commit 05af40e885955065aee8bb7425058eb3e1adca08 upstream.

This commit fixes a stack corruption in the pseries specific code dealing
with the huge pages.

In __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() the buffer used to pass arguments
to the hypervisor is not large enough. This leads to a stack corruption
where a previously saved register could be corrupted leading to unexpected
result in the caller, like the following panic:

Most of the time, the bug is surfacing in a caller up in the stack from
__pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() which is quite confusing.

This bug is pending since v3.11 but was hidden if a caller of the
caller of __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() has pushed the corruped
register (r18 in this case) in the stack and is not using it until
restoring it. GCC 6.2.0 seems to raise it more frequently.

This commit also change the definition of the parameter buffer in
pSeries_lpar_flush_hash_range() to rely on the global define
PLPAR_HCALL9_BUFSIZE (no functional change here).

On ppc64le, builds with CONFIG_KEXEC=n fail with:

arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/setup.c: In function ‘pseries_big_endian_exceptions’:
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/setup.c:403:13: error: implicit declaration of function ‘kdump_in_progress’
  if (rc &amp;&amp; !kdump_in_progress())

This is because pseries/setup.c includes &lt;linux/kexec.h&gt;, but
kdump_in_progress() is defined in &lt;asm/kexec.h&gt;. This is a problem
because the former only includes the latter if CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y.

Fix it by including &lt;asm/kexec.h&gt; directly, as is done in powernv/setup.c.

<title>powerpc/pseries: use pci_host_bridge.release_fn() to kfree(phb)</title>
<updated>2016-08-22T01:09:33Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Mauricio Faria de Oliveira</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=2dd9c11b9d4dfbd6c070eab7b81197f65e82f1a0'/>
<id>urn:sha1:2dd9c11b9d4dfbd6c070eab7b81197f65e82f1a0</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch leverages 'struct pci_host_bridge' from the PCI subsystem
in order to free the pci_controller only after the last reference to
its devices is dropped (avoiding an oops in pcibios_release_device()
if the last reference is dropped after pcibios_free_controller()).

The patch relies on pci_host_bridge.release_fn() (and .release_data),
which is called automatically by the PCI subsystem when the root bus
is released (i.e., the last reference is dropped).  Those fields are
set via pci_set_host_bridge_release() (e.g. in the platform-specific
implementation of pcibios_root_bridge_prepare()).

It introduces the 'pcibios_free_controller_deferred()' .release_fn()
and it expects .release_data to hold a pointer to the pci_controller.

The function implictly calls 'pcibios_free_controller()', so an user
must *NOT* explicitly call it if using the new _deferred() callback.

The functionality is enabled for pseries (although it isn't platform
specific, and may be used by cxl).

Details on not-so-elegant design choices:

 - Use 'pci_host_bridge.release_data' field as pointer to associated
   'struct pci_controller' so *not* to 'pci_bus_to_host(bridge-&gt;bus)'
   in pcibios_free_controller_deferred().

   That's because pci_remove_root_bus() sets 'host_bridge-&gt;bus = NULL'
   (so, if the last reference is released after pci_remove_root_bus()
   runs, which eventually reaches pcibios_free_controller_deferred(),
   that would hit a null pointer dereference).

   The cxl/vphb.c code calls pci_remove_root_bus(), and the cxl folks
   are interested in this fix.

<title>dma-mapping: use unsigned long for dma_attrs</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=00085f1efa387a8ce100e3734920f7639c80caa3'/>
<id>urn:sha1:00085f1efa387a8ce100e3734920f7639c80caa3</id>
<content type='text'>
The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA
attributes passed by pointer.  Thus the pointer can point to const data.
However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield.  Instead unsigned
long will do fine:

1. This is just simpler.  Both in terms of reading the code and setting
   attributes.  Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack
   and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits.

2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the
   attributes are passed by value.

Semantic patches for this change (at least most of them):

    virtual patch
    virtual context

    @r@
    identifier f, attrs;

    @@
    f(...,
    - struct dma_attrs *attrs

hpte_init_lpar() is part of the pseries platform, so name it as such.

Move the fallback implementation for when PSERIES=n into the header,
dropping the weak implementation. The panic() is now handled by the
calling code.

to after the device-tree has been expanded. This will allow further

Moving probe_machine() to after mmu init will cause the ppc_md
fields relative to the hash table management to be overwritten.

Since we have essentially disconnected the machine type from
the hash backend ops, finish the job by moving them to a different
structure.

The only callback that didn't quite fix is update_partition_table
since this is not specific to hash, so I moved it to a standalone
variable for now. We can revisit later if needed.
