      powerpc/64s: Fix power4_fixup_nap placement · 7c8cb4b5
      Nicholas Piggin authored
      power4_fixup_nap is called from the "common" handlers, not the virt/real
      handlers, therefore it should itself be a common handler. Placing it
      down in the trampoline space caused it to go out of reach of its
      callers, requiring a trampoline inserted at the start of the text
      section, which breaks the fixed section address calculations.

      powerpc/pseries: Fix stack corruption in htpe code · 05af40e8
      Laurent Dufour authored
      This commit fixes a stack corruption in the pseries specific code dealing
      with the huge pages.
      
      In __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() the buffer used to pass arguments
      to the hypervisor is not large enough. This leads to a stack corruption
      where a previously saved register could be corrupted leading to unexpected
      result in the caller, like the following panic:

      Most of the time, the bug is surfacing in a caller up in the stack from
      __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() which is quite confusing.
      
      This bug is pending since v3.11 but was hidden if a caller of the
      caller of __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() has pushed the corruped
      register (r18 in this case) in the stack and is not using it until
      restoring it. GCC 6.2.0 seems to raise it more frequently.
      
      This commit also change the definition of the parameter buffer in
      pSeries_lpar_flush_hash_range() to rely on the global define
      PLPAR_HCALL9_BUFSIZE (no functional change here).
