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 ..."

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.

This series adds support for building the powerpc 64-bit
LE kernel using the new ABI v2. We already supported
running ABI v2 userspace programs but this adds support
for building the kernel itself using the new ABI.
When we never get around to seeing an HEA ethernet adapter, there's
no point in restricting ourselves to 4k IO page size.
This speeds up IO maps when CONFIG_IBMEBUS is disabled.

On p8 systems, with relocation on exception feature enabled we are seeing
kdump kernel hang at interrupt vector 0xc*4400. The reason is, with this
feature enabled, exception are raised with MMU (IR=DR=1) ON with the
default offset of 0xc*4000. Since exception is raised in virtual mode it
requires the vector region to be executable without which it fails to
fetch and execute instruction at 0xc*4xxx. For default kernel since kernel
is loaded at real 0, the htab mappings sets the entire kernel text region
executable. But for relocatable kernel (e.g. kdump case) we only copy
interrupt vectors down to real 0 and never marked that region as
executable because in p7 and below we always get exception in real mode.
This patch fixes this issue by marking htab mapping range as executable
that overlaps with the interrupt vector region for relocatable kernel.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the powerpc uses of the __cpuinit macros. There
are no __CPUINIT users in assembly files in powerpc.

We need to have irqs disabled to handle all the possible parallel update for
linux page table without holding locks.
Events that we are intersted in while walking page tables are
1) Page fault
2) umap
3) THP split
4) THP collapse
A) local_irq_disabled:
------------------------
1) page fault:
A none to valid transition via page fault is not an issue because we
would either see a none or valid. If it is none, we would error out
the page table walk. We may need to use on stack values when checking for
type of page table elements, because if we do
if (!is_hugepd()) {
if (!pmd_none() {
if (pmd_bad() {
We could take that bad condition because the pmd got converted to a hugepd
after the !is_hugepd check via a hugetlb fault.
The right way would be to check for pmd_none higher up or use on stack value.
2) A valid to none conversion via unmap:
We can safely walk the upper level table, because we don't remove the the
page table entries until rcu grace period. So even if we followed a
wrong pointer we still have the pointer valid till the grace period.
A PTE pointer returned need to be atomically checked for _PAGE_PRESENT and
_PAGE_BUSY. A valid pointer returned could becoming none later. To prevent
pte_clear we take _PAGE_BUSY.
3) THP split:
A valid transparent hugepage is converted to nomal page. Before we split we
do pmd_splitting_flush, which sets the hugepage PTE to _PAGE_SPLITTING
So when walking page table we need to check for pmd_trans_splitting and
handle that. The pte returned should also need to be checked for
_PAGE_SPLITTING before setting _PAGE_BUSY similar to _PAGE_PRESENT. We save
the value of PTE on stack and check for the flag in the local pte value.
If we don't have the value set we can safely operate on the local pte value
and we atomicaly set _PAGE_BUSY.
4) THP collapse:
A normal page gets converted to hugepage. In the collapse path, we
mark the pmd none early (pmdp_clear_flush). With irq disabled, if we
are aleady walking page table we would see the pmd_none and won't continue.
If we see a valid PMD, we should still check for _PAGE_PRESENT before
setting _PAGE_BUSY, to make sure we didn't collapse the PTE to a Huge PTE.

If a hash bucket gets full, we "evict" a more/less random entry from it.
When we do that we don't invalidate the TLB (hpte_remove) because we assume
the old translation is still technically "valid". This implies that when
we are invalidating or updating pte, even if HPTE entry is not valid
we should do a tlb invalidate. With hugepages, we need to pass the correct
actual page size value for tlb invalidation.
This change update the patch 0608d69246

transparent hugepages correctly.

from mmu context id and effective segment id of the address.
For user processes max context id is limited to ((1ul << 19) - 5)
for kernel space, we use the top 4 context ids to map address as below

Fix up trivial conflicts (other header files, and removal of the ab3550 mfd driver) in
- drivers/media/dvb/frontends/dibx000_common.c
- drivers/media/video/{mt9m111.c,ov6650.c}
- drivers/mfd/ab3550-core.c
- include/linux/dmaengine.h
With module.h being implicitly everywhere via device.h, the absence
of explicitly including something for EXPORT_SYMBOL went unnoticed.
Since we are heading to fix things up and clean module.h from the
device.h file, we need to explicitly include these files now.

If we echo an address the hypervisor doesn't like to
/sys/devices/system/memory/probe we oops the box:
# echo 0x10000000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c:541!
The backtrace is:
create_section_mapping
arch_add_memory
add_memory
memory_probe_store
sysdev_class_store
sysfs_write_file
vfs_write
SyS_write
In create_section_mapping we BUG if htab_bolt_mapping returned
an error. A better approach is to return an error which will
propagate back to userspace.
Rerunning the test with this patch applied:
# echo 0x10000000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors. This allows the kernel to
use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of
TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with
large memory footprints. Care should be taken when using this on FSL
processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low
(16-64) on current processors.
The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g.
Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and
must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated).
This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE
processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for
64-bit BooKE.

Some of the 64bit PPC CPU features are MMU-related, so this patch moves
them to MMU_FTR_ bits. All cpu_has_feature()-style tests are moved to
mmu_has_feature(), and seven feature bits are freed as a result.

There are a few places we patch instructions without using
patch_instruction and patch_branch, probably because they
predated it. Fix it.

Change pgdir from a void to real type. Having this as a void is
stupid and has already caused 1 bug.

In:
powerpc/mm: Fix pgtable cache cleanup with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT
commit d28513bc7f
Author: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
subpage_protection() was changed to to take an mm rather a pgdir but it
didn't change calling site in hashpage_preload(). The change wasn't
noticed at compile time since hashpage_preload() used a void* as the
parameter to subpage_protection().
This is obviously wrong and can trigger the following crash when
CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES
CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT are enabled.
