      Merge branch 'fixes' into next · 4d6a1982
      Michael Ellerman authored
      Merge our fixes branch again, this has a couple of build fixes and also
      a change to do_syscall_trace_enter() that will conflict with a patch we
      want to apply in next.

      powerpc/mm: Fallback to RAM if the altmap is unusable · 9ef34630
      Oliver O'Halloran authored
      The "altmap" is used to provide a pool of memory that is reserved for
      the vmemmap backing of hot-plugged memory. This is useful when adding
      large amount of ZONE_DEVICE memory to a system with a limited amount of
      normal memory.
      
      On ppc64 we use huge pages to map the vmemmap which requires the backing
      storage to be contigious and aligned to the hugepage size. The altmap
      implementation allows for the altmap provider to reserve a few PFNs at
      the start of the range for it's own uses and when this occurs the
      first chunk of the altmap is not usable for hugepage mappings. On hash
      there is no sane way to fall back to a normal sized page mapping so we
      fail the allocation. This results in memory hotplug failing with
      ENOMEM when the new range doesn't fall into an existing vmemmap block.
      
      This patch handles this case by falling back to using system memory
      rather than failing if we cannot allocate from the altmap. This
      fallback should only ever be used for the first vmemmap block so it
      should not cause excess memory consumption.

      powerpc/papr_scm: Use ibm,unit-guid as the iset cookie · 43001c52
      Oliver O'Halloran authored
      The interleave set cookie is used to determine if a label stored in the
      metadata space should be applied to the current region. This is
      important in the case of NVDIMMs since the firmware may change the
      interleaving configuration of a DIMM which would invalidate the existing
      labels. In our case the hypervisor hides those details from us so we
      don't really care, but libnvdimm still requires the interleave set
      cookie to be non-zero.
      
      For our purposes we just need the set cookie to be unique and fixed for
      a given PAPR SCM region and using the unit-guid (really a UUID) is fine
      for this purpose.

      powerpc/papr_scm: Fix DIMM device registration race · b0d65a8c
      Oliver O'Halloran authored
      When a new nvdimm device is registered with libnvdimm via
      nvdimm_create() it is added as a device on the nvdimm bus. The probe
      function for the DIMM driver is potentially quite slow so actually
      registering and probing the device is done in an async domain rather
      than immediately after device creation. This can result in a race where
      the region device (created 2nd) is probed first and fails to activate at
      boot.
      
      To fix this we use the same approach as the ACPI/NFIT driver which is to
      check that all the DIMM devices registered successfully. LibNVDIMM
      provides the nvdimm_bus_count_dimms() function which synchronises with
      the async domain and verifies that the dimm was successfully registered
      with the bus.
      
      If either of these does not occur then we bail.

      powerpc/papr_scm: Remove endian conversions · 409dd7dc
      Oliver O'Halloran authored
      The return values of a h-call are returned in the CPU registers and
      written to the provided buffer by the plpar_hcall() wrapper. As a result
      the values written to memory are always in the native endian and should
      not be byte swapped.
      
      The inital implementation of the H-Call interface was done in qemu and
      the returned values were byte swapped unnecessarily in both the
      hypervisor and in the driver so this was only noticed when bringing up
      the PowerVM implementation.

      powerpc/papr_scm: Update DT properties · 683ec0e0
      Oliver O'Halloran authored
      The ibm,unit-sizes property was originally specified as an array of two
      u32s corresponding to the memory block size, and the number of blocks
      available in that region. A fairly last-minute change to the SCM DT
      specification was splitting that into two seperate u64 properties:
      ibm,block-sizes and ibm,number-of-blocks that convey the same
      information. No firmware / hypervisor that emitted the ibm,unit-size
      property ever appeared in the wild.

      powerpc/boot: Fix build failures with -j 1 · e41b93a6
      Michael Ellerman authored
      In commit 5e9dcb61 ("powerpc/boot: Expose Kconfig symbols to
      wrapper") we added a dependency to serial.c on autoconf.h:
      
        $(obj)/serial.c: $(obj)/autoconf.h
      
      This works when building in-tree (ie. with KBUILD_OUTPUT unset)
      because the obj tree is the src tree.
      
      But when building with eg. O=build and -j 1 the build fails:
      
        gcc ... -I../arch/powerpc/boot -c -o arch/powerpc/boot/serial.o arch/powerpc/boot/serial.c
        gcc: error: arch/powerpc/boot/serial.c: No such file or directory
      
      Why this is only happening with -j 1 is not clear, when building with
      -j greater than 1 somehow we decide to look for serial.c in the src
      tree (../), eg:
      
        gcc -I../arch/powerpc/boot -c -o arch/powerpc/boot/serial.o ../arch/powerpc/boot/serial.c
      
      Regardless we shouldn't be specifying a dependency on serial.c in the
      build tree, we want to add a dependency to the version in $(srctree)
      so fix the rule to say that.
