3484a31fce powerpc: Fix build error with CONFIG_PCI=n
Fix ppc 32 build failure as reported here:

http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/11663513/

The error is as follows:

arch/powerpc/include/asm/floppy.h:142:20: error: 'isa_bridge_pcidev' undeclared
(first use in this function)

This is happening since floppy.o is enabled by BLK_DEV_FD which depends on
ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC which is in-turn enabled if PPC_PSERIES=n.

The following commit changes the dependency so that ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC is
dependent exclusively on PCI since otherwise it will not compile.

c913e5f95e powerpc/boot: Don't install zImage.* from make install
in commit 29f1aff2c (powerpc: Copy bootable images in the default
install script) we changed to copying all the built boot targets based
on the assumption that it's backwards compatible.  It turns out that
debian devived installkernel scripts will barf if not given exactly 4
args.

This change reverts make install to just install the vmlinux (we can
change the dfault in a seperate patch) and introduces a new make
zInstall which works with a more flexible installkernel script.

85101af13b powerpc/perf: Fix ABIv2 kernel backtraces
ABIv2 kernels are failing to backtrace through the kernel. An example:

39.30%  readseek2_proce  [kernel.kallsyms]    [k] find_get_entry
            |
            --- find_get_entry
               __GI___libc_read

The problem is in valid_next_sp() where we check that the new stack
pointer is at least STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD below the previous one.

ABIv1 has a minimum stack frame size of 112 bytes consisting of 48 bytes
and 64 bytes of parameter save area. ABIv2 changes that to 32 bytes
with no paramter save area.

STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD is in theory the minimum stack frame size,
but we over 240 uses of it, some of which assume that it includes
space for the parameter area.

We need to work through all our stack defines and rationalise them
but let's fix perf now by creating STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE and using
in valid_next_sp(). This fixes the issue:

30.64%  readseek2_proce  [kernel.kallsyms]    [k] find_get_entry
            |
            --- find_get_entry
               pagecache_get_page
               generic_file_read_iter
               new_sync_read
               vfs_read

02a68d0503 powerpc/kvm/cma: Fix panic introduces by signed shift operation
fc95ca7284 introduces a memset in
kvmppc_alloc_hpt since the general CMA doesn't clear the memory it
allocates.

However, the size argument passed to memset is computed from a signed value
and its signed bit is extended by the cast the compiler is doing. This lead
to extremely large size value when dealing with order value >= 31, and
almost all the memory following the allocated space is cleaned. As a
consequence, the system is panicing and may even fail spawning the kdump
kernel.

This fix makes use of an unsigned value for the memset's size argument to
avoid sign extension. Among this fix, another shift operation which may
lead to signed extended value too is also fixed.

b41d34b46a kexec: remove CONFIG_KEXEC dependency on crypto
New system call depends on crypto.  As it did not have a separate config
option, CONFIG_KEXEC was modified to select CRYPTO and CRYPTO_SHA256.

But now previous patch introduced a new config option for new syscall.
So CONFIG_KEXEC does not require crypto.  Remove that dependency.

c04fa5831d PC, KVM, CMA: Fix regression caused by wrong get_order() use
fc95ca7284 claims that there is no
functional change but this is not true as it calls get_order() (which
takes bytes) where it should have called order_base_2() and the kernel
stops on VM_BUG_ON().

This replaces get_order() with order_base_2() (round-up version of ilog2).

 "Here are some more powerpc bits for 3.17, essentially fixes.

  The biggest series, also aimed at -stable, is from Aneesh and is the
  result of weeks and weeks of debugging to find out why the heck or THP
  implementation was occasionally triggering multi-hit errors in our
  level 1 TLB.  It ended up being a combination of issues including
  subtleties as to how we should invalidate those special 'MPSS' pages
  we use to allow the use of 16M pages inside 4K/64K "base page size"
  segments (you really have to love our MMU !)

  Another interesting one in the "OMG" category is the series from
  Michael adding memory barriers to spin_is_locked().  That's also the
  result of many days of debugging to figure out why the semaphore code
  would occasionally crash in ways that made no sense.  It ended up
  being some creative lock stacking that was defeated by the fact that
  our locks allow a load inside the locked section to be re-ordered with
  the load of the lock value itself (I'm still of two mind about whether
  to kill that once and for all by putting a heavier barrier back into
  our lock implementation...).  The fixes come with a long explanation
  in the cset comments, feel free to read it if you feel like having a
  headache today"

85c1fafd72 powerpc/mm: Use read barrier when creating real_pte
On ppc64 we support 4K hash pte with 64K page size. That requires
us to track the hash pte slot information on a per 4k basis. We do that
by storing the slot details in the second half of pte page. The pte bit
_PAGE_COMBO is used to indicate whether the second half need to be
looked while building real_pte. We need to use read memory barrier while
doing that so that load of hidx is not reordered w.r.t _PAGE_COMBO
check. On the store side we already do a lwsync in __hash_page_4K

969b7b208f powerpc/thp: Invalidate with vpn in loop
As per ISA, for 4k base page size we compare 14..65 bits of VA specified
with the entry_VA in tlb. That implies we need to make sure we do a
tlbie with all the possible 4k va we used to access the 16MB hugepage.
With 64k base page size we compare 14..57 bits of VA. Hence we cannot
ignore the lower 24 bits of va while tlbie .We also cannot tlb
invalidate a 16MB entry with just one tlbie instruction because
we don't track which va was used to instantiate the tlb entry.

fc04795575 powerpc/thp: Handle combo pages in invalidate
If we changed base page size of the segment, either via sub_page_protect
or via remap_4k_pfn, we do a demote_segment which doesn't flush the hash
table entries. We do a lazy hash page table flush for all mapped pages
in the demoted segment. This happens when we handle hash page fault for
these pages.

