      powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Fix MSI after kexec · 23e0e8af
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      Commit d015fe99 'powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Retry on missing interrupt'
      has turned a rare failure to kexec on QS22 into a reproducible
      error, which we have now analysed.
      
      The problem is that after a kexec, the MSIC hardware still points
      into the middle of the old ring buffer.  We set up the ring buffer
      during reboot, but not the offset into it.  On older kernels, this
      would cause a storm of thousands of spurious interrupts after a
      kexec, which would most of the time get dropped silently.
      
      With the new code, we time out on each interrupt, waiting for
      it to become valid.  If more interrupts come in that we time
      out on, this goes on indefinitely, which eventually leads to
      a hard crash.
      
      The solution in this commit is to read the current offset from
      the MSIC when reinitializing it.  This now works correctly, as
      expected.

      powerpc: Fix bootmem reservation on uninitialized node · a4c74ddd
      Dave Hansen authored
      careful_allocation() was calling into the bootmem allocator for
      nodes which had not been fully initialized and caused a previous
      bug:  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/10528/  So, I merged a
      few broken out loops in do_init_bootmem() to fix it.  That changed
      the code ordering.
      
      I think this bug is triggered by having reserved areas for a node
      which are spanned by another node's contents.  In the
      mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code, we attempt to reserve the
      area for a node before we have allocated the NODE_DATA() for that
      nid.  We do this since I reordered that loop.  I suck.
      
      This is causing crashes at bootup on some systems, as reported
      by Jon Tollefson.
      
      This may only present on some systems that have 16GB pages
      reserved.  But, it can probably happen on any system that is
      trying to reserve large swaths of memory that happen to span other
      nodes' contents.
      
      This commit ensures that we do not touch bootmem for any node which
      has not been initialized, and also removes a compile warning about
      an unused variable.

      powerpc: Check for valid hugepage size in hugetlb_get_unmapped_area · 48f797de
      Brian King authored
      It looks like most of the hugetlb code is doing the correct thing if
      hugepages are not supported, but the mmap code is not.  If we get into
      the mmap code when hugepages are not supported, such as in an LPAR
      which is running Active Memory Sharing, we can oops the kernel.  This
      fixes the oops being seen in this path.
