[ Upstream commit cf89c9434af122f28a3552e6f9cc5158c33ce50a ]

On some powermacs `escc` nodes are missing `#size-cells` properties,
which is deprecated and now triggers a warning at boot since commit
045b14ca5c36 ("of: WARN on deprecated #address-cells/#size-cells
handling").

For example:

  Missing '#size-cells' in /pci@f2000000/mac-io@c/escc@13000
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/of/base.c:133 of_bus_n_size_cells+0x98/0x108
  Hardware name: PowerMac3,1 7400 0xc0209 PowerMac
  ...
  Call Trace:
    of_bus_n_size_cells+0x98/0x108 (unreliable)
    of_bus_default_count_cells+0x40/0x60
    __of_get_address+0xc8/0x21c

    pmz_console_init+0x10/0x48
    console_init+0xcc/0x138
    start_kernel+0x5c4/0x694

As powermacs boot via prom_init it's possible to add the missing
properties to the device tree during boot, avoiding the warning. Note
that `escc-legacy` nodes are also missing `#size-cells` properties, but
they are skipped by the macio driver, so leave them alone.

<title>powerpc/vdso: Drop -mstack-protector-guard flags in 32-bit files with clang</title>

<content type='text'>
commit d677ce521334d8f1f327cafc8b1b7854b0833158 upstream.

Under certain conditions, the 64-bit '-mstack-protector-guard' flags may
end up in the 32-bit vDSO flags, resulting in build failures due to the
structure of clang's argument parsing of the stack protector options,
which validates the arguments of the stack protector guard flags
unconditionally in the frontend, choking on the 64-bit values when
targeting 32-bit:

  clang: error: invalid value 'r13' in 'mstack-protector-guard-reg=', expected one of: r2
  clang: error: invalid value 'r13' in 'mstack-protector-guard-reg=', expected one of: r2
  make[3]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/Makefile:85: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday-32.o] Error 1
  make[3]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/Makefile:87: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vgetrandom-32.o] Error 1

Remove these flags by adding them to the CC32FLAGSREMOVE variable, which
already handles situations similar to this. Additionally, reformat and
align a comment better for the expanding CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG block.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Fix KVM guest detection for disabling hardlockup detector</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 44e5d21e6d3fd2a1fed7f0327cf72e99397e2eaf upstream.

As per the kernel documentation[1], hardlockup detector should
be disabled in KVM guests as it may give false positives. On
PPC, hardlockup detector is enabled inside KVM guests because
disable_hardlockup_detector() is marked as early_initcall and it
relies on kvm_guest static key (is_kvm_guest()) which is initialized
later during boot by check_kvm_guest(), which is a core_initcall.
check_kvm_guest() is also called in pSeries_smp_probe(), which is called
before initcalls, but it is skipped if KVM guest does not have doorbell
support or if the guest is launched with SMT=1.

Call check_kvm_guest() in disable_hardlockup_detector() so that
is_kvm_guest() check goes through fine and hardlockup detector can be
disabled inside the KVM guest.

[ Upstream commit fb90dca828b6070709093934c6dec56489a2d91d ]

The param area is a memory region where the kernel places additional
command-line arguments for fadump kernel. Currently, the param memory
area is reserved in fadump kernel if it is above boot_mem_top. However,
it should be reserved if it is below boot_mem_top because the fadump
kernel already reserves memory from boot_mem_top to the end of DRAM.

Currently, there is no impact from not reserving param memory if it is
below boot_mem_top, as it is not used after the early boot phase of the
fadump kernel. However, if this changes in the future, it could lead to
issues in the fadump kernel.

[ Upstream commit f4892c68ecc1cf45e41a78820dd2eebccc945b66 ]

Memory for passing additional parameters to fadump capture kernel
is allocated during subsys_initcall level, using memblock. But
as slab is already available by this time, allocation happens via
the buddy allocator. This may work for radix MMU but is likely to
fail in most cases for hash MMU as hash MMU needs this memory in
the first memory block for it to be accessible in real mode in the
capture kernel (second boot). So, allocate memory for additional
parameters area as soon as MMU mode is obvious.

<title>powerpc/fadump: Move fadump_cma_init to setup_arch() after initmem_init()</title>

[ Upstream commit 05b94cae1c47f94588c3e7096963c1007c4d9c1d ]

During early init CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES can be PAGE_SIZE,
since pageblock_order is still zero and it gets initialized
later during initmem_init() e.g.
setup_arch() -&gt; initmem_init() -&gt; sparse_init() -&gt; set_pageblock_order()

One such use case where this causes issue is -
early_setup() -&gt; early_init_devtree() -&gt; fadump_reserve_mem() -&gt; fadump_cma_init()

This causes CMA memory alignment check to be bypassed in
cma_init_reserved_mem(). Then later cma_activate_area() can hit
a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(pfn &amp; ((1 &lt;&lt; order) - 1)) if the reserved memory
area was not pageblock_order aligned.

Fix it by moving the fadump_cma_init() after initmem_init(),
where other such cma reservations also gets called.

[ Upstream commit adfaec30ffaceecd565e06adae367aa944acc3c9 ]

We anyway don't use any return values from fadump_cma_init(). Since
fadump_reserve_mem() from where fadump_cma_init() gets called today,
already has the required checks.
This patch makes this function return type as void. Let's also handle
extra cases like return if fadump_supported is false or dump_active, so
that in later patches we can call fadump_cma_init() separately from
setup_arch().

[ Upstream commit b2473a359763e27567993e7d8f37de82f57a0829 ]

 __pa() is only intended to be used for linear map addresses and using
it for initial_boot_params which is in fixmap for arm64 will give an
incorrect value. Hence save the physical address when it is known at
boot time when calling early_init_dt_scan for arm64 and use it at kexec
time instead of converting the virtual address using __pa().

Note that arm64 doesn't need the FDT region reserved in the DT as the
kernel explicitly reserves the passed in FDT. Therefore, only a debug
warning is fixed with this change.

Commit ac9f97ff8b32 ("powerpc/8xx: Inconditionally use task PGDIR in
DTLB misses") relies on re-reading DAR register to know if an error is
due to a missing copy of a PMD entry in task's PGDIR, allthough DAR
was already read in the exception prolog and copied into thread
struct. This is because is it done very early in the exception and
there are not enough registers available to keep a pointer to thread
struct.

However, dcbz instruction is buggy and doesn't update DAR register on
fault. That is detected and generates a call to FixupDAR workaround
which updates DAR copy in thread struct but doesn't fix DAR register.

Let's fix DAR in addition to the update of DAR copy in thread struct.

For gettimeofday, -ffixed-r30 was passed to work around a bug in Go
code, where the vDSO trampoline forgot to save and restore this register
across function calls. But Go requires a different trampoline for every
call, and there's no reason that new Go code needs to be broken and add
more bugs. So remove -ffixed-r30 for getrandom.
