[ Upstream commit 3c0b976bf20d236c57adcefa80f86a0a1d737727 ]

Currently in generic_secondary_smp_init(), cur_cpu_spec-&gt;cpu_restore()
is called before a stack has been set up in r1. This was previously fine
as the cpu_restore() functions were implemented in assembly and did not
use a stack. However commit 5a61ef74f269 ("powerpc/64s: Support new
device tree binding for discovering CPU features") used
__restore_cpu_cpufeatures() as the cpu_restore() function for a
device-tree features based cputable entry. This is a C function and
hence uses a stack in r1.

generic_secondary_smp_init() is entered on the secondary cpus via the
primary cpu using the OPAL call opal_start_cpu(). In OPAL, each hardware
thread has its own stack. The OPAL call is ran in the primary's hardware
thread. During the call, a job is scheduled on a secondary cpu that will
start executing at the address of generic_secondary_smp_init().  Hence
the value that will be left in r1 when the secondary cpu enters the
kernel is part of that secondary cpu's individual OPAL stack. This means
that __restore_cpu_cpufeatures() will write to that OPAL stack. This is
not horribly bad as each hardware thread has its own stack and the call
that enters the kernel from OPAL never returns, but it is still wrong
and should be corrected.

Create the temp kernel stack before calling cpu_restore().

As noted by mpe, for a kexec boot, the secondary CPUs are released from
the spin loop at address 0x60 by smp_release_cpus() and then jump to
generic_secondary_smp_init(). The call to smp_release_cpus() is in
setup_arch(), and it comes before the call to emergency_stack_init().
emergency_stack_init() allocates an emergency stack in the PACA for each
CPU.  This address in the PACA is what is used to set up the temp kernel
stack in generic_secondary_smp_init(). Move releasing the secondary CPUs
to after the PACAs have been allocated an emergency stack, otherwise the
PACA stack pointer will contain garbage and hence the temp kernel stack
created from it will be broken.

Similar to previous patches, hard disable interrupts when a CPU is
in panic. This reduces the chance the watchdog has to interfere with
the panic, and avoids any other type of masked interrupt being
executed when crashing which minimises the length of the crash path.

Some function prototypes and body for Thermal Assist Units were not in
sync. Update the function definition to match the existing function
declaration found in `setup-common.c`, changing an `int` return type to a
`u32` return type. Move the prototypes to a header file. Fix the following
warnings, treated as error with W=1:

  arch/powerpc/kernel/tau_6xx.c:257:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘cpu_temp_both’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
  arch/powerpc/kernel/tau_6xx.c:262:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘cpu_temp’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
  arch/powerpc/kernel/tau_6xx.c:267:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘tau_interrupts’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Compile tested with CONFIG_TAU_INT.

<title>powerpc/64e: Fix oops due to deferral of paca allocation</title>

<id>1d0afc0d5a7c281f8ced3bd39f61f3328d5d3822</id>
<content type='text'>
On 64-bit Book3E systems, in setup_tlb_core_data() we reference other
CPUs pacas. But in commit 59f577743d71 ("powerpc/64: Defer paca
allocation until memory topology is discovered") the allocation of
non-boot-CPU pacas was deferred until later in boot.

This leads to an oops:

  CPU maps initialized for 1 thread per core
  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x8888888888888918
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000e2f0d0
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  NIP .setup_tlb_core_data+0xdc/0x160
  Call Trace:
    .setup_tlb_core_data+0x5c/0x160 (unreliable)
    .setup_arch+0x80/0x348
    .start_kernel+0x7c/0x598
    start_here_common+0x1c/0x40

Luckily setup_tlb_core_data() is called immediately prior to
smp_setup_pacas(). So simply switching their order is sufficient to
fix the oops and seems unlikely to have any other unwanted side
effects.

paca of other CPUs directly, to begin with. Subsequent patch will
