When replaying interrupts (as a result of the interrupt occurring
while soft-disabled), in the case of the decrementer, we are exclusively
testing for a pending timer target. However we also use decrementer
interrupts to trigger the new "irq_work", which in this case would
be missed.

This change the logic to force a replay in both cases of a timer
boundary reached and a decrementer interrupt having actually occurred
while disabled. The former test is still useful to catch cases where
a CPU having been hard-disabled for a long time completely misses the
interrupt due to a decrementer rollover.

This patch adds a new line to /proc/interrupts to account for the
doorbell interrupts that each hardware thread has received. The total
interrupt count in /proc/stat will now also include doorbells.

<title>powerpc: Add code to handle soft-disabled doorbells on server</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds the logic to properly handle doorbells that come in when
interrupts have been soft disabled and to replay them when interrupts
are re-enabled:

- masked_##_H##interrupt is modified to leave interrupts enabled when a
  doorbell has come in since doorbells are edge sensitive and as such
  won't be automatically re-raised.

- __check_irq_replay now tests if a doorbell happened on book3s, and
  returns either 0xe80 or 0xa00 depending on whether we are the
  hypervisor or not.

- restore_check_irq_replay now tests for the two possible server
  doorbell vector numbers to replay.

- __replay_interrupt also adds tests for the two server doorbell vector
  numbers, and is modified to use a compare instruction rather than an
  andi. on the single bit difference between 0x500 and 0x900.

The last two use a CPU feature section to avoid needlessly testing
against the hypervisor vector if it is not the hypervisor, and vice
versa.

There are a few tracepoints in the interrupt code path, which is before
irq_enter(), or after irq_exit(), like
trace_irq_entry()/trace_irq_exit() in do_IRQ(),
trace_timer_interrupt_entry()/trace_timer_interrupt_exit() in
timer_interrupt().

If the interrupt is from idle(), and because tracepoint contains RCU
read-side critical section, we could see following suspicious RCU usage
reported:

This is because the RCU usage in interrupt context should be used in

Move them into the irq_enter()/irq_exit() area to avoid the reporting.

There was a typo, checking for CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAG instead of
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS causing some useful debug code to not be
built

This in turns causes a build error on BookE 64-bit due to incorrect
semicolons at the end of a couple of macros, so let's fix that too

<title>powerpc: More fixes for lazy IRQ vs. idle</title>

<id>be2cf20a5ad31ebb13562c1c866ecc626fbd721e</id>
<content type='text'>
Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code
vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream
are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which
this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead).

We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that
has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set
all the SW &amp; lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before
we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with
MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause
things to go very wrong later on.

This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the
pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got
things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7
"bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T
and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable
code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them
when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers
about how the low power state actually works on them.

As I was adding code that affects all archs, I started testing function
tracer against PPC64 and found that it currently locks up with 3.4
kernel. I figured it was due to tracing a function that shouldn't be, so
I went through the following process to bisect to find the culprit:

 cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions &gt; t
 num=`wc -l t`
 sed -ne "1,${num}p" t &gt; t1
 let num=num+1
 sed -ne "${num},$p" t &gt; t2
 cat t1 &gt; /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
 echo function /debug/tracing/current_tracer
 &lt;failed? bisect t1, if not bisect t2&gt;

It finally came down to this function: restore_interrupts()

I'm not sure why this locks up the system. It just seems to prevent
scheduling from occurring. Interrupts seem to still work, as I can ping
the box. But all user processes freeze.

When restore_interrupts() is not traced, function tracing works fine.

setting CONFIG_IRQ_ALL_CPUS distributes IRQs to CPUs only when
the number of online CPUs equals NR_CPUS.  See commit
280ff97494e0fef4124bee5c52e39b23a18dd283 "sparc64: fix and
optimize irq distribution" for more details.

Using the online mask fixes IRQ-to-CPU distribution on systems
that boot with less than NR_CPUS.

<title>powerpc/irq: Fix another case of lazy IRQ state getting out of sync</title>

So we have another case of paca-&gt;irq_happened getting out of
sync with the HW irq state. This can happen when a perfmon
interrupt occurs while soft disabled, as it will return to a
soft disabled but hard enabled context while leaving a stale
PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS flag set.

This patch fixes it, and also adds a test for the condition
of those flags being out of sync in arch_local_irq_restore()
when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled.

This helps catching those gremlins faster (and so far I
can't seem see any anymore, so that's good news).

We had a case where we could turn on hard interrupts while
leaving the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS bit set in the PACA. This can
in turn cause a BUG_ON() to hit in __check_irq_replay() due
to interrupt state getting out of sync.

The assembly code was also way too convoluted. Instead, we
now leave it to the C code to do the right thing which ends
up being smaller and more readable.
