      Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here are some more powerpc fixes for 3.14

  The main one is a nasty issue with the NUMA balancing support which
  requires a small generic change and the addition of a new accessor to
  set _PAGE_NUMA.  Both have been reviewed and acked by Mel and Rik.

  The changelog should have plenty of details but basically, without
  this fix, we get random user segfaults and/or corruptions due to
  missing TLB/hash flushes.  Aneesh series of 3 patches fixes it.

  We have some vDSO vs.  perf fixes from Anton, some small EEH fixes
  from Gavin, a ppc32 regression vs the stack overflow detector, and a
  fix for the way we handle PCIe host bridge speed settings on pseries
  (which is needed for proper operations of AMD graphics cards on
  Power8)"

      printk: fix syslog() overflowing user buffer · e4178d80
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This is not a buffer overflow in the traditional sense: we don't
overflow any *kernel* buffers, but we do mis-count the amount of data we
copy back to user space for the SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL case.

In particular, if the user buffer is too small to hold everything, and
*if* there is a continuation line at just the right place, we can end up
giving the user more data than he asked for.

The reason is that we first count up the number of bytes all the log
records contains, then we walk the records again until we've skipped the
records at the beginning that won't fit, and then we walk the rest of
the records and copy them to the user space buffer.

And in between that "skip the initial records that won't fit" and the
"copy the records that *will* fit to user space", we reset the 'prev'
variable that contained the record information for the last record not
copied.  That meant that when we started copying to user space, we now
had a different character count than what we had originally calculated
in the first record walk-through.

The fix is to simply not clear the 'prev' flags value (in both cases
where we had the same logic: syslog_print_all and kmsg_dump_get_buffer:
the latter is used for pstore-like dumping)

      powerpc/eeh: Disable EEH on reboot · 66f9af83
      Gavin Shan authored 
      We possiblly detect EEH errors during reboot, particularly in kexec
path, but it's impossible for device drivers and EEH core to handle
or recover them properly.

The patch registers one reboot notifier for EEH and disable EEH
subsystem during reboot. That means the EEH errors is going to be
cleared by hardware reset or second kernel during early stage of
PCI probe.

      powerpc/powernv: Rework EEH reset · 5b2e198e
      Gavin Shan authored 
      When doing reset in order to recover the affected PE, we issue
hot reset on PE primary bus if it's not root bus. Otherwise, we
issue hot or fundamental reset on root port or PHB accordingly.
For the later case, we didn't cover the situation where PE only
includes root port and it potentially causes kernel crash upon
EEH error to the PE.

The patch reworks the logic of EEH reset to improve the code
readability and also avoid the kernel crash.

      powerpc: Use unstripped VDSO image for more accurate profiling data · 24b659a1
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      We are seeing a lot of hits in the VDSO that are not resolved by perf.
A while(1) gettimeofday() loop shows the issue:

27.64%  [vdso]  [.] 0x000000000000060c
22.57%  [vdso]  [.] 0x0000000000000628

 2.94%  [vdso]  [.] __kernel_datapage_offset
 2.90%  test    [.] main

We are using a stripped VDSO image which means only symbols with
relocation info can be resolved. There isn't a lot of point to
stripping the VDSO, the debug info is only about 1kB:

4680 arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/vdso64.so
5815 arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/vdso64.so.dbg

By using the unstripped image, we can resolve all the symbols in the
VDSO and the perf profile data looks much better:

76.53%  [vdso]  [.] __do_get_tspec
12.20%  [vdso]  [.] __kernel_gettimeofday

      powerpc: Link VDSOs at 0x0 · a0a4419e
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      perf is failing to resolve symbols in the VDSO. A while (1)
gettimeofday() loop shows:

93.99%  [vdso]  [.] 0x00000000000005e0
 3.12%  test    [.] 00000037.plt_call.gettimeofday@@GLIBC_2.18
 2.81%  test    [.] main

The reason for this is that we are linking our VDSO shared libraries
at 1MB, which is a little weird. Even though this is uncommon, Alan
points out that it is valid and we should probably fix perf userspace.

Regardless, I can't see a reason why we are doing this. The code
is all position independent and we never rely on the VDSO ending
up at 1M (and we never place it there on 64bit tasks).

Changing our link address to 0x0 fixes perf VDSO symbol resolution:

73.18%  [vdso]  [.] 0x000000000000060c
12.39%  [vdso]  [.] __kernel_gettimeofday
 3.58%  test    [.] 00000037.plt_call.gettimeofday@@GLIBC_2.18
 2.94%  [vdso]  [.] __kernel_datapage_offset
 2.90%  test    [.] main

We still have some local symbol resolution issues that will be
fixed in a subsequent patch.

      mm: Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bit · 56eecdb9
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored 
      Archs like ppc64 doesn't do tlb flush in set_pte/pmd functions when using
a hash table MMU for various reasons (the flush is handled as part of
the PTE modification when necessary).

ppc64 thus doesn't implement flush_tlb_range for hash based MMUs.

Additionally ppc64 require the tlb flushing to be batched within ptl locks.

The reason to do that is to ensure that the hash page table is in sync with
linux page table.

We track the hpte index in linux pte and if we clear them without flushing
hash and drop the ptl lock, we can have another cpu update the pte and can
end up with duplicate entry in the hash table, which is fatal.

We also want to keep set_pte_at simpler by not requiring them to do hash
flush for performance reason. We do that by assuming that set_pte_at() is
never *ever* called on a PTE that is already valid.

This was the case until the NUMA code went in which broke that assumption.

Fix that by introducing a new pair of helpers to set _PAGE_NUMA in a
way similar to ptep/pmdp_set_wrprotect(), with a generic implementation
using set_pte_at() and a powerpc specific one using the appropriate
mechanism needed to keep the hash table in sync.

      powerpc/mm: Add new "set" flag argument to pte/pmd update function · 88247e8d
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored 
      pte_update() is a powerpc-ism used to change the bits of a PTE
when the access permission is being restricted (a flush is
potentially needed).

It uses atomic operations on when needed and handles the hash
synchronization on hash based processors.

It is currently only used to clear PTE bits and so the current
implementation doesn't provide a way to also set PTE bits.

The new _PAGE_NUMA bit, when set, is actually restricting access
so it must use that function too, so this change adds the ability
for pte_update() to also set bits.

We will use this later to set the _PAGE_NUMA bit.

This vector definition is used by the platform firmware to export the
maximum and current link speeds of the PCI bus via the

      Kleber Sacilotto de Souza authored 
      Commit 5091f0c9 (powerpc/pseries: Fix PCIE link speed endian issue)
introduced a regression on the PCI link speed detection using the
device-tree property. The ibm,pcie-link-speed-stats property is composed
of two 32-bit integers, the first one being the maxinum link speed and
the second the current link speed. The changes introduced by the
aforementioned commit are considering just the first integer.

Fix this issue by changing how the property is accessed, using the
helper functions to properly access the array of values. The explicit
byte swapping is not needed anymore here, since it's done by the helper
functions.
