[ Upstream commit 219572d2fc4135b5ce65c735d881787d48b10e71 ]

Kdump can be triggered after panic_notifers since commit f06e5153f4ae2
("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump
after panic_notifers") introduced crash_kexec_post_notifiers option.
But using this option would mean smp_send_stop(), that marks all other
CPUs as offline, gets called before kdump is triggered. As a result,
kdump routines fail to save other CPUs' registers. To fix this, kdump
friendly crash_smp_send_stop() function was introduced with kernel
commit 0ee59413c967 ("x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump
friendly version in panic path"). Override this kdump friendly weak
function to handle crash_kexec_post_notifiers option appropriately
on powerpc.

setup_profiling_timer() is only needed when CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled.

[ Upstream commit bab26238bbd44d5a4687c0a64fd2c7f2755ea937 ]

printk_safe_flush_on_panic() has special lock breaking code for the case
where we panic()ed with the console lock held. It relies on panic IPI
causing other CPUs to mark themselves offline.

Do as most other architectures do.

This effectively reverts commit de6e5d38417e ("powerpc: smp_send_stop do
not offline stopped CPUs"), unfortunately it may result in some false
positive warnings, but the alternative is more situations where we can
crash without getting messages out.

Some of the per-CPU masks use cpu_cpu_mask as a filter to limit the search
for related CPUs. On a dlpar add of a CPU, update cpu_cpu_mask before
updating the per-CPU masks. This will ensure the cpu_cpu_mask is updated
correctly before its used in setting the masks. Setting the numa_node will
ensure that when cpu_cpu_mask() gets called, the correct node number is
used. This code movement helped fix the above call trace.

The table of pointers 'current_set' has been used for retrieving
the stack and current. They used to be thread_info pointers as
they were pointing to the stack and current was taken from the
'task' field of the thread_info.

Now, the pointers of 'current_set' table are now both pointers
to task_struct and pointers to thread_info.

As they are used to get current, and the stack pointer is
retrieved from current's stack field, this patch changes
their type to task_struct, and renames secondary_ti to
secondary_current.

<title>powerpc: Activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch activates CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK which
moves the thread_info into task_struct.

Moving thread_info into task_struct has the following advantages:
  - It protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack
    overflows.
  - Its address is harder to determine if stack addresses are leaked,
    making a number of attacks more difficult.

This has the following consequences:
  - thread_info is now located at the beginning of task_struct.
  - The 'cpu' field is now in task_struct, and only exists when
    CONFIG_SMP is active.
  - thread_info doesn't have anymore the 'task' field.

This patch:
  - Removes all recopy of thread_info struct when the stack changes.
  - Changes the CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro to point to current.
  - Selects CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK.
  - Modifies raw_smp_processor_id() to get -&gt;cpu from current without
    including linux/sched.h to avoid circular inclusion and without
    including asm/asm-offsets.h to avoid symbol names duplication
    between ASM constants and C constants.
  - Modifies klp_init_thread_info() to take a task_struct pointer
    argument.

Rather than using the thread info use task_stack_page() to initialise
paca-&gt;kstack, that way it will work with THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK.

<title>powerpc/smp: Fix NMI IPI xmon timeout</title>

<id>88b9a3d1425a436e95c41f09986fdae2daee437a</id>
<content type='text'>
The xmon debugger IPI handler waits in the callback function while
xmon is still active. This means they don't complete the IPI, and the
initiator always times out waiting for them.

Things manage to work after the timeout because there is some fallback
logic to keep NMI IPI state sane in case of the timeout, but this is a
bit ugly.

This patch changes NMI IPI back to half-asynchronous (i.e., wait for
everyone to call in, do not wait for IPI function to complete), but
the complexity is avoided by going one step further and allowing new
IPIs to be issued before the IPI functions to all complete.

If synchronization against that is required, it is left up to the
caller, but current callers don't require that. In fact with the
timeout handling, callers must be able to cope with this already.
