powerpc: Change CONFIG_E500 to CONFIG_PPC_E500

It will be used outside arch/powerpc, make it clear its a
powerpc configuration item.

And we already have CONFIG_PPC_E500MC, so that will make
it more consistent.

powerpc/64s: Add cp_abort after tlbiel to invalidate copy-buffer address

The copy buffer is implemented as a real address in the nest which is
translated from EA by copy, and used for memory access by paste. This
requires that it be invalidated by TLB invalidation.

TLBIE does invalidate the copy buffer, but TLBIEL does not. Add
cp_abort to the tlbiel sequence.

powerpc/64: Fix smp_wmb barrier definition use use lwsync consistently

asm/barrier.h is not always included after asm/synch.h, which meant
it was missing __SUBARCH_HAS_LWSYNC, so in some files smp_wmb() would
be eieio when it should be lwsync. kernel/time/hrtimer.c is one case.

__SUBARCH_HAS_LWSYNC is only used in one place, so just fold it in
to where it's used. Previously with my small simulator config, 377
instances of eieio in the tree. After this patch there are 55.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

powerpc: Make value-returning atomics fully ordered

According to memory-barriers.txt:

> Any atomic operation that modifies some state in memory and returns
> information about the state (old or new) implies an SMP-conditional
> general memory barrier (smp_mb()) on each side of the actual
> operation ...

Which mean these operations should be fully ordered. However on PPC,
PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER is the barrier before the actual operation,
which is currently "lwsync" if SMP=y. The leading "lwsync" can not
guarantee fully ordered atomics, according to Paul Mckenney:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/14/970

To fix this, we define PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER as "sync" to guarantee
the fully-ordered semantics.

This also makes futex atomics fully ordered, which can avoid possible
memory ordering problems if userspace code relies on futex system call
for fully ordered semantics.

# b97021f8 15-Nov-2011 Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semantics

The Documentation/memory-barriers.txt document requires that atomic
operations that return a value act as a memory barrier both before
and after the actual atomic operation.

Our current implementation doesn't guarantee this. More specifically,
while a load following the isync can not be issued before stwcx. has
completed, that completion doesn't architecturally means that the
result of stwcx. is visible to other processors (or any previous stores
for that matter) (typically, the other processors L1 caches can still
hold the old value).

This has caused an actual crash in RCU torture testing on Power 7

This fixes it by changing those atomic ops to use new macros instead
of RELEASE/ACQUIRE barriers, called ATOMIC_ENTRY and ATMOIC_EXIT barriers,
which are then defined respectively to lwsync and sync.

I haven't had a chance to measure the performance impact (or rather
what I measured with kernel compiles is in the noise, I yet have to
find a more precise benchmark)

powerpc: Copy down exception vectors after feature fixups

kdump fails because we try to execute an HV only instruction. Feature
fixups are being applied after we copy the exception vectors down to 0
so they miss out on any updates.

We have always had this issue but it only became critical in v3.0
when we added CFAR support (breaks POWER5) and v3.1 when we added
POWERNV (breaks everyone).

powerpc: Use lwsync for acquire barrier if CPU supports it

Nick Piggin discovered that lwsync barriers around locks were faster than isync
on 970. That was a long time ago and I completely dropped the ball in testing
his patches across other ppc64 processors.

Turns out the idea helps on other chips. Using a microbenchmark that
uses a lot of threads to contend on a global pthread mutex (and therefore a
global futex), POWER6 improves 8% and POWER7 improves 2%. I checked POWER5
and while I couldn't measure an improvement, there was no regression.

This patch uses the lwsync patching code to replace the isyncs with lwsyncs
on CPUs that support the instruction. We were marking POWER3 and RS64 as lwsync
capable but in reality they treat it as a full sync (ie slow). Remove the
CPU_FTR_LWSYNC bit from these CPUs so they continue to use the faster isync
method.
