commit a69e2fb70350a66f91175cd2625f1e8215c5b6e9 upstream.

The CPPR (Current Processor Priority Register) of a XICS interrupt
presentation controller contains a value N, such that only interrupts
with a priority "more favoured" than N will be received by the CPU,
where "more favoured" means "less than". So if the CPPR has the value 5
then only interrupts with a priority of 0-4 inclusive will be received.

In theory the CPPR can support a value of 0 to 255 inclusive.
In practice Linux only uses values of 0, 4, 5 and 0xff. Setting the CPPR
to 0 rejects all interrupts, setting it to 0xff allows all interrupts.
The values 4 and 5 are used to differentiate IPIs from external
interrupts. Setting the CPPR to 5 allows IPIs to be received but not
external interrupts.

The CPPR emulation in the OPAL XICS implementation only directly
supports priorities 0 and 0xff. All other priorities are considered
equivalent, and mapped to a single priority value internally. This means
when using icp-opal we can not allow IPIs but not externals.

This breaks Linux's use of priority values when a CPU is hot unplugged.
After migrating IRQs away from the CPU that is being offlined, we set
the priority to 5, meaning we still want the offline CPU to receive
IPIs. But the effect of the OPAL XICS emulation's use of a single
priority value is that all interrupts are rejected by the CPU. With the
CPU offline, and not receiving IPIs, we may not be able to wake it up to
bring it back online.

The first part of the fix is in icp_opal_set_cpu_priority(). CPPR values
of 0 to 4 inclusive will correctly cause all interrupts to be rejected,
so we pass those CPPR values through to OPAL. However if we are called
with a CPPR of 5 or greater, the caller is expecting to be able to allow
IPIs but not external interrupts. We know this doesn't work, so instead
of rejecting all interrupts we choose the opposite which is to allow all
interrupts. This is still not correct behaviour, but we know for the
only existing caller (xics_migrate_irqs_away()), that it is the better
option.

The other part of the fix is in xics_migrate_irqs_away(). Instead of
setting priority (CPPR) to 0, and then back to 5 before migrating IRQs,
we migrate the IRQs before setting the priority back to 5. This should
have no effect on an ICP backend with a working set_priority(), and on
icp-opal it means we will keep all interrupts blocked until after we've
finished doing the IRQ migration. Additionally we wait for 5ms after
doing the migration to make sure there are no IRQs in flight.

commit 9b256714979fad61ae11d90b53cf67dd5e6484eb upstream.

The IPIs come in as HVI not EE, so we need to test the appropriate
SRR1 bits. The encoding is such that it won't have false positives
on P7 and P8 so we can just test it like that. We also need to handle
the icp-opal variant of the flush.

<title>powerpc/icp-opal: Fix missing KVM case and harden replay</title>

commit 9728a7c8ab2f7a1c8d5c95278d2e4f4ac1285385 upstream.

The icp-opal call is missing the code from icp-native to recover
interrupts snatched by KVM. Without that, when running KVM, we can
get into a situation where an interrupt is lost and the CPU stuck
with an elevated CPPR.

Also harden replay by always checking the return from opal_int_eoi().

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:

 - EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
   checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
   working on a patch to fix this.

   Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
   change prototypes.

 - Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
   Piggin

 - fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.

 - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
   -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections

 - CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell

 - fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me.

* 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: (22 commits)
  initramfs: Escape colons in depfile
  ppc: there is no clear_pages to export
  powerpc/64: whitelist unresolved modversions CRCs
  kbuild: -ffunction-sections fix for archs with conflicting sections
  kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile
  kbuild: allow archs to select link dead code/data elimination

<title>powerpc/fsl_pci: Size upper inbound window based on RAM size</title>

This allows PCI devices that can only address (e.g.) 36 or 40 bit DMA to
use direct DMA, at the cost of not being able to DMA to non-RAM addresses
(this doesn't affect MSIs as there is a separate dedicated window for
that) which we wouldn't have been able to do anyway if the RAM size didn't
trigger the creation of the second inbound window.

It also fixes an off-by-one error that set dma_direct_ops on PCI devices
whose dma mask could address all the space below the DMA offset
(previously 40 bits), but not the window that starts at the DMA offset.

Commit 0e6e01ff694ee ("CPM/QE: use genalloc to manage CPM/QE muram")
has changed the way muram is managed.
genalloc uses kmalloc(), hence requires the SLAB to be up and running.

On powerpc 8xx, cpm_reset() is called early during startup.
cpm_reset() then calls cpm_muram_init() before SLAB is available,
hence the following Oops.

cpm_reset() cannot be called during initcalls because the CPM is
needed for console.

This patch removes the call to cpm_muram_init() from cpm_reset().
cpm_muram_init() will be called from a new function called cpm_init()
which is declared as subsys_initcall, unless cpm_muram_alloc() is
called earlier for the serial console in which case cpm_muram_init()
will be called from there.

The reason for calling it from two places is that some drivers
(e.g. i2c-cpm) need some of the initialisations done by
cpm_muram_init() but don't call cpm_muram_alloc(). The console
driver calls cpm_muram_alloc() but some platforms might not use
the CPM serial ports for console.
