commit a61674bdfc7c2bf909c4010699607b62b69b7bec upstream.

GCC 6 will include changes to generated code with -mcmodel=large,
which is used to build kernel modules on powerpc64le.  This was
necessary because the large model is supposed to allow arbitrary
sizes and locations of the code and data sections, but the ELFv2
global entry point prolog still made the unconditional assumption
that the TOC associated with any particular function can be found
within 2 GB of the function entry point:

func:
	addis r2,r12,(.TOC.-func)@ha
	addi  r2,r2,(.TOC.-func)@l
	.localentry func, .-func

To remove this assumption, GCC will now generate instead this global
entry point prolog sequence when using -mcmodel=large:

	.quad .TOC.-func
func:
	.reloc ., R_PPC64_ENTRY
	ld    r2, -8(r12)
	add   r2, r2, r12
	.localentry func, .-func

The new .reloc triggers an optimization in the linker that will
replace this new prolog with the original code (see above) if the
linker determines that the distance between .TOC. and func is in
range after all.

Since this new relocation is now present in module object files,
the kernel module loader is required to handle them too.  This
patch adds support for the new relocation and implements the
same optimization done by the GNU linker.

<title>powerpc/tm: Check for already reclaimed tasks</title>

commit 7f821fc9c77a9b01fe7b1d6e72717b33d8d64142 upstream.

Currently we can hit a scenario where we'll tm_reclaim() twice.  This
results in a TM bad thing exception because the second reclaim occurs
when not in suspend mode.

The scenario in which this can happen is the following.  We attempt to
deliver a signal to userspace.  To do this we need obtain the stack
pointer to write the signal context.  To get this stack pointer we
must tm_reclaim() in case we need to use the checkpointed stack
pointer (see get_tm_stackpointer()).  Normally we'd then return
directly to userspace to deliver the signal without going through
__switch_to().

Unfortunatley, if at this point we get an error (such as a bad
userspace stack pointer), we need to exit the process.  The exit will
result in a __switch_to().  __switch_to() will attempt to save the
process state which results in another tm_reclaim().  This
tm_reclaim() now causes a TM Bad Thing exception as this state has
already been saved and the processor is no longer in TM suspend mode.
Whee!

This patch checks the state of the MSR to ensure we are TM suspended
before we attempt the tm_reclaim().  If we've already saved the state
away, we should no longer be in TM suspend mode.  This has the
additional advantage of checking for a potential TM Bad Thing
exception.

Found using syscall fuzzer.

commit d2b9d2a5ad5ef04ff978c9923d19730cb05efd55 upstream.

Currently we allow both the MSR T and S bits to be set by userspace on
a signal return.  Unfortunately this is a reserved configuration and
will cause a TM Bad Thing exception if attempted (via rfid).

This patch checks for this case in both the 32 and 64 bit signals
code.  If both T and S are set, we mark the context as invalid.

Found using a syscall fuzzer.

When turning this from inline to an exported function I was a bit
over-eager and made it GPL only. This prevents the use of pretty much
all non-GPL PCI driver which is a bit over the top. Let's bring it
back in line with other architecture.

   - Final removal of ARM artifacts which had been introduced during the
     conversion of ARM to the generic interrupt code.

   - Final split of the irq_data into chip specific and common data to
     reflect the needs of hierarchical irq domains.

   - Treewide removal of the first argument of interrupt flow handlers,
     i.e. the irq number, which is not used by the majority of handlers
     and simple to retrieve from the other argument the irq descriptor.

memset() uses instruction dcbz to speed up clearing by not wasting time
loading cache line with data that will be overwritten.
Some platform like mpc52xx do no have cache active at startup and
can therefore not use memset(). Allthough no part of the code
explicitly uses memset(), GCC may make calls to it.

This patch modifies memset() such that at startup, memset()
unconditionally skip the optimised bloc that uses dcbz instruction.

Once the initial MMU is set up, in machine_init() we patch memset()
by replacing this inconditional jump by a NOP
