[ Upstream commit 4ff3ba4db5943cac1045e3e4a3c0463ea10f6930 ]

Valid domain value is in range 1 to HV_PERF_DOMAIN_MAX. Current code has
check for domain value greater than or equal to HV_PERF_DOMAIN_MAX. But
the check for domain value 0 is missing.

Fix this issue by adding check for domain value 0.

Before:
  # ./perf stat -v -e hv_24x7/CPM_ADJUNCT_INST,domain=0,core=1/ sleep 1
  Using CPUID 00800200
  Control descriptor is not initialized
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 5 (Input/output error) for
  event (hv_24x7/CPM_ADJUNCT_INST,domain=0,core=1/).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

  Result from dmesg:
  [   37.819387] hv-24x7: hcall failed: [0 0x60040000 0x100 0] =&gt; ret
  0xfffffffffffffffc (-4) detail=0x2000000 failing ix=0

After:

[ Upstream commit afda85b963c12947e298ad85d757e333aa40fd74 ]

If device_register() returns error in ibmebus_bus_init(), name of kobject
which is allocated in dev_set_name() called in device_add() is leaked.

As comment of device_add() says, it should call put_device() to drop
the reference count that was set in device_initialize() when it fails,
so the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().

<title>powerpc/iommu: Fix notifiers being shared by PCI and VIO buses</title>

[ Upstream commit c37b6908f7b2bd24dcaaf14a180e28c9132b9c58 ]

fail_iommu_setup() registers the fail_iommu_bus_notifier struct to both
PCI and VIO buses.  struct notifier_block is a linked list node, so this
causes any notifiers later registered to either bus type to also be
registered to the other since they share the same node.

This causes issues in (at least) the vgaarb code, which registers a
notifier for PCI buses.  pci_notify() ends up being called on a vio
device, converted with to_pci_dev() even though it's not a PCI device,
and finally makes a bad access in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() as
discovered with KASAN:

 BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device+0x60/0xe00

The assembler says:
  arch/powerpc/kernel/head_32.S:1095: Warning: invalid register expression

It's objecting to the use of r0 as the RA argument. That's because
when RA = 0 the literal value 0 is used, rather than the content of
r0, making the use of r0 in the source potentially confusing.

Fix it to use a literal 0, the generated code is identical.

commit 98ecc6768e8fdba95da1fc1efa0ef2d769e7fe1c upstream.

When building a 32 bit powerpc kernel with Binutils 2.31.1 this warning
is emitted:

 powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.branch_lt' from
 `arch/powerpc/kernel/head_44x.o' being placed in section `.branch_lt'

As of binutils commit 2d7ad24e8726 ("Support PLT16 relocs against local
symbols")[1], 32 bit targets can produce .branch_lt sections in their
output.

Include these symbols in the .data section as the ppc64 kernel does.

<title>word-at-a-time: use the same return type for has_zero regardless of endianness</title>

[ Upstream commit 79e8328e5acbe691bbde029a52c89d70dcbc22f3 ]

Compiling big-endian targets with Clang produces the diagnostic:

  fs/namei.c:2173:13: warning: use of bitwise '|' with boolean operands [-Wbitwise-instead-of-logical]
	} while (!(has_zero(a, &amp;adata, &amp;constants) | has_zero(b, &amp;bdata, &amp;constants)));
	          ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                               ||
  fs/namei.c:2173:13: note: cast one or both operands to int to silence this warning

It appears that when has_zero was introduced, two definitions were
produced with different signatures (in particular different return
types).

Looking at the usage in hash_name() in fs/namei.c, I suspect that
has_zero() is meant to be invoked twice per while loop iteration; using
logical-or would not update `bdata` when `a` did not have zeros.  So I
think it's preferred to always return an unsigned long rather than a
bool than update the while loop in hash_name() to use a logical-or
rather than bitwise-or.

[ Upstream commit 39f49684036d24af800ff194c33c7b2653c591d7 ]

In a randconfig with CONFIG_SERIAL_CPM=m and
CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_CPM=y, there is a build error:
ERROR: modpost: "udbg_putc" [drivers/tty/serial/cpm_uart/cpm_uart.ko] undefined!

Prevent the build error by allowing PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_CPM only when
SERIAL_CPM=y.

Fixes: c374e00e17f1 ("[POWERPC] Add early debug console for CPM serial ports.")

<title>treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage</title>

commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

commit 61235b24b9cb37c13fcad5b9596d59a1afdcec30 upstream

Everything is converted over to arch_cpu_finalize_init(). Remove the
check_bugs() leftovers including the empty stubs in asm-generic, alpha,
parisc, powerpc and xtensa.

<title>powerpc: Fix defconfig choice logic when cross compiling</title>

commit af5cd05de5dd38cf25d14ea4d30ae9b791d2420b upstream.

Our logic for choosing defconfig doesn't work well in some situations.

For example if you're on a ppc64le machine but you specify a non-empty
CROSS_COMPILE, in order to use a non-default toolchain, then defconfig
will give you ppc64_defconfig (big endian):

  $ make CROSS_COMPILE=~/toolchains/gcc-8/bin/powerpc-linux- defconfig
  *** Default configuration is based on 'ppc64_defconfig'

This is because we assume that CROSS_COMPILE being set means we
can't be on a ppc machine and rather than checking we just default to
ppc64_defconfig.

We should just ignore CROSS_COMPILE, instead check the machine with
uname and if it's one of ppc, ppc64 or ppc64le then use that
defconfig. If it's none of those then we fall back to ppc64_defconfig.