We use _PAGE_COMBO bit along with _PAGE_HASHPTE to indicate whether a
pte is backed by 4K hash pte. If we find _PAGE_COMBO not set on the pte,
that implies that we could possibly have older 64K hash pte entries in
the hash page table and we need to invalidate those entries.

Use _PAGE_COMBO to determine the page size with which we should
invalidate the hash table entries on unmap.

2fabf084b6 powerpc: reorder per-cpu NUMA information's initialization
There is an issue currently where NUMA information is used on powerpc
(and possibly ia64) before it has been read from the device-tree, which
leads to large slab consumption with CONFIG_SLUB and memoryless nodes.

NUMA powerpc non-boot CPU's cpu_to_node/cpu_to_mem is only accurate
after start_secondary(), similar to ia64, which is invoked via
smp_init().

Commit 6ee0578b4d ("workqueue: mark init_workqueues() as
early_initcall()") made init_workqueues() be invoked via
do_pre_smp_initcalls(), which is obviously before the secondary
processors are online.

Additionally, the following commits changed init_workqueues() to use
cpu_to_node to determine the node to use for kthread_create_on_node:

bce903809a ("workqueue: add wq_numa_tbl_len and
wq_numa_possible_cpumask[]")
f3f90ad469 ("workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to
the allowed cpumask")

Therefore, when init_workqueues() runs, it sees all CPUs as being on
Node 0. On LPARs or KVM guests where Node 0 is memoryless, this leads to
a high number of slab deactivations
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg67489.html).

Fix this by initializing the powerpc-specific CPU<->node/local memory
node mapping as early as possible, which on powerpc is
do_init_bootmem(). Currently that function initializes the mapping for
the boot CPU, but we extend it to setup the mapping for all possible
CPUs. Then, in smp_prepare_cpus(), we can correspondingly set the
per-cpu values for all possible CPUs. That ensures that before the
early_initcalls run (and really as early as possible), the per-cpu NUMA
mapping is accurate.

While testing memoryless nodes on PowerKVM guests with a fix to the
workqueue logic to use cpu_to_mem() instead of cpu_to_node(), with a
guest topology of:

available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49

"powerpc/numa: Enable CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES" and 8c27226119
"powerpc/numa: Enable USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID"). Those commits also
helped improve memory consumption with these kind of environments.

Function remove_ddw() could be called in of_reconfig_notifier and
we potentially remove the dynamic DMA window property, which invokes
of_reconfig_notifier again. Eventually, it leads to the deadlock as

The patch fixes the above issue by deferring releasing the dynamic
DMA window property while releasing the device node.

3609e09fd8 powerpc: Add POWER8 features to CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE/ALWAYS
We have been a bit slack about updating the CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE and
CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS masks. When we added POWER8, and also POWER8E we forgot
to update the ALWAYS mask. And when we added POWER8_DD1 we forgot to
update both the POSSIBLE and ALWAYS masks.

Luckily this hasn't caused any actual bugs AFAICS. Failing to update the
ALWAYS mask just forgoes a potential optimisation opportunity. Failing
to update the POSSIBLE mask for POWER8_DD1 is also OK because it only
removes a bit rather than adding any.

Regardless they should all be in both masks so as to avoid any future
bugs when the set of ALWAYS/POSSIBLE bits changes, or the masks
themselves change.

When we take full hotplug to recover from EEH errors, PCI buses

PCI buses can't be attached to IOMMU group properly, which is

When adding the PCI devices of the newly created PCI buses to
the system, the IOMMU group is expected to be added in (C).
(A) fails to bind the IOMMU group because bus->is_added is
false. (B) fails because the device doesn't have binding IOMMU

pdev->is_added is set to true at (D).

group is expected to be bound in (B). (A) should fail as the
sysfs entries aren't populated.

The patch fixes the issue by reverting commit 3f28c5a and remove
WARN_ON() in iommu_add_device() to allow calling the function
even the specified device already has associated IOMMU group.

78e05b1421 powerpc: Add smp_mb()s to arch_spin_unlock_wait()
Similar to the previous commit which described why we need to add a
barrier to arch_spin_is_locked(), we have a similar problem with
spin_unlock_wait().

We need a barrier on entry to ensure any spinlock we have previously
taken is visibly locked prior to the load of lock->slock.

It's also not clear if spin_unlock_wait() is intended to have ACQUIRE
semantics. For now be conservative and add a barrier on exit to give it
ACQUIRE semantics.

