187818cd6a sparc64: Improvde documentation and readability of atomic backoff code.
Document what's going on in asm/backoff.h with a large and descriptive
comment.  Refer to it above the cpu_relax() definition in
asm/processor_64.h

Rename the pause patching section to have "3insn" in it's name like
the other patching sections do.

Based upon feedback from Sam Ravnborg.

e9b9eb59ff sparc64: Use pause instruction when available.
In atomic backoff and cpu_relax(), use the pause instruction
found on SPARC-T4 and later.

It makes the cpu strand unselectable for the given number of
cycles, unless an intervening disrupting trap occurs.

6f859c0e96 sparc64: Add detection for features new in SPARC-T4.
Compare and branch, pause, and the various new cryptographic opcodes.

We advertise the crypto opcodes to userspace using one hwcap bit,
HWCAP_SPARC_CRYPTO.

This essentially indicates that the %cfr register can be interrograted
and used to determine exactly which crypto opcodes are available on
the current cpu.

We use the %cfr register to report all of the crypto opcodes available
in the bootup CPU caps log message, and via /proc/cpuinfo.

0b64120cce sparc64: Patch sun4v code sequences properly on module load.
Some of the sun4v code patching occurs in inline functions visible
to, and usable by, modules.

Therefore we have to patch them up during module load.

11032c17bd sparc: Make '-p' boot option meaningful again.
If "-p" is given on the command line, clear the CON_BOOT
flag for the initial early boot PROM console.

This is necessary to try and see crash messages that occur
between the registry of the VT console and the probing of
the first framebuffer or serial console.  During this time
no console messages are emitted because the VT console
registry (even if no backend is registered to it) removes
the early console if CON_BOOT is set.

08cefa9fa7 sparc64: Future proof Niagara cpu detection.
Recognize T4 and T5 chips.  Treating them both as "T2 plus other

when those chips actually ship to customers.

ac85fe8b21 sparc: Sanitize cpu feature detection and reporting.
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.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

09d3f3f0e0 sparc: Kill PROM console driver.
Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
in any situation.

Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.

If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
so there are no excuses.

NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!

Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.
