      powerpc/vdso64: Use double word compare on pointers · 5045ea37
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      __kernel_get_syscall_map() and __kernel_clock_getres() use cmpli to
check if the passed in pointer is non zero. cmpli maps to a 32 bit
compare on binutils, so we ignore the top 32 bits.

A simple test case can be created by passing in a bogus pointer with
the bottom 32 bits clear. Using a clk_id that is handled by the VDSO,
then one that is handled by the kernel shows the problem:

  printf("%d\n", clock_getres(CLOCK_REALTIME, (void *)0x100000000));
  printf("%d\n", clock_getres(CLOCK_BOOTTIME, (void *)0x100000000));

And we get:

  0
  -1

The bigger issue is if we pass a valid pointer with the bottom 32 bits
clear, in this case we will return success but won't write any data
to the pointer.

I stumbled across this issue because the LLVM integrated assembler
doesn't accept cmpli with 3 arguments. Fix this by converting them to
cmpldi.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Migrate pinned pages out of CMA · 2e5bbb54
      Balbir Singh authored 
      When PCI Device pass-through is enabled via VFIO, KVM-PPC will
pin pages using get_user_pages_fast(). One of the downsides of
the pinning is that the page could be in CMA region. The CMA
region is used for other allocations like the hash page table.
Ideally we want the pinned pages to be from non CMA region.

This patch (currently only for KVM PPC with VFIO) forcefully
migrates the pages out (huge pages are omitted for the moment).
There are more efficient ways of doing this, but that might
be elaborate and might impact a larger audience beyond just
the kvm ppc implementation.

The magic is in new_iommu_non_cma_page() which allocates the
new page from a non CMA region.

I've tested the patches lightly at my end. The full solution
requires migration of THP pages in the CMA region. That work
will be done incrementally on top of this.

      drivers/pci/hotplug: Support surprise hotplug in powernv driver · 360aebd8
      Gavin Shan authored 
      This supports PCI surprise hotplug. The design is highlighted as
below:

   * The PCI slot's surprise hotplug capability is exposed through
     device node property "ibm,slot-surprise-pluggable", meaning
     PCI surprise hotplug will be disabled if skiboot doesn't support
     it yet.
   * The interrupt because of presence or link state change is raised
     on surprise hotplug event. One event is allocated and queued to
     the PCI slot for workqueue to pick it up and process in serialized
     fashion. The code flow for surprise hotplug is same to that for
     managed hotplug except: the affected PEs are put into frozen state
     to avoid unexpected EEH error reporting in surprise hot remove path.

      drivers/pci/hotplug: Remove likely() and unlikely() in powernv driver · 149ba66a
      Gavin Shan authored 
      This removes likely() and unlikely() in pnv_php.c as the code isn't
running in hot path. Those macros to affect CPU's branch stream don't
help a lot for performance. I used them to identify the cases are
likely or unlikely to happen. No logical changes introduced.
