perf on POWER stopped working after commit e050e3f0a71b (perf: Fix
broken interrupt rate throttling). That patch exposed a bug in
the POWER perf_events code.

Since the PMCs count upwards and take an exception when the top bit
is set, we want to write 0x80000000 - left in power_pmu_start. We were
instead programming in left which effectively disables the counter
until we eventually hit 0x80000000. This could take seconds or longer.

With the patch applied I get the expected number of samples:

          SAMPLE events:       9948

<title>powerpc: Disable interrupts early in Program Check</title>

Program Check exceptions are the result of WARNs, BUGs, some
type of breakpoints, kprobe, and other illegal instructions.

We want interrupts (and thus preemption) to remain disabled
while doing the initial stage of testing the reason and
branching off to a debugger or kprobe, so we are still on
the original CPU which makes debugging easier in various cases.

This is how the code was intended, hence the local_irq_enable()
right in the middle of program_check_exception().

However, the assembly exception prologue for that exception was
incorrectly marked as enabling interrupts, which defeats that
(and records a redundant enable with lockdep).

Upstream changes to the way PHB resources are registered
broke the resource fixup for FSL boards.

We can no longer rely on the resource pointer array for the PHB's
pci_bus structure, so let's leave it alone and go straight for
the PHB resources instead. This also makes the code generally
more readable.

<title>powerpc: Fix kernel log of oops/panic instruction dump</title>

<content type='text'>
A kernel oops/panic prints an instruction dump showing several
instructions before and after the instruction which caused the
oops/panic.

The code intended that the faulting instruction be enclosed in angle
brackets, however a bug caused the faulting instruction to be
interpreted by printk() as the message log level.

To fix this, the KERN_CONT log level is added before the actual text of
the printed message.

EEH may happen during a PCI driver probe. If the driver is trying to
access some register in a loop, the EEH code will try to print the
driver name. But the driver pointer in struct pci_dev is not set until
probe returns successfully.

Use a function to test if the device and the driver pointer is NULL
before accessing the driver's name.

This fixes a hang that was observed during live partition migration.
Since stop_topology_update must not be called from an interrupt
context, call it earlier in the migration process. The hang observed
can be seen below:

This fixes a hang that was observed during live partition migration.
Since stop_topology_update must not be called from an interrupt
context, call it earlier in the migration process. The hang observed
can be seen below:

We need to disable interrupts when taking the phb-&gt;lock. Otherwise
we could deadlock with pci_lock taken from an interrupt.

We use __get_cpu_var() which triggers a false positive warning
in smp_processor_id() thinking interrupts are enabled (at this
point, they are soft-enabled but hard-disabled).

We call the cache_hwirq_map() function with a linux IRQ number
but it expects a HW irq number. This triggers a BUG on multic-chip
setups in addition to not doing the right thing.
