[ Upstream commit 4ff753feab021242144818b9a3ba011238218145 ]

When an UE or memory error exception is encountered the MCE handler
tries to find the pfn using addr_to_pfn() which takes effective
address as an argument, later pfn is used to poison the page where
memory error occurred, recent rework in this area made addr_to_pfn
to run in real mode, which can be fatal as it may try to access
memory outside RMO region.

Have two helper functions to separate things to be done in real mode
and virtual mode without changing any functionality. This also fixes
the following error as the use of addr_to_pfn is now moved to virtual
mode.

Without this change following kernel crash is seen on hitting UE.

Add NVDIMM_FAMILY_PAPR to the list of valid 'dimm_family_mask'
acceptable by papr_scm. This is needed as since commit
92fe2aa859f5 ("libnvdimm: Validate command family indices") libnvdimm
performs a validation of 'nd_cmd_pkg.nd_family' received as part of
ND_CMD_CALL processing to ensure only known command families can use
the general ND_CMD_CALL pass-through functionality.

Without this change the ND_CMD_CALL pass-through targeting
NVDIMM_FAMILY_PAPR error out with -EINVAL.

[ Upstream commit eae9eec476d13fad9af6da1f44a054ee02b7b161 ]

POWER secure guests (i.e., guests which use the Protected Execution
Facility) need to use SWIOTLB to be able to do I/O with the
hypervisor, but they don't need the SWIOTLB memory to be in low
addresses since the hypervisor doesn't have any addressing limitation.

This solves a SWIOTLB initialization problem we are seeing in secure
guests with 128 GB of RAM: they are configured with 4 GB of
crashkernel reserved memory, which leaves no space for SWIOTLB in low
addresses.

To do this, we use mostly the same code as swiotlb_init(), but
allocate the buffer using memblock_alloc() instead of
memblock_alloc_low().

[ Upstream commit e5e179aa3a39c818db8fbc2dce8d2cd24adaf657 ]

At memory hot-remove time we can retrieve an LMB's nid from its
corresponding memory_block.  There is no need to store the nid
in multiple locations.

Note that lmb_to_memblock() uses find_memory_block() to get the
corresponding memory_block.  As find_memory_block() runs in sub-linear
time this approach is negligibly slower than what we do at present.

In exchange for this lookup at hot-remove time we no longer need to
call memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() during drmem_init() for each LMB.
On powerpc, memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() is a linear search, so this
spares us an O(n^2) initialization during boot.

On systems with many LMBs that initialization overhead is palpable and
disruptive.  For example, on a box with 249854 LMBs we're seeing
drmem_init() take upwards of 30 seconds to complete:

commit 90a9b102eddf6a3f987d15f4454e26a2532c1c98 upstream.

As per PAPR we have to look for both EPOW sensor value and event
modifier to identify the type of event and take appropriate action.

In LoPAPR v1.1 section 10.2.2 includes table 136 "EPOW Action Codes":

  SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN 3

  The system must be shut down. An EPOW-aware OS logs the EPOW error
  log information, then schedules the system to be shut down to begin
  after an OS defined delay internal (default is 10 minutes.)

Then in section 10.3.2.2.8 there is table 146 "Platform Event Log
Format, Version 6, EPOW Section", which includes the "EPOW Event
Modifier":

  For EPOW sensor value = 3
  0x01 = Normal system shutdown with no additional delay
  0x02 = Loss of utility power, system is running on UPS/Battery
  0x03 = Loss of system critical functions, system should be shutdown
  0x04 = Ambient temperature too high
  All other values = reserved

We have a user space tool (rtas_errd) on LPAR to monitor for
EPOW_SHUTDOWN_ON_UPS. Once it gets an event it initiates shutdown
after predefined time. It also starts monitoring for any new EPOW
events. If it receives "Power restored" event before predefined time
it will cancel the shutdown. Otherwise after predefined time it will
shutdown the system.

