commit d715e433b7ad19c02fc4becf0d5e9a59f97925de upstream.

kdump fails because we try to execute an HV only instruction. Feature
fixups are being applied after we copy the exception vectors down to 0
so they miss out on any updates.

We have always had this issue but it only became critical in v3.0
when we added CFAR support (breaks POWER5) and v3.1 when we added
POWERNV (breaks everyone).

commit 72f3bea075287785ed32b777b6dd2636aa7002e8 upstream.

Fixes the PS3 bootup hang introduced in 3.0-rc1 by:

  commit 317f394160e9beb97d19a84c39b7e5eb3d7815a
  sched: Move the second half of ttwu() to the remote cpu

Move the PS3's LV1 EOI call lv1_end_of_interrupt_ext() from ps3_chip_eoi()
to ps3_get_irq() for IPI messages.

If lv1_send_event_locally() is called between a previous call to
lv1_send_event_locally() and the coresponding call to
lv1_end_of_interrupt_ext() the second event will not be delivered to the
target cpu.

The PS3's SMP IPIs are implemented using lv1_send_event_locally(), so if two
IPI messages of the same type are sent to the same target in a relatively
short period of time the second IPI event can become lost when
lv1_end_of_interrupt_ext() is called from ps3_chip_eoi().

commit 90d4f5534d14815bd94c10e8ceccc57287657ecc upstream.

PVHVM running with more than 32 vcpus and pv_irq/pv_time enabled
need VCPU placement to work, or else it will softlockup.

commit dfd3b596fbbfa48b8e7966ef996d587157554b69 upstream.

In the case of 29bit mode, CAC/UNCAC_ADDR does not return a right address.
This revises this problem by using P1SEGADDR and P2SEGADDR in 29bit mode.

Since 193ab2a6070039e7ee2b9b9bebea754a7c52fd1b, various AT91 boards don't
register USBA adapters anymore due to depending on a now non-existing

commit 8bdafa39a47265bc029838b35cc6585f69224afa upstream.

The icswx code introduced an A-B B-A deadlock:

     CPU0                    CPU1
     ----                    ----
lock(&amp;anon_vma-&gt;mutex);
                             lock(&amp;mm-&gt;mmap_sem);
                             lock(&amp;anon_vma-&gt;mutex);
lock(&amp;mm-&gt;mmap_sem);

Instead of using the mmap_sem to keep mm_users constant, take the
page table spinlock.

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.

ibm,configure-connector returns 0 for configuration complete, so
catch this and avoid the error.

commit a11940978bd598e65996b4f807cf4904793f7025 upstream.

If we echo an address the hypervisor doesn't like to
/sys/devices/system/memory/probe we oops the box:

# echo 0x10000000000 &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/probe

kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c:541!

The backtrace is:

create_section_mapping
arch_add_memory
add_memory
memory_probe_store
sysdev_class_store
sysfs_write_file
vfs_write
SyS_write

In create_section_mapping we BUG if htab_bolt_mapping returned
an error. A better approach is to return an error which will
propagate back to userspace.

Rerunning the test with this patch applied:

# echo 0x10000000000 &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
