[ Upstream commit 9dcb3df4281876731e4e8bff7940514d72375154 ]

The interrupt controller inside the Wii's Hollywood chip is connected to
two masters, the "Broadway" PowerPC and the "Starlet" ARM926, each with
their own interrupt status and mask registers.

When booting the Wii with mini[1], interrupts from the SD card
controller (IRQ 7) are handled by the ARM, because mini provides SD
access over IPC. Linux however can't currently use or disable this IPC
service, so both sides try to handle IRQ 7 without coordination.

Let's instead make sure that all interrupts that are unmasked on the PPC
side are masked on the ARM side; this will also make sure that Linux can
properly talk to the SD card controller (and potentially other devices).

If access to a device through IPC is desired in the future, interrupts
from that device should not be handled by Linux directly.

[ Upstream commit 4ea69b2fd623dee2bbc77d3b6b7d8c0924e2026a ]

For multi-function programs, loading the address of a callee
function to a register requires emitting instructions whose
count varies from one to five depending on the nature of the
address.

Since we come to know of the callee's address only before the
extra pass, the number of instructions required to load this
address may vary from what was previously generated. This can
make the JITed image grow or shrink.

To avoid this, we should generate a constant five-instruction
when loading function addresses by padding the optimized load
sequence with NOPs.

[ Upstream commit 926bc2f100c24d4842b3064b5af44ae964c1d81c ]

The stores to update the SLB shadow area must be made as they appear
in the C code, so that the hypervisor does not see an entry with
mismatched vsid and esid. Use WRITE_ONCE for this.

GCC has been observed to elide the first store to esid in the update,
which means that if the hypervisor interrupts the guest after storing
to vsid, it could see an entry with old esid and new vsid, which may
possibly result in memory corruption.

commit 722cde76d68e8cc4f3de42e71c82fd40dea4f7b9 upstream.

Unregister fadump on kexec down path otherwise the fadump registration
in new kexec-ed kernel complains that fadump is already registered.
This makes new kernel to continue using fadump registered by previous
kernel which may lead to invalid vmcore generation. Hence this patch
fixes this issue by un-registering fadump in fadump_cleanup() which is
called during kexec path so that new kernel can register fadump with
new valid values.
