<title>powerpc/32s: Remove TAUException wart in traps.c</title>

<content type='text'>
All 32 and 64-bit builds that don't have CONFIG_TAU_INT enabled (all
of them), get a definition of TAUException() in traps.c.

On 64-bit it's completely useless, and just wastes ~120 bytes of text.
On 32-bit it allows the kernel to link because head_32.S calls it
unconditionally.

Instead follow the example of altivec_assist_exception(), and if
CONFIG_TAU_INT is not enabled just point it at unknown_exception using
the preprocessor.

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address &gt;&gt; PMD_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;
in the files that include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include &lt;asm\/pgtable.h&gt;/ d' $f
	done

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Support for userspace to send requests directly to the on-chip GZIP
   accelerator on Power9.

 - Rework of our lockless page table walking (__find_linux_pte()) to
   make it safe against parallel page table manipulations without
   relying on an IPI for serialisation.

 - A series of fixes &amp; enhancements to make our machine check handling
   more robust.

 - Lots of plumbing to add support for "prefixed" (64-bit) instructions
   on Power10.

 - Support for using huge pages for the linear mapping on 8xx (32-bit).

 - Remove obsolete Xilinx PPC405/PPC440 support, and an associated sound
   driver.

 - Removal of some obsolete 40x platforms and associated cruft.

 - Initial support for booting on Power10.

 - Lots of other small features, cleanups &amp; fixes.

If a prefixed instruction results in an alignment exception, the
SRR1_PREFIXED bit is set. The handler attempts to emulate the
responsible instruction and then increment the NIP past it. Use
SRR1_PREFIXED to determine by how much the NIP should be incremented.

Prefixed instructions are not permitted to cross 64-byte boundaries. If
they do the alignment interrupt is invoked with SRR1 BOUNDARY bit set.
If this occurs send a SIGBUS to the offending process if in user mode.
If in kernel mode call bad_page_fault().

Prefix instructions have their own FSCR bit which needs to enabled via
a CPU feature. The kernel will save the FSCR for problem state but it
needs to be enabled initially.

If prefixed instructions are made unavailable by the [H]FSCR, attempting
to use them will cause a facility unavailable exception. Add "PREFIX" to
the facility_strings[].

Currently there are no prefixed instructions that are actually emulated
by emulate_instruction() within facility_unavailable_exception().
However, when caused by a prefixed instructions the SRR1 PREFIXED bit is
set. Prepare for dealing with emulated prefixed instructions by checking
for this bit.

Prefix instructions have their own FSCR bit which needs to enabled via
a CPU feature. The kernel will save the FSCR for problem state but it
needs to be enabled initially.

If prefixed instructions are made unavailable by the [H]FSCR, attempting
to use them will cause a facility unavailable exception. Add "PREFIX" to
the facility_strings[].

Currently there are no prefixed instructions that are actually emulated
by emulate_instruction() within facility_unavailable_exception().
However, when caused by a prefixed instructions the SRR1 PREFIXED bit is
set. Prepare for dealing with emulated prefixed instructions by checking
for this bit.

System Reset and Machine Check interrupts that are not recoverable due
to being nested or interrupting when RI=0 currently panic. This is not
necessary, and can often just kill the current context and recover.

Similarly to the previous patch, do not trace system reset. This code
is used when there is a crash or hang, and tracing disturbs the system
more and has been known to crash in the crash handling path.

machine_check_early() is taken as an NMI, so nmi_enter() is used
there. machine_check_exception() is no longer taken as an NMI (it's
invoked via irq_work in the case a machine check hits in kernel mode),
so remove the nmi_enter() from that case.

In NMI context, hash faults don't try to refill the hash table, which
can lead to crashes accessing non-pinned kernel pages. System reset
still has this potential problem.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.
