In commit ae91d60ba88ef0bdb1b5e9b2363bd52fc45d2af7, a bug was fixed that
involved converting !x &amp; y to !(x &amp; y).  The code below shows the same
pattern, and thus should perhaps be fixed in the same way.

This is not tested and clearly changes the semantics, so it is only
something to consider.

The Coccinelle semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@ expression E1,E2; @@
(
  !E1 &amp; !E2
|
- !E1 &amp; E2
+ !(E1 &amp; E2)
)
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

<title>powerpc/mpic_msgr: Use kcalloc and correct the argument to sizeof</title>

mpic_msgrs has type struct mpic_msgr **, not struct mpic_msgr *, so the
elements of the array should have pointer type, not structure type.
The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which
could result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and
it is also a bit nicer to read.

The Coccinelle semantic patch that makes the first change is as follows:

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@disable sizeof_type_expr@
type T;
T **x;
@@

  x =
  &lt;+...sizeof(
- T
+ *x

The DART table allocation is registered to kmemleak via the
memblock_alloc_base() call. However, the DART table is later unmapped
and dart_tablebase VA no longer accessible. This patch tells kmemleak
not to scan this block and avoid an unhandled paging request.

This patch enables POWER8 doorbell IPIs on powernv.

Since doorbells can only IPI within a core, we test to see when we can use
doorbells and if not we fall back to XICS.  This also enables hypervisor
doorbells to wakeup us up from nap/sleep via the LPCR PECEDH bit.

Based on tests by Anton, the best case IPI latency between two threads dropped
from 894ns to 512ns.

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window.  It got
  a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part
  because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer
  ack in it.  Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll
  probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack.

  There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I
  still want to sort through and test.

  The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel
  with our new v2 ABI.  We previously supported v2 userspace but the
  kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack.  This is now sorted mostly
  thanks to Anton and Rusty.

  We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for
  64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper.  This was made harder by the fact that
  traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE
  toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there
  but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it.  This
  meant more churn that just endian fixes.

  This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in
  LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the
  right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the
  right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes.

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window.  It got
  a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part
  because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer
  ack in it.  Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll
  probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack.

  There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I
  still want to sort through and test.

  The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel
  with our new v2 ABI.  We previously supported v2 userspace but the
  kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack.  This is now sorted mostly
  thanks to Anton and Rusty.

  We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for
  64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper.  This was made harder by the fact that
  traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE
  toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there
  but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it.  This
  meant more churn that just endian fixes.

  This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in
  LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the
  right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the
  right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes.

  There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we
  *will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!).
