commit 2d3862d26e67a59340ba1cf1748196c76c5787de upstream.

When loading x86 64bit kernel above 4GiB with patched grub2, got kernel
gunzip error.

| decompress_kernel:

the new buffer is at 0x46fe000000ULL, decompressor_gzip is using
0xffffffb901ffffff as out_len.  gunzip in lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c cap
that len to 0x01ffffff and decompress fails later.

We could hit this problem with crashkernel booting that uses kexec loading
kernel above 4GiB.

We have decompress_* support:
    1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
    2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
    3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
This bug only affect kernel preboot path that use outbuf[].

Add __decompress and take real out_buf_len for gunzip instead of guessing
wrong buf size.

<title>parisc: Filter out spurious interrupts in PA-RISC irq handler</title>

commit b1b4e435e4ef7de77f07bf2a42c8380b960c2d44 upstream.

When detecting a serial port on newer PA-RISC machines (with iosapic) we have a
long way to go to find the right IRQ line, registering it, then registering the
serial port and the irq handler for the serial port. During this phase spurious
interrupts for the serial port may happen which then crashes the kernel because
the action handler might not have been set up yet.

So, basically it's a race condition between the serial port hardware and the
CPU which sets up the necessary fields in the irq sructs. The main reason for
this race is, that we unmask the serial port irqs too early without having set
up everything properly before (which isn't easily possible because we need the
IRQ number to register the serial ports).

This patch is a work-around for this problem. It adds checks to the CPU irq
handler to verify if the IRQ action field has been initialized already. If not,
we just skip this interrupt (which isn't critical for a serial port at bootup).
The real fix would probably involve rewriting all PA-RISC specific IRQ code
(for CPU, IOSAPIC, GSC and EISA) to use IRQ domains with proper parenting of
the irq chips and proper irq enabling along this line.

This bug has been in the PA-RISC port since the beginning, but the crashes
happened very rarely with currently used hardware.  But on the latest machine
which I bought (a C8000 workstation), which uses the fastest CPUs (4 x PA8900,
1GHz) and which has the largest possible L1 cache size (64MB each), the kernel
crashed at every boot because of this race. So, without this patch the machine
would currently be unuseable.

For the record, here is the flow logic:
1. serial_init_chip() in 8250_gsc.c calls iosapic_serial_irq().
2. iosapic_serial_irq() calls txn_alloc_irq() to find the irq.
3. iosapic_serial_irq() calls cpu_claim_irq() to register the CPU irq
4. cpu_claim_irq() unmasks the CPU irq (which it shouldn't!)
5. serial_init_chip() then registers the 8250 port.
Problems:
- In step 4 the CPU irq shouldn't have been registered yet, but after step 5
- If serial irq happens between 4 and 5 have finished, the kernel will crash

The attached change fixes the condition used in the "sub" instruction.
A double word comparison is needed.  This fixes the 64-bit LWS CAS
operation on 64-bit kernels.

I can now enable 64-bit atomic support in GCC.

<title>powerpc/mm: Recompute hash value after a failed update</title>

commit 36b35d5d807b7e57aff7d08e63de8b17731ee211 upstream.

If we had secondary hash flag set, we ended up modifying hash value in
the updatepp code path. Hence with a failed updatepp we will be using
a wrong hash value for the following hash insert. Fix this by
recomputing hash before insert.

Without this patch we can end up with using wrong slot number in linux
pte. That can result in us missing an hash pte update or invalidate
which can cause memory corruption or even machine check.

dlpar_configure_connector() call in dlpar_cpu_probe(), but missed
to release the DRC if dlpar_configure_connector() failed.
During CPU hotplug, if configure-connector fails for any reason,
then this will result in subsequent CPU hotplug attempts to fail.

Release the acquired DRC if dlpar_configure_connector() call fails
so that the DRC is left in right isolation and allocation state
for the subsequent hotplug operation to succeed.

commit fa14486979b3a47307bcdb10f8b5baa875a5cf68 upstream.

The 32-bit TCE table initialization relies on the DMA window having a
size equal to a power of 2 (and checks for it explicitly). But
crashkernel= has no constraint that requires a power-of-2 be specified.
This causes the kdump kernel to fail to boot as none of the PCI devices
(including the disk controller) are successfully initialized.

After this change, the PCI devices successfully set up the 32-bit TCE
table and kdump succeeds.

commit fa14486979b3a47307bcdb10f8b5baa875a5cf68 upstream.

The 32-bit TCE table initialization relies on the DMA window having a
size equal to a power of 2 (and checks for it explicitly). But
crashkernel= has no constraint that requires a power-of-2 be specified.
This causes the kdump kernel to fail to boot as none of the PCI devices
(including the disk controller) are successfully initialized.

After this change, the PCI devices successfully set up the 32-bit TCE
table and kdump succeeds.

commit bb0054552d080dd929907c5925d4bedc8bf6def7 upstream.

When attempting to kdump with the 4.2 kernel, we see for each PCI
device:

 pci 0003:01     : [PE# 000] Assign DMA32 space
 pci 0003:01     : [PE# 000] Setting up 32-bit TCE table at 0..80000000
 pci 0003:01     : [PE# 000] Failed to create 32-bit TCE table, err -22
 PCI: Domain 0004 has 8 available 32-bit DMA segments
 PCI: 4 PE# for a total weight of 70
 pci 0004:01     : [PE# 002] Assign DMA32 space
 pci 0004:01     : [PE# 002] Setting up 32-bit TCE table at 0..80000000
 pci 0004:01     : [PE# 002] Failed to create 32-bit TCE table, err -22
 pci 0004:0d     : [PE# 005] Assign DMA32 space
 pci 0004:0d     : [PE# 005] Setting up 32-bit TCE table at 0..80000000
 pci 0004:0d     : [PE# 005] Failed to create 32-bit TCE table, err -22
 pci 0004:0e     : [PE# 006] Assign DMA32 space
 pci 0004:0e     : [PE# 006] Setting up 32-bit TCE table at 0..80000000
 pci 0004:0e     : [PE# 006] Failed to create 32-bit TCE table, err -22
 pci 0004:10     : [PE# 008] Assign DMA32 space
 pci 0004:10     : [PE# 008] Setting up 32-bit TCE table at 0..80000000
 pci 0004:10     : [PE# 008] Failed to create 32-bit TCE table, err -22

and eventually the kdump kernel fails to boot as none of the PCI devices
(including the disk controller) are successfully initialized.

The EINVAL response is because the DMA window (the 2GB base window) is
larger than the kdump kernel's reserved memory (crashkernel=, in this
case specified to be 1024M). The check in question,

 if ((window_size &gt; memory_hotplug_max()) || !is_power_of_2(window_size))

is a valid sanity check for pnv_pci_ioda2_table_alloc_pages(), so adjust
the caller to pass in a smaller window size if our maximum memory value
is smaller than the DMA window.

After this change, the PCI devices successfully set up the 32-bit TCE
table and kdump succeeds.

The problem was seen on a Firestone machine originally.

commit 72cd7b44bc99376b3f3c93cedcd052663fcdf705 upstream.

enable_kernel_vsx() function was commented since anything was using
it. However, vmx-crypto driver uses VSX instructions which are
only available if VSX is enable. Otherwise it rises an exception oops.

This patch uncomment enable_kernel_vsx() routine and makes it available.
