[ Upstream commit ea608a01d4ee66f8b51070e623f9adb8684c0dd4 ]

Add suspend hook and a 'suspended' field in the 'struct tegra_bpmp'
to mark if BPMP is suspended. Also, add a 'flags' field in the
'struct tegra_bpmp_message' whose 'TEGRA_BPMP_MESSAGE_RESET' bit can be
set from the Tegra MC driver to signal that the reset of BPMP IPC
channels is required before sending MRQ to the BPMP FW. Together both
the fields allow us to handle any requests that might be sent too soon
as they can cause hang during system resume.

One case where we see BPMP requests being sent before the BPMP driver
has resumed is the memory bandwidth requests which are triggered by
onlining the CPUs during system resume. The CPUs are onlined before the
BPMP has resumed and we need to reset the BPMP IPC channels to handle
these requests.

The additional check for 'flags' is done to avoid any un-intended BPMP
IPC reset if the tegra_bpmp_transfer*() API gets called during suspend
sequence after the BPMP driver is suspended.

<title>firmware: arm_ffa: Allow the FF-A drivers to use 32bit mode of messaging</title>

[ Upstream commit 2d698e8b4fd22374dac0a2d5150ab24d57a222ab ]

An FF-A ABI could support both the SMC32 and SMC64 conventions.
A callee that runs in the AArch64 execution state and implements such
an ABI must implement both SMC32 and SMC64 conventions of the ABI.

So the FF-A drivers will need the option to choose the mode irrespective
of FF-A version and the partition execution mode flag in the partition
information.

Let us remove the check on the FF-A version for allowing the selection
of 32bit mode of messaging. The driver will continue to set the 32-bit
mode if the partition execution mode flag specified that the partition
supports only 32-bit execution.

[ Upstream commit 7d0bc6360f17ea323ab25939a34857123d7d87e5 ]

Commit 19b8766459c4 ("firmware: arm_ffa: Fix FFA device names for logical
partitions") added an ID to the FFA device using ida_alloc() and append
the same to "arm-ffa" to make up a unique device name. However it missed
to stash the id value in ffa_dev to help freeing the ID later when the
device is destroyed.

Due to the missing/unassigned ID in FFA device, we get the following
warning when the FF-A device is unregistered.

<title>firmware: ti_sci: Mark driver as non removable</title>

[ Upstream commit 7b7a224b1ba1703583b25a3641ad9798f34d832a ]

The TI-SCI message protocol provides a way to communicate between
various compute processors with a central system controller entity. It
provides the fundamental device management capability and clock control
in the SOCs that it's used in.

The remove function failed to do all the necessary cleanup if
there are registered users. Some things are freed however which
likely results in an oops later on.

Ensure that the driver isn't unbound by suppressing its bind and unbind
sysfs attributes. As the driver is built-in there is no way to remove
device once bound.

We can also remove the ti_sci_remove call along with the
ti_sci_debugfs_destroy as there are no callers for it any longer.

Michael reported soft lockups on a system that has unaccepted memory.
This occurs when a user attempts to allocate and accept memory on
multiple CPUs simultaneously.

The root cause of the issue is that memory acceptance is serialized with
a spinlock, allowing only one CPU to accept memory at a time. The other
CPUs spin and wait for their turn, leading to starvation and soft lockup
reports.

To address this, the code has been modified to release the spinlock
while accepting memory. This allows for parallel memory acceptance on
multiple CPUs.

A newly introduced "accepting_list" keeps track of which memory is
currently being accepted. This is necessary to prevent parallel
acceptance of the same memory block. If a collision occurs, the lock is
released and the process is retried.

Such collisions should rarely occur. The main path for memory acceptance
is the page allocator, which accepts memory in MAX_ORDER chunks. As long
as MAX_ORDER is equal to or larger than the unit_size, collisions will
never occur because the caller fully owns the memory block being
accepted.

Aside from the page allocator, only memblock and deferered_free_range()
accept memory, but this only happens during boot.

The code has been tested with unit_size == 128MiB to trigger collisions
and validate the retry codepath.

Now that the x86 EFI stub calls into some APIs exposed by the
decompressor (e.g., kaslr_get_random_long()), it is necessary to ensure
that the global boot_params variable is set correctly before doing so.

Note that the decompressor and the kernel proper carry conflicting
declarations for the global variable 'boot_params' so refer to it via an
alias to work around this.
