When iterating over the entries in firmware_features_table we only need
to go over the actual number of entries in the array instead of declaring
it to be bigger and checking to make sure there is a valid entry in every
slot.

This patch removes the FIRMWARE_MAX_FEATURES #define and replaces the
array looping with the use of ARRAY_SIZE().

As part of handling of PRRN events we need to check vector 5 of the
architecture vector bits reported in the device tree to ensure PRRN event
handling is enabled. To do this firmware_has_feature() is updated (in a
subsequent patch) to make this check vector 5 bits. To avoid having to
re-define bits in the architecture vector the bit definitions are moved
to prom.h.

A PRRN event is signaled via the RTAS event-scan mechanism, which
returns a Hot Plug Event message "fixed part" indicating "Platform
Resource Reassignment". In response to the Hot Plug Event message,
we must call ibm,update-nodes to determine which resources were
reassigned and then ibm,update-properties to obtain the new affinity
information about those resources.

The PRRN event-scan RTAS message contains only the "fixed part" with
the "Type" field set to the value 160 and no Extended Event Log. The
four-byte Extended Event Log Length field is re-purposed (since no
Extended Event Log message is included) to pass the "scope" parameter
that causes the ibm,update-nodes to return the nodes affected by the
specific resource reassignment.

This patch adds a handler for RTAS events. The function
pseries_devicetree_update() (from mobility.c) is used to make the
ibm,update-nodes/ibm,update-properties RTAS calls. Updating the NUMA maps
(handled by a subsequent patch) will require significant processing,
so pseries_devicetree_update() is called from an asynchronous workqueue
to allow event processing to continue.

PRRN RTAS events on pseries systems are rare events that have to be
initiated from the HMC console for the system by an IBM tech. This allows
us to assume that these events are widely spaced. Additionally, all work
on the queue is flushed before handling any new work to ensure we only have
one event in flight being handled at a time.

Correct parsing of the buffer returned from ibm,update-properties. The first

Newer firmware on Power systems can transparently reassign platform resources
(CPU and Memory) in use. For instance, if a processor or memory unit is
predicted to fail, the platform may transparently move the processing to an
equivalent unused processor or the memory state to an equivalent unused
memory unit. However, reassigning resources across NUMA boundaries may alter
the performance of the partition. When such reassignment is necessary, the
Platform Resource Reassignment Notification (PRRN) option provides a
mechanism to inform the Linux kernel of changes to the NUMA affinity of
its platform resources.

When rtasd receives a PRRN event, it needs to make a series of RTAS
calls (ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties) to retrieve the
updated device tree information. These calls are already handled in the
pseries_devicetree_update() routine used in partition migration.

This patch exposes pseries_devicetree_update() to make it accessible
to other pseries routines, this patch also updates pseries_devicetree_update()
to take a 32-bit scope parameter. The scope value, which was previously hard
coded to 1 for partition migration, is used for the RTAS calls
ibm,update-nodes/properties to update the device tree.

POWER8 allows us to take interrupts with the MMU on.  This gives us a
second set of vectors offset at 0x4000.

Unfortunately when coping these vectors we missed checking for MSR HV
for hardware interrupts (0x500).  This results in us trying to use
HSRR0/1 when HV=0, rather than SRR0/1 on HW IRQs

The below fixes this to check CPU_FTR_HVMODE when patching the code at
0x4500.

Also we remove the check for CPU_FTR_ARCH_206 since relocation on IRQs
are only available in arch 2.07 and beyond.

In __after_prom_start we copy the kernel down to zero in two calls to

we jump to the newly copied code soon after.

Unfortunately there's no isync between the copy of this code and the
jump to it.  Hence it's possible that stale instructions could still be
in the icache or pipeline before we branch to it.

We've seen this on real machines and it's results in no console output

Commit 257b5358 ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm

Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are
the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong
uid/gid ends up being used.

This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit.

For each CPU vendor that implements CPU microcode patching, there will

This can be done in the dispatch function or early in the application
functions.  Doing the latter turned out to be somewhat awkward because
of the ineviable split between the BSP and the AP paths, and rather
than pushing deep into the application functions, do this in

Bjørn Mork says:

====================
This series adds workarounds for 3 different firmware bugs, each
preventing the affected devices from working at all. I therefore
humbly request that these fixes go to stable-3.8 (if still
maintained) and 3.9 (either via net if still possible, or via
stable if not).

All 3 workarounds are applied to all devices supported by the driver.
Adding quirks for specific devices was considered as an alternative,
but was rejected because we have too little information about the
exact distribution of the buggy firmwares. All we know is that the
same bug shows up in devices from at least 3 different, and presumably
independent, vendors.

The workarounds have instead been designed to automatically apply
when necessary, and to have as little impact as possible on unaffected
devices.  The series has been tested on a number of devices both with
and without these bugs.

The series should apply cleanly to net/master, net-next/master and
stable/linux-3.8.y

We normally trust and use the CDC functional descriptors provided by a
number of devices.  But some of these will erroneously list the address

The bogus address is always the same, and matches the address
suggested by many devices as a default address.  It is likely a
hardcoded firmware default.

The circumstances where this bug has been observed indicates that
the trigger is related to timing or some other factor the host
cannot control. Repeating the exact same configuration sequence
that caused it to trigger once, will not necessarily cause it to
trigger the next time. Reproducing the bug is therefore difficult.
This opens up a possibility that the bug is more common than we can
confirm, because affected devices often will work properly again
after a reset.  A procedure most users are likely to try out before
reporting a bug.

Unconditionally rewriting the destination address if the first digit
of the received packet is 0, is considered an acceptable compromise
since we already have to inspect this digit.  The simplification will
cause unnecessary rewrites if the real address starts with 0, but this
is still better than adding additional tests for this particular case.

A number of LTE devices from different vendors all suffer from the
same firmware bug: Most of the packets received from the device while
it is attached to a LTE network will not have an ethernet header. The
devices work as expected when attached to 2G or 3G networks, sending
an ethernet header with all packets.

This driver is not aware of which network the modem attached to, and
even if it were there are still some packet types which are always
received with the header intact.

All devices supported by this driver have severely limited
networking capabilities:
 - can only transmit IPv4, IPv6 and possibly ARP
 - can only support a single host hardware address at any time
 - will only do point-to-point communcation with the host

Because of this, we are able to reliably identify any bogus raw IP
packets by simply looking at the 4 IP version bits.  All we need to
do is to avoid 4 or 6 in the first digit of the mac address.  This
workaround ensures this, and fix up the received packets as necessary.

Given the distribution of the bug, it is believed that the source is
the chipset vendor.  The devices which are verified to be affected are:
 Huawei E392u-12 (Qualcomm MDM9200)
 Pantech UML290  (Qualcomm MDM9600)
 Novatel USB551L (Qualcomm MDM9600)
 Novatel E362    (Qualcomm MDM9600)

It is believed that the bug depend on firmware revision, which means
that possibly all devices based on the above mentioned chipset may be
affected if we consider all available firmware revisions.

The information about affected devices and versions is likely
incomplete.  As the additional overhead for packets not needing this
fixup is very small, it is considered acceptable to apply the
workaround to all devices handled by this driver.
