Every PCI-PCI bridge window should fit inside an upstream bridge window
because orphaned address space is unreachable from the primary side of the
upstream bridge.  If we inherit invalid bridge windows that overlap an
upstream window from firmware, clip them to fit and update the bridge
accordingly.

This reverts commit 7c5c92ed56d932b2c19c3f8aea86369509407d33.

Although this did fix the bug it was aimed at, it also broke secondary
startup on platforms that use give/take_timebase(). Unfortunately we
didn't detect that while it was in next.

<title>powerpc/kdump: Ignore failure in enabling big endian exception during crash</title>

<id>c1caae3de46a072d0855729aed6e793e536a4a55</id>
<content type='text'>
In LE kernel, we currently have a hack for kexec that resets the exception
endian before starting a new kernel as the kernel that is loaded could be a
big endian or a little endian kernel. In kdump case, resetting exception
endian fails when one or more cpus is disabled. But we can ignore the failure
and still go ahead, as in most cases crashkernel will be of same endianess
as primary kernel and reseting endianess is not even needed in those cases.
This patch adds a new inline function to say if this is kdump path. This
function is used at places where such a check is needed.

<id>4a157d61b48c7cdb8d751001442a14ebac80229f</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two ways in which a guest instruction can be obtained from
the guest in the guest exit code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S.  If the
exit was caused by a Hypervisor Emulation interrupt (i.e. an illegal
instruction), the offending instruction is in the HEIR register
(Hypervisor Emulation Instruction Register).  If the exit was caused
by a load or store to an emulated MMIO device, we load the instruction
from the guest by turning data relocation on and loading the instruction
with an lwz instruction.

Unfortunately, in the case where the guest has opposite endianness to
the host, these two methods give results of different endianness, but
both get put into vcpu-&gt;arch.last_inst.  The HEIR value has been loaded
using guest endianness, whereas the lwz will load the instruction using
host endianness.  The rest of the code that uses vcpu-&gt;arch.last_inst
assumes it was loaded using host endianness.

To fix this, we define a new vcpu field to store the HEIR value.  Then,
in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), we transfer the value from this new field to
vcpu-&gt;arch.last_inst, doing a byte-swap if the guest and host endianness
differ.

This removes the code that was added to enable HV KVM to work
on PPC970 processors.  The PPC970 is an old CPU that doesn't
support virtualizing guest memory.  Removing PPC970 support also
lets us remove the code for allocating and managing contiguous
real-mode areas, the code for the !kvm-&gt;arch.using_mmu_notifiers
case, the code for pinning pages of guest memory when first
accessed and keeping track of which pages have been pinned, and
the code for handling H_ENTER hypercalls in virtual mode.

Book3S HV KVM is now supported only on POWER7 and POWER8 processors.
The KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA capability now always returns 0.

This removes the code that was added to enable HV KVM to work
on PPC970 processors.  The PPC970 is an old CPU that doesn't
support virtualizing guest memory.  Removing PPC970 support also
lets us remove the code for allocating and managing contiguous
real-mode areas, the code for the !kvm-&gt;arch.using_mmu_notifiers
case, the code for pinning pages of guest memory when first
accessed and keeping track of which pages have been pinned, and
the code for handling H_ENTER hypercalls in virtual mode.

Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
 "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.

  They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
  drivers.  They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
  just removing a line in a structure.

  Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes.  There
  are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
  acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs
  changes.

  Everything has been in linux-next for a while"

* tag 'driver-core-3.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (324 commits)
  Revert "ath: ath9k: use debugfs_create_devm_seqfile() helper for seq_file entries"
  fs: debugfs: add forward declaration for struct device type
  firmware class: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "vunmap"
  firmware loader: fix hung task warning dump
  devcoredump: provide a one-way disable function
  device: Add dev_&lt;level&gt;_once variants
  ath: ath9k: use debugfs_create_devm_seqfile() helper for seq_file entries
  ath: use seq_file api for ath9k debugfs files
  debugfs: add helper function to create device related seq_file
  drivers/base: cacheinfo: remove noisy error boot message
  Revert "core: platform: add warning if driver has no owner"
  drivers: base: support cpu cache information interface to userspace via sysfs
  drivers: base: add cpu_device_create to support per-cpu devices
  topology: replace custom attribute macros with standard DEVICE_ATTR*
  cpumask: factor out show_cpumap into separate helper function
  driver core: Fix unbalanced device reference in drivers_probe
  driver core: fix race with userland in device_add()
  sysfs/kernfs: make read requests on pre-alloc files use the buffer.
  sysfs/kernfs: allow attributes to request write buffer be pre-allocated.
  fs: sysfs: return EGBIG on write if offset is larger than file size

<title>powernv/powerpc: Add winkle support for offline cpus</title>

Winkle is a deep idle state supported in power8 chips. A core enters
winkle when all the threads of the core enter winkle. In this state
power supply to the entire chiplet i.e core, private L2 and private L3
is turned off. As a result it gives higher powersavings compared to
sleep.

But entering winkle results in a total hypervisor state loss. Hence the
hypervisor context has to be preserved before entering winkle and
restored upon wake up.

Power-on Reset Engine (PORE) is a dedicated engine which is responsible
for powering on the chiplet during wake up. It can be programmed to
restore the register contests of a few specific registers. This patch
uses PORE to restore register state wherever possible and uses stack to
save and restore rest of the necessary registers.

With hypervisor state restore things fall under three categories-
per-core state, per-subcore state and per-thread state. To manage this,
extend the infrastructure introduced for sleep. Mainly we add a paca
variable subcore_sibling_mask. Using this and the core_idle_state we can
distingush first thread in core and subcore.
