commit af81d7878c641629f2693ae3fdaf74b4af14dfca upstream.

Now we use ESID_BITS of kernel address to build proto vsid. So rename
USER_ESIT_BITS to ESID_BITS

<content type='text'>
commit c60ac5693c47df32a2b4b18af97fca5635def015 upstream.

This patch change the kernel VSID range so that we limit VSID_BITS to 37.
This enables us to support 64TB with 65 bit VA (37+28). Without this patch
we have boot hangs on platforms that only support 65 bit VA.

With this patch we now have proto vsid generated as below:

We first generate a 37-bit "proto-VSID". Proto-VSIDs are generated
from mmu context id and effective segment id of the address.

For user processes max context id is limited to ((1ul &lt;&lt; 19) - 5)
for kernel space, we use the top 4 context ids to map address as below
0x7fffc -  [ 0xc000000000000000 - 0xc0003fffffffffff ]
0x7fffd -  [ 0xd000000000000000 - 0xd0003fffffffffff ]
0x7fffe -  [ 0xe000000000000000 - 0xe0003fffffffffff ]
0x7ffff -  [ 0xf000000000000000 - 0xf0003fffffffffff ]

commit d63ac5f6cf31c8a83170a9509b350c1489a7262b upstream.

Commit 44ae3ab3358e962039c36ad4ae461ae9fb29596c forgot to update
the entry for the 970MP rev 1.0 processor when moving some CPU
features bits to the MMU feature bit mask. This breaks booting
on some rare G5 models using that chip revision.

<title>powerpc: Apply early paca fixups to boot_paca and the boot cpu's paca</title>

commit 25e138149c19fa0680147b825be475f5fd57f155 upstream.

In commit 466921c we added a hack to set the paca data_offset to zero so
that per-cpu accesses would work on the boot cpu prior to per-cpu areas
being setup. This fixed a problem with lockdep touching per-cpu areas
very early in boot.

However if we combine CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y with any of the PPC_EARLY_DEBUG
options, we can hit the same problem in udbg_early_init(). To avoid that
we need to set the data_offset of the boot_paca also. So factor out the
fixup logic and call it for both the boot_paca, and "the paca of the
boot cpu".

<title>powerpc/eeh: Fix crash when adding a device in a slot with DDW</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 6a040ce72598159a74969a2d01ab0ba5ee6536b3 upstream.

The DDW code uses a eeh_dev struct from the pci_dev. However, this is
not set until eeh_add_device_late is called.

Since pci_bus_add_devices is called before eeh_add_device_late, the PCI
devices are added to the bus, making drivers' probe hooks to be called.
These will call set_dma_mask, which will call the DDW code, which will
require the eeh_dev struct from pci_dev. This would result in a crash,
due to a NULL dereference.

Calling eeh_add_device_late after pci_bus_add_devices would make the
system BUG, because device files shouldn't be added to devices there
were not added to the system. So, a new function is needed to add such
files only after pci_bus_add_devices have been called.

commit 8520e443aa56cc157b015205ea53e7b9fc831291 upstream.

Disable hard IRQ before kexec a new kernel image.
Not doing it can result in corrupted data in the memory segments
reserved for the new kernel.

With lazy interrupt, we always call __check_irq_replaysome with
decrementers_next_tb to check if we need to replay timer interrupt.
So in hotplug case we also need to set decrementers_next_tb as MAX
to make sure __check_irq_replay don't replay timer interrupt
when return as we expect, otherwise we'll trap here infinitely.

preempt_schedule_irq() may enable hard interrupt but we really
should disable interrupts when we return from the interrupt,
