<content type='text'>
Currently we do not validate rtas.entry before calling enter_rtas(). This
leads to a kernel oops when user space calls rtas system call on a powernv
platform (see below). This patch adds code to validate rtas.entry before
making enter_rtas() call.

A late round of KVM/ARM fixes for v4.3-rc7, fixing:
 - A bug where level-triggered interrupts lowered from userspace
   are still routed to the guest
 - A memory leak an a failed initialization path
 - A build error under certain configurations
 - Several timer bugs introduced with moving the timer to the active
   state handling instead of the masking trick.

This fixes a bug where it is possible for an off-line CPU to fail to go
into a low-power state (nap/sleep/winkle), and to become unresponsive to
requests from the KVM subsystem to wake up and run a VCPU. What can
happen is that a maskable interrupt of some kind (external, decrementer,
hypervisor doorbell, or HMI) after we have called local_irq_disable() at
the beginning of pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() and before interrupts are
hard-disabled inside power7_nap/sleep/winkle(). In this situation, the
pending event is marked in the irq_happened flag in the PACA. This
pending event prevents power7_nap/sleep/winkle from going to the
requested low-power state; instead they return immediately. We don't
deal with any of these pending event flags in the off-line loop in
pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() because power7_nap et al. return 0 in this case,
so we will have srr1 == 0, and none of the processing to clear
interrupts or doorbells will be done.

Usually, the most obvious symptom of this is that a KVM guest will fail
with a console message saying "KVM: couldn't grab cpu N".

This fixes the problem by making sure we handle the irq_happened flags
properly. First, we hard-disable before the off-line loop. Once we have
hard-disabled, the irq_happened flags can't change underneath us. We
unconditionally clear the DEC and HMI flags: there is no processing of
timer interrupts while off-line, and the necessary HMI processing is all
done in lower-level code. We leave the EE and DBELL flags alone for the
first iteration of the loop, so that we won't fail to respond to a
split-core request that came in just before hard-disabling. Within the
loop, we handle external interrupts if the EE bit is set in irq_happened
as well as if the low-power state was interrupted by an external
interrupt. (We don't need to do the msgclr for a pending doorbell in
irq_happened, because doorbells are edge-triggered and don't remain
pending in hardware.) Then we clear both the EE and DBELL flags, and
once clear, they cannot be set again (until this CPU comes online again,
that is).

This also fixes the debug check to not be done when we just ran a KVM
guest or when the sleep didn't happen because of a pending event in
irq_happened.
