sys_subpage_prot() takes an unsigned long for 'addr' then does some stuff
with it and the result is stored in a signed int, i, which is eventually
used as the size parameter in a copy_from_user call. Update 'i' to be an
unsigned long as well and since 'nw' is used in a size_t context which,
depending on whether this is 32- or 64-bit may be unsigned int or unsigned
long, switch that to a size_t and always be right.
Finally, since we're in the neighbourhood, make the same changes to
subpage_prot_clear().

While EEH module is installed, PCI devices is checked one by one
to see if it supports eeh. On different platforms, the PCI devices
are referred through different ways when the EEH module is loaded.
For example, on pSeries platform, that is done by OF node. However,
we would do that by real PCI devices (struct pci_dev) on PowerNV
platform in future. So we needs some mechanism to differentiate
those cases by classifying them to probe modes, either from OF
nodes or real PCI devices.
The patch implements the support to eeh probe mode. Also, the
EEH on pSeries has set it into EEH_PROBE_MODE_DEVTREE. That means
the probe will be done based on OF nodes on pSeries platform.
In addition, On pSeries platform, it's done by OF nodes. The patch

As defined in PAPR 2.4, Partitionable Endpoint (PE) is an I/O subtree
that can be treated as a unit for the purposes of partitioning and error
recovery. Therefore, eeh core should be aware of PE. With eeh_pe struct,
we can support PE explicitly. Further more, it makes all the stuff much
more data centralized. Another important reason is for eeh core to support
multiple platforms. Some of them like pSeries figures out PEs through
OF nodes while others like powernv have to do that through PCI bus/device
tree. With explicit PE support, eeh core will be implemented based on
the centrialized data and platform dependent implementations figure it
out by their feasible ways.
When the struct is designed, following factors are taken in account:
* Reflecting the relationships of PEs. PE might have parent
as well children.
* Reflecting the association of PE and (eeh) devices.
* PEs have PHB boundary.
* PE should have unique address assigned in the corresponding
PHB domain.

The powerpc kernel doesn't export the memory limit enforced by 'mem='
kernel parameter. This is required for building the ELF header in
kexec-tools to limit the vmcore to capture only the used memory. On
powerpc the kexec-tools depends on the device-tree for memory related
information, unlike /proc/iomem on the x86.
Without this information, the kexec-tools assumes the entire System
RAM and vmcore creates an unnecessarily larger dump.
This patch exports the memory limit, if present, via
chosen/linux,memory-limit
property, so that the vmcore can be limited to the memory limit.
The prom_init seems to export this value in the same node. But doesn't
really
appear there. Also the memory_limit gets adjusted with the processing of
crashkernel= parameter. This patch makes sure we get the actual limit.
The kexec-tools will use the value to limit the 'end' of the memory
regions.

2) (struct resource *)crashk_res.start - We could export a local static

Starting with Power 7+ we need to check for marked events if the SIAR
register is valid, i.e. it contains the correct address of the instruction
at the time the performance counter overflowed. The mmcra register on
Power 7+, contains a new bit to indicate that the contents of the SIAR
is valid. If the event is not marked, then the sample is recorded
independently of the SIAR valid bit setting. For older processors, there
is no SIAR valid bit to check so the samples are always recorded. This is
done by forcing the cntr_marked_events bit mask to zero. The code will
always record the sample in this case since the bit mask says the event is

As to particular P2P (PCI-to-PCI) bridge, the size of the corresponding
BAR (I/O, MMIO, prefetchable MMIO) is calculated by the resources
required by the PCI devices behind the P2P bridge. That means that
the information like start/end address retrieved from the hardware
registers of the P2P bridge is meainingless in the case. However,
we still count that in and the BARs might have been configured by
firmware with non-zero size. That leads to space waste.
The patch explicitly sets the size of P2P bridge BARs to zero in
case that resource reassignment is expected with PCI probe flag

We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more
generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and
continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This
happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote()
is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in
smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in
scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in
smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see
the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing
for it to do.
In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule()
is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(),
this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux().
The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that
there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and
scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than
xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers.
Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that
ipi_message is not just accessed locally.
This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the
cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations.
Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had
a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO
store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases.
These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as
measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on
different cores of a POWER7 machine.
The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly
is due to Milton Miller.

However, HV-style KVM on this platform requires secondary CPU threads
to be offline and in nap mode. Since we know nap mode works just
fine on all POWER7 machines, and the only machines that support the

At the moment the handler for hypervisor decrementer interrupts is

This is bogus; if we ever do get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt
it won't have anything to do with the next timer event. In fact
the only time we get hypervisor decrementer interrupts is when one

When we get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt we don't need to do
anything special to clear it, since they are edge-triggered on the
