Remove directly accessing device_node.type pointer and use the
accessors instead. This will eventually allow removing the type
pointer.

Replace the open coded iterating over child nodes with
for_each_child_of_node() while we're here.

<title>powerpc/cacheinfo: Report the correct shared_cpu_map on big-cores</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently on POWER9 SMT8 cores systems, in sysfs, we report the
shared_cache_map for L1 caches (both data and instruction) to be the
cpu-ids of the threads in SMT8 cores. This is incorrect since on
POWER9 SMT8 cores there are two groups of threads, each of which
shares its own L1 cache.

This patch addresses this by reporting the shared_cpu_map correctly in
sysfs for L1 caches.

Before the patch
   /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index0/shared_cpu_map : 000000ff

Now that we have a custom printf format specifier, convert users of
full_name to use %pOF instead. This is preparation to remove storing
of the full path string for each node.

<title>powerpc: Fix missing L2 cache size in /sys/devices/system/cpu</title>

<content type='text'>
This problem appears to have been introduced in 2.6.29 by commit
93197a36a9c1 "Rewrite sysfs processor cache info code".

This caused lscpu to error out on at least e500v2 devices, eg:

  error: cannot open /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index2/size: No such file or directory

Some embedded powerpc systems use cache-size in DTS for the unified L2
cache size, not d-cache-size, so we need to allow for both DTS names.
Added a new CACHE_TYPE_UNIFIED_D cache_type_info structure to handle
this.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Update dynamic cache nodes for suspend/resume operation</title>

pHyp can change cache nodes for suspend/resume operation. Currently the
device tree is updated by drmgr in userspace after all non boot CPUs are
enabled. Hence, we do not modify the cache list based on the latest cache
nodes. Also we do not remove cache entries for the primary CPU.

This patch removes the cache list for the boot CPU, updates the device tree
before enabling nonboot CPUs and adds cache list for the boot cpu.

This patch also has the side effect that older versions of drmgr will
perform a second device tree update from userspace. While this is a
redundant waste of a couple cycles it is harmless since firmware returns the
same data for the subsequent update-nodes/properties rtas calls.

<title>powerpc: Make sure "cache" directory is removed when offlining cpu</title>

<id>91b973f90c1220d71923e7efe1e61f5329806380</id>
<content type='text'>
The code in remove_cache_dir() is supposed to remove the "cache"
subdirectory from the sysfs directory for a CPU when that CPU is
being offlined.  It tries to do this by calling kobject_put() on
the kobject for the subdirectory.  However, the subdirectory only
gets removed once the last reference goes away, and the reference
being put here may well not be the last reference.  That means
that the "cache" subdirectory may still exist when the offlining
operation has finished.  If the same CPU subsequently gets onlined,
the code tries to add a new "cache" subdirectory.  If the old
subdirectory has not yet been removed, we get a WARN_ON in the
sysfs code, with stack trace, and an error message printed on the
console.  Further, we ultimately end up with an online cpu with no
"cache" subdirectory.

This fixes it by doing an explicit kobject_del() at the point where
we want the subdirectory to go away.  kobject_del() removes the sysfs
directory even though the object still exists in memory.  The object
will get freed at some point in the future.  A subsequent onlining
operation can create a new sysfs directory, even if the old object
still exists in memory, without causing any problems.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

The one instance where we add an include for init.h covers off
a case where that file was implicitly getting it from another
header which itself didn't need it.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the powerpc uses of the __cpuinit macros.  There
are no __CPUINIT users in assembly files in powerpc.
