<id>urn:sha1:c0b0e8d3666ccd7faa037a763cb6d837bf9c4f32</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7122beeee7bc1757682049780179d7c216dd1c83 upstream.

The following commit breaks numa distance setup for old powerpc
systems that use form0 encoding in device tree.

commit 41eab6f88f24124df89e38067b3766b7bef06ddb
powerpc/numa: Use form 1 affinity to setup node distance

Device tree node /rtas/ibm,associativity-reference-points would
index into /cpus/PowerPCxxxx/ibm,associativity based on form0 or
form1 encoding detected by ibm,architecture-vec-5 property.

All modern systems use form1 and current kernel code is correct.
However, on older systems with form0 encoding, the numa distance
will get hard coded as LOCAL_DISTANCE for all nodes.  This causes
task scheduling anomaly since scheduler will skip building numa
level domain (topmost domain with all cpus) if all numa distances
are same.  (value of 'level' in sched_init_numa() will remain 0)

Prior to the above commit:
((from) == (to) ? LOCAL_DISTANCE : REMOTE_DISTANCE)

Restoring compatible behavior with this patch for old powerpc systems
with device tree where numa distance are encoded as form0.

commit af81d7878c641629f2693ae3fdaf74b4af14dfca upstream.

Now we use ESID_BITS of kernel address to build proto vsid. So rename
USER_ESIT_BITS to ESID_BITS

<title>powerpc: Update kernel VSID range</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7684eb4f4596ca2b83932a7e9b76c5b125d7838e</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c60ac5693c47df32a2b4b18af97fca5635def015 upstream.

This patch change the kernel VSID range so that we limit VSID_BITS to 37.
This enables us to support 64TB with 65 bit VA (37+28). Without this patch
we have boot hangs on platforms that only support 65 bit VA.

With this patch we now have proto vsid generated as below:

We first generate a 37-bit "proto-VSID". Proto-VSIDs are generated
from mmu context id and effective segment id of the address.

For user processes max context id is limited to ((1ul &lt;&lt; 19) - 5)
for kernel space, we use the top 4 context ids to map address as below
0x7fffc -  [ 0xc000000000000000 - 0xc0003fffffffffff ]
0x7fffd -  [ 0xd000000000000000 - 0xd0003fffffffffff ]
0x7fffe -  [ 0xe000000000000000 - 0xe0003fffffffffff ]
0x7ffff -  [ 0xf000000000000000 - 0xf0003fffffffffff ]

Commit f5339277eb8d3aed37f12a27988366f68ab68930 accidentally removed
more than just iSeries bits and took out the call to stab_initialize()
thus breaking support for POWER3 processors.

Put it back. (Yes, nobody noticed until now ...)

<title>powerpc/mm: Fix hash computation function</title>

<content type='text'>
The ASM version of hash computation function was truncating the upper bit.
Make the ASM version similar to hpt_hash function. Remove masking vsid bits.
Without this patch, we observed hang during bootup due to not satisfying page
fault request correctly. The fault handler used wrong hash values to update
the HPTE. Hence we kept looping with page fault.

<title>POWERPC: drivers: remove __dev* attributes.</title>

<content type='text'>
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Pull powerpc update from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "The main highlight is probably some base POWER8 support.  There's more
  to come such as transactional memory support but that will wait for
  the next one.

  Overall it's pretty quiet, or rather I've been pretty poor at picking
  things up from patchwork and reviewing them this time around and Kumar
  no better on the FSL side it seems..."

Merge misc VM changes from Andrew Morton:
 "The rest of most-of-MM.  The other MM bits await a slab merge.

  This patch includes the addition of a huge zero_page.  Not a
  performance boost but it an save large amounts of physical memory in
  some situations.

  Also a bunch of Fujitsu engineers are working on memory hotplug.
  Which, as it turns out, was badly broken.  About half of their patches
  are included here; the remainder are 3.8 material."

However, this merge disables CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE, which was totally
broken.  We don't add new features with "default y", nor do we add
Kconfig questions that are incomprehensible to most people without any
help text.  Does the feature even make sense without compaction or
memory hotplug?

out_of_memory() is a globally defined function to call the oom killer.
x86, sh, and powerpc all use a function of the same name within file scope
in their respective fault.c unnecessarily.  Inline the functions into the
pagefault handlers to clean the code up.
