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 966728dd88b4026ec58fee169ccceaeaf56ef120 upstream.

I have a box that fails in OF during boot with:

DEFAULT CATCH!, exception-handler=fff00400
at   %SRR0: 49424d2c4c6f6768   %SRR1: 800000004000b002

ie "IBM,Logh". OF got corrupted with a device tree string.

Looking at make_room and alloc_up, we claim the first chunk (1 MB)
but we never claim any more. mem_end is always set to alloc_top
which is the top of our available address space, guaranteeing we will
never call alloc_up and claim more memory.

Also alloc_up wasn't setting alloc_bottom to the bottom of the
available address space.

This doesn't help the box to boot, but we at least fail with
an obvious error. We could relocate the device tree in a future
patch.

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.

Return -EAGAIN when we get H_BUSY back from the hypervisor. This
makes the hvc console driver retry, avoiding dropped printks.

commit 63f21a56f1cc0b800a4c00349c59448f82473d19 upstream.

The existing code it pretty ugly.  How about we clean it up even more
like this?

From: Anton Blanchard &lt;anton@samba.org&gt;

We check for timeout expiry in the outer loop, but we also need to
check it in the inner loop or we can lock up forever waiting for a
CPU to hit real mode.

Commit e360adbe29 ("irq_work: Add generic hardirq context

arch specific function that raises the 'self-IPI'.

<title>powerpc/mm: Fix memory_block_size_bytes() for non-pseries</title>

<id>770e1ac5f29003fca18af4e67eb5a05ddb5b1491</id>
<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.

Don't use printk_ratelimit() as an additional condition for returning
on an error. Because when the ratelimit is reached, printk_ratelimit
will return 0 and e.g. in rtas_get_boot_time won't check for an error
condition.
