b2b48584df powerpc/powernv: Fix starting of secondary CPUs on OPALv2 and v3
The current code fails to handle kexec on OPALv2. This fixes it
and adds code to improve the situation on OPALv3 where we can
query the CPU status from the firmware and decide what to do
based on that.

af945cf4bf powerpc: Fix MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low warning again
Saw this warning again, and this time from the ret_from_fork path.

It seems we could clear the back chain earlier in copy_thread(), which
could cover both path, and also fix potential lockdep usage in
schedule_tail(), or exception occurred before we clear the back chain.

b80ec3dc8e powerpc: Make CONFIG_RTAS_PROC depend on CONFIG_PROC_FS
We are getting build errors with CONFIG_PROC_FS=n:

arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c
   In function 'rtas_flash_init':
  745:33: error: unused variable 'f' [-Werror=unused-variable]

But rtas_flash.c should not be built when CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, beacause all
it does is provide a /proc interface to the RTAS flash routines.

CONFIG_RTAS_FLASH already depends on CONFIG_RTAS_PROC, to indicate that
it depends on the RTAS proc support, but CONFIG_RTAS_PROC does not
depend on CONFIG_PROC_FS. So fix that.

120496ac2d powerpc: Bring all threads online prior to migration/hibernation
This patch brings online all threads which are present but not online
prior to migration/hibernation.  After migration/hibernation those
threads are taken back offline.

During migration/hibernation all online CPUs must call H_JOIN, this is
required by the hypervisor.  Without this patch, threads that are offline
(H_CEDE'd) will not be woken to make the H_JOIN call and the OS will be
deadlocked (all threads either JOIN'd or CEDE'd).

a94a14720e powerpc/rtas_flash: Fix validate_flash buffer overflow issue
ibm,validate-flash-image RTAS call output buffer contains 150 - 200
bytes of data on latest system. Presently we have output
buffer size as 64 bytes and we use sprintf to copy data from
RTAS buffer to local buffer. This causes kernel oops (see below
call trace).

This patch increases local buffer size to 256 and also uses
snprintf instead of sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer.

79c66ce8f6 powerpc/kexec: Fix kexec when using VMX optimised memcpy
commit b3f271e86e (powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and
enhanced prefetch) uses VMX when it is safe to do so (ie not in
interrupt). It also looks at the task struct to decide if we have to
save the current tasks' VMX state.

kexec calls memcpy() at a point where the task struct may have been
overwritten by the new kexec segments. If it has been overwritten
then when memcpy -> enable_altivec looks up current->thread.regs->msr
we get a cryptic oops or lockup.

I also notice we aren't initialising thread_info->cpu, which means
smp_processor_id is broken. Fix that too.

1de1455f33 powerpc/powernv: Properly drop characters if console is closed
If the firmware returns an error such as "closed" (or hardware
error), we should drop characters.

Currently we only do that when a firmware compatible with OPAL v2
APIs is detected, in the code that calls opal_console_write_buffer_space(),
which didn't exist with OPAL v1 (or didn't work).

However, when enabling early debug consoles, the flag indicating
that v2 is supported isn't set yet, causing us, in case of errors
or closed console, to spin forever.

5737789c83 powerpc: Make hard_irq_disable() do the right thing vs. irq tracing
If hard_irq_disable() is called while interrupts are already soft-disabled
(which is the most common case) all is already well.

However you can (and in some cases want) to call it while everything is
enabled (to make sure you don't get a lazy even, for example before entry
into KVM guests) and in this case we need to inform the irq tracer that
the irqs are going off.

We have to change the inline into a macro to avoid an include circular
dependency hell hole.

3fd47f063b powerpc/pci: Support per-aperture memory offset
The PCI core supports an offset per aperture nowadays but our arch
code still has a single offset per host bridge representing the
difference betwen CPU memory addresses and PCI MMIO addresses.

This is a problem as new machines and hypervisor versions are
coming out where the 64-bit windows will have a different offset
(basically mapped 1:1) from the 32-bit windows.

This fixes it by using separate offsets. In the long run, we probably
want to get rid of that intermediary struct pci_controller and have
those directly stored into the pci_host_bridge as they are parsed
but this will be a more invasive change.

5fe0c1f2f0 irqdomain: Allow quiet failure mode
Some interrupt controllers refuse to map interrupts marked as
"protected" by firwmare. Since we try to map everyting in the
device-tree on some platforms, we end up with a lot of nasty
WARN's in the boot log for what is a normal situation on those
machines.

This defines a specific return code (-EPERM) from the host map()
callback which cause irqdomain to fail silently.

MPIC is updated to return this when hitting a protected source
printing only a single line message for diagnostic purposes.

534c97b095 Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
  kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
  or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.

  This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
  idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
  reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.

  This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
  the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
  that:

   - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
     to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power.  A periodic timer tick at
     HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%.  This feature
     removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
     typical distro configs even on modern systems.

   - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
     should experience as little jitter as possible.  The last remaining
     source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.

   - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
     especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
     helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.

  The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
  reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
  slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.

  Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
  two NOHZ kconfig modes:

   - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
     as a config option.  This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
     design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
     whether a CPU is idle or not.

   - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
     periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.

   - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
     tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
     timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
     CPU.

  The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
  CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
  user having to configure anything.  CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
  default.

  This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
  steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
  and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.

  This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature.  The pull
  request is marked RFC because:

   - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
     small but did not get ready in time.

   - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
     window.  The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
     merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
     marked it RFC.

   - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
     while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
     combination is still not very widely used.  That it's default-off
     should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
     known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.

   - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
     equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick.  In
     particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
     on scheduler load-balancing and statistics.  This should not impact
     correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
     feature at this point.

   - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
     enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
     its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
     Without flaming us to crisp! :-)

  Future plans:

   - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
     the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
     CPU.  We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
     for the 0 Hz target though.

   - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
     nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
     as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
     once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.

  I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
  v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
  but the final word is up to you as usual.

Pull single_open() leak fixes from Al Viro:
 "A bunch of fixes for a moderately common class of bugs: file with
  single_open() done by its ->open() and seq_release as its ->release().

  That leaks; fortunately, it's not _too_ common (either people manage
  to RTFM that says "When using single_open(), the programmer should use
  single_release() instead of seq_release() in the file_operations
  structure to avoid a memory leak", or they just copy a correct
  instance), but grepping through the tree has caught quite a pile.

  All of that is, AFAICS, -stable fodder, for as far as the patches
  apply.  I tried to carve it up into reasonably-sized pieces (more or
  less "comes from the same tree")"

802d0db827 Merge branch 'ipc-cleanups'
Merge ipc fixes and cleanups from my IPC branch.

The ipc locking has always been pretty ugly, and the scalability fixes
to some degree made it even less readable.  We had two cases of double
unlocks in error paths due to this (one rcu read unlock, one semaphore
unlock), and this fixes the bugs I found while trying to clean things up
a bit so that we are less likely to have more.

* ipc-cleanups:
  ipc: simplify rcu_read_lock() in semctl_nolock()
  ipc: simplify semtimedop/semctl_main() common error path handling
  ipc: move sem_obtain_lock() rcu locking into the only caller
  ipc: fix double sem unlock in semctl error path
  ipc: move the rcu_read_lock() from sem_lock_and_putref() into callers
  ipc: sem_putref() does not need the semaphore lock any more
  ipc: move rcu_read_unlock() out of sem_unlock() and into callers
