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.

Put it back. (Yes, nobody noticed until now ...)

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.

<content type='text'>
commit e6449c9b2d90c1bd9a5985bf05ddebfd1631cd6b upstream.

The missing NULL terminator can cause a panic on
PPC405 boards during boot:

  Linux/PowerPC load: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock1 rootfstype=squashfs,jffs2 noinitrd init=/etc/preinit

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

The panic happens since commit 9597abe00c1bab2aedce6b49866bf6d1e81c9eed
(sections: fix section conflicts in arch/powerpc), however the root
cause of this is that the NULL terminator were not added in commit
a4f740cf33f7f6c164bbde3c0cdbcc77b0c4997c (of/flattree: Add of_flat_dt_match()
helper function).

<title>powerpc/vdso: Remove redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()</title>

<id>23c4e04a835e6b538efc431e7310af9e924d6978</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ce73ec6db47af84d1466402781ae0872a9e7873c upstream.

The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso
code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also
introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall()
and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop
forever in vdso code.

The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz().

Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data
unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating
the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race
condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further
causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code.

The below scenario describes the race condition,
x==0	Boot CPU			other CPU
	proc_P: x==0
	    timer interrupt
		update_vsyscall
x==1		    x++;sync		settimeofday
					    update_vsyscall_tz
x==2						x++;sync
x==3		    sync;x++
						sync;x++
	proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even)

Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not
atomic on powerpc.

A similar change was made for x86 in commit 6c260d58634
("x86: vdso: Remove bogus locking in update_vsyscall_tz")

If we build a kernel with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=n,
the kernel fails when we run at a non zero offset. It turns out
we were incorrectly wrapping some of the relocatable kernel code
with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP.

commit feadf7c0a1a7c08c74bebb4a13b755f8c40e3bbc upstream.

The EEH core is talking with the PCI device driver to determine the
action (purely reset, or PCI device removal). During the period, the
driver might be unloaded and in turn causes kernel crash as follows:

EEH: Detected PCI bus error on PHB#4-PE#10000

The patch increases the reference of the corresponding driver modules
while EEH core does the negotiation with PCI device driver so that the
corresponding driver modules can't be unloaded during the period and
we're safe to refer the callbacks.

The patch increases the reference of the corresponding driver modules
while EEH core does the negotiation with PCI device driver so that the
corresponding driver modules can't be unloaded during the period and
we're safe to refer the callbacks.

<title>powerpc/eeh: Fix crash on converting OF node to edev</title>

commit 1e38b7140185e384da216aff66a711df09b5afc9 upstream.

The kernel crash was reported by Alexy. He was testing some feature
with private kernel, in which Alexy added some code in pci_pm_reset()
to read the CSR after writting it. The bug could be reproduced on
Fiber Channel card (Fibre Channel: Emulex Corporation Saturn-X:
LightPulse Fibre Channel Host Adapter (rev 03)) by the following
commands.

	# echo 1 &gt; /sys/devices/pci0004:01/0004:01:00.0/reset
	# rmmod lpfc
	# modprobe lpfc

The history behind the test case is that those additional config
space reading operations in pci_pm_reset() would cause EEH error,
but we didn't detect EEH error until "modprobe lpfc". For the case,
all the PCI devices on PCI bus (0004:01) were removed and added after
PE reset. Then the EEH devices would be figured out again based on
the OF nodes. Unfortunately, there were some child OF nodes under
PCI device (0004:01:00.0), but they didn't have attached PCI_DN since
they're invisible from PCI domain. However, we were still trying to
convert OF node to EEH device without checking on the attached PCI_DN.
Eventually, it caused the kernel crash as follows:

The patch changes of_node_to_eeh_dev() and just returns NULL if the
passed OF node doesn't have attached PCI_DN.

commit 896c01cb4bb3cfc2c0ea9873fa7a9f8bd0a7c8d8 upstream.

In order for indirect mode on the PIXIS to work properly, both chip selects
need to be set to GPCM mode, otherwise writes to the chip select base
addresses will not actually post to the local bus -- they'll go to the
NAND controller instead.  Therefore, we need to set BR0 and BR1 to GPCM
mode before switching to indirect mode.
