commit 501fed45b7e8836ee9373f4d31e2d85e3db6103a upstream.

When 'console=hvc0' is specified to the kernel parameter in x86 KVM guest,
hvc console is setup within a kthread. However, that will cause SEGV
and the boot will fail when the driver is builtin to the kernel,
because currently hvc_console_setup() is annotated with '__init'. This
patch removes '__init' to boot the guest successfully with 'console=hvc0'.

<title>hvc: ensure hvc_init is only ever called once in hvc_console.c</title>

commit f76a1cbed18c86e2d192455f0daebb48458965f3 upstream.

Commit 3e6c6f630a5282df8f3393a59f10eb9c56536d23 ("Delay creation of
khcvd thread") moved the call of hvc_init from being a device_initcall
into hvc_alloc, and used a non-null hvc_driver as indication of whether
hvc_init had already been called.

The problem with this is that hvc_driver is only assigned a value
at the bottom of hvc_init, and so there is a window where multiple
hvc_alloc calls can be in progress at the same time and hence try
and call hvc_init multiple times.  Previously the use of device_init
guaranteed that hvc_init was only called once.

This manifests itself as sporadic instances of two hvc_init calls
racing each other, and with the loser of the race getting -EBUSY
from tty_register_driver() and hence that virtual console fails:

    Couldn't register hvc console driver
    virtio-ports vport0p1: error -16 allocating hvc for port

Here we add an atomic_t to guarantee we'll never run hvc_init twice.

Commit d0380e6c3c0f6edb986d8798a23acfaf33d5df23 (early_printk:
consolidate random copies of identical code) added in 3.10 introduced
a check for con-&gt;index == -1 in early_console_register().

Initialize index to -1 for the xenboot console so earlyprintk=xen
works again.

Pull Tile arch updates from Chris Metcalf:
 "These changes bring in a bunch of new functionality that has been
  maintained internally at Tilera over the last year, plus other stray
  bits of work that I've taken into the tile tree from other folks.

  The changes include some PCI root complex work, interrupt-driven
  console support, support for performing fast-path unaligned data
  fixups by kernel-based JIT code generation, CONFIG_PREEMPT support,
  vDSO support for gettimeofday(), a serial driver for the tilegx
  on-chip UART, KGDB support, more optimized string routines, support
  for ftrace and kprobes, improved ASLR, and many bug fixes.

  We also remove support for the old TILE64 chip, which is no longer
  buildable"

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: (85 commits)
  tile: refresh tile defconfig files
  tile: rework &lt;asm/cmpxchg.h&gt;
  tile PCI RC: make default consistent DMA mask 32-bit
  tile: add null check for kzalloc in tile/kernel/setup.c
  tile: make __write_once a synonym for __read_mostly
  tile: remove support for TILE64
  tile: use asm-generic/bitops/builtin-*.h
  tile: eliminate no-op "noatomichash" boot argument
  tile: use standard tile_bundle_bits type in traps.c
  tile: simplify code referencing hypervisor API addresses
  tile: change &lt;asm/system.h&gt; to &lt;asm/switch_to.h&gt; in comments
  tile: mark pcibios_init() as __init
  tile: check for correct compiler earlier in asm-offsets.c
  tile: use standard 'generic-y' model for &lt;asm/hw_irq.h&gt;
  tile: use asm-generic version of &lt;asm/local64.h&gt;
  tile PCI RC: add comment about "PCI hole" problem
  tile: remove DEBUG_EXTRA_FLAGS kernel config option

   - A few updates to our "powernv" platform (non-virtualized, the one
     to run KVM on), among other, support for bridging the P8 LPC bus
     for UARTs, support and some EEH fixes.

   - Some mpc51xx clock API cleanups in preparation for a clock API
     overhaul

   - A pile of cleanups of our old math emulation code, including better
     support for using it to emulate optional FP instructions on
     embedded chips that otherwise have a HW FPU.

   - Some infrastructure in selftest, for powerpc now, but could be
     generalized, initially used by some tests for our perf instruction
     counting code.

   - A pile of fixes for hotplug on pseries (that was seriously
     bitrotting)

   - The usual slew of freescale embedded updates, new boards, 64-bit

This solves a problem observed in kexec'ed kernel where 200ms timeout is
too short and bootconsole fails to initialize. Console did eventually
become workable but much later into the boot process.

Observed timeout was around 260ms, but I decided to make it a little bigger
for more reliability.

This has been tested on Power7 machine with Petitboot as a primary
bootloader and PowerNV firmware.
