One of the possible cases indicated by P7IOC interrupt is fenced
PHB. For that case, we need fetch the PE corresponding to the PHB
and disable the PHB and all subordinate PCI buses/devices, recover
from the fenced state and eventually enable the whole PHB. We need
one function to fetch the PHB PE outside eeh_pe.c and the patch is
going to make eeh_phb_pe_get() public for that purpose.

The patch moves the common part of EEH core into arch/powerpc/kernel
directory so that we needn't PPC_PSERIES while compiling POWERNV
platform:
* Move the EEH common part into arch/powerpc/kernel
* Move the functions for PCI hotplug from pSeries platform to
arch/powerpc/kernel/pci-hotplug.c
* Move CONFIG_EEH from arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/Kconfig to
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig
* Adjust makefile accordingly

Currently we only restore signals which are transactionally suspended but it's
possible that the transaction can be restored even when it's active. Most
likely this will result in a transactional rollback by the hardware as the
transaction will have been doomed by an earlier treclaim.
The current code is a legacy of earlier kernel implementations which did
software rollback of active transactions in the kernel. That code has now gone
but we didn't correctly fix up this part of the signals code which still makes
assumptions based on having software rollback.
This changes the signal return code to always restore both contexts on 64 bit
signal return. It also ensures that the MSR TM bits are properly restored from
the signal context which they are not currently.

Currently we clear out the MSR TM bits on signal return assuming that the
signal should never return to an active transaction.
This is bogus as the user may do this. It's most likely the transaction will
be doomed due to a treclaim but that's a problem for the HW not the kernel.
The current code is a legacy of earlier kernel implementations which did
software rollback of active transactions in the kernel. That code has now gone
but we didn't correctly fix up this part of the signals code which still makes
the assumption that it must be returning to a suspended transaction.
This pulls out both MSR TM bits from the user supplied context rather than just
setting TM suspend. We pull out only the bits needed to ensure the user can't
do anything dangerous to the MSR.

Currently sys_sigreturn() is TM unaware. Therefore, if we take a 32 bit signal
without SIGINFO (non RT) inside a transaction, on signal return we don't
restore the signal frame correctly.
This checks if the signal frame being restoring is an active transaction, and
if so, it copies the additional state to ptregs so it can be restored.

The MSR TM controls are in the top 32 bits of the MSR hence on 32 bit signals,
we stick the top half of the MSR in the checkpointed signal context so that the
user can access it.
Unfortunately, we don't currently write anything to the checkpointed signal
context when coming in a from a non transactional process and hence the top MSR
bits can contain junk.
This updates the 32 bit signal handling code to always write something to the
top MSR bits so that users know if the process is transactional or not and the
kernel can use it on signal return.

IBM's p series machines provide persistent storage for LPARs through NVRAM.
NVRAM's lnx,oops-log partition is used to log oops messages.
Currently the kernel provides the contents of p-series NVRAM only as a
simple stream of bytes via /dev/nvram, which must be interpreted in user
space by the nvram command in the powerpc-utils package.
This patch set exploits the pstore subsystem to expose oops partition in
NVRAM as a separate file in /dev/pstore. For instance, Oops messages will be
stored in a file named [dmesg-nvram-2]. In case pstore registration fails it
will fall back to kmsg_dump mechanism.
This patch will read/write the oops messages from/to this partition via pstore.

Introduce version and timestamp information in the oops header.
oops_log_info (oops header) holds version (to distinguish between old
and new format oops header), length of the oops text
(compressed or uncompressed) and timestamp.
The version field will sit in the same place as the length in old
headers. version is assigned 5000 (greater than oops partition size)
so that existing tools will refuse to dump new style partitions as
the length is too large. The updated tools will work with both
old and new format headers.

On BookE (Branch taken + Single Step) is as same as Branch Taken
on BookS and in Linux we simulate BookS behavior for BookE as well.
When doing so, in Branch taken handling we want to set DBCR0_IC but
we update the current->thread->dbcr0 and not DBCR0.
Now on 64bit the current->thread.dbcr0 (and other debug registers)
is synchronized ONLY on context switch flow. But after handling
Branch taken in debug exception if we return back to user space
without context switch then single stepping change (DBCR0_ICMP)
does not get written in h/w DBCR0 and Instruction Complete exception
does not happen.
This fixes using ptrace reliably on BookE-PowerPC

