[ Upstream commit 94322ed8e857e3b2a33cf75118051af9baaa110f ]

PSL9D doesn't have a data-cache that needs to be flushed before
resetting the card. However when cxl tries to flush data-cache on such
a card, it times-out as PSL_Control register never indicates flush
operation complete due to missing data-cache. This is usually
indicated in the kernel logs with this message:

"WARNING: cache flush timed out"

To fix this the patch checks PSL_Debug register CDC-Field(BIT:27)
which indicates the absence of a data-cache and sets a flag
'no_data_cache' in 'struct cxl_native' to indicate this. When
cxl_data_cache_flush() is called it checks the flag and if set bails
out early without requesting a data-cache flush operation to the PSL.

<title>cxl: Fix possible deadlock when processing page faults from cxllib</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a14986d6fb0374ac20aa1ca6317cd8f9373cc600</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ad7b4e8022b9864c075fe71e1328b1d25cad82f6 upstream.

cxllib_handle_fault() is called by an external driver when it needs to
have the host resolve page faults for a buffer. The buffer can cover
several pages and VMAs. The function iterates over all the pages used
by the buffer, based on the page size of the VMA.

To ensure some stability while processing the faults, the thread T1
grabs the mm-&gt;mmap_sem semaphore with read access (R1). However, when
processing a page fault for a single page, one of the underlying
functions, copro_handle_mm_fault(), also grabs the same semaphore with
read access (R2). So the thread T1 takes the semaphore twice.

If another thread T2 tries to access the semaphore in write mode W1
(say, because it wants to allocate memory and calls 'brk'), then that
thread T2 will have to wait because there's a reader (R1). If the
thread T1 is processing a new page at that time, it won't get an
automatic grant at R2, because there's now a writer thread
waiting (T2). And we have a deadlock.

The timeline is:
1. thread T1 owns the semaphore with read access R1
2. thread T2 requests write access W1 and waits
3. thread T1 requests read access R2 and waits

The fix is for the thread T1 to release the semaphore R1 once it got
the information it needs from the current VMA. The address space/VMAs
could evolve while T1 iterates over the full buffer, but in the
unlikely case where T1 misses a page, the external driver will raise a
new page fault when retrying the memory access.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a9a08845e9acbd224e4ee466f5c1275ed50054e8</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights:

   - Enable support for memory protection keys aka "pkeys" on Power7/8/9
     when using the hash table MMU.

   - Extend our interrupt soft masking to support masking PMU interrupts
     as well as "normal" interrupts, and then use that to implement
     local_t for a ~4x speedup vs the current atomics-based
     implementation.

   - A new driver "ocxl" for "Open Coherent Accelerator Processor
     Interface (OpenCAPI)" devices.

   - Support for new device tree properties on PowerVM to describe
     hotpluggable memory and devices.

   - Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 64-bit
     VDSO.

   - Freescale updates from Scott: fixes for CPM GPIO and an FSL PCI
     erratum workaround, plus a minor cleanup patch.

  As well as quite a lot of other changes all over the place, and small
  fixes and cleanups as always.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make -&gt;poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. -&gt;poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
  architectures"

<id>urn:sha1:741ddae6c4c19bf2212ca318777320ae4f76c714</id>
<content type='text'>
The cxl driver currently declares in its table of supported PCI
devices the class "Processing accelerators". Therefore it may be
called to probe for opencapi devices, which generates errors, as the
config space of a cxl device is not compatible with opencapi.

So remove support for the generic class, as we now have (at least) two
drivers for devices of the same class. Most cxl devices are FPGAs with
a PSL which will show a known device ID of 0x477. Other devices are
really supported by the cxlflash driver and are already listed in the
table. So removing the class is expected to go unnoticed.

The POWER9 core supports a new feature: ASB_Notify which requires the
support of the Special Purpose Register: TIDR.

The ASB_Notify command, generated by the AFU, will attempt to
wake-up the host thread identified by the particular LPID:PID:TID.

This patch assign a unique TIDR (thread id) for the current thread which
will be used in the process element entry.
