OPAL will mark a CPU that is guarded as "bad" in the status property of the CPU
node.
Unfortunatley Linux doesn't check this property and will put the bad CPU in the
present map. This has caused hangs on booting when we try to unsplit the core.
This patch checks the CPU is avaliable via this status property before putting
it in the present map.

Correct the DSCR SPR becoming temporarily corrupted if a task is
context switched during a transaction.
The problem occurs while suspending the task and is caused by saving
the DSCR to thread.dscr after it has already been set to the CPU's
default value:
__switch_to() calls __switch_to_tm()
which calls tm_reclaim_task()
which calls tm_reclaim_thread()
which calls tm_reclaim()
where the DSCR is set to the CPU's default
__switch_to() calls _switch()
where thread.dscr is set to the DSCR
When the task is resumed, it's transaction will be doomed (as usual)
and the DSCR SPR will be corrupted, although the checkpointed value
will be correct. Therefore the DSCR will be immediately corrected by
the transaction aborting, unless it has been suspended. In that case
the incorrect value can be seen by the task until it resumes the
transaction.
The fix is to treat the DSCR similarly to the TAR and save it early
in __switch_to().
A program exposing the problem is added to the kernel self tests as:
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-resched-dscr.

WSP is the last user of CONFIG_PPC_A2, so we remove that as well.
Although CONFIG_PPC_ICSWX still exists, it's no longer selectable for
any Book3E platform, so we can remove the code in mmu-book3e.h that
depended on it.

The Kconfig symbol SERIAL_TEXT_DEBUG was removed from
arch/powerpc/Kconfig.debug in v2.6.22. (In v2.6.27 it was also removed
from arch/ppc/Kconfig.debug.) So the check for its macro has evaluated
to false for over five years now. Remove that check and the few lines
of code hidden behind it.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window. It got
a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part
because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer
ack in it. Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll
probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack.
There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I
still want to sort through and test.
The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel
with our new v2 ABI. We previously supported v2 userspace but the
kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack. This is now sorted mostly
thanks to Anton and Rusty.
We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for
64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper. This was made harder by the fact that
traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE
toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there
but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it. This
meant more churn that just endian fixes.
This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in
LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the
right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the
right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes.
There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we
*will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!).
Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on
P8 by Michael. This allows a P8 core to be split into "sub cores" of
4 threads which allows the subcores to run different guests under KVM
(the HW still doesn't support a partition per thread).
And then the usual misc bits and fixes ..."

Basically, this patch does the following:
1. Move the codes of parsing boot parameters from setup-common.c
to driver. In this way, code reader can know directly that
there are boot parameters that can change the timeout.
2. Make boot parameter 'booke_wdt_period' effective.
currently, when driver is loaded, default timeout is always
being used in stead of booke_wdt_period.
3. Wrap up the watchdog timeout in device struct and clean up
unnecessary codes.

Patch to prevent warning of a buggy compiler when using clang and
the ARM_UNWIND option.
Clang defines (at least on the current trunk) GNUC, GNUC_MINOR, and
GNUC_PATCHLEVEL to 4, 2, and 1 respectively.
This version of GCC gets flagged as buggy, but it isn't actually an
issue with clang so the patch will do what it did before unless clang
is defined and then it will not report the GCC version as an issue.

With compilers which follow the C99 standard (like modern versions of gcc and
clang), "extern inline" does the wrong thing (emits code for an externally
linkable version of the inline function). "static inline" is the correct choice
instead.

commit 7d453eee36ae ("x86/efi: Wire up CONFIG_EFI_MIXED") introduced a
regression for the functionality to load kernels above 4G. The relevant
(incorrect) reasoning behind this change can be seen in the commit
message,
"The xloadflags field in the bzImage header is also updated to reflect
that the kernel supports both entry points by setting both of
XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_32 and XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_64 when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y.
XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is disabled so that the kernel text is
guaranteed to be addressable with 32-bits."
This is obviously bogus since 32-bit EFI loaders will never place the
kernel above the 4G mark. So this restriction is entirely unnecessary.
But things are worse than that - since we want to encourage people to
always compile with CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y so that their kernels work out of
the box for both 32-bit and 64-bit firmware, commit 7d453eee36ae
effectively disables XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G completely.
Remove the overzealous and superfluous restriction and restore the
XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G functionality.

As of commit 8dc7c5ecd8d0 ("cris: Use generic idle loop"), cris no
longer provides cpu_idle().
- On cris-v10, etrax_gpio_wake_up_check() is called from default_idle()
instead of cpu_idle(),
- On cris-v32, etrax_gpio_wake_up_check() is not called from
default_idle(), so remove this (copy-and-paste?) part.

Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking for
trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can be modified or
even removed before returning to the caller. Take the lock (shared) in
order to avoid races while iterating through the vmacache and/or rbtree.

