Now that the coherency_init() function is called a bit earlier, we can actually read the physical address of the coherency unit registers from the Device Tree, and communicate that to the headsmp.S code, which avoids hardcoding a physical address.

Now that we have removed the need of the static I/O mapping for early initialization reasons, and fixed the registers area length that were broken, we can get rid of the static I/O mapping. Only the earlyprintk mapping needs to be set up, using the debug_ll_io_init() helper function.

Current, the L2 cache and the mvebu-mbus drivers are initialized at ->init_early() time. However, at ->init_early() time, ioremap() only works if a static I/O mapping has already been put in place. If it's not the case, it tries to do a memory allocation with kmalloc() which is not possible so early at this stage of the initialization. Since we want to get rid of the static I/O mapping, we cannot initialize the L2 cache driver and the mvebu-mbus driver so early. So, we move their initialization to the ->init_time() level, which is slightly later (so ioremap() works properly), but sufficiently early to be before the call of the ->smp_prepare_cpus() hook, which creates an address decoding window for the BootROM, which requires the mvebu-mbus driver to be properly initialized.

Now that the coherency_get_cpu_count() function no longer requires a very early mapping of the coherency unit registers, we can avoid the hardcoded virtual address in coherency.c. However, the coherency features are still used quite early, so we need to do the of_iomap() early enough, at the ->init_timer() level, so we have the call of coherency_init() at this point. Unfortunately, at ->init_timer() time, it is not possible to register a bus notifier, so we add a separate coherency_late_init() function that gets called as as postcore_initcall(), when bus notifiers are available.

The ->smp_init_cpus() function is called very early during boot, at a point where dynamic I/O mappings are not yet possible. However, in the Armada 370/XP implementation of this function, we have to get the number of CPUs. We used to do that by accessing a hardware register, which requires relying on a static I/O mapping set up by ->map_io(). Not only this requires hardcoding a virtual address, but it also prevents us from removing the static I/O mapping. So this commit changes the way used to get the number of CPUs: we now use the Device Tree, which is a representation of the hardware, and provides us the number of available CPUs. This is also more accurate, because it potentially allows to boot the Linux kernel on only a number of CPUs given by the Device Tree, instead of unconditionally on all CPUs. As a consequence, the coherency_get_cpu_count() function becomes no longer used, so we remove it.

If enabled, CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO scans on PC-like hardware for various super-io chips by accessing i/o ports in a range which will crash any parisc hardware at once. In addition, parisc has it's own incompatible superio chip (CONFIG_SUPERIO), so if we disable PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO completely for parisc we can avoid that people by accident enable the parport_pc superio option too.

'path.bc[i]' can be asigned by PCI_SLOT() which can '> 10', so sizeof(6 * "%u:" + "%u" + '\0') may be 21. Since 'name' length is 20, it may be memory overflow. And 'path.bc[i]' is 'unsigned char' for printing, we can be sure the max length of 'name' must be less than 28. So simplify thinking, we can use 28 instead of 20 directly, and do not think of whether 'patchc.bc[i]' can '> 100'.

There's also one powerpc KVM patch that I requested that adds two missing functions to our in-kernel interrupt controller support which is itself a new 3.10 feature. These are defined by the base hypervisor specification. We didn't implement them originally because Linux doesn't use them but they are simple and I'm not comfortable having a half-implemented interface in 3.10 and having to deal with versionning etc... later when something starts needing those calls. They cannot be emulated in qemu when using in-kernel interrupt controller (not enough shared state).

Adam Lackorzynski reported the following build failure on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU configuration: CC arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.o arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c: In function ‘rtas_cpu_state_change_mask’: arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:843:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘cpu_down’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.o] Error 1 make: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel] Error 2 The build fails because cpu_down() is defined only under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. Looking further, the mobility code in pseries is one of the call-sites which uses rtas_ibm_suspend_me(), which in turn calls rtas_cpu_state_change_mask(). And the mobility code is unconditionally compiled-in (it does not fall under any Kconfig option). And commit 120496ac (powerpc: Bring all threads online prior to migration/hibernation) which introduced this build regression is critical for the proper functioning of the migration code. So it appears that the only solution to this problem is to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU if SMP is enabled on PPC_PSERIES platforms. So make that change in the Kconfig.

This adds the remaining two hypercalls defined by PAPR for manipulating the XICS interrupt controller, H_IPOLL and H_XIRR_X. H_IPOLL returns information about the priority and pending interrupts for a virtual cpu, without changing any state. H_XIRR_X is like H_XIRR in that it reads and acknowledges the highest-priority pending interrupt, but it also returns the timestamp (timebase register value) from when the interrupt was first received by the hypervisor. Currently we just return the current time, since we don't do any software queueing of virtual interrupts inside the XICS emulation code. These hcalls are not currently used by Linux guests, but may be in future.

Commit a9c4e541 "powerpc/kprobe: Complete kprobe and migrate exception frame" introduced a regression: While returning from exception handling in case of PREEMPT enabled, _TIF_NEED_RESCHED bit is checked in TI_FLAGS (thread_info flag) of current task. Only if this bit is set, it should continue with the process of calling preempt_schedule_irq() to schedule highest priority task if available. Current code assumes that r8 contains TI_FLAGS and check this for _TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but as r8 is modified in the code which executes before this check, r8 no longer contains the expected TI_FLAGS information. As a result check for comparison with _TIF_NEED_RESCHED was failing even if NEED_RESCHED bit is set in the current thread_info flag. Due to this, preempt_schedule_irq() and in turn scheduler was not getting called even if highest priority task is ready for execution. So, store temporary results in r0 instead of r8 to prevent r8 from getting modified as subsequent code is dependent on its value.

This results in no samples. The solution is to default to the "timer" type, instead. The raw entry also should be updated, as "ppc64/ibm-compat-v1" indicates to oprofile userspace to use "compatibility events" which are obsolete in ISA 2.07.

When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with the stack. It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin. The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that returns before a tend. In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed transactional memory state. If we write over this non transactionally or in suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be valid anymore. To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated state. This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be written below the stack required for the rollback. The transaction is aborted becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the signal will be rolled back anyway. For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer.

If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional suspend context. We need to abort these transactions and send them back to userspace for the hardware to rollback. We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the kernel will operate in the same suspend context. This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction emulations (only string instructions for now). If the user process is in an active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the failure. This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the persistent error to the user.
