Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - One fix for the interrupt rework we did last release which broke
   KVM-PR

 - Three commits fixing some fallout from the READ_ONCE() changes
   interacting badly with our 8xx 16K pages support, which uses a pte_t
   that is a structure of 4 actual PTEs

 - A cleanup of the 8xx pte_update() to use the newly added pmd_off()

 - A fix for a crash when handling an oops if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is
   enabled

 - A minor fix for the SPU syscall generation

Thanks to Aneesh Kumar K.V, Christian Zigotzky, Christophe Leroy, Mike
Rapoport, Nicholas Piggin.

Better describe what this helper does, and match the naming of
copy_from_kernel_nofault.

Also switch the argument order around, so that it acts and looks
like get_user().

<title>powerpc: Fix kernel crash in show_instructions() w/DEBUG_VIRTUAL</title>

With CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y, we can hit a BUG() if we take a hard
lockup watchdog interrupt when in OPAL mode.

This happens in show_instructions() if the kernel takes the watchdog
NMI IPI, or any other interrupt, with MSR_IR == 0. show_instructions()
updates the variable pc in the loop and the second iteration will
result in BUG().

We hit the BUG_ON due the below check in  __va()

  #define __va(x)
  ({
  	VIRTUAL_BUG_ON((unsigned long)(x) &gt;= PAGE_OFFSET);
  	(void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) | PAGE_OFFSET);
  })

Fix it by moving the check out of the loop. Also update nip so that
the nip == pc check still matches.

<title>mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included</title>

<id>e31cf2f4ca422ac9b14ecc4a1295b8977a20f812</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address &gt;&gt; PMD_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;
in the files that include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include &lt;asm\/pgtable.h&gt;/ d' $f
	done

<content type='text'>
Currently, the log-level of show_stack() depends on a platform
realization.  It creates situations where the headers are printed with
lower log level or higher than the stacktrace (depending on a platform or
user).

Furthermore, it forces the logic decision from user to an architecture
side.  In result, some users as sysrq/kdb/etc are doing tricks with
temporary rising console_loglevel while printing their messages.  And in
result it not only may print unwanted messages from other CPUs, but also
omit printing at all in the unlucky case where the printk() was deferred.

Introducing log-level parameter and KERN_UNSUPPRESSED [1] seems an easier
approach than introducing more printk buffers.  Also, it will consolidate
printings with headers.

Introduce show_stack_loglvl(), that eventually will substitute
show_stack().

Currently we assume that we have only one watchpoint supported by hw.
Get rid of that assumption and use dynamic loop instead. This should
make supporting more watchpoints very easy.

With more than one watchpoint, exception handler needs to know which
DAWR caused the exception, and hw currently does not provide it. So
we need sw logic for the same. To figure out which DAWR caused the
exception, check all different combinations of user specified range,
DAWR address range, actual access range and DAWRX constrains. For ex,
if user specified range and actual access range overlaps but DAWRX is
configured for readonly watchpoint and the instruction is store, this
DAWR must not have caused exception.

Currently we calculate hw aligned start and end addresses manually.
Replace them with builtin ALIGN_DOWN() and ALIGN() macros.

So far end_addr was inclusive but this patch makes it exclusive (by
avoiding -1) for better readability.

<title>powerpc/watchpoint: Use loop for thread_struct-&gt;ptrace_bps</title>

ptrace_bps is already an array of size HBP_NUM_MAX. But we use
hardcoded index 0 while fetching/updating it. Convert such code
to loop over array.

ptrace interface to use multiple watchpoint remains same. eg:
two PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG calls will create two watchpoint if
underneath hw supports it.
