commit eda8eebdd153c48a4e2a3a3ac3cd9e2e31f5c6b3 upstream.

The ASM version of hash computation function was truncating the upper bit.
Make the ASM version similar to hpt_hash function. Remove masking vsid bits.
Without this patch, we observed hang during bootup due to not satisfying page
fault request correctly. The fault handler used wrong hash values to update
the HPTE. Hence we kept looping with page fault.

hash_page(ea=000001003e260008, access=203, trap=300 ip=3fff91787134 dsisr 42000000
The computed value of hash 000000000f22f390
update: avpnv=4003e46054003e00, hash=000000000722f390, f=80000006, psize: 2 ...

BenH: The over-masking has been there for ever but only hurts with the
new 64T support introduced in 3.7

commit 572177d7c77db1981ba2563e01478126482c43bc upstream.

In preempt case current arch_local_irq_restore() from
preempt_schedule_irq() may enable hard interrupt but we really
should disable interrupts when we return from the interrupt,
and so that we don't get interrupted after loading SRR0/1.

commit d3286144c92ec876da9e30320afa875699b7e0f1 upstream.

Guests can trigger MMIO exits using dcbf. Since we don't emulate cache
incoherent MMIO, just do nothing and move on.

When remembering the direction of a DCR transaction, we should write
to the same variable that we interpret on later when doing vcpu_run

commit e6449c9b2d90c1bd9a5985bf05ddebfd1631cd6b upstream.

The missing NULL terminator can cause a panic on
PPC405 boards during boot:

  Linux/PowerPC load: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock1 rootfstype=squashfs,jffs2 noinitrd init=/etc/preinit
  Finalizing device tree... flat tree at 0x6a5160

   Call Trace:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

The panic happens since commit 9597abe00c1bab2aedce6b49866bf6d1e81c9eed
(sections: fix section conflicts in arch/powerpc), however the root
cause of this is that the NULL terminator were not added in commit
a4f740cf33f7f6c164bbde3c0cdbcc77b0c4997c (of/flattree: Add of_flat_dt_match()
helper function).

<title>powerpc/vdso: Remove redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit ce73ec6db47af84d1466402781ae0872a9e7873c upstream.

The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso
code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also
introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall()
and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop
forever in vdso code.

The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz().

Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data
unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating
the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race
condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further
causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code.

The below scenario describes the race condition,
x==0	Boot CPU			other CPU
	proc_P: x==0
	    timer interrupt
		update_vsyscall
x==1		    x++;sync		settimeofday
					    update_vsyscall_tz
x==2						x++;sync
x==3		    sync;x++
						sync;x++
	proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even)

Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not
atomic on powerpc.

A similar change was made for x86 in commit 6c260d58634
("x86: vdso: Remove bogus locking in update_vsyscall_tz")

commit 11ee7e99f35ecb15f59b21da6a82d96d2cd3fcc8 upstream.

If we build a kernel with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=n,
the kernel fails when we run at a non zero offset. It turns out
we were incorrectly wrapping some of the relocatable kernel code
with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP.

<title>powerpc/eeh: Do not invalidate PE properly</title>

<content type='text'>
While the EEH does recovery on the specific PE that has PCI errors,
the PCI devices belonging to the PE will be removed and the PE will
be marked as invalid since we still need the information stored in
the PE. We only invalidate the PE when it doesn't have associated
EEH devices and valid child PEs. However, the code used to check
that is wrong. The patch fixes that.

While the EEH does recovery on the specific PE that has PCI errors,
the PCI devices belonging to the PE will be removed and the PE will
be marked as invalid since we still need the information stored in
the PE. We only invalidate the PE when it doesn't have associated
EEH devices and valid child PEs. However, the code used to check
that is wrong. The patch fixes that.

The new EEH code introduced a small regression, if the EEH PEs
are missin (which happens currently in qemu for example), it
will deref a NULL pointer in the MSI code.
