memory_hotplug_max() uses hot_add_drconf_memory_max() to get maxmimum addressable memory by referring to ibm,dyanamic-memory property. There are three problems with the current approach: 1 hot_add_drconf_memory_max() assumes that ibm,dynamic-memory includes all the LMBs of the guest, but that is not true for PowerKVM which populates only DR LMBs (LMBs that can be hotplugged/removed) in that property. 2 hot_add_drconf_memory_max() multiplies lmb-size with lmb-count to arrive at the max possible address. Since ibm,dynamic-memory doesn't include RMA LMBs, the address thus obtained will be less than the actual max address. For example, if max possible memory size is 32G, with lmb-size of 256MB there can be 127 LMBs in ibm,dynamic-memory (1 LMB for RMA which won't be present here). hot_add_drconf_memory_max() would then return the max addressable memory as 127 * 256MB = 31.75GB, the max address should have been 32G which is what ibm,lrdr-capacity shows. 3 In PowerKVM, there can be a gap between the end of boot time RAM and beginning of hotplug RAM area. So just multiplying lmb-count with lmb-size will not provide the correct max possible address for PowerKVM. This patch fixes 1 by using ibm,lrdr-capacity property to return the max addressable memory whenever the property is present. Then it fixes 2 & 3 by fetching the address of the last LMB in ibm,dynamic-memory property.

There is an ordering issue with spin_unlock_wait() on powerpc, because the spin_lock primitive is an ACQUIRE and an ACQUIRE is only ordering the load part of the operation with memory operations following it. Therefore the following event sequence can happen: CPU 1 CPU 2 CPU 3 ================== ==================== ============== spin_unlock(&lock); spin_lock(&lock): r1 = *lock; // r1 == 0; o = object; o = READ_ONCE(object); // reordered here object = NULL; smp_mb(); spin_unlock_wait(&lock); *lock = 1; smp_mb(); o->dead = true; < o = READ_ONCE(object); > // reordered upwards if (o) // true BUG_ON(o->dead); // true!! To fix this, we add a "nop" ll/sc loop in arch_spin_unlock_wait() on ppc, the "nop" ll/sc loop reads the lock value and writes it back atomically, in this way it will synchronize the view of the lock on CPU1 with that on CPU2. Therefore in the scenario above, either CPU2 will fail to get the lock at first or CPU1 will see the lock acquired by CPU2, both cases will eliminate this bug. This is a similar idea as what Will Deacon did for ARM64 in: d86b8da0 ("arm64: spinlock: serialise spin_unlock_wait against concurrent lockers") Furthermore, if the "nop" ll/sc figures out the lock is locked, we actually don't need to do the "nop" ll/sc trick again, we can just do a normal load+check loop for the lock to be released, because in that case, spin_unlock_wait() is called when someone is holding the lock, and the store part of the "nop" ll/sc happens before the lock release of the current lock holder: "nop" ll/sc -> spin_unlock() and the lock release happens before the next lock acquisition: spin_unlock() -> spin_lock() <next holder> which means the "nop" ll/sc happens before the next lock acquisition: "nop" ll/sc -> spin_unlock() -> spin_lock() <next holder> With a smp_mb() preceding spin_unlock_wait(), the store of object is guaranteed to be observed by the next lock holder: STORE -> smp_mb() -> "nop" ll/sc -> spin_unlock() -> spin_lock() <next holder> This patch therefore fixes the issue and also cleans the arch_spin_unlock_wait() a little bit by removing superfluous memory barriers in loops and consolidating the implementations for PPC32 and PPC64 into one.

We're approaching 20 locations where we need to check for ELF ABI v2. That's fine, except the logic is a bit awkward, because we have to check that _CALL_ELF is defined and then what its value is. So check it once in asm/types.h and define PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 when ELF ABI v2 is detected. We also have a few places where what we're really trying to check is that we are using the 64-bit v1 ABI, ie. function descriptors. So also add a #define for that, which simplifies several checks.

It should be 0. Remove an extraneous get_device(), and call cdev_del() followed by device_del() in gpiochip_remove() instead and the count goes to zero and calls the release() function properly. - Fix a compile warning due to a missing #include in the OF/device tree portions. - Select ANON_INODES for GPIOLIB, we're using that for our character device.

Until now, hitting this BUG_ON caused a recursive oops (because oops handling involves do_exit(), which calls into the scheduler, which in turn raises an oops), which caused stuff below the stack to be overwritten until a panic happened (e.g. via an oops in interrupt context, caused by the overwritten CPU index in the thread_info).

This prevents stacking filesystems (ecryptfs and overlayfs) from using procfs as lower filesystem. There is too much magic going on inside procfs, and there is no good reason to stack stuff on top of procfs. (For example, procfs does access checks in VFS open handlers, and ecryptfs by design calls open handlers from a kernel thread that doesn't drop privileges or so.)
