[ Upstream commit 093758e3daede29cb4ce6aedb111becf9d4bfc57 ]

This commit is a guesswork, but it seems to make sense to drop this
break, as otherwise the following line is never executed and becomes
dead code. And that following line actually saves the result of
local calculation by the pointer given in function argument. So the
proposed change makes sense if this code in the whole makes sense (but I
am unable to analyze it in the whole).

[ Upstream commit 4ec1b01029b4facb651b8ef70bc20a4be4cebc63 ]

The LDC handshake could have been asynchronously triggered
after ldc_bind() enables the ldc_rx() receive interrupt-handler
(and thus intercepts incoming control packets)
and before vio_port_up() calls ldc_connect(). If that is the case,
ldc_connect() should return 0 and let the state-machine
progress.

<title>sparc64: Guard against flushing openfirmware mappings.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2e2139cdb0e65390b731914c5a8c6416664dfb71</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 4ca9a23765da3260058db3431faf5b4efd8cf926 ]

Based almost entirely upon a patch by Christopher Alexander Tobias
Schulze.

In commit db64fe02258f1507e13fe5212a989922323685ce ("mm: rewrite vmap
layer") lazy VMAP tlb flushing was added to the vmalloc layer.  This
causes problems on sparc64.

Sparc64 has two VMAP mapped regions and they are not contiguous with
eachother.  First we have the malloc mapping area, then another
unrelated region, then the vmalloc region.

This "another unrelated region" is where the firmware is mapped.

If the lazy TLB flushing logic in the vmalloc code triggers after
we've had both a module unload and a vfree or similar, it will pass an
address range that goes from somewhere inside the malloc region to
somewhere inside the vmalloc region, and thus covering the
openfirmware area entirely.

The sparc64 kernel learns about openfirmware's dynamic mappings in
this region early in the boot, and then services TLB misses in this
area.  But openfirmware has some locked TLB entries which are not
mentioned in those dynamic mappings and we should thus not disturb
them.

These huge lazy TLB flush ranges causes those openfirmware locked TLB
entries to be removed, resulting in all kinds of problems including
hard hangs and crashes during reboot/reset.

Besides causing problems like this, such huge TLB flush ranges are
also incredibly inefficient.  A plea has been made with the author of
the VMAP lazy TLB flushing code, but for now we'll put a safety guard
into our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation.

Since the implementation has become non-trivial, stop defining it as a
macro and instead make it a function in a C source file.

<title>sparc64: Do not insert non-valid PTEs into the TSB hash table.</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 18f38132528c3e603c66ea464727b29e9bbcb91b ]

The assumption was that update_mmu_cache() (and the equivalent for PMDs) would
only be called when the PTE being installed will be accessible by the user.

This is not true for code paths originating from remove_migration_pte().

There are dire consequences for placing a non-valid PTE into the TSB.  The TLB
miss frramework assumes thatwhen a TSB entry matches we can just load it into
the TLB and return from the TLB miss trap.

So if a non-valid PTE is in there, we will deadlock taking the TLB miss over
and over, never satisfying the miss.

Just exit early from update_mmu_cache() and friends in this situation.

Based upon a report and patch from Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze.

<title>locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some architectures</title>

commit 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc upstream.

The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice;
this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32,
metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.

There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to
trigger, so blacklist this.

Opt in for known good archs.

commit c177c81e09e517bbf75b67762cdab1b83aba6976 upstream.

Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support
pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're
bugs for other archs.  So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.

Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().
