a4c4af7c8d [PATCH] cpu hoptlug: avoid usage of smp_processor_id() in preemptible code
Replace smp_processor_id() with any_online_cpu(cpu_online_map) in order to
avoid lots of "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001]
code:..." messages in case taking a cpu online fails.

All the traces start at the last notifier_call_chain(...) in kernel/cpu.c.
Since we hold the cpu_control semaphore it shouldn't be any problem to access
cpu_online_map.

The reason why cpu_up failed is simply that the cpu that was supposed to be
taken online wasn't even there.  That is because on s390 we never know when a
new cpu comes and therefore cpu_possible_map consists of only ones and doesn't
reflect reality.

77f72b192f [PATCH] i386: LVT entries remaining unmasked on reboot
Excerpt from bugzilla entry

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5518

"i386 version of Reboot-through-BIOS is unsafe: it forgets to mask APIC LVT
interrupts before jumping to a BIOS entry point.  As a result, BIOS ends up
bombarded with interrupts early on boot.  The BIOS does not expect it since
following a "normal" hardware cpu reset, all APIC LVT registers have the
Mask bit (16) set and can't generate interrupts.

For example, the version of Phoenix BIOS used by VMware enables interrupts
for the first time before masking/clearing APIC LVT.  The APIC Timer LVT
register is still set up for a timer interrupt delivery with a high vector
from the previous Linux incarnation (0xef in our case).  The BIOS has not
fully initialized its IDT at this point and the real mode gate for 0xef
remains all zeros.  Vector 0xef dispatches BIOS to address 0:0, BIOS takes
a #GP and eventually hangs.

machine_shutdown() does attempt to shut down APIC before jumping to BIOS,
but it is ineffective"

0d6d82b671 [PATCH] sh: Use pfn_valid() for lazy dcache write-back on SH7705
SH7705 in extended cache mode has some left-over VALID_PAGE() cruft that it
checks when doing lazy dcache write-back.  This has been gone for some time
(the last bits were in the discontig code, which should now also be gone --
this also fixes up a build error in the non-discontig case).

pfn_valid() gives the desired behaviour, so we switch to that.

65463b73b1 [PATCH] sh: Drop hp690 discontig support
There was only one board using this (hp690 specifically), and it just so
happens that it's only physically discontiguous at the "normal" P1 offset.  If
we bump up the P1 offset, it's possible to hit a shadowed region of memory
where we suddenly become magically contiguous.

As people have been using this shadowed region workaround for quite some time
(and without any adverse effects), it's time to drop the left over discontig
bits that no longer have any practical use (it was always very much
hp690-centric to begin with).

055a251214 [PATCH] superhyway: multiple block support and VCR rework
This extends the API somewhat to allow for platform-specific VCR reading and
writing.  Some platforms (like SH4-202) implement the VCR in a split VCRL and
VCRH, but end up being in reverse order or have other quirks that need to be
dealt with, so we add a set of superhyway_ops per-bus to accomodate this.

We also have to extend the per-device resources somewhat, as some devices now
conveniently split control and data blocks.  So we allow a platform to
register its set of SuperHyway devices via superhyway_add_devices() with the
control block always ordered as the first resource (as this is the one that
userspace cares about).

slab presently goes BUG if someone tries to register an already-registered

But this can happen if the user accidentally loads a module which is already
statically linked into the kernel.  Nuking the kernel is rather a harsh

Change it into a warning, and just fail the kmem_cache_alloc() attempt.  If
the module is well-behaved, the modprobe will fail and all is well.

Notes:

- Swaps the ranking of cache_chain_sem and lock_cpu_hotplug().  Doesn't seem

7d24f0b8a5 [PATCH] ppc64: Fix bug in SLB miss handler for hugepages
This patch, however, should be applied on top of the 64k-page-size patch to
fix some problems with hugepage (some pre-existing, another introduced by
this patch).

The patch fixes a bug in the SLB miss handler for hugepages on ppc64
introduced by the dynamic hugepage patch (commit id
c594adad56) due to a misunderstanding of the
srd instruction's behaviour (mea culpa).  The problem arises when a 64-bit
process maps some hugepages in the low 4GB of the address space (unusual).
In this case, as well as the 256M segment in question being marked for
hugepages, other segments at 32G intervals will be incorrectly marked for
hugepages.

In the process, this patch tweaks the semantics of the hugepage bitmaps to
be more sensible.  Previously, an address below 4G was marked for hugepages
if the appropriate segment bit in the "low areas" bitmask was set *or* if
the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap was set (which would mark all
addresses below 1TB for hugepage).  With this patch, any given address is
governed by a single bitmap.  Addresses below 4GB are marked for hugepage
if and only if their bit is set in the "low areas" bitmap (256M
granularity).  Addresses between 4GB and 1TB are marked for hugepage iff
the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set.  Higher addresses are marked
for hugepage iff their bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set (1TB
granularity).

To avoid conflicts, this patch must be applied on top of BenH's pending
patch for 64k base page size [0].  As such, this patch also addresses a
hugepage problem introduced by that patch.  That patch allows hugepages of
1MB in size on hardware which supports it, however, that won't work when
using 4k pages (4 level pagetable), because in that case hugepage PTEs are
stored at the PMD level, and each PMD entry maps 2MB.  This patch simply
disallows hugepages in that case (we can do something cleverer to re-enable
them some other day).

Built, booted, and a handful of hugepage related tests passed on POWER5
LPAR (both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).

3c726f8dee [PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages
Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K.  The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware.  On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.

Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

1555972231 [ARM] Fix /proc/cpuinfo format for ARM SMP
glibc expects to count lines beginning with "processor" to determine
the number of processors, not lines beginning with "Processor".  So,
give glibc the format it expects.
