commit 9fb2640159f9d4f5a2a9d60e490482d4cbecafdb upstream.

Some versions of pHyp will perform the adjunct partition test before the
ANDCOND test.  The result of this is that H_RESOURCE can be returned and
cause the BUG_ON condition to occur. The HPTE is not removed.  So add a
check for H_RESOURCE, it is ok if this HPTE is not removed as
pSeries_lpar_hpte_remove is looking for an HPTE to remove and not a
specific HPTE to remove.  So it is ok to just move on to the next slot
and try again.

<title>powerpc: Fix unpaired probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e4f387d8db3ba3c2dae4d8bdfe7bb5f4fe1bcb0d upstream.

Unpaired calling of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit might happen
as following, which could cause incorrect preempt count.

__trace_hcall_entry =&gt; trace_hcall_entry -&gt; probe_hcall_entry =&gt;
get_cpu_var =&gt; preempt_disable

__trace_hcall_exit =&gt; trace_hcall_exit -&gt; probe_hcall_exit =&gt;
put_cpu_var =&gt; preempt_enable

where:
A =&gt; B and A -&gt; B means A calls B, but
=&gt; means A will call B through function name, and B will definitely be
called.
-&gt; means A will call B through function pointer, so B might not be
called if the function pointer is not set.

So error happens when only one of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit
get called during a hcall.

This patch tries to move the preempt count operations from
probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit to its callers.

commit 8feaa43494cee5e938fd5a57b9e9bf1c827e6ccd upstream.

Since commit 188917e183cf9ad0374b571006d0fc6d48a7f447, /proc/ppc64 is a
symlink to /proc/powerpc/. That means that creating /proc/ppc64/eeh will
end up with a unaccessible file, that is not listed under /proc/powerpc/
and, then, not listed under /proc/ppc64/.

Creating /proc/powerpc/eeh fixes that problem and maintain the
compatibility intended with the ppc64 symlink.

commit bed9a31527af8ff3dfbad62a1a42815cef4baab7 upstream.

On a box with 8TB of RAM the MMU hashtable is 64GB in size. That
means we have 4G PTEs. pSeries_lpar_hptab_clear was using a signed
int to store the index which will overflow at 2G.

commit b1301797f30370c430244979671978fc232f4533 upstream.

Recent versions of firmware will fail to unmap the virtual processor
area if we have a dispatch trace log registered. This causes kexec
to fail.

If a trace log is registered this patch unregisters it before the
SLB shadow and virtual processor areas, fixing the problem.

The address argument is ignored by firmware on unregister so we
may as well remove it.

<content type='text'>
Just compiling pseries in the kernel causes it to override
memory_block_size_bytes() regardless of what is the runtime
platform.

This cleans up the implementation of that function, fixing
a bug or two while at it, so that it's harmless (and potentially
useful) for other platforms. Without this, bugs in that code
would trigger a WARN_ON() in drivers/base/memory.c when
booting some different platforms.

If/when we have another platform supporting memory hotplug we
might want to either move that out to a generic place or
make it a ppc_md. callback.

Move the discovery of windows previously setup from when the pci driver
calls set_dma_mask to an arch_initcall.

When kexecing into a kernel with dynamic dma windows allocated, we need
to find the windows early so that memory hot remove will be able to
delete the tces mapping the to be removed memory and memory hotplug add
will map the new memory into the window.  We should not wait for the
driver to be loaded and the device to be probed.  The iommu init hooks
are before kmalloc is setup, so defer to arch_initcall.
