[ Upstream commit 093758e3daede29cb4ce6aedb111becf9d4bfc57 ]

This commit is a guesswork, but it seems to make sense to drop this
break, as otherwise the following line is never executed and becomes
dead code. And that following line actually saves the result of
local calculation by the pointer given in function argument. So the
proposed change makes sense if this code in the whole makes sense (but I
am unable to analyze it in the whole).

[ Upstream commit 4ec1b01029b4facb651b8ef70bc20a4be4cebc63 ]

The LDC handshake could have been asynchronously triggered
after ldc_bind() enables the ldc_rx() receive interrupt-handler
(and thus intercepts incoming control packets)
and before vio_port_up() calls ldc_connect(). If that is the case,
ldc_connect() should return 0 and let the state-machine
progress.

[ Upstream commit fe418231b195c205701c0cc550a03f6c9758fd9e ]

Fix detection of BREAK on sunsab serial console: BREAK detection was only
performed when there were also serial characters received simultaneously.
To handle all BREAKs correctly, the check for BREAK and the corresponding
call to uart_handle_break() must also be done if count == 0, therefore
duplicate this code fragment and pull it out of the loop over the received
characters.

Patch applies to 3.16-rc6.

sparc64: Guard against flushing openfirmware mappings.

[ Upstream commit 4ca9a23765da3260058db3431faf5b4efd8cf926 ]

Based almost entirely upon a patch by Christopher Alexander Tobias
Schulze.

In commit db64fe02258f1507e13fe5212a989922323685ce ("mm: rewrite vmap
layer") lazy VMAP tlb flushing was added to the vmalloc layer.  This
causes problems on sparc64.

Sparc64 has two VMAP mapped regions and they are not contiguous with
eachother.  First we have the malloc mapping area, then another
unrelated region, then the vmalloc region.

This "another unrelated region" is where the firmware is mapped.

If the lazy TLB flushing logic in the vmalloc code triggers after
we've had both a module unload and a vfree or similar, it will pass an
address range that goes from somewhere inside the malloc region to
somewhere inside the vmalloc region, and thus covering the
openfirmware area entirely.

The sparc64 kernel learns about openfirmware's dynamic mappings in
this region early in the boot, and then services TLB misses in this
area.  But openfirmware has some locked TLB entries which are not
mentioned in those dynamic mappings and we should thus not disturb
them.

These huge lazy TLB flush ranges causes those openfirmware locked TLB
entries to be removed, resulting in all kinds of problems including
hard hangs and crashes during reboot/reset.

Besides causing problems like this, such huge TLB flush ranges are
also incredibly inefficient.  A plea has been made with the author of
the VMAP lazy TLB flushing code, but for now we'll put a safety guard
into our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation.

Since the implementation has become non-trivial, stop defining it as a
macro and instead make it a function in a C source file.

sparc64: Do not insert non-valid PTEs into the TSB hash table.

[ Upstream commit 18f38132528c3e603c66ea464727b29e9bbcb91b ]

The assumption was that update_mmu_cache() (and the equivalent for PMDs) would
only be called when the PTE being installed will be accessible by the user.

This is not true for code paths originating from remove_migration_pte().

There are dire consequences for placing a non-valid PTE into the TSB.  The TLB
miss frramework assumes thatwhen a TSB entry matches we can just load it into
the TLB and return from the TLB miss trap.

So if a non-valid PTE is in there, we will deadlock taking the TLB miss over
and over, never satisfying the miss.

Just exit early from update_mmu_cache() and friends in this situation.

Based upon a report and patch from Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze.

The problem with the original commit is explained by Russell King:

"It has the effect (as can be seen from the oops) of attaching the MDIO bus
device (itself is a bus-less device) to the platform driver, which means
that if the platform driver supports power management, it will be called
to power manage the MDIO bus device.

Moreover, drivers do not expect to be called for power management
operations for devices which they haven't probed, and certainly not for
devices which aren't part of the same bus that the driver is registered
against."

This reverts commit a71e3c37960ce5f9c6a519bc1215e3ba9fa83e75.
