Commit 550ddadcc758 ("tty: hvc: hvc_write() may sleep") broke the
termination condition in case the driver stops accepting characters.
This can result in unnecessary polling of the busy driver.

Restore it by testing the hvc_push return code.

Commit ec97eaad1383 ("tty: hvc: hvc_poll() break hv read loop")
removes get_chars batching entirely, which slows down large console
operations like paste -- virtio console "feels worse than a 9600 baud
serial line," reports Matteo.

This adds back batching in a more latency friendly way. If the caller
can sleep then we try to fill the entire flip buffer, releasing the
lock and scheduling between each iteration. If it can not sleep, then
batches are limited to 128 bytes. Matteo confirms this fixes the
performance problem.

Latency testing the powerpc OPAL console with OpenBMC UART with a
large paste shows about 0.25ms latency, which seems reasonable. 10ms
latencies were typical for this case before the latency breaking work,
so we still see most of the benefit.

Commit ec97eaad1383 ("tty: hvc: hvc_poll() break hv read loop") causes
the virtio console to hang at times (e.g., if you paste a bunch of
characters to it.

The reason is that get_chars must return 0 before we can be sure the
driver will kick or poll input again, but this change only scheduled a
poll if get_chars had returned a full count. Change this to poll on
any &gt; 0 count.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - An implementation for the newly added hv_ops-&gt;flush() for the OPAL
   hvc console driver backends, I forgot to apply this after merging the
   hvc driver changes before the merge window.

 - Enable all PCI bridges at boot on powernv, to avoid races when
   multiple children of a bridge try to enable it simultaneously. This
   is a workaround until the PCI core can be enhanced to fix the races.

 - A fix to query PowerVM for the correct system topology at boot before
   initialising sched domains, seen in some configurations to cause
   broken scheduling etc.

 - A fix for pte_access_permitted() on "nohash" platforms.

 - Two commits to fix SIGBUS when using remap_pfn_range() seen on Power9
   due to a workaround when using the nest MMU (GPUs, accelerators).

 - Another fix to the VFIO code used by KVM, the previous fix had some
   bugs which caused guests to not start in some configurations.

 - A handful of other minor fixes.

Pull core signal handling updates from Eric Biederman:
 "It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
  sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
  This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.

  This set of changes is split into several parts:

   - The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
     something only for very special cases. The part starts using
     PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
     actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
     of processes or just a single process.

   - With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
     that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
     appear to be received after the fork completes"

Pull core signal handling updates from Eric Biederman:
 "It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
  sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
  This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.

  This set of changes is split into several parts:

   - The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
     something only for very special cases. The part starts using
     PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
     actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
     of processes or just a single process.

   - With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
     that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
     appear to be received after the fork completes"

Provide the flush hv_op for the opal hvc driver. This will flush the
firmware console buffers without spinning with interrupts disabled.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the bit set of char/misc drivers for 4.19-rc1

  There is a lot here, much more than normal, seems like everyone is
  writing new driver subsystems these days... Anyway, major things here
  are:

   - new FSI driver subsystem, yet-another-powerpc low-level hardware
     bus

   - gnss, finally an in-kernel GPS subsystem to try to tame all of the
     crazy out-of-tree drivers that have been floating around for years,
     combined with some really hacky userspace implementations. This is
     only for GNSS receivers, but you have to start somewhere, and this
     is great to see.

  Other than that, there are new slimbus drivers, new coresight drivers,
  new fpga drivers, and loads of DT bindings for all of these and
  existing drivers.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - A fix for a bug in our page table fragment allocator, where a page
     table page could be freed and reallocated for something else while
     still in use, leading to memory corruption etc. The fix reuses
     pt_mm in struct page (x86 only) for a powerpc only refcount.

   - Fixes to our pkey support. Several are user-visible changes, but
     bring us in to line with x86 behaviour and/or fix outright bugs.
     Thanks to Florian Weimer for reporting many of these.

   - A series to improve the hvc driver &amp; related OPAL console code,
     which have been seen to cause hardlockups at times. The hvc driver
     changes in particular have been in linux-next for ~month.

   - Increase our MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to 128TB when SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y.

   - Remove Power8 DD1 and Power9 DD1 support, neither chip should be in
     use anywhere other than as a paper weight.

   - An optimised memcmp implementation using Power7-or-later VMX
     instructions

   - Support for barrier_nospec on some NXP CPUs.

   - Support for flushing the count cache on context switch on some IBM
     CPUs (controlled by firmware), as a Spectre v2 mitigation.

   - A series to enhance the information we print on unhandled signals
     to bring it into line with other arches, including showing the
     offending VMA and dumping the instructions around the fault.
