 "Some more powerpc fixes for 4.14.

  This is bigger than I like to send at rc7, but that's at least partly
  because I didn't send any fixes last week. If it wasn't for the IMC
  driver, which is new and getting heavy testing, the diffstat would
  look a bit better. I've also added ftrace on big endian to my test
  suite, so we shouldn't break that again in future.

   - A fix to the handling of misaligned paste instructions (P9 only),
     where a change to a #define has caused the check for the
     instruction to always fail.

   - The preempt handling was unbalanced in the radix THP flush (P9
     only). Though we don't generally use preempt we want to keep it
     working as much as possible.

   - Two fixes for IMC (P9 only), one when booting with restricted
     number of CPUs and one in the error handling when initialisation
     fails due to firmware etc.

   - A revert to fix function_graph on big endian machines, and then a
     rework of the reverted patch to fix kprobes blacklist handling on
     big endian machines.

  Thanks to: Anju T Sudhakar, Guilherme G. Piccoli, Madhavan Srinivasan,

While registering the cpuhoplug callbacks for core-imc, if we fails
in the cpuhotplug online path for any random core (either because opal call to
initialize the core-imc counters fails or because memory allocation fails for
that core), ppc_core_imc_cpu_offline() will get invoked for other cpus who
successfully returned from cpuhotplug online path.

But in the ppc_core_imc_cpu_offline() path we are trying to migrate the event
context, when core-imc counters are not even initialized. Thus creating the
above stack dump.

Add a check to see if core-imc counters are enabled or not in the cpuhotplug
offline path before migrating the context to handle this failing scenario.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>powerpc/perf: Fix IMC allocation routine</title>

When setting nr_cpus=1, we observed a crash in IMC code during boot
due to a missing allocation: basically, IMC code is taking the number
of threads into account in imc_mem_init() and if we manually set
nr_cpus for a value that is not multiple of the number of threads per
core, an integer division in that function will discard the decimal
portion, leading IMC to not allocate one mem_info struct. This causes
a NULL pointer dereference later, on is_core_imc_mem_inited().

This patch just rounds that division up, fixing the bug.

While registering nest imc at init, cpu-hotplug callback
nest_pmu_cpumask_init() makes an OPAL call to stop the engine. And if
the OPAL call fails, imc_common_cpuhp_mem_free() is invoked to cleanup
memory and cpuhotplug setup.

But when cleaning up the attribute group, we are dereferencing the
attribute element array without checking whether the backing element
is not NULL. This causes the kernel panic.

Add a check for the backing element prior to dereferencing the
attribute element, to handle the failing case gracefully.

Nest/core pmu units are enabled only when it is used. A reference count is
maintained for the events which uses the nest/core pmu units. Currently in
*_imc_counters_release function a WARN() is used for notification of any
underflow of ref count.

The case where event ref count hit a negative value is, when perf session is
started, followed by offlining of all cpus in a given core.
i.e. in cpuhotplug offline path ppc_core_imc_cpu_offline() function set the
ref-&gt;count to zero, if the current cpu which is about to offline is the last
cpu in a given core and make an OPAL call to disable the engine in that core.
And on perf session termination, perf-&gt;destroy (core_imc_counters_release) will
first decrement the ref-&gt;count for this core and based on the ref-&gt;count value
an opal call is made to disable the core-imc engine.
Now, since cpuhotplug path already clears the ref-&gt;count for core and disabled
the engine, perf-&gt;destroy() decrementing again at event termination make it
negative which in turn fires the WARN_ON. The same happens for nest units.

Add a check to see if the reference count is alreday zero, before decrementing
the count, so that the ref count will not hit a negative value.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity.
  Just lots of things all over the place.

  Some things of note include:

   - Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can
     count both core events as well as nest unit events (Memory
     controller etc).

   - Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid
     unnecessary Page Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the
     tree is not changing.

   - Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it
     closer to other architectures where possible.

   - Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to
     send IPIs to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all
     CPUs.

   - The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU
     systems. This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems
     with very sparse NUMA layouts.

   - STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32.

   - A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that
     pairs of cores may share an L2 cache.

   - Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing
     coprocessors, and initial support for using it with the NX
     compression accelerator.

   - Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for
     many new instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to
     implement the emulation needed to fixup alignment faults.

   - Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt
     controller.

  And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting,
  but I had to keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as
  always.

<title>perf/core, x86: Add PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR</title>

<content type='text'>
For understanding how the workload maps to memory channels and hardware
behavior, it's very important to collect address maps with physical
addresses. For example, 3D XPoint access can only be found by filtering
the physical address.

Add a new sample type for physical address.

perf already has a facility to collect data virtual address. This patch
introduces a function to convert the virtual address to physical address.
The function is quite generic and can be extended to any architecture as
long as a virtual address is provided.

 - For kernel direct mapping addresses, virt_to_phys is used to convert
   the virtual addresses to physical address.

 - For user virtual addresses, __get_user_pages_fast is used to walk the
   pages tables for user physical address.

 - This does not work for vmalloc addresses right now. These are not
   resolved, but code to do that could be added.

The new sample type requires collecting the virtual address. The
virtual address will not be output unless SAMPLE_ADDR is applied.

For security, the physical address can only be exposed to root or
privileged user.
