[ Upstream commit eae40a6da63faa9fb63ff61f8fa2b3b57da78a84 ]

HPTE format was changed since Power9 (ISA 3.0) onwards. While dumping
kernel hash page tables, nothing gets printed on powernv P9+. This patch
utilizes the helpers added in the patch tagged as fixes, to convert new
format to old format and dump the hptes. This fix is only needed for
native_find() (powernv), since pseries continues to work fine with the
old format.

[ Upstream commit 17b45ccf09882e0c808ad2cf62acdc90ad968746 ]

When HV=0 &amp; IR/DR=0, the Hash MMU is said to be in Virtual Real
Addressing Mode during early boot. During this, we should ensure that
memory region allocations for stress_hpt_struct should happen from
within RMA region as otherwise the boot might get stuck while doing
memset of this region.

History behind why do we have RMA region limitation is better explained
in these 2 patches [1] &amp; [2]. This patch ensures that memset to
stress_hpt_struct during early boot does not cross ppc64_rma_size
boundary.

<title>powerpc/kdump: Fix size calculation for hot-removed memory ranges</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 7afe2383eff05f76f4ce2cfda658b7889c89f101 ]

The elfcorehdr segment in the kdump image stores information about the
memory regions (called crash memory ranges) that the kdump kernel must
capture.

When a memory hot-remove event occurs, the kernel regenerates the
elfcorehdr for the currently loaded kdump image to remove the
hot-removed memory from the crash memory ranges.

Call chain:
remove_mem_range()
update_crash_elfcorehdr()
arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event()
crash_handle_hotplug_event()

While removing the hot-removed memory from the crash memory ranges in
remove_mem_range(), if the removed memory lies within an existing crash
range, that range is split into two. During this split, the size of the
second range was being calculated incorrectly.

This leads to dump capture failure with makedumpfile with below error:

$ makedumpfile -l -d 31 /proc/vmcore /tmp/vmcore

readpage_elf: Attempt to read non-existent page at 0xbbdab0000.
readmem: type_addr: 0, addr:c000000bbdab7f00, size:16
validate_mem_section: Can't read mem_section array.
readpage_elf: Attempt to read non-existent page at 0xbbdab0000.
readmem: type_addr: 0, addr:c000000bbdab7f00, size:8
get_mm_sparsemem: Can't get the address of mem_section.

The updated crash memory range in PT_LOAD entry is holding incorrect
data (checkout FileSiz and MemSiz):

readelf -a /proc/vmcore
&lt;snip...&gt;
  Type           Offset             VirtAddr           PhysAddr
                 FileSiz            MemSiz              Flags  Align
  LOAD           0x0000000b013d0000 0xc000000b80000000 0x0000000b80000000
                 0xffffffffc0000000 0xffffffffc0000000  RWE    0x0
&lt;snip...&gt;

Update the size calculation for the new crash memory range to fix this
issue.

Note: This problem will not occur if the kdump kernel is loaded or
reloaded after a memory hot-remove operation.

Ever since uevent support was added for AER and EEH with commit
856e1eb9bdd4 ("PCI/AER: Add uevents in AER and EEH error/resume"), it
reported PCI_ERS_RESULT_NONE as uevent when recovery begins.

Commit 7b42d97e99d3 ("PCI/ERR: Always report current recovery status for
udev") subsequently amended AER to report the actual return value of
error_detected().

Make the same change to EEH to align it with AER and s390.

[ Upstream commit 35561bab768977c9e05f1f1a9bc00134c85f3e28 ]

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

At this point MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS is misnamed for all folio users,
and now that we remove MIGRATEPAGE_UNMAP, it's really the only "success"
return value that the code uses and expects.

Let's just get rid of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS completely and just use "0"
for success.

[ Upstream commit fb49a4425cfa163faccd91f913773d3401d3a7d4 ]

At this point MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS is misnamed for all folio users,
and now that we remove MIGRATEPAGE_UNMAP, it's really the only "success"
return value that the code uses and expects.

Let's just get rid of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS completely and just use "0"
for success.

<title>powerpc/32: Remove PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT to fix startup failure</title>

[ Upstream commit 9316512b717f6f25c4649b3fdb0a905b6a318e9f ]

PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT is an old macro that is used to tell kernel whether
kernel text has to be mapped read-only or read-write based on build
time options.

But nowadays, with functionnalities like jump_labels, static links,
etc ... more only less all kernels need to be read-write at some
point, and some combinations of configs failed to work due to
innacurate setting of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT. On the other hand, today
we have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX which implements a more controlled
access to kernel modifications.

Instead of trying to keep PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT accurate with all
possible options that may imply kernel text modification, always
set kernel text read-write at startup and rely on
CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX to provide accurate protection.

Do this by passing PAGE_KERNEL_X to map_kernel_page() in
__maping_ram_chunk() instead of passing PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT. Once
this is done, the only remaining user of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT is
mmu_mark_initmem_nx() which uses it in a call to setibat().
As setibat() ignores the RW/RO, we can seamlessly replace
PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT by PAGE_KERNEL_X here as well and get rid of
PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT completely.

<title>powerpc/fadump: skip parameter area allocation when fadump is disabled</title>

[ Upstream commit 0843ba458439f38efdc14aa359c14ad0127edb01 ]

Fadump allocates memory to pass additional kernel command-line argument
to the fadump kernel. However, this allocation is not needed when fadump
is disabled. So avoid allocating memory for the additional parameter
area in such cases.

commit 3443ff3be6e59b80d74036bb39f5b6409eb23cc9 upstream.

pseries_irq_domain_alloc() allocates interrupts at parent's interrupt
domain. If it fails in the progress, all allocated interrupts are
freed.

The number of successfully allocated interrupts so far is stored
"i". However, "i - 1" interrupts are freed. This is broken:

  - One interrupt is not be freed

  - If "i" is zero, "i - 1" wraps around

Correct the number of freed interrupts to 'i'.
