4edd7ceff0 mm, hotplug: avoid compiling memory hotremove functions when disabled
__remove_pages() is only necessary for CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.  PowerPC
pseries will return -EOPNOTSUPP if unsupported.

Adding an #ifdef causes several other functions it depends on to also
become unnecessary, which saves in .text when disabled (it's disabled in
most defconfigs besides powerpc, including x86).  remove_memory_block()
becomes static since it is not referenced outside of
drivers/base/memory.c.

Build tested on x86 and powerpc with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE both enabled
and disabled.

Just like the OHCI counter part we just can remove the architecture
specific symbols which prevent these configuration symbols from being
selected by platforms/architectures requiring it. The original
implementation did not scale at all since it required each and every

selected. Now it is up to the EHCI driver and/or platform to select
these configuration symbols accordingly.

9fb2640159 powerpc: pSeries_lpar_hpte_remove fails from Adjunct partition being performed before the ANDCOND test
Some versions of pHyp will perform the adjunct partition test before the
ANDCOND test.  The result of this is that H_RESOURCE can be returned and
cause the BUG_ON condition to occur. The HPTE is not removed.  So add a
check for H_RESOURCE, it is ok if this HPTE is not removed as
pSeries_lpar_hpte_remove is looking for an HPTE to remove and not a
specific HPTE to remove.  So it is ok to just move on to the next slot
and try again.

b43a7ffbf3 cpufreq: Notify all policy->cpus in cpufreq_notify_transition()
policy->cpus contains all online cpus that have single shared clock line. And
their frequencies are always updated together.

Many SMP system's cpufreq drivers take care of this in individual drivers but
the best place for this code is in cpufreq core.

This patch modifies cpufreq_notify_transition() to notify frequency change for
all cpus in policy->cpus and hence updates all users of this API.

7f78e03513 fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.
Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

 "So from the depth of frozen Minnesota, here's the powerpc pull request
  for 3.9.  It has a few interesting highlights, in addition to the
  usual bunch of bug fixes, minor updates, embedded device tree updates
  and new boards:

   - Hand tuned asm implementation of SHA1 (by Paulus & Michael
     Ellerman)

   - Support for Doorbell interrupts on Power8 (kind of fast
     thread-thread IPIs) by Ian Munsie

   - Long overdue cleanup of the way we handle relocation of our open
     firmware trampoline (prom_init.c) on 64-bit by Anton Blanchard

   - Support for saving/restoring & context switching the PPR (Processor
     Priority Register) on server processors that support it.  This
     allows the kernel to preserve thread priorities established by
     userspace.  By Haren Myneni.

   - DAWR (new watchpoint facility) support on Power8 by Michael Neuling

   - Ability to change the DSCR (Data Stream Control Register) which
     controls cache prefetching on a running process via ptrace by
     Alexey Kardashevskiy

   - Support for context switching the TAR register on Power8 (new
     branch target register meant to be used by some new specific
     userspace perf event interrupt facility which is yet to be enabled)
     by Ian Munsie.

   - Improve preservation of the CFAR register (which captures the
     origin of a branch) on various exception conditions by Paulus.

   - Move the Bestcomm DMA driver from arch powerpc to drivers/dma where
     it belongs by Philippe De Muyter

   - Support for Transactional Memory on Power8 by Michael Neuling
     (based on original work by Matt Evans).  For those curious about
     the feature, the patch contains a pretty good description."

14b6f00f8a pseries/iommu: Remove DDW on kexec
pseries/iommu: remove DDW on kexec

We currently insert a property in the device-tree when we successfully
configure DDW for a given slot. This was meant to be an optimization to
speed up kexec/kdump, so that we don't need to make the RTAS calls again
to re-configured DDW in the new kernel.

