<id>7c0482e3d055e5de056d3c693b821e39205b99ae</id>
<content type='text'>
So we have another case of paca-&gt;irq_happened getting out of
sync with the HW irq state. This can happen when a perfmon
interrupt occurs while soft disabled, as it will return to a
soft disabled but hard enabled context while leaving a stale
PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS flag set.

This patch fixes it, and also adds a test for the condition
of those flags being out of sync in arch_local_irq_restore()
when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled.

This helps catching those gremlins faster (and so far I
can't seem see any anymore, so that's good news).

Alignment was the last user of the ENABLE_INTS macro, which we can
now remove. All non-syscall exceptions now disable interrupts on
entry, they get re-enabled conditionally from C code. Don't
unconditionally re-enable in program check either, check the
original context.

We had a case where we could turn on hard interrupts while
leaving the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS bit set in the PACA. This can
in turn cause a BUG_ON() to hit in __check_irq_replay() due
to interrupt state getting out of sync.

The assembly code was also way too convoluted. Instead, we
now leave it to the C code to do the right thing which ends
up being smaller and more readable.

The H_REGISTER_VPA hcall implementation in HV Power KVM needs to pin some
guest memory pages into host memory so that they can be safely accessed
from usermode.  It does this used get_user_pages_fast().  When the VPA is
unregistered, or the VCPUs are cleaned up, these pages are released using
put_page().

However, the get_user_pages() is invoked on the specific memory are of the
VPA which could lie within hugepages.  In case the pinned page is huge,
we explicitly find the head page of the compound page before calling
put_page() on it.

At least with the latest kernel, this is not correct.  put_page() already
handles finding the correct head page of a compound, and also deals with
various counts on the individual tail page which are important for
transparent huge pages.  We don't support transparent hugepages on Power,
but even so, bypassing this count maintenance can lead (when the VM ends)
to a hugepage being released back to the pool with a non-zero mapcount on
one of the tail pages.  This can then lead to a bad_page() when the page
is released from the hugepage pool.

This removes the explicit compound_head() call to correct this bug.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Transfer padding was wrong for full-speed USB in ASIX driver, fix
    from Ingo van Lil.

 2) Propagate the negative packet offset fix into the PowerPC BPF JIT.
    From Jan Seiffert.

 3) dl2k driver's private ioctls were letting unprivileged tasks make
    MII writes and other ugly bits like that.  Fix from Jeff Mahoney.

 4) Fix TX VLAN and RX packet drops in ucc_geth, from Joakim Tjernlund.

 5) OOPS and network namespace fixes in IPVS from Hans Schillstrom and
    Julian Anastasov.

 6) Fix races and sleeping in locked context bugs in drop_monitor, from
    Neil Horman.

 7) Fix link status indication in smsc95xx driver, from Paolo Pisati.

 8) Fix bridge netfilter OOPS, from Peter Huang.

 9) L2TP sendmsg can return on error conditions with the socket lock
    held, oops.  Fix from Sasha Levin.

10) udp_diag should return meaningful values for socket memory usage,
    from Shan Wei.

11) Eric Dumazet is so awesome he gets his own section:

       Socket memory cgroup code (I never should have applied those
       patches, grumble...) made erroneous changes to
       sk_sockets_allocated_read_positive().  It was changed to
       use percpu_counter_sum_positive (which requires BH disabling)
       instead of percpu_counter_read_positive (which does not).
       Revert back to avoid crashes and lockdep warnings.

       Adjust the default tcp_adv_win_scale and tcp_rmem[2] values
       to fix throughput regressions.  This is necessary as a result
       of our more precise skb-&gt;truesize tracking.

       Fix SKB leak in netem packet scheduler.

12) New device IDs for various bluetooth devices, from Manoj Iyer,
    AceLan Kao, and Steven Harms.

13) Fix command completion race in ipw2200, from Stanislav Yakovlev.

14) Fix rtlwifi oops on unload, from Larry Finger.

15) Fix hard_mtu when adjusting hard_header_len in smsc95xx driver.
    From Stephane Fillod.

16) ehea driver registers it's IRQ before all the necessary state is
    setup, resulting in crashes.  Fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza
    Cascardo.

17) Fix PHY connection failures in davinci_emac driver, from Anatolij
    Gustschin.

18) Missing break; in switch statement in bluetooth's
    hci_cmd_complete_evt().  Fix from Szymon Janc.

19) Fix queue programming in iwlwifi, from Johannes Berg.

20) Interrupt throttling defaults not being actually programmed into the
    hardware, fix from Jeff Kirsher and Ying Cai.

21) TLAN driver SKB encoding in descriptor busted on 64-bit, fix from
    Benjamin Poirier.

22) Fix blind status block RX producer pointer deref in TG3 driver, from
    Matt Carlson.

23) Promisc and multicast are busted on ehea, fixes from Thadeu Lima de
    Souza Cascardo.

24) Fix crashes in 6lowpan, from Alexander Smirnov.

25) tcp_complete_cwr() needs to be careful to not rewind the CWND to
    ssthresh if ssthresh has the "infinite" value.  Fix from Yuchung
    Cheng.

<title>bpf jit: Let the powerpc jit handle negative offsets</title>

<content type='text'>
Now the helper function from filter.c for negative offsets is exported,
it can be used it in the jit to handle negative offsets.

First modify the asm load helper functions to handle:
- know positive offsets
- know negative offsets
- any offset

then the compiler can be modified to explicitly use these helper
when appropriate.

This fixes the case of a negative X register and allows to lift
the restriction that bpf programs with negative offsets can't
be jited.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Rivet CONFIG_EEH for pSeries platform</title>

<content type='text'>
Recently, Ryan Wang tried to compile PPC pSeries platform without
CONFIG_EEH and eventually run into errors. Nishanth Aravamudan
helped to narrow down the root cause. Actually, the pSeries platform
depends on CONFIG_EEH heavily and that won't work properly without
EEH support.

According to Ben's suggestion, the patch make CONFIG_EEH invisible
and keep it as always selected on pSeries platform.

Recently, Ryan Wang tried to compile PPC pSeries platform without
CONFIG_EEH and eventually run into errors. Nishanth Aravamudan
helped to narrow down the root cause. Actually, the pSeries platform
depends on CONFIG_EEH heavily and that won't work properly without
EEH support.

According to Ben's suggestion, the patch make CONFIG_EEH invisible
and keep it as always selected on pSeries platform.

The switch from using irq_map to irq_alloc_desc*() for managing irq
number allocations introduced new bugs in some of the powerpc
interrupt code.  Several functions rely on the value of NR_IRQS to
determine the maximum irq number that could get allocated.  However,
with sparse_irq and using irq_alloc_desc*() the maximum possible irq
number is now specified with 'nr_irqs' which may be a number larger
than NR_IRQS.  This has caused breakage on powermac when
CONFIG_NR_IRQS is set to 32.

This patch removes most of the direct references to NR_IRQS in the
powerpc code and replaces them with either a nr_irqs reference or by
using the common for_each_irq_desc() macro.  The powerpc-specific
for_each_irq() macro is removed at the same time.

Also, the Cell axon_msi driver is refactored to remove the global
build assumption on the size of NR_IRQS and instead add a limit to the
maximum irq number when calling irq_domain_add_nomap().
