taskstats scaled time cleanup

This moves the ability to scale cputime into generic code. This allows us
to fix the issue in kernel/timer.c (noticed by Balbir) where we could only
add an unscaled value to the scaled utime/stime.

This adds a cputime_to_scaled function. As before, the POWERPC version
does the scaling based on the last SPURR/PURR ratio calculated. The
generic and s390 (only other arch to implement asm/cputime.h) versions are
both NOPs.

Also moves the SPURR and PURR snapshots closer.

These hooks ensure that a decrementer interrupt is not pending when
suspending; otherwise, problems may occur on 6xx/7xx/7xxx-based

For example, with deep sleep on the 831x, a pending decrementer will
cause a system freeze because the SoC thinks the decrementer interrupt
would have woken the system, but the core must have interrupts
disabled due to the setup required for deep sleep.

[POWERPC] Optimize account_system_vtime

We have multiple calls to has_feature being inlined, but gcc can't
be sure that the store via get_paca() doesn't alias the path to
cur_cpu_spec->feature.

Reorder to put the calls to read_purr and read_spurr adjacent to each
other. To add a sense of consistency, reorder the remaining lines to
perform parallel steps on purr and scaled purr of each line instead of
calculating and then using one value before going on to the next.

In addition, we can tell gcc that no SPURR means no PURR. The test is
completely hidden in the PURR case, and in the !PURR case the second test
is eliminated resulting in the simple register copy in the out-of-line
branch.

Further, gcc sees get_paca()->system_time referenced several times and
allocates a register to address it (shadowing r13) instead of caching its
value. Reading into a local varable saves the shadow of r13 and removes
a potentially duplicate load (between the nested if and its parent).

sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpc

Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the
deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been
broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in
timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times().

This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times
that updates utime and stime into a separate function called
account_process_tick. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined,
there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that
simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before. If
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to
implement account_process_tick.

This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390
timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a
suitable account_process_tick().

account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument.
Tested both with and without CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.

[POWERPC] Fix off-by-one error in setting decrementer on Book E/4xx (v2)

The decrementer in Book E and 4xx processors interrupts on the
transition from 1 to 0, rather than on the 0 to -1 transition

[POWERPC] Fix off-by-one error in setting decrementer on Book E/4xx (v2)

The decrementer in Book E and 4xx processors interrupts on the
transition from 1 to 0, rather than on the 0 to -1 transition as on
64-bit server and 32-bit "classic" (6xx/7xx/7xxx) processors. At the
moment we subtract 1 from the count of how many decrementer ticks are
required before the next interrupt before putting it into the
decrementer, which is correct for server/classic processors, but could
possibly cause the interrupt to happen too early on Book E and 4xx if
the timebase/decrementer frequency is low.

This fixes the problem by making set_dec subtract 1 from the count for
server and classic processors, instead of having the callers subtract
1. Since set_dec already had a bunch of ifdefs to handle different
processor types, there is no net increase in ugliness. :)

Note that calling set_dec(0) may not generate an interrupt on some
processors. To make sure that decrementer_set_next_event always calls
set_dec with an interval of at least 1 tick, we set min_delta_ns of
the decrementer_clockevent to correspond to 2 ticks (2 rather than 1
to compensate for truncations in the conversions between ticks and
ns).

This also removes a redundant call to set the decrementer to
0x7fffffff - it was already set to that earlier in timer_interrupt.

powerpc: add scaled time accounting

This adds POWERPC specific hooks for scaled time accounting.

POWER6 includes a SPURR register. The SPURR is based off the PURR register
but is scaled based on CPU frequency and issue rates. This gives a more
accurate account of the instructions used per task. The PURR and timebase
will be constant relative to the wall clock, irrespective of the CPU
frequency.

This implementation reads the SPURR register in account_system_vtime which
is only call called on context witch and hard and soft irq entry and exit.
The percentage of user and system time is then estimated using the ratio of
these accounted by the PURR. If the SPURR is not present, the PURR read.

An earlier implementation of this patch read the SPURR whenever the PURR
was read, which included the system call entry and exit path.
Unfortunately this showed a performance regression on lmbench runs, so was
re-implemented.

I've included the lmbench results here when run bare metal on POWER6. 1st
column is the unpatch results. 2nd column is the results using the below
patch and the 3rd is the % diff of these results from the base. 4th and

[POWERPC] Make clockevents work on PPC601 processors

In testing the new clocksource and clockevent code on a PPC601
processor, I discovered that the clockevent multiplier value for the
decrementer clockevent was overflowing. Because the RTCL register in
the 601 effectively counts at 1GHz (it doesn't actually, but it
increases by 128 every 128ns), and the shift value was 32, that meant
the multiplier value had to be 2^32, which won't fit in an unsigned
long on 32-bit. The same problem would arise on any platform where
the timebase frequency was 1GHz or more (not that we actually have any
such machines today).

This fixes it by reducing the shift value to 16. Doing the
calculations with a resolution of 2^-16 nanoseconds (15 femtoseconds)
should be quite adequate. :)

[POWERPC] Prevent decrementer clockevents from firing early

On old powermacs, we sometimes set the decrementer to 1 in order to
trigger a decrementer interrupt, which we use to handle an interrupt
that was pending at the time when it was re-enabled. This was causing
the decrementer clock event device to call the event function for the
next event early, which was causing problems when high-res timers were
not enabled.

This fixes the problem by recording the timebase value at which the
next event should occur, and checking the current timebase against the
recorded value in timer_interrupt. If it isn't time for the next
event, it just reprograms the decrementer and returns.

This also subtracts 1 from the value stored into the decrementer,
which is appropriate because the decrementer interrupts on the
transition from 0 to -1, not when the decrementer reaches 0.

[CELL] oprofile: add support to OProfile for profiling CELL BE SPUs

From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com>

This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c
to add in the SPU profiling capabilities. In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory
was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code.
Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which
are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data
structures.

Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn). Check pointer
returned from kzalloc. Eliminated unnecessary cast. Better error
handling and cleanup in the related area. 64-bit unsigned long parameter
was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to
unsigned long.
