Upstream commit 771a37ff4d80b80db3b0df3e7696f14b298c67b7

The Machine Description (MD) property "address-congruence-offset" is
optional. According to the MD specification the value is assumed 0UL when
not present. This caused early boot failure on T5.

[ Upstream commit 2856cc2e4d0852c3ddaae9dcb19cb9396512eb08 ]

On a 2-node machine with 256GB of ram we get 512 lines of
console output, which is just too much.

This mimicks Yinghai Lu's x86 commit c2b91e2eec9678dbda274e906cc32ea8f711da3b
(x86_64/mm: check and print vmemmap allocation continuous) except that
we aren't ever going to get contiguous block pointers in between calls
so just print when the virtual address or node changes.

This decreases the output by an order of 16.

Also demote this to KERN_DEBUG.

<title>sparc: Use HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP</title>

sparc doesn't access early_node_map[] directly and enabling
HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is trivial - replacing add_active_range() calls
with memblock_set_node() and selecting HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is
enough.

-v2: Use select in Kconfig instead as suggested by Sam Ravnborg.

The only function of memblock_analyze() is now allowing resize of
memblock region arrays.  Rename it to memblock_allow_resize() and
update its users.

* The following users remain the same other than renaming.

  arm/mm/init.c::arm_memblock_init()
  microblaze/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  powerpc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  openrisc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  sh/mm/init.c::paging_init()
  sparc/mm/init_64.c::paging_init()
  unicore32/mm/init.c::uc32_memblock_init()

* In the following users, analyze was used to update total size which
  is no longer necessary.

  powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c::reserve_crashkernel()
  powerpc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  powerpc/mm/init_32.c::MMU_init()
  powerpc/mm/tlb_nohash.c::__early_init_mmu()  
  powerpc/platforms/ps3/mm.c::ps3_mm_add_memory()
  powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/wii.c::wii_memory_fixups()
  sh/kernel/machine_kexec.c::reserve_crashkernel()

* x86/kernel/e820.c::memblock_x86_fill() was directly setting
  memblock_can_resize before populating memblock and calling analyze
  afterwards.  Call memblock_allow_resize() before start populating.

memblock_can_resize is now static inside memblock.c.

memblock_init() initializes arrays for regions and memblock itself;
however, all these can be done with struct initializers and
memblock_init() can be removed.  This patch kills memblock_init() and
initializes memblock with struct initializer.

The only difference is that the first dummy entries don't have .nid
set to MAX_NUMNODES initially.  This doesn't cause any behavior
difference.

<title>sparc64: Force the execute bit in OpenFirmware's translation entries.</title>

<id>f4142cba4e4065a416e78ade905bea29ff3930e6</id>
<content type='text'>
In the OF 'translations' property, the template TTEs in the mappings
never specify the executable bit.  This is the case even though some
of these mappings are for OF's code segment.

Therefore, we need to force the execute bit on in every mapping.

This problem can only really trigger on Niagara/sun4v machines and the
history behind this is a little complicated.

Previous to sun4v, the sun4u TTE entries lacked a hardware execute
permission bit.  So OF didn't have to ever worry about setting
anything to handle executable pages.  Any valid TTE loaded into the
I-TLB would be respected by the chip.

But sun4v Niagara chips have a real hardware enforced executable bit
in their TTEs.  So it has to be set or else the I-TLB throws an
instruction access exception with type code 6 (protection violation).

We've been extremely fortunate to not get bitten by this in the past.

The best I can tell is that the OF's mappings for it's executable code
were mapped using permanent locked mappings on sun4v in the past.
Therefore, the fact that we didn't have the exec bit set in the OF
translations we would use did not matter in practice.

Thanks to Greg Onufer for helping me track this down.
