<title>powerpc: use for_each_sg()</title>

This replaces the plain loop over the sglist array with for_each_sg()
macro which consists of sg_next() function calls.  Since powerpc does
select ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN, it is necessary to use for_each_sg() in order
to loop over each sg element.  This also help find problems with drivers
that do not properly initialize their sg tables when CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is
enabled.

<title>powerpc/iommu: Move tce_xxx callbacks from ppc_md to iommu_table</title>

<id>da004c3600f52e4f05017f60970e5010978006bc</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds a iommu_table_ops struct and puts pointer to it into
the iommu_table struct. This moves tce_build/tce_free/tce_get/tce_flush
callbacks from ppc_md to the new struct where they really belong to.

This adds the requirement for @it_ops to be initialized before calling
iommu_init_table() to make sure that we do not leave any IOMMU table
with iommu_table_ops uninitialized. This is not a parameter of
iommu_init_table() though as there will be cases when iommu_init_table()
will not be called on TCE tables, for example - VFIO.

This does s/tce_build/set/, s/tce_free/clear/ and removes "tce_"
redundant prefixes.

This removes tce_xxx_rm handlers from ppc_md but does not add
them to iommu_table_ops as this will be done later if we decide to
support TCE hypercalls in real mode. This removes _vm callbacks as
only virtual mode is supported by now so this also removes @rm parameter.

For pSeries, this always uses tce_buildmulti_pSeriesLP/
tce_buildmulti_pSeriesLP. This changes multi callback to fall back to
tce_build_pSeriesLP/tce_free_pSeriesLP if FW_FEATURE_MULTITCE is not
present. The reason for this is we still have to support "multitce=off"
boot parameter in disable_multitce() and we do not want to walk through
all IOMMU tables in the system and replace "multi" callbacks with single
ones.

For powernv, this defines _ops per PHB type which are P5IOC2/IODA1/IODA2.
This makes the callbacks for them public. Later patches will extend
callbacks for IODA1/2.

No change in behaviour is expected.

This patch reverts my previous "fix", and replace it with the correct
fix from Russell.

And as Russell pointed out -- dma_set_mask_and_coherent() (and the other
dma_set_mask() functions) are really supposed to be used by drivers
only.

I encountered following issue:
[    0.283035] ibmvscsi 30000015: couldn't initialize event pool
[    5.688822] ibmvscsi: probe of 30000015 failed with error -1

which prevents the storage from being recognized, and the machine from
booting.

After some digging, it seems that it is caused by commit 4886c399da

as dma_mask pointer in viodev-&gt;dev is not set, so in
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(), dma_set_coherent_mask() is not called
because dma_set_mask(), which is dma_set_mask_pSeriesLP() returned EIO.
While before the commit, dma_set_coherent_mask() is always called.

I tried to replace dma_set_mask_and_coherent() with
dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(), and the machine could boot again.

Pull DMA mask updates from Russell King:
 "This series cleans up the handling of DMA masks in a lot of drivers,
  fixing some bugs as we go.

  Some of the more serious errors include:
   - drivers which only set their coherent DMA mask if the attempt to
     set the streaming mask fails.
   - drivers which test for a NULL dma mask pointer, and then set the
     dma mask pointer to a location in their module .data section -
     which will cause problems if the module is reloaded.

  To counter these, I have introduced two helper functions:
   - dma_set_mask_and_coherent() takes care of setting both the
     streaming and coherent masks at the same time, with the correct
     error handling as specified by the API.
   - dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() which resolves the problem of
     drivers forcefully setting DMA masks.  This is more a marker for
     future work to further clean these locations up - the code which
     creates the devices really should be initialising these, but to fix
     that in one go along with this change could potentially be very
     disruptive.

  The last thing this series does is prise away some of Linux's addition
  to "DMA addresses are physical addresses and RAM always starts at
  zero".  We have ARM LPAE systems where all system memory is above 4GB
  physical, hence having DMA masks interpreted by (eg) the block layers
  as describing physical addresses in the range 0..DMAMASK fails on
  these platforms.  Santosh Shilimkar addresses this in this series; the
  patches were copied to the appropriate people multiple times but were
  ignored.

  Fixing this also gets rid of some ARM weirdness in the setup of the
  max*pfn variables, and brings ARM into line with every other Linux
  architecture as far as those go"

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "The bulk of this is LE updates.  One should now be able to build an LE
  kernel and even run some things in it.

  I'm still sitting on a handful of patches to enable the new ABI that I
  *might* still send this merge window around, but due to the
  incertainty (they are pretty fresh) I want to keep them separate.

  Other notable changes are some infrastructure bits to better handle
  PCI pass-through under KVM, some bits and pieces added to the new
  PowerNV platform support such as access to the CPU SCOM bus via sysfs,
  and support for EEH error handling on PHB3 (Power8 PCIe).

  We also grew arch_get_random_long() for both pseries and powernv when
  running on P7+ and P8, exploiting the HW rng.

  And finally various embedded updates from freescale"

* 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (154 commits)
  powerpc: Fix fatal SLB miss when restoring PPR
  powerpc/powernv: Reserve the correct PE number
  powerpc/powernv: Add PE to its own PELTV
  powerpc/powernv: Add support for indirect XSCOM via debugfs
  powerpc/scom: Improve debugfs interface
  powerpc/scom: Enable 64-bit addresses
  powerpc/boot: Properly handle the base "of" boot wrapper
  powerpc/bpf: Support MOD operation
  powerpc/bpf: Fix DIVWU instruction opcode
  of: Move definition of of_find_next_cache_node into common code.
  powerpc: Remove big endianness assumption in of_find_next_cache_node
  powerpc/tm: Remove interrupt disable in __switch_to()
  powerpc: word-at-a-time optimization for 64-bit Little Endian
  powerpc/bpf: BPF JIT compiler for 64-bit Little Endian
  powerpc: Only save/restore SDR1 if in hypervisor mode
  powerpc/pmu: Fix ADB_PMU_LED_IDE dependencies
  powerpc/nvram: Fix endian issue when using the partition length
  powerpc/nvram: Fix endian issue when reading the NVRAM size
  powerpc/nvram: Scan partitions only once
  powerpc/mpc512x: remove unnecessary #if
