commit 7261b956b276aa97fbf60d00f1d7717d2ea6ee78 upstream.

The patch to add it_page_shift incorrectly changed the increment of
uaddr to use it_page_shift, rather then (1 &lt;&lt; it_page_shift).

This broke booting on at least some Cell blades, as the iommu was
basically non-functional.

commit b0dd00addc5035f87ec9c5820dacc1ebc7fcb3e6 upstream.

The conversion from __get_cpu_var() to this_cpu_ptr() in iic_setup_cpu()
is wrong. It causes an oops at boot.

We need the per-cpu address of struct cpu_iic, not cpu_iic.regs-&gt;prio.

Sparse noticed this, because we pass a non-iomem pointer to out_be64(),
but we obviously don't check the sparse results often enough.

  Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes.  There
  are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been

  from Steve Capper, and although we didn't get an ack from Andrew he
  told us to take the patch through the powerpc tree.

  There's one cxl patch.  This is in drivers/misc, but Greg said he was

  There is an infrastructure patch to support an IPMI driver for OPAL.

<content type='text'>
This patch replaces calls to get_unused_fd() with equivalent call to
get_unused_fd_flags(0) to preserve current behavor for existing code.

In a further patch, get_unused_fd() will be removed so that new code start
using get_unused_fd_flags(), with the hope O_CLOEXEC could be used, either
by default or choosen by userspace.

Pull VFS changes from Al Viro:
 "First pile out of several (there _definitely_ will be more).  Stuff in
  this one:

   - unification of d_splice_alias()/d_materialize_unique()

   - iov_iter rewrite

   - killing a bunch of -&gt;f_path.dentry users (and f_dentry macro).

     Getting that completed will make life much simpler for
     unionmount/overlayfs, since then we'll be able to limit the places
     sensitive to file _dentry_ to reasonably few.  Which allows to have
     file_inode(file) pointing to inode in a covered layer, with dentry
     pointing to (negative) dentry in union one.

     Still not complete, but much closer now.

   - crapectomy in lustre (dead code removal, mostly)

   - "let's make seq_printf return nothing" preparations

   - assorted cleanups and fixes

  There _definitely_ will be more piles"

Pull irq domain updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The real interesting irq updates:

   - Support for hierarchical irq domains:

     For complex interrupt routing scenarios where more than one
     interrupt related chip is involved we had no proper representation
     in the generic interrupt infrastructure so far.  That made people
     implement rather ugly constructs in their nested irq chip
     implementations.  The main offenders are x86 and arm/gic.

     To distangle that mess we have now hierarchical irqdomains which
     seperate the various interrupt chips and connect them via the
     hierarchical domains.  That keeps the domain specific details
     internal to the particular hierarchy level and removes the
     criss/cross referencing of chip internals.  The resulting hierarchy
     for a complex x86 system will look like this:

        vector          mapped: 74
          msi-0         mapped: 2
          dmar-ir-1     mapped: 69
            ioapic-1    mapped: 4
            ioapic-0    mapped: 20
            pci-msi-2   mapped: 45
          dmar-ir-0     mapped: 3
            ioapic-2    mapped: 1
            pci-msi-1   mapped: 2
          htirq         mapped: 0

     Neither ioapic nor pci-msi know about the dmar interrupt remapping
     between themself and the vector domain.  If interrupt remapping is
     disabled ioapic and pci-msi become direct childs of the vector
     domain.

     In hindsight we should have done that years ago, but in hindsight
     we always know better :)

   - Support for generic MSI interrupt domain handling

     We have more and more non PCI related MSI interrupts, so providing
     a generic infrastructure for this is better than having all
     affected architectures implementing their own private hacks.

   - Support for PCI-MSI interrupt domain handling, based on the generic
     MSI support.

     This part carries the pci/msi branch from Bjorn Helgaas pci tree to
     avoid a massive conflict.  The PCI/MSI parts are acked by Bjorn.

  I have two more branches on top of this.  The full conversion of x86
  to hierarchical domains and a partial conversion of arm/gic"

<content type='text'>
upatepp can get called for a nohpte fault when we find from the linux
page table that the translation was hashed before. In that case
we are sure that there is no existing translation, hence we could
avoid doing tlbie.

We could possibly race with a parallel fault filling the TLB. But
that should be ok because updatepp is only ever relaxing permissions.
We also look at linux pte permission bits when filling hash pte
permission bits. We also hold the linux pte busy bits while
inserting/updating a hashpte entry, hence a paralle update of
linux pte is not possible. On the other hand mprotect involves
ptep_modify_prot_start which cause a hpte invalidate and not updatepp.

Performance number:
We use randbox_access_bench written by Anton.

The PCI/MSI irq chip callbacks mask/unmask_msi_irq have been renamed
to pci_msi_mask/unmask_irq to mark them PCI specific. Rename all usage
sites. The conversion helper functions are kept around to avoid
conflicts in next and will be removed after merging into mainline.

Coccinelle assisted conversion. No functional change.
