commit 1bd6a1c4b80a28d975287630644e6b47d0f977a5 upstream.

Crash memory ranges is an array of memory ranges of the crashing kernel
to be exported as a dump via /proc/vmcore file. The size of the array
is set based on INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS, which works alright in most cases
where memblock memory regions count is less than INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS
value. But this count can grow beyond INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS value since
commit 142b45a72e22 ("memblock: Add array resizing support").

On large memory systems with a few DLPAR operations, the memblock memory
regions count could be larger than INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS value. On such
systems, registering fadump results in crash or other system failures
like below:

commit 19c22f3a29fa8669c477f20a65f6c7c27108972a upstream.

arch/tile added word-at-a-time.h after the patch that added generic-y
entries; the generic-y entry is now stale.

arch/h8300 is newer than the generic-y patch for word-at-a-time.h,
and needs a generic-y entry.

arch/powerpc seems to have gotten a generic-y entry by mistake in
the first patch; this change removes it.

commit a6e2f029ae34f41adb6ae3812c32c5d326e1abd2 upstream.

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
that didn't previously have it.

<title>powerpc/powernv: define a standard delay for OPAL_BUSY type retry loops</title>

commit 34dd25de9fe3f60bfdb31b473bf04b28262d0896 upstream.

This is the start of an effort to tidy up and standardise all the
delays. Existing loops have a range of delay/sleep periods from 1ms
to 20ms, and some have no delay. They all loop forever except rtc,
which times out after 10 retries, and that uses 10ms delays. So use
10ms as our standard delay. The OPAL maintainer agrees 10ms is a
reasonable starting point.

The idea is to use the same recipe everywhere, once this is proven to
work then it will be documented as an OPAL API standard. Then both
firmware and OS can agree, and if a particular call needs something
else, then that can be documented with reasoning.

This is not the end-all of this effort, it's just a relatively easy
change that fixes some existing high latency delays. There should be
provision for standardising timeouts and/or interruptible loops where
possible, so non-fatal firmware errors don't cause hangs.

commit 0bfdf598900fd62869659f360d3387ed80eb71cf upstream.

asm/barrier.h is not always included after asm/synch.h, which meant
it was missing __SUBARCH_HAS_LWSYNC, so in some files smp_wmb() would
be eieio when it should be lwsync. kernel/time/hrtimer.c is one case.

__SUBARCH_HAS_LWSYNC is only used in one place, so just fold it in
to where it's used. Previously with my small simulator config, 377
instances of eieio in the tree. After this patch there are 55.

commit c1e150ceb61e4a585bad156da15c33bfe89f5858 upstream.

When CONFIG_NUMA is not set, the build fails with:

  error: déclaration implicite de la fonction « update_numa_cpu_lookup_table »

So we have to add update_numa_cpu_lookup_table() as an empty function

commit 1d9a090783bef19fe8cdec878620d22f05191316 upstream.

When DLPAR removing a CPU, the unmapping of the cpu from a node in
unmap_cpu_from_node() should also invalidate the CPUs entry in the
numa_cpu_lookup_table. There is not a guarantee that on a subsequent
DLPAR add of the CPU the associativity will be the same and thus
could be in a different node. Invalidating the entry in the
numa_cpu_lookup_table causes the associativity to be read from the
device tree at the time of the add.

The current behavior of not invalidating the CPUs entry in the
numa_cpu_lookup_table can result in scenarios where the the topology
layout of CPUs in the partition does not match the device tree
or the topology reported by the HMC.

This bug looks like it was introduced in 2004 in the commit titled
"ppc64: cpu hotplug notifier for numa", which is 6b15e4e87e32 in the
linux-fullhist tree. Hence tag it for all stable releases.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Fix svcpu copying with preemption enabled</title>

commit 07ae5389e98c53bb9e9f308fce9c903bc3ee7720 upstream.

When copying between the vcpu and svcpu, we may get scheduled away onto
a different host CPU which in turn means our svcpu pointer may change.

That means we need to atomically copy to and from the svcpu with preemption
disabled, so that all code around it always sees a coherent state.

commit 93b2d3cf3733b4060d3623161551f51ea1ab5499 upstream.

The instruction code for xxlor that commit 0016a4cf5582 ("powerpc:
Emulate most Book I instructions in emulate_step()", 2010-06-15)
added is actually the code for xxlnor.  It is used in get_vsr()
and put_vsr() and the effect of the error is that if emulate_step
is used to emulate a VSX load or store from any register other
than vsr0, the bitwise complement of the correct value will be
loaded or stored.  This corrects the error.
