commit bfe5fda8e7ced129716f5741cf7ed2592a338824 upstream.

Patch c49f63530bb6 ("powernv: Add OPAL tracepoints") has a spurious
store to the stack:

	ld      r12,opal_tracepoint_refcount@toc(r2);           \
	std     r12,32(r1);                                     \

The store was originally used to save the current tracepoint status
so the entry and the exit tracepoints were always balanced. In the
end I just created a separate path when tracepoints are enabled.

The offset on the stack used for this store is not valid for ABIv2
and it causes strange issues. I noticed it because OPAL console input
was broken.

commit 63f13448d81c910a284b096149411a719cbed501 upstream.

Since both ppc and ppc64 have LE variants which are now reported by uname, add
that flag (__AUDIT_ARCH_LE) to syscall_get_arch() and add AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE
variant.

Without this,  perf trace and auditctl fail.

Mainline kernel reports ppc64le (per a058801) but there is no matching
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE.

Since 32-bit PPC LE is not supported by audit, don't advertise it in
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC* variants.

<title>powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Use per-cpu page buffer</title>

commit f34b6c72c3ebaa286d3311a825ef79eccbcca82f upstream.

The 24x7 counters are continuously running and not updated on an
interrupt. So we record the event counts when stopping the event or
deleting it.

But to "read" a single counter in 24x7, we allocate a page and pass it
into the hypervisor (The HV returns the page full of counters from which
we extract the specific counter for this event).

We allocate a page using GFP_USER and when deleting the event, we end up
with the following warning because we are blocking in interrupt context.

  [  698.641709] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0/0x10010000

We could use GFP_ATOMIC but that could result in failures. Pre-allocate
a buffer so we don't have to allocate in interrupt context. Further as
Michael Ellerman suggested, use Per-CPU buffer so we only need to
allocate once per CPU.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Switch off MMU before entering nap/sleep/rvwinkle mode</title>

commit 8117ac6a6c2fa0f847ff6a21a1f32c8d2c8501d0 upstream.

Currently, when going idle, we set the flag indicating that we are in
nap mode (paca-&gt;kvm_hstate.hwthread_state) and then execute the nap
(or sleep or rvwinkle) instruction, all with the MMU on.  This is bad
for two reasons: (a) the architecture specifies that those instructions
must be executed with the MMU off, and in fact with only the SF, HV, ME
and possibly RI bits set, and (b) this introduces a race, because as
soon as we set the flag, another thread can switch the MMU to a guest
context.  If the race is lost, this thread will typically start looping
on relocation-on ISIs at 0xc...4400.

This fixes it by setting the MSR as required by the architecture before
setting the flag or executing the nap/sleep/rvwinkle instruction.

commit 682e77c861c4c60f79ffbeae5e1938ffed24a575 upstream.

The existing MCE code calls flush_tlb hook with IS=0 (single page) resulting
in partial invalidation of TLBs which is not right. This patch fixes
that by passing IS=0xc00 to invalidate whole TLB for successful recovery
from TLB and ERAT errors.

commit cd32e2dcc9de6c27ecbbfc0e2079fb64b42bad5f upstream.

We have some code in udbg_uart_getc_poll() that tries to protect
against a NULL udbg_uart_in, but gets it all wrong.

Found with the LLVM static analyzer (scan-build).
