ucmpdi2 when compiling for 32-bit powerpc, which results
in either a link-time error or a module that can't be loaded, as
we don't currently have a __ucmpdi2.  This adds one so these drivers
can be used.
