Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Some nice cleanups like removing bootmem, and removal of
  __get_cpu_var().

  There is one patch to mm/gup.c.  This is the generic GUP
  implementation, but is only used by us and arm(64).  We have an ack
  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
  happy for us to manage fixes for it.

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

  There is also an RTC driver for OPAL.  We weren't able to get any
  response from the RTC maintainer, Alessandro Zummo, so in the end we
  just merged the driver.

  The usual batch of Freescale updates from Scott"

<title>of/reconfig: Always use the same structure for notifiers</title>

<content type='text'>
The OF_RECONFIG notifier callback uses a different structure depending
on whether it is a node change or a property change. This is silly, and
not very safe. Rework the code to use the same data structure regardless
of the type of notifier.

The H_SET_MODE hcall returns H_P2 if a function is not implemented
and all callers should handle this case.

The call to enable relocation on exceptions currently prints an error
message if the feature is not implemented. While H_SET_MODE was
first introduced on POWER8 (which has relocation on exceptions), it
has been now added on some POWER7 configurations (which does not).

Check for H_P2 and print an informational message instead.

<title>powerpc: Convert power off logic to pm_power_off</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9178ba294b6839eeff1a91bed95515d783f3ee6c</id>
<content type='text'>
The generic Linux framework to power off the machine is a function pointer
called pm_power_off. The trick about this pointer is that device drivers can
potentially implement it rather than board files.

Today on powerpc we set pm_power_off to invoke our generic full machine power
off logic which then calls ppc_md.power_off to invoke machine specific power
off.

However, when we want to add a power off GPIO via the "gpio-poweroff" driver,
this card house falls apart. That driver only registers itself if pm_power_off
is NULL to ensure it doesn't override board specific logic. However, since we
always set pm_power_off to the generic power off logic (which will just not
power off the machine if no ppc_md.power_off call is implemented), we can't
implement power off via the generic GPIO power off driver.

To fix this up, let's get rid of the ppc_md.power_off logic and just always use
pm_power_off as was intended. Then individual drivers such as the GPIO power off
driver can implement power off logic via that function pointer.

With this patch set applied and a few patches on top of QEMU that implement a
power off GPIO on the virt e500 machine, I can successfully turn off my virtual
machine after halt.

Pull device tree updates from Grant Likely:
 "The branch contains the following device tree changes the v3.17 merge
  window:

  Group changes to the device tree.  In preparation for adding device
  tree overlay support, OF_DYNAMIC is reworked so that a set of device
  tree changes can be prepared and applied to the tree all at once.
  OF_RECONFIG notifiers see the most significant change here so that
  users always get a consistent view of the tree.  Notifiers generation
  is moved from before a change to after it, and notifiers for a group
  of changes are emitted after the entire block of changes have been
  applied

  Automatic console selection from DT.  Console drivers can now use
  of_console_check() to see if the device node is specified as a console
  device.  If so then it gets added as a preferred console.  UART
  devices get this support automatically when uart_add_one_port() is
  called.

  DT unit tests no longer depend on pre-loaded data in the device tree.
  Data is loaded dynamically at the start of unit tests, and then
  unloaded again when the tests have completed.

  Also contains a few bugfixes for reserved regions and early memory
  setup"

A lot of the code in platforms/pseries is using non-machine initcalls.
That means if a kernel built with pseries support runs on another
platform, for example powernv, the initcalls will still run.

Most of these cases are OK, though sometimes only due to luck. Some were
having more effect:

 * hcall_inst_init
  - Checking FW_FEATURE_LPAR which is set on ps3 &amp; celleb.
 * mobility_sysfs_init
  - created sysfs files unconditionally
  - but no effect due to ENOSYS from rtas_ibm_suspend_me()
 * apo_pm_init
  - created sysfs, allows write
  - nothing checks the value written to though
 * alloc_dispatch_log_kmem_cache
  - creating kmem_cache on non-pseries machines

There are a bunch of users open coding the for_each_node_by_name() by
calling of_find_node_by_name() directly instead of using the macro. This
is getting in the way of some cleanups, and the possibility of removing
of_find_node_by_name() entirely. Clean it up so that all the users are
consistent.

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window.  It got
  a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part
  because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer
  ack in it.  Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll
  probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack.

  There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I
  still want to sort through and test.

  The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel
  with our new v2 ABI.  We previously supported v2 userspace but the
  kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack.  This is now sorted mostly
  thanks to Anton and Rusty.

  We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for
  64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper.  This was made harder by the fact that
  traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE
  toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there
  but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it.  This
  meant more churn that just endian fixes.

  This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in
  LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the
  right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the
  right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes.

  There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we
  *will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!).

  Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on
  P8 by Michael.  This allows a P8 core to be split into "sub cores" of
  4 threads which allows the subcores to run different guests under KVM
  (the HW still doesn't support a partition per thread).

  And then the usual misc bits and fixes ..."
