On PA-Semi firmware, the instance-to-package callback doesn't seem
to be implemented. We didn't check for error, however, thus
subsequently passed the -1 value returned into stdout_node to
thins like prom_getprop etc...

Thus caused the firmware to load values around 0 (physical) internally
as node structures. It somewhat "worked" as long as we had a NULL in the
right place (address 8) at the beginning of the kernel, we didn't "see"
the bug. But commit 5c0484e2
"powerpc: Endian safe trampoline" changed the kernel entry point causing
that old bug to now cause a crash early during boot.

This fixes booting on PA-Semi board by properly checking the return
value from instance-to-package.

Commit 5c0484e2 ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') resulted in
losing proper alignment of the spinlock variables used when booting
secondary CPUs, causing some quite odd issues with failing to boot on
PA Semi-based systems.

This showed itself on ppc64_defconfig, but not on pasemi_defconfig,
so it had gone unnoticed when I initially tested the LE patch set.

Fix is to add explicit alignment instead of relying on good luck. :)

[ It appears that there is a different issue with PA Semi systems
  however this fix is definitely correct so applying anyway -- BenH

The powerpc 64-bit __copy_tofrom_user() function uses shifts to handle
unaligned invocations.  However, these shifts were designed for
big-endian systems: On little-endian systems, they must shift in the
opposite direction.

This commit relies on the C preprocessor to insert the correct shifts
into the assembly code.

In EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON() we check to see if the stack pointer (r1)
is valid when coming from the kernel.  If it's not valid, we die but
with a nice oops message.

Currently we allocate a stack frame (subtract INT_FRAME_SIZE) before we
check to see if the stack pointer is negative.  Unfortunately, this
won't detect a bad stack where r1 is less than INT_FRAME_SIZE.

This patch fixes the check to compare the modified r1 with
-INT_FRAME_SIZE.  With this, bad kernel stack pointers (including NULL
pointers) are correctly detected again.

The current logic sets the kdump base to min of 2G or ppc64_rma_size/2.
On PowerNV kernel the first memory block 'memory@0' can be very large,
equal to the DIMM size with ppc64_rma_size value capped to 1G. Hence on
PowerNV, kdump base is set to 512M resulting kdump to fail while allocating
paca array. This is because, paca need its memory from RMA region capped
at 256M (see allocate_pacas()).

In pte_alloc_one(), pgtable_page_ctor() is passed an address that has
not been converted by page_address() to the newly allocated PTE page.

When the PTE is freed, __pte_free_tlb() calls pgtable_page_dtor()
with an address to the PTE page that has been converted by page_address().
The mismatch in the PTE's page address causes pgtable_page_dtor() to access
invalid memory, so resources for that PTE (such as the page lock) is not
properly cleaned up.

On PPC32, only SMP kernels are affected.

On PPC64, only SMP kernels with 4K page size are affected.

This bug was introduced by commit d614bb04
"powerpc: Move the pte free routines from common header".

On a preempt-rt kernel, a spinlock is dynamically allocated for each
PTE in pgtable_page_ctor().  When the PTE is freed, calling
pgtable_page_dtor() with a mismatched page address causes a memory leak,
as the pointer to the PTE's spinlock is bogus.

On mainline, there isn't any immediately obvious symptoms, but the
problem still exists here.

As soon as we get back to our "highmem" handler in virtual address

that we replay interrupts and all the lazy logic thinks we have

We call a C helper to save all svcpu fields into our vcpu. The C
ABI states that r12 is considered volatile. However, we keep our
exit handler id in r12 currently.

So we need to save it away into a non-volatile register instead
that definitely does get preserved across the C call.

This bug usually didn't hit anyone yet since gcc is smart enough
to generate code that doesn't even need r12 which means it stayed
identical throughout the call by sheer luck. But we can't rely on
that.

for tmp_part->header.name:
    it is "Terminating null required only for names < 12 chars".
    so need to limit the %.12s for it in printk

  additional info:

    %12s  limit the width, not for the original string output length
          if name length is more than 12, it still can be fully displayed.
          if name length is less than 12, the ' ' will be filled before name.

    %.12s truly limit the original string output length (precision)

In a recent patch:
  commit c13f20ac
  Author: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org>
  powerpc/signals: Mark VSX not saved with small contexts

We fixed an issue but an improved solution was later discussed after the patch
was merged.

Firstly, this patch doesn't handle the 64bit signals case, which could also hit
this issue (but has never been reported).

Secondly, the original patch isn't clear what MSR VSX should be set to.  The
new approach below always clears the MSR VSX bit (to indicate no VSX is in the
context) and sets it only in the specific case where VSX is available (ie. when
VSX has been used and the signal context passed has space to provide the
state).

This reverts the original patch and replaces it with the improved solution.  It
also adds a 64 bit version.

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP option is used in kernel, makedumpfile fails
to filter vmcore dump as it fails to do vmemmap translations. So far
dump filtering on ppc64 never had to deal with vmemmap addresses seperately
as vmemmap regions where mapped in zone normal. But with the inclusion of
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP config option in kernel, this vmemmap address
translation support becomes necessary for dump filtering. For vmemmap adress
translation, few kernel symbols are needed by dump filtering tool. This patch
adds those symbols to vmcoreinfo, which a dump filtering tool can use for
filtering the kernel dump. Tested this changes successfully with makedumpfile
tool that supports vmemmap to physical address translation outside zone normal.
