None of these files use any of the functionality promised by
asm/semaphore.h.  It's possible that they rely on it dragging in some
unrelated header file, but I can't build all these files, so we'll have
fix any build failures as they come up.

This reverts commit a2b51812a4dc5db09ab4d4638d4d8ed456e2457e.

It turns out that this change caused some machines to fail to come
back up when being rebooted, and generated an error in the hypervisor
error log on some machines.  The platform architecture (PAPR) is a
little unclear on exactly when the RTAS ibm,os-term function should be
called.  Until that is clarified I'm reverting this commit.

The rtas_os_term() routine was being called at the wrong time.
The actual rtas call "os-term" will not ever return, and so
calling it from the panic notifier is too early.  Instead,
call it from the machine_reset() call.

This splits the rtas_os_term() routine into two: one part to capture
the kernel panic message, invoked during the panic notifier, and
another part that is invoked during machine_reset().

Prior to this patch, the os-term call was never being made,
because panic_timeout was always non-zero.  Calling os-term
helps keep the hypervisor happy!  We have to keep the hypervisor
happy to avoid service, dump and error reporting problems.

<title>[POWERPC] Fix multiple bugs in rtas_ibm_suspend_me code</title>
<updated>2007-11-19T04:11:30+00:00</updated>

<id>8f5c7579caba587a72ed91c7d76028efb8adb168</id>
<content type='text'>
There are several issues with the rtas_ibm_suspend_me code, which
enables platform-assisted suspension of an LPAR as covered in PAPR
2.2.

1.) rtas_ibm_suspend_me uses on_each_cpu() to invoke
rtas_percpu_suspend_me on all cpus via IPI:

if (on_each_cpu(rtas_percpu_suspend_me, &amp;data, 1, 0))
...

'data' is on the calling task's stack, but rtas_ibm_suspend_me takes
no measures to ensure that all instances of rtas_percpu_suspend_me are
finished accessing 'data' before returning.  This can result in the
IPI'd cpus accessing random stack data and getting stuck in H_JOIN.

This is addressed by using an atomic count of workers and a completion
on the stack.

2.) rtas_percpu_suspend_me is needlessly calling H_JOIN in a loop.
The only event that can cause a cpu to return from H_JOIN is an H_PROD
from another cpu or a NMI/system reset.  Each cpu need call H_JOIN
only once per suspend operation.

Remove the loop and the now unnecessary 'waiting' state variable.

3.) H_JOIN must be called with MSR[EE] off, but lazy interrupt
disabling may cause the caller of rtas_ibm_suspend_me to call H_JOIN
with it on; the local_irq_disable() in on_each_cpu() is not
sufficient.

Fix this by explicitly saving the MSR and clearing the EE bit before
calling H_JOIN.

4.) H_PROD is being called with the Linux logical cpu number as the
parameter, not the platform interrupt server value.  (It's also being
called for all possible cpus, which is harmless, but unnecessary.)

This is fixed by calling H_PROD for each online cpu using
get_hard_smp_processor_id(cpu) for the argument.
