Currently, the EEH recovery process considers passed-through devices
as if they were not EEH-aware, which can cause them to be removed as
part of recovery. Because device removal requires cooperation from
the guest, this may lead to the process stalling or deadlocking.
Also, if devices are removed on the host side, they will be removed
from their IOMMU group, making recovery in the guest impossible.
Therefore, alter the recovery process so that passed-through devices
are not removed but are instead left frozen (and marked isolated)
until the guest performs it's own recovery. If firmware thaws a
passed-through PE because it's parent PE has been thawed (because it
was not passed through), re-freeze it.

eeh_unfreeze_pe() performs two operations: unfreezing a PE (which may
cause firmware to unfreeze child PEs as well) and de-isolating the PE
and it's children.
To simplify this and support future work, separate out the
de-isolation and perform it at the call sites (when necessary).
There should be no change in behaviour.

The 'clear_sw_state' parameter for eeh_pe_clear_frozen_state() is
redundant because it has no effect (except in the rare case of a
hardware error part way through unfreezing a tree of PEs, where it
would dangerously allow partial de-isolation before returning
failure).
It is passed down to __eeh_pe_clear_frozen_state(), and from there to
eeh_unfreeze_pe(), where it causes EEH_PE_ISOLATED to be removed
from the state of each PE during the traversal. However, when the
traversal finishes, EEH_PE_ISOLATED is unconditionally removed by a
call to eeh_pe_state_clear() regardless of the parameter's value.
So remove the flag and pass false to eeh_unfreeze_pe() (to avoid the
rare case described above, as it was before the flag was introduced).
Also, perform the recursion directly in the function and eliminate a
bit of boilerplate.
There should be no change in functionality, except as mentioned above.

Since commit c40dd2f76644 ("powerpc: Add System RAM to /proc/iomem")
it is possible to use the generic walk_system_ram_range() and
the generic page_is_ram().
To enable the use of walk_system_ram_range() by the IBM EHEA ethernet
driver, we still need an export of the generic function.
As powerpc was the only user of CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_WALK_MEMORY, the
ifdef around the generic walk_system_ram_range() has become useless
and can be dropped.

The bottom-most stack frame (the first to be unwound) may be largely
uninitialized, for the "Power Architecture 64-Bit ELF V2 ABI" only
requires its backchain pointer to be set.
The reliable stack tracer should be careful when verifying this frame:
skip checks on STACK_FRAME_LR_SAVE and STACK_FRAME_MARKER offsets that
may contain uninitialized residual data.

The ppc64 specific implementation of the reliable stacktracer,
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable(), bails out and reports an "unreliable
trace" whenever it finds an exception frame on the stack. Stack frames
are classified as exception frames if the STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER
magic, as written by exception prologues, is found at a particular
location.
However, as observed by Joe Lawrence, it is possible in practice that
non-exception stack frames can alias with prior exception frames and
thus, that the reliable stacktracer can find a stale
STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER on the stack. It in turn falsely reports an
unreliable stacktrace and blocks any live patching transition to
finish. Said condition lasts until the stack frame is
overwritten/initialized by function call or other means.
In principle, we could mitigate this by making the exception frame
classification condition in save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() stronger:
in addition to testing for STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER, we could also take
into account that for all exceptions executing on the kernel stack
- their stack frames's backlink pointers always match what is saved
in their pt_regs instance's ->gpr[1] slot and that
- their exception frame size equals STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE, a value
uncommonly large for non-exception frames.
However, while these are currently true, relying on them would make
the reliable stacktrace implementation more sensitive towards future
changes in the exception entry code. Note that false negatives, i.e.
not detecting exception frames, would silently break the live patching
consistency model.
Furthermore, certain other places (diagnostic stacktraces, perf, xmon)
rely on STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER as well.
Make the exception exit code clear the on-stack
STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER for those exceptions running on the "normal"
kernel stack and returning to kernelspace: because the topmost frame
is ignored by the reliable stack tracer anyway, returns to userspace
don't need to take care of clearing the marker.
Furthermore, as I don't have the ability to test this on Book 3E or 32
bits, limit the change to Book 3S and 64 bits.

In htab_convert_pte_flags(), _PAGE_CACHE_CTL is used to check for the
_PAGE_SAO flag:
else if ((pteflags & _PAGE_CACHE_CTL) == _PAGE_SAO)
rflags |= (HPTE_R_W | HPTE_R_I | HPTE_R_M);
But, it isn't defined to include that flag:
#define _PAGE_CACHE_CTL (_PAGE_NON_IDEMPOTENT | _PAGE_TOLERANT)
This happens to work, but only because of the flag values:
#define _PAGE_SAO 0x00010 /* Strong access order */
#define _PAGE_NON_IDEMPOTENT 0x00020 /* non idempotent memory */
#define _PAGE_TOLERANT 0x00030 /* tolerant memory, cache inhibited */
To prevent any issues if these particulars ever change, add _PAGE_SAO to
the mask.

