      ====================
      sparc64: Driver for Oracle Data Analytics Accelerator
      
      v2:
        Revised example code and updated documentation
        New version of Hypervisor API specification
      
      Recent Oracle Sparc processors (M7 and M8) have a coprocessor which
      lives on the cpu chip. The coprocessor is called DAX (Data Analytics
      Accelerator), and is controlled via sun4v hypercalls. The programmatic
      interface to the coprocessor is somewhat unorthodox, and all commands
      and parameters are documented in detail in dax-hv-api.txt. The driver
      API is described in oracle-dax.txt, which has been expanded with new
      example code along with detailed explanations to demonstrate how user
      and kernel code can use the capabilities of DAX.  Those who wish to
      use the coprocessor in the kernel will need to construct their own
      command blocks to submit, as no higher level services are provided.
      Note that it is expected that general use of the coprocessor will go
      through the companion userspace library, which has been published
      under UPL at:
      	  https://oss.oracle.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libdax.git
      This library is a comprehensive collection of higher level functions
      along with tests, documentation, and code examples. The format of the
      command control blocks is described in this library as well. Though
      the primary purpose of the coprocessor is to accelerate data analytics
      operations, it may be used for any suitable purpose.
      
      The machine descriptor identifies the device as "dax", and all
      internal documentation refers to it as "dax". But since the term "dax"
      already has other meanings and uses in Linux, we call this driver
      "oradax".

      sparc64: Oracle DAX driver · dd027328
      Rob Gardner authored
      DAX is a coprocessor which resides on the SPARC M7 (DAX1) and M8
      (DAX2) processor chips, and has direct access to the CPU's L3 caches
      as well as physical memory. It can perform several operations on data
      streams with various input and output formats.  This driver provides a
      transport mechanism and has limited knowledge of the various opcodes
      and data formats. A user space library provides high level services
      and translates these into low level commands which are then passed
      into the driver and subsequently the hypervisor and the coprocessor.
      The library is the recommended way for applications to use the
      coprocessor, and the driver interface is not intended for general use.

      mm, page_vma_mapped: Drop faulty pointer arithmetics in check_pte() · 0d665e7b
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      Tetsuo reported random crashes under memory pressure on 32-bit x86
      system and tracked down to change that introduced
      page_vma_mapped_walk().
      
      The root cause of the issue is the faulty pointer math in check_pte().
      As ->pte may point to an arbitrary page we have to check that they are
      belong to the section before doing math. Otherwise it may lead to weird
      results.
      
      It wasn't noticed until now as mem_map[] is virtually contiguous on
      flatmem or vmemmap sparsemem. Pointer arithmetic just works against all
      'struct page' pointers. But with classic sparsemem, it doesn't because
      each section memap is allocated separately and so consecutive pfns
      crossing two sections might have struct pages at completely unrelated
      addresses.
      
      Let's restructure code a bit and replace pointer arithmetic with
      operations on pfns.

        why it is required. The wbinvd should just work regardless, but there
        seems to be some system - as opposed to CPU - issue, since the wbinvd
        causes more problems later in the shutdown sequence, but wbinvd
        instructions while the system is still active are not problematic.
      
        Possibly some SMI or pending machine check issue on the affected system ]

      x86: Use __nostackprotect for sme_encrypt_kernel · 91cfc88c
      Laura Abbott authored
      Commit bacf6b49 ("x86/mm: Use a struct to reduce parameters for SME
      PGD mapping") moved some parameters into a structure.
      
      The structure was large enough to trigger the stack protection canary in
      sme_encrypt_kernel which doesn't work this early, causing reboots.
      
      Mark sme_encrypt_kernel appropriately to not use the canary.

      alpha/PCI: Fix noname IRQ level detection · 86be8993
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored
      The conversion of the alpha architecture PCI host bridge legacy IRQ
      mapping/swizzling to the new PCI host bridge map/swizzle hooks carried
      out through:
      
      commit 0e4c2eeb ("alpha/PCI: Replace pci_fixup_irqs() call with
      host bridge IRQ mapping hooks")
      
      implies that IRQ for devices are now allocated through pci_assign_irq()
      function in pci_device_probe() that is called when a driver matching a
      device is found in order to probe the device through the device driver.
      
      Alpha noname platforms required IRQ level programming to be executed
      in sio_fixup_irq_levels(), that is called in noname_init_pci(), a
      platform hook called within a subsys_initcall.
      
      In noname_init_pci(), present IRQs are detected through
      sio_collect_irq_levels() that check the struct pci_dev->irq number
      to detect if an IRQ has been allocated for the device.
      
      By the time sio_collect_irq_levels() is called, some devices may still
      have not a matching driver loaded to match them (eg loadable module)
      therefore their IRQ allocation is still pending - which means that
      sio_collect_irq_levels() does not programme the correct IRQ level for
      those devices, causing their IRQ handling to be broken when the device
      driver is actually loaded and the device is probed.
      
      Fix the issue by adding code in the noname map_irq() function
      (noname_map_irq()) that, whilst mapping/swizzling the IRQ line, it also
      ensures that the correct IRQ level programming is executed at platform
      level, fixing the issue.
      
      Fixes: 0e4c2eeb ("alpha/PCI: Replace pci_fixup_irqs() call with
      host bridge IRQ mapping hooks")