However, we end up tripping a plpar_tce_stuff failure on kexec/kdump
because we unconditionally parse the ibm,dma-window property for the
node at bus/dev setup time. This property contains the 32-bit DMA window
LIOBN, which is distinct from the DDW window's. We pass that LIOBN (via
iommu_table_init -> iommu_table_clear -> tce_free ->
tce_freemulti_pSeriesLP) to plpar_tce_stuff, which fails because that
32-bit window is no longer present after
25ebc45b93 ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: remove
default window before attempting DDW manipulation").

I believe the simplest, easiest-to-maintain fix is to just change our
initcall to, rather than detecting and updating the new kernel's DDW
knowledge, just remove all DDW configurations. When the drivers
re-initialize, we will set everything back up as it was before.

71cf1def1a pseries/iommu: Ensure TCEs are cleared with non-huge DDW
There are now two kinds of DMA windows that might be presented by
PowerVM DDW support -- huge windows (that can map all of system memory
regardless of the LPAR configuration) and non-huge windows (which
can't). They are implemented slightly differently in PowerVM, and thus
have different characteristics. The most obvious is that slot isolate
doesn't clear the TCEs/window for us with non-huge windows. Thus, when a
DLPAR operation occurs on a slot using a non-huge window, TCEs are still
present (the notifier chain doesn't currently remove them explicitly)
and the DLPAR fails. Fix this by calling remove_ddw() first, which will
unmap the DDW TCEs.

Note: a corresponding change to drmgr is needed to actually successfully
DLPAR, such that the device-tree update (which causes the notifier chain
to fire) occurs before slot isolate.

5611fe48c5 powerpc: Add support for CTS-1000 GPIO controlled system poweroff
CTS-1000 is based on P4080. GPIO 27 is used to signal the FPGA to
switch off power, and also associates IRQ 8 with front-panel button
press (which we use to call orderly_poweroff()).

The relevant device-tree looks like this:

	gpio0: gpio@130000 {
		compatible = "fsl,qoriq-gpio";
		reg = <0x130000 0x1000>;
		interrupts = <55 2 0 0>;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
		gpio-controller;

		/* Allows powering off the system via GPIO signal. */
		gpio-halt@27 {
			compatible = "sgy,gpio-halt";
			gpios = <&gpio0 27 0>;
			interrupts = <8 1 0 0>;
		};
	};

Because the driver cannot match on sgy,gpio-halt (because the node is never
processed through of_platform), it matches on fsl,qoriq-gpio and then
checks child nodes for the matching sgy,gpio-halt. This also ensures that
the GPIO controller is detected prior to sgy_cts1000's probe callback,
since that node wont match via of_platform until the controller is
registered.

Also, because the GPIO handler for triggering system poweroff might sleep,
the IRQ uses a workqueue to call orderly_poweroff().

As a final note, this driver may be expanded for other features specific to
the CTS-1000.

72640d8803 powerpc/pasemi: Fix crash on reboot
commit f96972f2dc "kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in
kernel_restart()"

added a call to disable_nonboot_cpus() on kernel_restart(), which tries
to shutdown all the CPUs except the first one. The issue with the PA
Semi, is that it does not support CPU hotplug.

When the call is made to __cpu_down(), it calls the notifiers
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, and then tries to take the CPU down.

One of the notifiers to the CPU hotplug code, is the cpufreq. The
DOWN_PREPARE will call __cpufreq_remove_dev() which calls
cpufreq_driver->exit. The PA Semi exit handler unmaps regions of I/O
that is used by an interrupt that goes off constantly
(system_reset_common, but it goes off during normal system operations
too). I'm not sure exactly what this interrupt does.

Running a simple function trace, you can see it goes off quite a bit:

# tracer: function
#
#           TASK-PID    CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
#              | |       |          |         |

          <idle>-0     [000]  1558.861437: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception

When the region is unmapped, the system crashes with:

abf917cd91 cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accounting
If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
able to account the cputime without using the tick.

Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
hooking into kernel/user boundaries.

However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
outside idle.

This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.

There are some upsides of doing this:

- This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
tickless mode).

- We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
(de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.

And one downside:

- There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.