Within cxl module, iteration over array 'adapter->afu' may be racy
at few points as it might be simultaneously read during an EEH and its
contents being set to NULL while driver is being unloaded or unbound
from the adapter. This might result in a NULL pointer to 'struct afu'
being de-referenced during an EEH thereby causing a kernel oops.
This patch fixes this by making sure that all access to the array
'adapter->afu' is wrapped within the context of spin-lock
'adapter->afu_list_lock'.

On pseries systems, performing a partition migration can result in
altering the nodes a CPU is assigned to on the destination system. For
exampl, pre-migration on the source system CPUs are in node 1 and 3,
post-migration on the destination system CPUs are in nodes 2 and 3.
Handling the node change for a CPU can cause corruption in the slab
cache if we hit a timing where a CPUs node is changed while cache_reap()
is invoked. The corruption occurs because the slab cache code appears
to rely on the CPU and slab cache pages being on the same node.
The current dynamic updating of a CPUs node done in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c
does not prevent us from hitting this scenario.
Changing the device tree property update notification handler that
recognizes an affinity change for a CPU to do a full DLPAR remove and
add of the CPU instead of dynamically changing its node resolves this
issue.

A new self test that forces MSR[TS] to be set without calling any TM
instruction. This test also tries to cause a page fault at a signal
handler, exactly between MSR[TS] set and tm_recheckpoint(), forcing
thread->texasr to be rewritten with TEXASR[FS] = 0, which will cause a BUG
when tm_recheckpoint() is called.
This test is not deterministic, since it is hard to guarantee that the page
access will cause a page fault. In order to force more page faults at
signal context, the signal handler and the ucontext are being mapped into a
MADV_DONTNEED memory chunks.
Tests have shown that the bug could be exposed with few interactions in a
buggy kernel. This test is configured to loop 5000x, having a good chance
to hit the kernel issue in just one run. This self test takes less than
two seconds to run.
This test uses set/getcontext because the kernel will recheckpoint
zeroed structures, causing the test to segfault, which is undesired because
the test needs to rerun, so, there is a signal handler for SIGSEGV which
will restart the test.

UNAME26 is a mechanism to report Linux's version as 2.6.x, for
compatibility with old/broken software. Due to the way it is
implemented, it would have to be updated after 5.0, to keep the
resulting versions unique. Linus Torvalds argued:
"Do we actually need this?
I'd rather let it bitrot, and just let it return random versions. It
will just start again at 2.4.60, won't it?
Anybody who uses UNAME26 for a 5.x kernel might as well think it's
still 4.x. The user space is so old that it can't possibly care about
differences between 4.x and 5.x, can it?
The only thing that matters is that it shows "2.4.<largeenough>",
which it will do regardless"

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
"A bigger batch than I anticipated this week, for two reasons:
- Some fallout on Davinci from board file -> DTB conversion, that
also includes a few longer-standing fixes (i.e. not recent
regressions).
- drivers/reset material that has been in linux-next for a while, but
didn't get sent to us until now for a variety of reasons
(maintainer out sick, holidays, etc). There's a functional
dependency in there such that one platform (Altera's SoCFPGA) won't
boot without one of the patches; instead of reverting the patch
that got merged, I looked at this set and decided it was small
enough that I'll pick it up anyway. If you disagree I can revisit
with a smaller set.
That being said, there's also a handful of the usual stuff:
- Fix for a crash on Armada 7K/8K when the kernel touches
PSCI-reserved memory
- Fix for PCIe reset on Macchiatobin (Armada 8K development board,

- Enable a few new-merged modules for Amlogic in arm64 defconfig

Pull btrfs fixes from David Sterba:
- two regression fixes in clone/dedupe ioctls, the generic check
callback needs to lock extents properly and wait for io to avoid
problems with writeback and relocation
- fix deadlock when using free space tree due to block group creation
- a recently added check refuses a valid fileystem with seeding device,
make that work again with a quickfix, proper solution needs more
intrusive changes

Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH:
"Here is one small sysfs change, and a documentation update for 5.0-rc2
The sysfs change moves from using BUG_ON to WARN_ON, as discussed in
an email thread on lkml while trying to track down another driver bug.
sysfs should not be crashing and preventing people from seeing where
they went wrong. Now it properly recovers and warns the developer.
The documentation update removes the use of BUS_ATTR() as the kernel
is moving away from this to use the specific BUS_ATTR_RW() and friends
instead. There are pending patches in all of the different subsystems
to remove the last users of this macro, but for now, don't advertise
it should be used anymore to keep new ones from being introduced.
Both have been in linux-next with no reported issues"