51d7d5205d powerpc: Add smp_mb() to arch_spin_is_locked()
The kernel defines the function spin_is_locked(), which can be used to
check if a spinlock is currently locked.

Using spin_is_locked() on a lock you don't hold is obviously racy. That
is, even though you may observe that the lock is unlocked, it may become
locked at any time.

There is (at least) one exception to that, which is if two locks are
used as a pair, and the holder of each checks the status of the other
before doing any update.

Assuming *A and *B are two locks, and *COUNTER is a shared non-atomic
value:

The first CPU does:

	spin_lock(*A)

	if spin_is_locked(*B)
		# nothing
	else
		smp_mb()
		LOAD r = *COUNTER
		r++
		STORE *COUNTER = r

	spin_unlock(*A)

And the second CPU does:

	spin_lock(*B)

	if spin_is_locked(*A)
		# nothing
	else
		smp_mb()
		LOAD r = *COUNTER
		r++
		STORE *COUNTER = r

	spin_unlock(*B)

Although this is a strange locking construct, it should work.

It seems to be understood, but not documented, that spin_is_locked() is
not a memory barrier, so in the examples above and below the caller
inserts its own memory barrier before acting on the result of
spin_is_locked().

For now we assume spin_is_locked() is implemented as below, and we break
it out in our examples:

	bool spin_is_locked(*LOCK) {
		LOAD l = *LOCK
		return l.locked
	}

Our intuition is that there should be no problem even if the two code
sequences run simultaneously such as:

	CPU 0			CPU 1
	==================================================
	spin_lock(*A)		spin_lock(*B)
	LOAD b = *B		LOAD a = *A
	if b.locked # true	if a.locked # true
	# nothing		# nothing
	spin_unlock(*A)		spin_unlock(*B)

If one CPU gets the lock before the other then it will do the update and
the other CPU will back off:

	CPU 0			CPU 1
	==================================================
	spin_lock(*A)
	LOAD b = *B
				spin_lock(*B)
	if b.locked # false	LOAD a = *A
	else			if a.locked # true
	smp_mb()		# nothing
	LOAD r1 = *COUNTER	spin_unlock(*B)
	r1++
	STORE *COUNTER = r1
	spin_unlock(*A)

However in reality spin_lock() itself is not indivisible. On powerpc we
implement it as a load-and-reserve and store-conditional.

Ignoring the retry logic for the lost reservation case, it boils down to:
	spin_lock(*LOCK) {
		LOAD l = *LOCK
		l.locked = true
		STORE *LOCK = l
		ACQUIRE_BARRIER
	}

The ACQUIRE_BARRIER is required to give spin_lock() ACQUIRE semantics as
defined in memory-barriers.txt:

     This acts as a one-way permeable barrier.  It guarantees that all
     memory operations after the ACQUIRE operation will appear to happen
     after the ACQUIRE operation with respect to the other components of
     the system.

On modern powerpc systems we use lwsync for ACQUIRE_BARRIER. lwsync is
also know as "lightweight sync", or "sync 1".

As described in Power ISA v2.07 section B.2.1.1, in this scenario the
lwsync is not the barrier itself. It instead causes the LOAD of *LOCK to
act as the barrier, preventing any loads or stores in the locked region
from occurring prior to the load of *LOCK.

Whether this behaviour is in accordance with the definition of ACQUIRE
semantics in memory-barriers.txt is open to discussion, we may switch to
a different barrier in future.

What this means in practice is that the following can occur:

	CPU 0			CPU 1
	==================================================
	LOAD a = *A 		LOAD b = *B
	a.locked = true		b.locked = true
	LOAD b = *B		LOAD a = *A
	STORE *A = a		STORE *B = b
	if b.locked # false	if a.locked # false
	else			else
	smp_mb()		smp_mb()
	LOAD r1 = *COUNTER	LOAD r2 = *COUNTER
	r1++			r2++
	STORE *COUNTER = r1
				STORE *COUNTER = r2	# Lost update
	spin_unlock(*A)		spin_unlock(*B)

That is, the load of *B can occur prior to the store that makes *A
visibly locked. And similarly for CPU 1. The result is both CPUs hold
their lock and believe the other lock is unlocked.

The easiest fix for this is to add a full memory barrier to the start of
spin_is_locked(), so adding to our previous definition would give us:

	bool spin_is_locked(*LOCK) {
		smp_mb()
		LOAD l = *LOCK
		return l.locked
	}

The new barrier orders the store to the lock we are locking vs the load
of the other lock:

	CPU 0			CPU 1
	==================================================
	LOAD a = *A 		LOAD b = *B
	a.locked = true		b.locked = true
	STORE *A = a		STORE *B = b
	smp_mb()		smp_mb()
	LOAD b = *B		LOAD a = *A
	if b.locked # true	if a.locked # true
	# nothing		# nothing
	spin_unlock(*A)		spin_unlock(*B)

Although the above example is theoretical, there is code similar to this
example in sem_lock() in ipc/sem.c. This commit in addition to the next
commit appears to be a fix for crashes we are seeing in that code where
we believe this race happens in practice.
