[ Upstream commit 6ef4fb387d50fa8f3bffdffc868b57e981cdd709 ]

Recent changes made KERN_CONT mandatory for continued lines. In the
absence of KERN_CONT, a newline may be implicit inserted by the core
printk code.

In show_pte, we (erroneously) use printk without KERN_CONT for continued
prints, resulting in output being split across a number of lines, and
not matching the intended output, e.g.

[ff000000000000] *pgd=00000009f511b003
, *pud=00000009f4a80003
, *pmd=0000000000000000

Fix this by using pr_cont() for all the continuations.

Trying to initialize eMMC slot as SDIO or SD cause failure in n900 port of
qemu. eMMC itself is not detected and is not working.

Real Nokia N900 harware does not have this problem. As eMMC is really not
SDIO or SD based such change is harmless and will fix support for qemu.

JFYI. We have encountered a regression after applying this patch on a
large ppc machine. While the patch is the right thing to do it doesn't
work well with the current vmalloc area size on ppc and large machines
where NUMA nodes are very far from each other. Just for the reference
the boot fails on such a machine with bunch of warning preceeding it.
See http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170724134240.GL25221@dhcp22.suse.cz

It seems the right thing to do is to enlarge the vmalloc space on ppc
but this is not the case in the upstream kernel yet AFAIK. It is also
questionable whether that is a stable material but I will decision on
you here.

We have reverted this patch from our 4.4 based kernel.

Newer kernels do not have enlarged vmalloc space yet AFAIK so they won't
work properly eiter. This bug is quite rare though because you need a
specific HW configuration to trigger the issue - namely NUMA nodes have
to be far away from each other in the physical memory space.

commit 7ceaa6dcd8c6f59588428cec37f3c8093dd1011f upstream.

At present, HV KVM on POWER8 and POWER9 machines loses any instruction
or data breakpoint set in the host whenever a guest is run.
Instruction breakpoints are currently only used by xmon, but ptrace
and the perf_event subsystem can set data breakpoints as well as xmon.

To fix this, we save the host values of the debug registers (CIABR,
DAWR and DAWRX) before entering the guest and restore them on exit.
To provide space to save them in the stack frame, we expand the stack
frame allocated by kvmppc_hv_entry() from 112 to 144 bytes.

[paulus@ozlabs.org - Adjusted stack offsets since we aren't saving
 POWER9-specific registers.]

Commit 46a704f8409f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Preserve userspace HTM
state properly", 2017-06-15) added code which assumes that the kernel
is able to handle a TM (transactional memory) unavailable interrupt
from userspace by reloading the TM-related registers and enabling TM
for the process.  That ability was added in the 4.9 kernel; earlier
kernel versions simply panic on getting the TM unavailable interrupt.

Since commit 46a704f8409f has been backported to the 4.4 stable tree
as commit 824b9506e4f2, 4.4.75 and subsequent versions are vulnerable
to a userspace-triggerable panic.

This patch fixes the problem by explicitly reloading the TM-related
registers before returning to userspace, rather than disabling TM
for the process.

Commit 46a704f8409f also failed to enable TM for the kernel, leading
to a TM unavailable interrupt in the kernel, causing an oops.  This
fixes that problem too, by enabling TM before accessing the TM
registers.  That problem is fixed upstream by the patch "KVM: PPC:
Book3S HV: Enable TM before accessing TM registers".