This initializes IOMMU groups based on the IOMMU configuration
discovered during the PCI scan on POWERNV (POWER non virtualized)
platform. The IOMMU groups are to be used later by the VFIO driver,
which is used for PCI pass through.
It also implements an API for mapping/unmapping pages for
guest PCI drivers and providing DMA window properties.
This API is going to be used later by QEMU-VFIO to handle
h_put_tce hypercalls from the KVM guest.
The iommu_put_tce_user_mode() does only a single page mapping
as an API for adding many mappings at once is going to be
added later.
Although this driver has been tested only on the POWERNV
platform, it should work on any platform which supports
TCE tables. As h_put_tce hypercall is received by the host
kernel and processed by the QEMU (what involves calling
the host kernel again), performance is not the best -
circa 220MB/s on 10Gb ethernet network.
To enable VFIO on POWER, enable SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU config
option and configure VFIO as required.

There appears to be no good reason to keep this as 64bit only. It works
on 32bit also, and has checks so that it can work correctly with 32bit
binaries on 64bit hardware which is why I think this works.

decrementer_check_overflow
Previously in order to handle the edge sensitive decrementers,
we choose to set the decrementer to 1 to trigger a decrementer
interrupt when re-enabling interrupts. But with the rework of the
lazy EE, we would replay the decrementer interrupt when re-enabling
interrupts if a decrementer interrupt occurs with irq soft-disabled.
So there is no need to trigger a decrementer interrupt in this case
any more.

Book3E uses the hugepd at PMD level and don't encode pte directly
at the pmd level. So it will find the lower bits of pmd set
and the pmd_bad check throws error. Infact the current code
will never take the free_hugepd_range call at all because it will
clear the pmd if it find a hugepd pointer. Fix this by clearing
bad pmd only if it is not a hugepd pointer.
This is regression introduced by e2b3d202d1dba8f3546ed28224ce485bc50010be

Conflicts:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig
drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c
net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c
net/wireless/nl80211.c
The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right
next to the deletion of another option.
The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the
handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action().
Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically
keep everything in both conflict hunks.
The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a
dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that
Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted
to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine
whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.
However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the
RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should
be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.
To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try
to allocate 'tb'.

Most of the stuff from kernel/sched.c was moved to kernel/sched/core.c long time
back and the comments/Documentation never got updated.
I figured it out when I was going through sched-domains.txt and so thought of
fixing it globally.
I haven't crossed check if the stuff that is referenced in sched/core.c by all
these files is still present and hasn't changed as that wasn't the motive behind
this patch.

kwmppc_lazy_ee_enable() should be called as late as possible,
or else we get things like WARN_ON(preemptible()) in enable_kernel_fp()
in configurations where preemptible() works.
Note that book3s_pr already waits until just before __kvmppc_vcpu_run
to call kvmppc_lazy_ee_enable().

adds a socket option for low latency polling.
This allows overriding the global sysctl value with a per-socket one.
Unexport sysctl_net_ll_poll since for now it's not needed in modules.

Pull powerpc fixes from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"So here are 3 fixes still for 3.10. Fixes are simple, bugs are nasty
(though not recent regressions, nasty enough) and all targeted at
stable"
* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc:
powerpc: Fix missing/delayed calls to irq_work
powerpc: Fix emulation of illegal instructions on PowerNV platform
powerpc: Fix stack overflow crash in resume_kernel when ftracing
|

When replaying interrupts (as a result of the interrupt occurring
while soft-disabled), in the case of the decrementer, we are exclusively
testing for a pending timer target. However we also use decrementer
interrupts to trigger the new "irq_work", which in this case would
be missed.
This change the logic to force a replay in both cases of a timer
boundary reached and a decrementer interrupt having actually occurred
while disabled. The former test is still useful to catch cases where
a CPU having been hard-disabled for a long time completely misses the
interrupt due to a decrementer rollover.

Normally, the kernel emulates a few instructions that are unimplemented
on some processors (e.g. the old dcba instruction), or privileged (e.g.
mfpvr). The emulation of unimplemented instructions is currently not
working on the PowerNV platform. The reason is that on these machines,
unimplemented and illegal instructions cause a hypervisor emulation
assist interrupt, rather than a program interrupt as on older CPUs.
Our vector for the emulation assist interrupt just calls
program_check_exception() directly, without setting the bit in SRR1
that indicates an illegal instruction interrupt. This fixes it by
making the emulation assist interrupt set that bit before calling
program_check_interrupt(). With this, old programs that use no-longer
implemented instructions such as dcba now work again.
