[ Upstream commit e7e846dc6c73fbc94ae8b4ec20d05627646416f2 ]

Booting with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL leads to following warning when
passing hugepage reservation on command line:

  Kernel command line: hugepagesz=1g hugepages=1 hugepagesz=64m hugepages=1 hugepagesz=256m hugepages=1 noreboot
  HugeTLB: allocating 1 of page size 1.00 GiB failed.  Only allocated 0 hugepages.

This is due to virt_addr_valid() using high_memory before it is set.

high_memory is set in mem_init() using max_low_pfn, but max_low_pfn
is available long before, it is set in mem_topology_setup(). So just
like commit daa9ada2093e ("powerpc/mm: Fix boot crash with FLATMEM")
moved the setting of max_mapnr immediately after the call to
mem_topology_setup(), the same can be done for high_memory.

A bisect pointed to the breakage beginning with commit 9fee28baa601 ("powerpc:
implement the new page table range API").

Analysis of the oops pointed to a struct page with a corrupted
compound_head being loaded via page_folio() -&gt; _compound_head() in
hash_page_do_lazy_icache().

The access by the mpic code is to an MMIO address, so the expectation
is that the struct page for that address would be initialised by
init_unavailable_range(), as pointed out by Aneesh.

Instrumentation showed that was not the case, which eventually lead to
the realisation that pfn_valid() was returning false for that address,
causing the struct page to not be initialised.

Because the system is using FLATMEM, the version of pfn_valid() in
memory_model.h is used:

static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
{
	...
	return pfn &gt;= pfn_offset &amp;&amp; (pfn - pfn_offset) &lt; max_mapnr;
}

Which relies on max_mapnr being initialised. Early in boot max_mapnr is
zero meaning no PFNs are valid.

max_mapnr is initialised in mem_init() called via:

  start_kernel()
    mm_core_init()  # init/main.c:928
      mem_init()

But that is too late for the usage in init_unavailable_range() called via:

  start_kernel()
    setup_arch()    # init/main.c:893
      paging_init()
        free_area_init()
          init_unavailable_range()

Although max_mapnr is currently set in mem_init(), the value is actually
already available much earlier, as soon as mem_topology_setup() has
completed, which is also before paging_init() is called. So move the
initialisation there, which causes paging_init() to correctly initialise
the struct page and fixes the bug.

This bug seems to have been lurking for years, but went unnoticed
because the pre-folio code was inspecting the uninitialised page-&gt;flags
but not dereferencing it.

Thanks to Erhard and Aneesh for help debugging.

[ Upstream commit 3c0b976bf20d236c57adcefa80f86a0a1d737727 ]

Currently in generic_secondary_smp_init(), cur_cpu_spec-&gt;cpu_restore()
is called before a stack has been set up in r1. This was previously fine
as the cpu_restore() functions were implemented in assembly and did not
use a stack. However commit 5a61ef74f269 ("powerpc/64s: Support new
device tree binding for discovering CPU features") used
__restore_cpu_cpufeatures() as the cpu_restore() function for a
device-tree features based cputable entry. This is a C function and
hence uses a stack in r1.

generic_secondary_smp_init() is entered on the secondary cpus via the
primary cpu using the OPAL call opal_start_cpu(). In OPAL, each hardware
thread has its own stack. The OPAL call is ran in the primary's hardware
thread. During the call, a job is scheduled on a secondary cpu that will
start executing at the address of generic_secondary_smp_init().  Hence
the value that will be left in r1 when the secondary cpu enters the
kernel is part of that secondary cpu's individual OPAL stack. This means
that __restore_cpu_cpufeatures() will write to that OPAL stack. This is
not horribly bad as each hardware thread has its own stack and the call
that enters the kernel from OPAL never returns, but it is still wrong
and should be corrected.

Create the temp kernel stack before calling cpu_restore().

As noted by mpe, for a kexec boot, the secondary CPUs are released from
the spin loop at address 0x60 by smp_release_cpus() and then jump to
generic_secondary_smp_init(). The call to smp_release_cpus() is in
setup_arch(), and it comes before the call to emergency_stack_init().
emergency_stack_init() allocates an emergency stack in the PACA for each
CPU.  This address in the PACA is what is used to set up the temp kernel
stack in generic_secondary_smp_init(). Move releasing the secondary CPUs
to after the PACAs have been allocated an emergency stack, otherwise the
PACA stack pointer will contain garbage and hence the temp kernel stack
created from it will be broken.

The include/linux/pgtable.h is going to be the home of generic page table
manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.

con_init in tty/vt.c will now set conswitchp to dummy_con if it's unset.
Drop it from arch setup code.
