[ 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.

<title>powerpc/powernv/dump: Fix race while processing OPAL dump</title>

[ Upstream commit 0a43ae3e2beb77e3481d812834d33abe270768ab ]

Every dump reported by OPAL is exported to userspace through a sysfs
interface and notified using kobject_uevent(). The userspace daemon
(opal_errd) then reads the dump and acknowledges that the dump is
saved safely to disk. Once acknowledged the kernel removes the
respective sysfs file entry causing respective resources to be
released including kobject.

However it's possible the userspace daemon may already be scanning
dump entries when a new sysfs dump entry is created by the kernel.
User daemon may read this new entry and ack it even before kernel can
notify userspace about it through kobject_uevent() call. If that
happens then we have a potential race between
dump_ack_store-&gt;kobject_put() and kobject_uevent which can lead to
use-after-free of a kernfs object resulting in a kernel crash.

This patch fixes this race by protecting the sysfs file
creation/notification by holding a reference count on kobject until we
safely send kobject_uevent().

The function create_dump_obj() returns the dump object which if used
by caller function will end up in use-after-free problem again.
However, the return value of create_dump_obj() function isn't being
used today and there is no need as well. Hence change it to return
void to make this fix complete.

[ 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:

With a patched kernel on the same machine we're no longer seeing the
soft lockup.  drmem_init() now completes in negligible time, even when
the LMB count is large.

[ Upstream commit 67c3e59443f5fc77be39e2ce0db75fbfa78c7965 ]

The call to of_find_compatible_node() returns a node pointer with
refcount incremented thus it must be explicitly decremented here
before returning.

<title>powerpc/32s: Disable VMAP stack which CONFIG_ADB_PMU</title>

commit 4a133eb351ccc275683ad49305d0b04dde903733 upstream.

low_sleep_handler() can't restore the context from virtual
stack because the stack can hardly be accessed with MMU OFF.

For now, disable VMAP stack when CONFIG_ADB_PMU is selected.

[ Upstream commit b648a5132ca3237a0f1ce5d871fff342b0efcf8a ]

The kernel test robot pointed out a slightly different error message
after recent commit 5456ffdee666 ("powerpc/spufs: simplify spufs core
dumping") to spufs for a configuration that never worked:

   powerpc64-linux-ld: arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.o: in function `.spufs_proxydma_info_dump':
&gt;&gt; file.c:(.text+0x4c68): undefined reference to `.dump_emit'
   powerpc64-linux-ld: arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.o: in function `.spufs_dma_info_dump':
   file.c:(.text+0x4d70): undefined reference to `.dump_emit'
   powerpc64-linux-ld: arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.o: in function `.spufs_wbox_info_dump':
   file.c:(.text+0x4df4): undefined reference to `.dump_emit'

Add a Kconfig dependency to prevent this from happening again.
