      Pull misc kbuild changes from Michal Marek:
       "Here is the non-critical part of kbuild:
         - One bogus coccinelle check removed, one check fixed not to suggest
           the obsolete PTR_RET macro
         - scripts/tags.sh does not index the generated *.mod.c files
         - new objdiff tool to list differences between two versions of an
           object file
         - A fix for scripts/bootgraph.pl"
      
      * 'misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
        scripts/coccinelle: Use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO
        scripts/bootgraph.pl: Add graphic header
        scripts: objdiff: detect object code changes between two commits

      sym53c8xx_2: Set DID_REQUEUE return code when aborting squeue · fd1232b2
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      This patch fixes I/O errors with the sym53c8xx_2 driver when the disk
      returns QUEUE FULL status.
      
      When the controller encounters an error (including QUEUE FULL or BUSY
      status), it aborts all not yet submitted requests in the function
      sym_dequeue_from_squeue.
      
      This function aborts them with DID_SOFT_ERROR.
      
      If the disk has full tag queue, the request that caused the overflow is
      aborted with QUEUE FULL status (and the scsi midlayer properly retries
      it until it is accepted by the disk), but the sym53c8xx_2 driver aborts
      the following requests with DID_SOFT_ERROR --- for them, the midlayer
      does just a few retries and then signals the error up to sd.
      
      The result is that disk returning QUEUE FULL causes request failures.
      
      The error was reproduced on 53c895 with COMPAQ BD03685A24 disk
      (rebranded ST336607LC) with command queue 48 or 64 tags.  The disk has
      64 tags, but under some access patterns it return QUEUE FULL when there
      are less than 64 pending tags.  The SCSI specification allows returning
      QUEUE FULL anytime and it is up to the host to retry.

      powerpc: Don't try to set LPCR unless we're in hypervisor mode · 18aa0da3
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Commit 8f619b54 ("powerpc/ppc64: Do not turn AIL (reloc-on
      interrupts) too early") added code to set the AIL bit in the LPCR
      without checking whether the kernel is running in hypervisor mode.  The
      result is that when the kernel is running as a guest (i.e., under
      PowerKVM or PowerVM), the processor takes a privileged instruction
      interrupt at that point, causing a panic.  The visible result is that
      the kernel hangs after printing "returning from prom_init".
      
      This fixes it by checking for hypervisor mode being available before
      setting LPCR.  If we are not in hypervisor mode, we enable relocation-on
      interrupts later in pSeries_setup_arch using the H_SET_MODE hcall.
