<title>memblock: rename memblock_free to memblock_phys_free</title>

Since memblock_free() operates on a physical range, make its name
reflect it and rename it to memblock_phys_free(), so it will be a
logical counterpart to memblock_phys_alloc().

The callers are updated with the below semantic patch:

    @@
    expression addr;
    expression size;
    @@
    - memblock_free(addr, size);
    + memblock_phys_free(addr, size);

<title>powerpc: Avoid broken GCC __attribute__((optimize))</title>

Commit 7053f80d9696 ("powerpc/64: Prevent stack protection in early
boot") introduced a couple of uses of __attribute__((optimize)) with
function scope, to disable the stack protector in some early boot
code.

Unfortunately, and this is documented in the GCC man pages [0],
overriding function attributes for optimization is broken, and is only
supported for debug scenarios, not for production: the problem appears
to be that setting GCC -f flags using this method will cause it to
forget about some or all other optimization settings that have been
applied.

So the only safe way to disable the stack protector is to disable it
for the entire source file.

Early secure guest boot hits the below crash while booting with
vcpus numbers aligned with page boundary for PAGE size of 64k
and LPPACA size of 1k i.e 64, 128 etc.

  Partition configured for 64 cpus.
  CPU maps initialized for 1 thread per core
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/kernel/paca.c:89!
  Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]
  LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Radix SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries

This is due to the BUG_ON() for shared_lppaca_total_size equal to
shared_lppaca_size. Instead the code should only BUG_ON() if we have
exceeded the total_size, which indicates we've overflowed the array.

The include/linux/pgtable.h is going to be the home of generic page table
manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.

<title>powerpc/rtas: Implement reentrant rtas call</title>

<id>b664db8e3f976d9233cc9ea5e3f8a8c0bcabeb48</id>

Implement rtas_call_reentrant() for reentrant rtas-calls:
"ibm,int-on", "ibm,int-off",ibm,get-xive" and  "ibm,set-xive".

On LoPAPR Version 1.1 (March 24, 2016), from 7.3.10.1 to 7.3.10.4,
items 2 and 3 say:

2 - For the PowerPC External Interrupt option: The * call must be
reentrant to the number of processors on the platform.
3 - For the PowerPC External Interrupt option: The * argument call
buffer for each simultaneous call must be physically unique.

So, these rtas-calls can be called in a lockless way, if using
a different buffer for each cpu doing such rtas call.

For this, it was suggested to add the buffer (struct rtas_args)
in the PACA struct, so each cpu can have it's own buffer.
The PACA struct received a pointer to rtas buffer, which is
allocated in the memory range available to rtas 32-bit.

Reentrant rtas calls are useful to avoid deadlocks in crashing,
where rtas-calls are needed, but some other thread crashed holding
the rtas.lock.

This is a backtrace of a deadlock from a kdump testing environment:

  #0 arch_spin_lock
  #1  lock_rtas ()
  #2  rtas_call (token=8204, nargs=1, nret=1, outputs=0x0)
  #3  ics_rtas_mask_real_irq (hw_irq=4100)
  #4  machine_kexec_mask_interrupts
  #5  default_machine_crash_shutdown
  #6  machine_crash_shutdown
  #7  __crash_kexec
  #8  crash_kexec
  #9  oops_end
