Firmware-assisted dump (fadump) kernel code is not endian safe. The
below patch fixes this issue. Tested this patch with upstream kernel.
Below output shows crash tool successfully opening LE fadump vmcore.

Remove the check of CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT when deciding if
is_hugepage_only_range() is extern or inline. The extern version is in
slice.c and is built if CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES=y.

There was no build break possible because CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT is
only selectable under conditions which also mean CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES
will be selected.

Pull more powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Here's some more updates for powerpc for 3.18.

  They are a bit late I know, though must are actually bug fixes.  In my
  defence I nearly cut the top of my finger off last weekend in a
  gruesome bike maintenance accident, so I spent a good part of the week
  waiting around for doctors.  True story, I can send photos if you like :)

  Probably the most interesting fix is the sys_call_table one, which
  enables syscall tracing for powerpc.  There's a fix for HMI handling
  for old firmware, more endian fixes for firmware interfaces, more EEH
  fixes, Anton fixed our routine that gets the current stack pointer,
  and a few other misc bits"

  there is audit which didn't have it.  Use syscall_get_arch() in the
  seccomp audit code.  Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
  a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
  syscall entry.

  The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
  with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().

  Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
  messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
  a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
  this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

  This converts most of the uses but not all.  Christoph will follow up
  with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
  remove the obsolete accessors"

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
  with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().

  Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
  messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
  a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
  this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

  This converts most of the uses but not all.  Christoph will follow up
  with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
  remove the obsolete accessors"

<title>powerpc/eeh: Block PCI config access upon frozen PE</title>

<content type='text'>
The problem was found when I tried to inject PCI config error by
PHB3 PAPR error injection registers into Broadcom Austin 4-ports
NIC adapter. The frozen PE was reported successfully and EEH core
started to recover it. However, I run into fenced PHB when dumping
PCI config space as EEH logs. I was told that PCI config requests
should not be progagated to the adapter until PE reset is done
successfully. Otherise, we would run out of PHB internal credits
and trigger PCT (PCIE Completion Timeout), which leads to the
fenced PHB.

The patch introduces another PE flag EEH_PE_CFG_RESTRICTED, which
is set during PE initialization time if the PE includes the specific
PCI devices that need block PCI config access until PE reset is done.
When the PE becomes frozen for the first time, EEH_PE_CFG_BLOCKED is
set if the PE has flag EEH_PE_CFG_RESTRICTED. Then the PCI config
access to the PE will be dropped by platform PCI accessors until
PE reset is done successfully. The mechanism is shared by PowerNV
platform owned PE or userland owned ones. It's not used on pSeries
platform yet.

<title>powerpc/eeh: Rename flag EEH_PE_RESET to EEH_PE_CFG_BLOCKED</title>

The flag EEH_PE_RESET indicates blocking config space of the PE
during reset time. We potentially need block PE's config space
other than reset time. So it's reasonable to replace it with
EEH_PE_CFG_BLOCKED to indicate its usage.

There are no substantial code or logic changes in this patch.

Michael points out that __get_SP() is a pretty horrible
function name. Let's give it a better name.
