commit 5676005acf26ab7e924a8438ea4746e47d405762 upstream.

need set '\0' for 'local_buffer'.

SPLPAR_MAXLENGTH is 1026, RTAS_DATA_BUF_SIZE is 4096. so the contents of
rtas_data_buf may truncated in memcpy.

if contents are really truncated.
  the splpar_strlen is more than 1026. the next while loop checking will
  not find the end of buffer. that will cause memory access violation.

<title>powerpc/iommu: Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC in iommu_init_table()</title>

commit 1cf389df090194a0976dc867b7fffe99d9d490cb upstream.

Under heavy (DLPAR?) stress, we tripped this panic() in
arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c::iommu_init_table():

	page = alloc_pages_node(nid, GFP_ATOMIC, get_order(sz));
	if (!page)
		panic("iommu_init_table: Can't allocate %ld bytes\n", sz);

Before the panic() we got a page allocation failure for an order-2
allocation. There appears to be memory free, but perhaps not in the
ATOMIC context. I looked through all the call-sites of
iommu_init_table() and didn't see any obvious reason to need an ATOMIC
allocation. Most call-sites in fact have an explicit GFP_KERNEL
allocation shortly before the call to iommu_init_table(), indicating we
are not in an atomic context. There is some indirection for some paths,
but I didn't see any locks indicating that GFP_KERNEL is inappropriate.

With this change under the same conditions, we have not been able to
reproduce the panic.

commit 230aef7a6a23b6166bd4003bfff5af23c9bd381f upstream.

Normally when we haven't implemented an alignment handler for
a load or store instruction the process will be terminated.

The alignment handler uses the DSISR (or a pseudo one) to locate
the right handler. Unfortunately ldbrx and stdbrx overlap lfs and
stfs so we incorrectly think ldbrx is an lfs and stdbrx is an
stfs.

This bug is particularly nasty - instead of terminating the
process we apply an incorrect fixup and continue on.

With more and more overlapping instructions we should stop
creating a pseudo DSISR and index using the instruction directly,
but for now add a special case to catch ldbrx/stdbrx.

<title>powerpc: Don't Oops when accessing /proc/powerpc/lparcfg without hypervisor</title>

commit f5f6cbb61610b7bf9d9d96db9c3979d62a424bab upstream.

/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is an ancient facility (though still actively used)
which allows access to some informations relative to the partition when
running underneath a PAPR compliant hypervisor.

It makes no sense on non-pseries machines. However, currently, not only
can it be created on these if the kernel has pseries support, but accessing
it on such a machine will crash due to trying to do hypervisor calls.

In fact, it should also not do HV calls on older pseries that didn't have
an hypervisor either.

Finally, it has the plumbing to be a module but is a "bool" Kconfig option.

This fixes the whole lot by turning it into a machine_device_initcall
that is only created on pseries, and adding the necessary hypervisor
check before calling the H_GET_EM_PARMS hypercall

<title>powerpc/modules: Module CRC relocation fix causes perf issues</title>

commit 0e0ed6406e61434d3f38fb58aa8464ec4722b77e upstream.

Module CRCs are implemented as absolute symbols that get resolved by
a linker script. We build an intermediate .o that contains an
unresolved symbol for each CRC. genksysms parses this .o, calculates
the CRCs and writes a linker script that "resolves" the symbols to
the calculated CRC.

Unfortunately the ppc64 relocatable kernel sees these CRCs as symbols
that need relocating and relocates them at boot. Commit d4703aef
(module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)
added a hook to reverse the bogus relocations. Part of this patch
created a symbol at 0x0:

# head -2 /proc/kallsyms
0000000000000000 T reloc_start
c000000000000000 T .__start

This reloc_start symbol is causing lots of confusion to perf. It
thinks reloc_start is a massive function that stretches from 0x0 to
0xc000000000000000 and we get various cryptic errors out of perf,
including:

problem incrementing symbol count, skipping event

This patch removes the  reloc_start linker script label and instead
defines it as PHYSICAL_START. We also need to wrap it with
CONFIG_PPC64 because the ppc32 kernel can set a non zero
PHYSICAL_START at compile time and we wouldn't want to subtract
it from the CRCs in that case.

commit bf593907f7236e95698a76b7c7a2bbf8b1165327 upstream.

Normally, the kernel emulates a few instructions that are unimplemented
on some processors (e.g. the old dcba instruction), or privileged (e.g.
mfpvr).  The emulation of unimplemented instructions is currently not
working on the PowerNV platform.  The reason is that on these machines,
unimplemented and illegal instructions cause a hypervisor emulation
assist interrupt, rather than a program interrupt as on older CPUs.
Our vector for the emulation assist interrupt just calls
program_check_exception() directly, without setting the bit in SRR1
that indicates an illegal instruction interrupt.  This fixes it by
making the emulation assist interrupt set that bit before calling
program_check_interrupt().  With this, old programs that use no-longer
implemented instructions such as dcba now work again.

commit 120496ac2d2d60aee68d3123a68169502a85f4b5 upstream.

This patch brings online all threads which are present but not online
prior to migration/hibernation.  After migration/hibernation those
threads are taken back offline.

During migration/hibernation all online CPUs must call H_JOIN, this is
required by the hypervisor.  Without this patch, threads that are offline
(H_CEDE'd) will not be woken to make the H_JOIN call and the OS will be
deadlocked (all threads either JOIN'd or CEDE'd).

commit 444080d13d05dc38d07dd3bf751d38bce7ab7c72 upstream.

This fixes a hang that was observed during live partition migration.
Since stop_topology_update must not be called from an interrupt
context, call it earlier in the migration process. The hang observed
can be seen below:
