<title>powerpc: use device_online/offline() instead of cpu_up/down()</title>

commit 10ccaf178b2b961d8bca252d647ed7ed8aae2a20 upstream.

In powerpc pseries platform dlpar operations, use device_online() and
device_offline() instead of cpu_up() and cpu_down().

Calling cpu_up/down() directly does not update the cpu device offline
field, which is used to online/offline a cpu from sysfs. Calling
device_online/offline() instead keeps the sysfs cpu online value
correct. The hotplug lock, which is required to be held when calling
device_online/offline(), is already held when dlpar_online/offline_cpu()
are called, since they are called only from cpu_probe|release_store().

This patch fixes errors on phyp (PowerVM) systems that have cpu(s)
added/removed using dlpar operations; without this patch, the
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online nodes do not correctly show the
online state of added/removed cpus.

<title>powerpc/iommu/ddw: Fix endianness</title>

commit 9410e0185e65394c0c6d046033904b53b97a9423 upstream.

rtas_call() accepts and returns values in CPU endianness.
The ddw_query_response and ddw_create_response structs members are
defined and treated as BE but as they are passed to rtas_call() as
(u32 *) and they get byteswapped automatically, the data is CPU-endian.
This fixes ddw_query_response and ddw_create_response definitions and use.

of_read_number() is designed to work with device tree cells - it assumes
the input is big-endian and returns data in CPU-endian. However due
to the ddw_create_response struct fix, create.addr_hi/lo are already
CPU-endian so do not byteswap them.

ddw_avail is a pointer to the "ibm,ddw-applicable" property which contains
3 cells which are big-endian as it is a device tree. rtas_call() accepts
a RTAS token in CPU-endian. This makes use of of_property_read_u32_array
to byte swap and avoid the need for a number of be32_to_cpu calls.

Values acquired from Open Firmware are in 32-bit big endian format
and need to be handled on little endian architectures.  This patch
ensures values are in cpu endian when hotplugging memory.

Pull more powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here are some more powerpc bits for 3.17, essentially fixes.

  The biggest series, also aimed at -stable, is from Aneesh and is the
  result of weeks and weeks of debugging to find out why the heck or THP
  implementation was occasionally triggering multi-hit errors in our
  level 1 TLB.  It ended up being a combination of issues including
  subtleties as to how we should invalidate those special 'MPSS' pages
  we use to allow the use of 16M pages inside 4K/64K "base page size"
  segments (you really have to love our MMU !)

  Another interesting one in the "OMG" category is the series from
  Michael adding memory barriers to spin_is_locked().  That's also the
  result of many days of debugging to figure out why the semaphore code
  would occasionally crash in ways that made no sense.  It ended up
  being some creative lock stacking that was defeated by the fact that
  our locks allow a load inside the locked section to be re-ordered with
  the load of the lock value itself (I'm still of two mind about whether
  to kill that once and for all by putting a heavier barrier back into
  our lock implementation...).  The fixes come with a long explanation
  in the cset comments, feel free to read it if you feel like having a
  headache today"

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"

Function remove_ddw() could be called in of_reconfig_notifier and
we potentially remove the dynamic DMA window property, which invokes
of_reconfig_notifier again. Eventually, it leads to the deadlock as
following backtrace shows.

The patch fixes the above issue by deferring releasing the dynamic
DMA window property while releasing the device node.
