Various thing are torn down when a CPU is hot-unplugged. That CPU
is expected to go back to start_secondary when re-plugged to re
initialize everything, such as clock sources, maps, ...

Some implementations just return from cpu_die() callback
in the idle loop when the CPU is "re-plugged". This is not enough.

We fix it using a little asm trampoline which resets the stack
and calls back into start_secondary as if we were all fresh from
boot. The trampoline already existed on ppc64, but we add it for
ppc32

These APIs take logical cpu number as input
Change cpu_first_thread_in_core() to cpu_first_thread_sibling()
Change cpu_last_thread_in_core() to cpu_last_thread_sibling()

These APIs convert core number (index) to logical cpu/thread numbers
Add cpu_first_thread_of_core(int core)
Changed cpu_thread_to_core() to cpu_core_index_of_thread(int cpu)

The goal is to make 'threads_per_core' accessible to the
pseries_energy module.  Instead of making an API to read
threads_per_core, this is a higher level wrapper function to
convert from logical cpu number to core number.

The current APIs cpu_first_thread_in_core() and
cpu_last_thread_in_core() returns logical CPU number while
cpu_thread_to_core() returns core number or index which is
not a logical CPU number.  The new APIs are now clearly named to
distinguish 'core number' versus first and last 'logical cpu
number' in that core.

The new APIs cpu_{first,last}_thread_sibling() work on
logical cpu numbers.  While cpu_first_thread_of_core() and
cpu_core_index_of_thread() work on core index.

Example usage:  (4 threads per core system)

cpu_first_thread_sibling(5) = 4
cpu_last_thread_sibling(5) = 7
cpu_core_index_of_thread(5) = 1
cpu_first_thread_of_core(1) = 4

cpu_core_index_of_thread() is used in cpu_to_drc_index() in the
module and cpu_first_thread_of_core() is used in
drc_index_to_cpu() in the module.

Make API changes to few callers.  Export symbols for use in modules.

Currently, when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is enabled, we use the
PURR register for measuring the user and system time used by
processes, as well as other related times such as hardirq and
softirq times.  This turns out to be quite confusing for users
because it means that a program will often be measured as taking
less time when run on a multi-threaded processor (SMT2 or SMT4 mode)
than it does when run on a single-threaded processor (ST mode), even
though the program takes longer to finish.  The discrepancy is
accounted for as stolen time, which is also confusing, particularly
when there are no other partitions running.

This changes the accounting to use the timebase instead, meaning that
the reported user and system times are the actual number of real-time
seconds that the program was executing on the processor thread,
regardless of which SMT mode the processor is in.  Thus a program will
generally show greater user and system times when run on a
multi-threaded processor than on a single-threaded processor.

On pSeries systems on POWER5 or later processors, we measure the
stolen time (time when this partition wasn't running) using the
hypervisor dispatch trace log.  We check for new entries in the
log on every entry from user mode and on every transition from
kernel process context to soft or hard IRQ context (i.e. when
account_system_vtime() gets called).  So that we can correctly
distinguish time stolen from user time and time stolen from system
time, without having to check the log on every exit to user mode,
we store separate timestamps for exit to user mode and entry from
user mode.

On systems that have a SPURR (POWER6 and POWER7), we read the SPURR
in account_system_vtime() (as before), and then apportion the SPURR
ticks since the last time we read it between scaled user time and
scaled system time according to the relative proportions of user
time and system time over the same interval.  This avoids having to
read the SPURR on every kernel entry and exit.  On systems that have
PURR but not SPURR (i.e., POWER5), we do the same using the PURR
rather than the SPURR.

This disables the DTL user interface in /sys/debug/kernel/powerpc/dtl
for now since it conflicts with the use of the dispatch trace log
by the time accounting code.

Time time taken for a single cpu online operation on a pseries machine
is as follows:
Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): ~220ms.
Shared LPAR (POWER5)   : ~240ms.

Of this time, approximately 200ms is taken up by __cpu_up(). This is because
we poll every 200ms to check if the new cpu has notified it's presence
through the cpu_callin_map. We repeat this operation until the new cpu sets
the value in cpu_callin_map or 5 seconds elapse, whichever comes earlier.

However, using completion_structs instead of polling loops,
the time taken by the new processor to indicate it's presence has
found to be less than 1ms on pseries. This method however may not
work on all powerpc platforms due to the time-base synchronization code.

Keeping this in mind, we could reduce msleep polling interval from
200ms to 1ms while retaining the 5 second timeout.

With this, the time taken for a cpu online operation changes as follows:
Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): 20-25ms.
Shared LPAR (POWER5)   : 60-80ms.

In both these cases, it was found that the code polls through the loop
only once indicating that 1ms is a reasonable value, atleast on pseries.

The code needs testing on other powerpc platforms.

1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky

This fixes a regression reported by Kamalesh Bulabel where a POWER4
machine would crash because of an SLB miss at a point where the SLB
miss exception was unrecoverable.  This regression is tracked at:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10082

SLB misses at such points shouldn't happen because the kernel stack is
the only memory accessed other than things in the first segment of the
linear mapping (which is mapped at all times by entry 0 of the SLB).
The context switch code ensures that SLB entry 2 covers the kernel
stack, if it is not already covered by entry 0.  None of entries 0
to 2 are ever replaced by the SLB miss handler.

Where this went wrong is that the context switch code assumes it
doesn't have to write to SLB entry 2 if the new kernel stack is in the
same segment as the old kernel stack, since entry 2 should already be
correct.  However, when we start up a secondary cpu, it calls
slb_initialize, which doesn't set up entry 2.  This is correct for
the boot cpu, where we will be using a stack in the kernel BSS at this
point (i.e. init_thread_union), but not necessarily for secondary
cpus, whose initial stack can be allocated anywhere.  This doesn't
cause any immediate problem since the SLB miss handler will just
create an SLB entry somewhere else to cover the initial stack.

In fact it's possible for the cpu to go quite a long time without SLB
entry 2 being valid.  Eventually, though, the entry created by the SLB
miss handler will get overwritten by some other entry, and if the next
access to the stack is at an unrecoverable point, we get the crash.

This fixes the problem by making slb_initialize create a suitable
entry for the kernel stack, if we are on a secondary cpu and the stack
isn't covered by SLB entry 0.  This requires initializing the
get_paca()->kstack field earlier, so I do that in smp_create_idle
where the current field is initialized.  This also abstracts a bit of
the computation that mk_esid_data in slb.c does so that it can be used
in slb_initialize.

smp_send_stop() will send an IPI to all other cpus to shut them down.
However, for the case of xmon-based reboots (as well as potentially some
panics), the other cpus are (or might be) spinning with interrupts off,
and won't take the IPI.

Current code will drop us into the debugger when the IPI fails, which
means we're in an infinite loop that we can't get out of without an
external reset of some sort.

Instead, make the smp_send_stop() IPI call path just print the warning
about being unable to send IPIs, but make it return so the rest of the
shutdown sequence can continue. It's not perfect, but the lesser of
two evils.

Also move the call_lock handling outside of smp_call_function_map so we
can avoid deadlocks in smp_send_stop().