Commit 79872e35469b ("powerpc/pseries: All events of
EPOW_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN must initiate shutdown") changed our handling of
the "on UPS/Battery" case, to immediately shutdown the system. This
breaks existing setups that rely on the userspace tool to delay
shutdown and let the system run on the UPS.

The latter trace is due to the following sequence:

  page_alloc_cpu_dead
    drain_pages
      drain_pages_zone
        free_pcppages_bulk

where drain_pages() in this case is called under the assumption that
the unplugged cpu is no longer executing. To ensure that is the case,
and early call is made to __cpu_die()-&gt;pseries_cpu_die(), which runs a
loop that waits for the cpu to reach a halted state by polling its
status via query-cpu-stopped-state RTAS calls. It only polls for 25
iterations before giving up, however, and in the trace above this
results in the following being printed only .1 seconds after the
hotplug worker thread begins processing the unplug request:

  pseries-hotplug-cpu: Attempting to remove CPU &lt;NULL&gt;, drc index: 1000013a
  Querying DEAD? cpu 314 (314) shows 2

At that point the worker thread assumes the unplugged CPU is in some
unknown/dead state and procedes with the cleanup, causing the race
with the XIVE cleanup code executed by the unplugged CPU.

Fix this by waiting indefinitely, but also making an effort to avoid
spurious lockup messages by allowing for rescheduling after polling
the CPU status and printing a warning if we wait for longer than 120s.

commit 89c140bbaeee7a55ed0360a88f294ead2b95201b upstream.

Booting with a 4GB LMB size causes us to panic:

  qemu-system-ppc64: OS terminated: OS panic:
      Memory block size not suitable: 0x0

Fix pseries_memory_block_size() to handle 64 bit LMBs.

[ Upstream commit a0ff72f9f5a780341e7ff5e9ba50a0dad5fa1980 ]

In the unlikely event that the device tree lacks a /cpus node,
find_dlpar_cpus_to_add() oddly frees the cpu_drcs buffer it has been
passed before returning an error. Its only caller also frees the
buffer on error.

Remove the less conventional kfree() of a caller-supplied buffer from
find_dlpar_cpus_to_add().

<title>powerpc/rtas: don't online CPUs for partition suspend</title>

[ Upstream commit ec2fc2a9e9bbad9023aab65bc472ce7a3ca8608f ]

Partition suspension, used for hibernation and migration, requires
that the OS place all but one of the LPAR's processor threads into one
of two states prior to calling the ibm,suspend-me RTAS function:

  * the architected offline state (via RTAS stop-self); or
  * the H_JOIN hcall, which does not return until the partition
    resumes execution

Using H_CEDE as the offline mode, introduced by
commit 3aa565f53c39 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into
an appropriate offline state"), means that any threads which are
offline from Linux's point of view must be moved to one of those two
states before a partition suspension can proceed.

This was eventually addressed in commit 120496ac2d2d ("powerpc: Bring
all threads online prior to migration/hibernation"), which added code
to temporarily bring up any offline processor threads so they can call
H_JOIN. Conceptually this is fine, but the implementation has had
multiple races with cpu hotplug operations initiated from user
space[1][2][3], the error handling is fragile, and it generates
user-visible cpu hotplug events which is a lot of noise for a platform
feature that's supposed to minimize disruption to workloads.

With commit 3aa565f53c39 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU
into an appropriate offline state") reverted, this code becomes
unnecessary, so remove it. Since any offline CPUs now are truly
offline from the platform's point of view, it is no longer necessary
to bring up CPUs only to have them call H_JOIN and then go offline
again upon resuming. Only active threads are required to call H_JOIN;
stopped threads can be left alone.

[1] commit a6717c01ddc2 ("powerpc/rtas: use device model APIs and
    serialization during LPM")
[2] commit 9fb603050ffd ("powerpc/rtas: retry when cpu offline races
    with suspend/migration")
[3] commit dfd718a2ed1f ("powerpc/rtas: Fix a potential race between
    CPU-Offline &amp; Migration")