There are no standard functions for littleendian data (unlike
bigendian data.) Thus, use <tools/le_byteshift.h> to access
littleendian data members. Those are fairly inefficient, but it
doesn't matter for this purpose (and can be optimized later.) This
avoids portability problems.

Russell King points out that my ARM merge (commit eb3d3ec567e8) was
broken wrt the arch/arm/mach-mvebu/board-v7.c file, leaving in a stale
l2x0_of_init() call (it's now handled by the DT description).
Which is kind of embarrassing, since I knew about it as it wasn't the
only file that had similar merge issues. At least I got the other ones
right.

We have a bug in our hugepage handling which exhibits as an infinite
loop of hash faults. If the fault is being taken in the kernel it will
typically trigger the softlockup detector, or the RCU stall detector.
The bug is as follows:
1. mmap(0xa0000000, ..., MAP_FIXED | MAP_HUGE_TLB | MAP_ANONYMOUS ..)
2. Slice code converts the slice psize to 16M.
3. The code on lines 539-540 of slice.c in slice_get_unmapped_area()
synchronises the mm->context with the paca->context. So the paca slice
mask is updated to include the 16M slice.
3. Either:
* mmap() fails because there are no huge pages available.
* mmap() succeeds and the mapping is then munmapped.
In both cases the slice psize remains at 16M in both the paca & mm.
4. mmap(0xa0000000, ..., MAP_FIXED | MAP_ANONYMOUS ..)
5. The slice psize is converted back to 64K. Because of the check on line 539
of slice.c we DO NOT update the paca->context. The paca slice mask is now
out of sync with the mm slice mask.
6. User/kernel accesses 0xa0000000.
7. The SLB miss handler slb_allocate_realmode() **uses the paca slice mask**
to create an SLB entry and inserts it in the SLB.
18. With the 16M SLB entry in place the hardware does a hash lookup, no entry
is found so a data access exception is generated.
19. The data access handler calls do_page_fault() -> handle_mm_fault().
10. __handle_mm_fault() creates a THP mapping with do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page().
11. The hardware retries the access, there is still nothing in the hash table
so once again a data access exception is generated.
12. hash_page() calls into __hash_page_thp() and inserts a mapping in the
hash. Although the THP mapping maps 16M the hashing is done using 64K
as the segment page size.
13. hash_page() returns immediately after calling __hash_page_thp(), skipping
over the code at line 1125. Resulting in the mismatch between the
paca->context and mm->context not being detected.
14. The hardware retries the access, the hash it generates using the 16M
SLB entry does NOT match the hash we inserted.
15. We take another data access and go into __hash_page_thp().
16. We see a valid entry in the hpte_slot_array and so we call updatepp()
which succeeds.
17. Goto 14.
We could fix this in two ways. The first would be to remove or modify
the check on line 539 of slice.c.
The second option is to cause the check of paca psize in hash_page() on
line 1125 to also be done for THP pages.
We prefer the latter, because the check & update of the paca psize is
not done until we know it's necessary. It's also done only on the
current cpu, so we don't need to IPI all other cpus.
Without further rearranging the code, the simplest fix is to pull out
the code that checks paca psize and call it in two places. Firstly for
THP/hugetlb, and secondly for other mappings as before.
Thanks to Dave Jones for trinity, which originally found this bug.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
- Major clean-up of the L2 cache support code. The existing mess was
becoming rather unmaintainable through all the additions that others
have done over time. This turns it into a much nicer structure, and
implements a few performance improvements as well.
- Clean up some of the CP15 control register tweaks for alignment
support, moving some code and data into alignment.c
- DMA properties for ARM, from Santosh and reviewed by DT people. This
adds DT properties to specify bus translations we can't discover
automatically, and to indicate whether devices are coherent.
- Hibernation support for ARM
- Make ftrace work with read-only text in modules
- add suspend support for PJ4B CPUs
- rework interrupt masking for undefined instruction handling, which
allows us to enable interrupts earlier in the handling of these
exceptions.
- support for big endian page tables
- fix stacktrace support to exclude stacktrace functions from the
trace, and add save_stack_trace_regs() implementation so that kprobes
can record stack traces.
- Add support for the Cortex-A17 CPU.
- Remove last vestiges of ARM710 support.
- Removal of ARM "meminfo" structure, finally converting us solely to
memblock to handle the early memory initialisation.

Hang is observed on virtual machines during CPU hotplug,
especially in big guests with many CPUs. (It reproducible
more often if host is over-committed).
It happens because master CPU gives up waiting on
secondary CPU and allows it to run wild. As result
AP causes locking or crashing system. For example
as described here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/6/257
If master CPU have sent STARTUP IPI successfully,
and AP signalled to master CPU that it's ready
to start initialization, make master CPU wait
indefinitely till AP is onlined.
To ensure that AP won't ever run wild, make it
wait at early startup till master CPU confirms its
intention to wait for AP. If AP doesn't respond in 10
seconds, the master CPU will timeout and cancel
AP onlining.
