<title>powerpc: Add missing error check to prom_find_boot_cpu()</title>

commit af2b7fa17eb92e52b65f96604448ff7a2a89ee99 upstream.

prom_init.c calls 'instance-to-package' twice, but the return
is not checked during prom_find_boot_cpu(). The result is then
passed to prom_getprop(), which could be PROM_ERROR. Add a return check
to prevent this.

This was found on a pasemi system, where CFE doesn't have a working
'instance-to package' prom call.

Before Commit 5c0484e25ec0 ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') the area
around addr 0 was mostly 0's and this doesn't cause a problem. Once the
macro 'FIXUP_ENDIAN' has been added to head_64.S, the low memory area
now has non-zero values, which cause the prom_getprop() call
to hang.

mpe: Also confirmed that under SLOF if 'instance-to-package' did fail
with PROM_ERROR we would crash in SLOF. So the bug is not specific to
CFE, it's just that other open firmwares don't trigger it because they
have a working 'instance-to-package'.

The device tree on the Nemo passes all of the i8259 interrupts with
numbers between 212 and 222, and points their interrupt-parent property
to the pasemi-opic, requiring custom patches to the kernel. Fix the
values so that they can be controlled by the generic ppc i8259 code.

<title>powerpc/prom: Fix sub-processor option passed to ibm, client-architecture-support</title>

<id>66443efa83dc73775100b7442962ce2cb0d4472e</id>
<content type='text'>
When booting from an OpenFirmware which supports it, we use the
"ibm,client-architecture-support" firmware call to communicate
our capabilities to firmware.

The format of the structure we pass to firmware is specified in
PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements), or the public version
LoPAPR (Linux on Power Architecture Platform Reference).

Referring to table 244 in LoPAPR v1.1, option vector 5 contains a 4 byte
field at bytes 17-20 for the "Platform Facilities Enable". This is
followed by a 1 byte field at byte 21 for "Sub-Processor Represenation
Level".

Comparing to the code, there we have the Platform Facilities
options (OV5_PFO_*) at byte 17, but we fail to pad that field out to its
full width of 4 bytes. This means the OV5_SUB_PROCESSORS option is
incorrectly placed at byte 18.

Fix it by adding zero bytes for bytes 18, 19, 20, and comment the bytes
to hopefully make it clearer in future.

As far as I'm aware nothing actually consumes this value at this time,
so the effect of this bug is nil in practice.

It does mean we've been incorrectly setting bit 15 of the "Platform
Facilities Enable" option for the past ~3 1/2 years, so we should avoid
allocating that bit to anything else in future.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Fix IBM_ARCH_VEC_NRCORES_OFFSET since POWER8NVL was added</title>

The recent commit 7cc851039d64 ("powerpc/pseries: Add POWER8NVL support
to ibm,client-architecture-support call") added a new PVR mask &amp; value
to the start of the ibm_architecture_vec[] array.

However it missed the fact that further down in the array, we hard code
the offset of one of the fields, and then at boot use that value to
patch the value in the array. This means every update to the array must
also update the #define, ugh.

This means that on pseries machines we will misreport to firmware the
number of cores we support, by a factor of threads_per_core.

Fix it for now by updating the #define.

currently ends up in PowerISA 2.06 compatibility mode on KVM, since QEMU
does not provide a generic PowerISA 2.07 mode yet. So some new
instructions from POWER8 (like "mtvsrd") get disabled for the guest,
resulting in crashes when using code compiled explicitly for
POWER8 (e.g. with the "-mcpu=power8" option of GCC).
