[ Upstream commit 9076d0e7e02b98f7a65df10d1956326c8d8ba61a ]

On sun4v this is basically required since we point the hypervisor and
the TSB walking hardware at these tables using physical addressing
too.

[ Upstream commit ac85fe8b21248054851e05bfaa352562e5b06dd3 ]

Instead of evaluating the cpu features for ELF_HWCAP every exec,
calculate it once at boot time.

Add AV_SPARC_* capability flag bits, compatible with what Solaris
reports to applications.

Report these capabilities once in the kernel log, and also via
/proc/cpuinfo in a new "cpucaps" entry.

If available, fetch the cpu features from the machine description
'hwcap-list' property of the 'cpu' node.

<title>sparc: Detect and handle UltraSPARC-T3 cpu types.</title>

[ Upstream commit 4ba991d3eb379fbaa22049e7002341e97a673685 ]

The cpu compatible string we look for is "SPARC-T3".

As far as memset/memcpy optimizations go, we treat this chip the same
as Niagara-T2/T2+.  Use cache initializing stores for memset, and use
perfetch, FPU block loads, cache initializing stores, and block stores
for copies.

We use the Niagara-T2 perf support, since T3 is a close relative in
this regard.  Later we'll add support for the new events T3 can
report, plus enable T3's new "sample" mode.

For now I haven't added any new ELF hwcap flags.  We probably need
to add a couple, for example:

T2 and T3 both support the population count instruction in hardware.

T3 supports VIS3 instructions, including support (finally) for
partitioned shift.  One can also now move directly between float
and integer registers.

T3 supports instructions meant to help with Galois Field and other HPC
calculations, such as XOR multiply.  Also there are "OP and negate"
instructions, for example "fnmul" which is multiply-and-negate.

T3 recognizes the transactional memory opcodes, however since
transactional memory isn't supported: 1) 'commit' behaves as a NOP and
2) 'chkpt' always branches 3) 'rdcps' returns all zeros and 4) 'wrcps'
behaves as a NOP.

So we'll need about 3 new elf capability flags in the end to represent
all of these things.

introduced a compile regression on sparc.

kgdbts.c: In function 'check_and_rewind_pc':

Simply add the correct macro definition for instruction pointer on the
Sparc architecture.

Do not trace arch_local_save_flags(), arch_local_irq_*() and friends.
Although they are marked inline, gcc may still make a function out of
them and add it to the pool of functions that are traced by the function
tracer. This can cause undesirable results (kernel panic, triple faults,
etc).

Add the notrace notation to prevent them from ever being traced.
