commit f6bf0fa14cf848ae770e0b7842c9b11ce2f01645 upstream.

During error recovery, the device could be removed as part of the
partial hotplug. The criterion used to come with partial hotplug
is: if the device driver provides error_detected(), slot_reset()
and resume() callbacks, it's immune from hotplug. Otherwise,
it's going to experience partial hotplug during EEH recovery. But
the criterion isn't correct enough: mlx4_core driver for Mellanox
adapters provides error_detected(), slot_reset() callbacks, but
resume() isn't there. Those Mellanox adapters won't be to involved
in the partial hotplug.

This fixes the criterion to a practical one: adpater with driver
that provides error_detected(), slot_reset() will be immune from
partial hotplug. resume() isn't mandatory.

commit 760a7364f27d974d100118d88190e574626e18a6 upstream.

In the old DABR register, the BT (Breakpoint Translation) bit
is bit number 61. In the new DAWRX register, the WT (Watchpoint
Translation) bit is bit number 59. So to move the DABR-BT bit
into the position of the DAWRX-WT bit, it has to be shifted by
two, not only by one. This fixes hardware watchpoints in gdb of
older guests that only use the H_SET_DABR/X interface instead
of the new H_SET_MODE interface.

<title>powerpc/ioda: Set "read" permission when "write" is set</title>

commit 6ecad912a0073c768db1491c27ca55ad2d0ee68f upstream.

Quite often drivers set only "write" permission assuming that this
includes "read" permission as well and this works on plenty of
platforms. However IODA2 is strict about this and produces an EEH when
"read" permission is not set and reading happens.

This adds a workaround in the IODA code to always add the "read" bit
when the "write" bit is set.

commit 1bc74f1ccd457832dc515fc1febe6655985fdcd2 upstream.

When PCI bus is unplugged during full hotplug for EEH recovery,
the platform PE instance (struct pnv_ioda_pe) isn't released and
it dereferences the stale PCI bus that has been released. It leads
to kernel crash when referring to the stale PCI bus.

This fixes the issue by correcting the PE's primary bus when it's
oneline at plugging time, in pnv_pci_dma_bus_setup() which is to
be called by pcibios_fixup_bus().

commit 05ba75f848647135f063199dc0e9f40fee769724 upstream.

When PE is created, its primary bus is cached to pe-&gt;bus. At later
point, the cached primary bus is returned from eeh_pe_bus_get().
However, we could get stale cached primary bus and run into kernel
crash in one case: full hotplug as part of fenced PHB error recovery
releases all PCI busses under the PHB at unplugging time and recreate
them at plugging time. pe-&gt;bus is still dereferencing the PCI bus
that was released.

This adds another PE flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) to represent the validity
of pe-&gt;bus. pe-&gt;bus is updated when its first child EEH device is
online and the flag is set. Before unplugging in full hotplug for
error recovery, the flag is cleared.

In eeh_pe_loc_get(), the PE location code is retrieved from the
"ibm,loc-code" property of the device node for the bridge of the
PE's primary bus. It's not correct because the property indicates
the parent PE's location code.

This reads the correct PE location code from "ibm,io-base-loc-code"
or "ibm,slot-location-code" property of PE parent bus's device node.

commit a61674bdfc7c2bf909c4010699607b62b69b7bec upstream.

GCC 6 will include changes to generated code with -mcmodel=large,
which is used to build kernel modules on powerpc64le.  This was
necessary because the large model is supposed to allow arbitrary
sizes and locations of the code and data sections, but the ELFv2
global entry point prolog still made the unconditional assumption
that the TOC associated with any particular function can be found
within 2 GB of the function entry point:

func:
	addis r2,r12,(.TOC.-func)@ha
	addi  r2,r2,(.TOC.-func)@l
	.localentry func, .-func

To remove this assumption, GCC will now generate instead this global
entry point prolog sequence when using -mcmodel=large:

	.quad .TOC.-func
func:
	.reloc ., R_PPC64_ENTRY
	ld    r2, -8(r12)
	add   r2, r2, r12
	.localentry func, .-func

The new .reloc triggers an optimization in the linker that will
replace this new prolog with the original code (see above) if the
linker determines that the distance between .TOC. and func is in
range after all.

Since this new relocation is now present in module object files,
the kernel module loader is required to handle them too.  This
patch adds support for the new relocation and implements the
same optimization done by the GNU linker.

commit 81d7a3294de7e9828310bbf986a67246b13fa01e upstream.

According to memory-barriers.txt, xchg*, cmpxchg* and their atomic_
versions all need to be fully ordered, however they are now just
RELEASE+ACQUIRE, which are not fully ordered.

So also replace PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER and PPC_ACQUIRE_BARRIER with
PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER and PPC_ATOMIC_EXIT_BARRIER in
__{cmp,}xchg_{u32,u64} respectively to guarantee fully ordered semantics
of atomic{,64}_{cmp,}xchg() and {cmp,}xchg(), as a complement of commit
b97021f85517 ("powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semantics")

This patch depends on patch "powerpc: Make value-returning atomics fully
ordered" for PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER definition.

commit 81d7a3294de7e9828310bbf986a67246b13fa01e upstream.

According to memory-barriers.txt, xchg*, cmpxchg* and their atomic_
versions all need to be fully ordered, however they are now just
RELEASE+ACQUIRE, which are not fully ordered.

So also replace PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER and PPC_ACQUIRE_BARRIER with
PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER and PPC_ATOMIC_EXIT_BARRIER in
__{cmp,}xchg_{u32,u64} respectively to guarantee fully ordered semantics
of atomic{,64}_{cmp,}xchg() and {cmp,}xchg(), as a complement of commit

commit 49e9cf3f0c04bf76ffa59242254110309554861d upstream.

According to memory-barriers.txt:

&gt; Any atomic operation that modifies some state in memory and returns
&gt; information about the state (old or new) implies an SMP-conditional
&gt; general memory barrier (smp_mb()) on each side of the actual
&gt; operation ...

Which mean these operations should be fully ordered. However on PPC,
PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER is the barrier before the actual operation,
which is currently "lwsync" if SMP=y. The leading "lwsync" can not
guarantee fully ordered atomics, according to Paul Mckenney:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/14/970

To fix this, we define PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER as "sync" to guarantee
the fully-ordered semantics.

This also makes futex atomics fully ordered, which can avoid possible
memory ordering problems if userspace code relies on futex system call
for fully ordered semantics.

Fixes: b97021f85517 ("powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semantics")
