Commit 62217beb394e ("parisc: Add static branch and JUMP_LABEL feature") missed
to add code to handle PCREL64 relocations which are generated when creating a
jump label on a 64-bit kernel.
This patch fixes module load errors like this one:
# modprobe -v ipv6
insmod /lib/modules/5.2.0-rc1-JeR/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'ipv6': Exec format error

This patch implements dynamic ftrace for PA-RISC. The required mcount
call sequences can get pretty long, so instead of patching the
whole call sequence out of the functions, we are using
-fpatchable-function-entry from gcc. This puts a configurable amount of
NOPS before/at the start of the function. Taking do_sys_open() as example,
which would look like this when the call is patched out:
1036b248: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b24c: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b250: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b254: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b258 <do_sys_open>:
1036b258: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b25c: 08 03 02 41 copy r3,r1
1036b260: 6b c2 3f d9 stw rp,-14(sp)
1036b264: 08 1e 02 43 copy sp,r3
1036b268: 6f c1 01 00 stw,ma r1,80(sp)
When ftrace gets enabled for this function the kernel will patch these
NOPs to:
1036b248: 10 19 57 20 <address of ftrace>
1036b24c: 6f c1 00 80 stw,ma r1,40(sp)
1036b250: 48 21 3f d1 ldw -18(r1),r1
1036b254: e8 20 c0 02 bv,n r0(r1)
1036b258 <do_sys_open>:
1036b258: e8 3f 1f df b,l,n .-c,r1
1036b25c: 08 03 02 41 copy r3,r1
1036b260: 6b c2 3f d9 stw rp,-14(sp)
1036b264: 08 1e 02 43 copy sp,r3
1036b268: 6f c1 01 00 stw,ma r1,80(sp)
So the first NOP in do_sys_open() will be patched to jump backwards into
some minimal trampoline code which pushes a stackframe, saves r1 which
holds the return address, loads the address of the real ftrace function,
and branches to that location. For 64 Bit things are getting a bit more
complicated (and longer) because we must make sure that the address of
ftrace location is 8 byte aligned, and the offset passed to ldd for
fetching the address is 8 byte aligned as well.
Note that gcc has a bug which misplaces the function label, and needs a
patch to make dynamic ftrace work. See
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90751 for details.

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
- Fix crashes when accessing PCI devices on some machines like C240 and
J5000. The crashes were triggered because we replaced cache flushes
by nops in the alternative coding where we shouldn't for some
machines.
- Dave fixed a race in the usage of the sr1 space register when used to
load the coherence index.
- Use the hardware lpa instruction to to load the physical address of
kernel virtual addresses in the iommu driver code.
- The kernel may fail to link when CONFIG_MLONGCALLS isn't set. Solve
that by rearranging functions in the final vmlinux executeable.
- Some defconfig cleanups and removal of compiler warnings.

According to the found documentation, data cache flushes and sync
instructions are needed on the PCX-U+ (PA8200, e.g. C200/C240)
platforms, while PCX-W (PA8500, e.g. C360) platforms aparently don't
need those flushes when changing the IO PDIR data structures.
We have no documentation for PCX-W+ (PA8600) and PCX-W2 (PA8700) CPUs,
but Carlo Pisani reported that his C3600 machine (PA8600, PCX-W+) fails
when the fdc instructions were removed. His firmware didn't set the NIOP
bit, so one may assume it's a firmware bug since other C3750 machines
had the bit set.
Even if documentation (as mentioned above) states that PCX-W (PA8500,
e.g. J5000) does not need fdc flushes, Sven could show that an Adaptec
29320A PCI-X SCSI controller reliably failed on a dd command during the
first five minutes in his J5000 when fdc flushes were missing.
Going forward, we will now NOT replace the fdc and sync assembler
instructions by NOPS if:
a) the NP iopdir_fdc bit was set by firmware, or
b) we find a CPU up to and including a PCX-W+ (PA8600).
This fixes the HPMC crashes on a C240 and C36XX machines. For other
machines we rely on the firmware to set the bit when needed.
In case one finds HPMC issues, people could try to boot their machines
with the "no-alternatives" kernel option to turn off any alternative
patching.

As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.
The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.
The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:
force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]
->
force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)

current
In preparation for removing the task parameter from force_sig_fault
introduce force_sig_fault_to_task and use it for the two cases where
it matters.
On mips force_fcr31_sig calls force_sig_fault and is called on either
the current task, or a task that is suspended and is being switched to
by the scheduler. This is safe because the task being switched to by
the scheduler is guaranteed to be suspended. This ensures that
task->sighand is stable while the signal is delivered to it.
On parisc user_enable_single_step calls force_sig_fault and is in turn
called by ptrace_request. The function ptrace_request always calls
user_enable_single_step on a child that is stopped for tracing. The
child being traced and not reaped ensures that child->sighand is not
NULL, and that the child will not change child->sighand.

A 64-bit kernel built without CONFIG_MLONGCALLS (-mlong-calls compiler
option) usually fails to link because of unreachable functions. Try to
work around that linking issue by moving the *.init and *.exit text
segments closer to the main text segment. With that change those
segments now don't get freed at runtime any longer, but since we in most
cases run with huge-page enabled, we ignore the lost memory in
preference of better performance.
This change will not guarantee that every kernel config will now
sucessfully build with short calls and without linking issues.

This patch modifies the initial page mapping functions in the following way:
During bootup the init, text and data pages will be mapped RWX and if
supported, with huge pages.
At final stage of the bootup, the kernel calls free_initmem() and then all
pages will be remapped either R-X (for text and read-only data) or RW- (for
data). The __init pages will be dropped.
This reflects the behaviour of the x86 platform.

Pull stack trace updates from Ingo Molnar:
"So Thomas looked at the stacktrace code recently and noticed a few
weirdnesses, and we all know how such stories of crummy kernel code
meeting German engineering perfection end: a 45-patch series to clean
it all up! :-)
Here's the changes in Thomas's words:
'Struct stack_trace is a sinkhole for input and output parameters
which is largely pointless for most usage sites. In fact if embedded
into other data structures it creates indirections and extra storage
overhead for no benefit.
Looking at all usage sites makes it clear that they just require an
interface which is based on a storage array. That array is either on
stack, global or embedded into some other data structure.
Some of the stack depot usage sites are outright wrong, but
fortunately the wrongness just causes more stack being used for
nothing and does not have functional impact.
Another oddity is the inconsistent termination of the stack trace
with ULONG_MAX. It's pointless as the number of entries is what
determines the length of the stored trace. In fact quite some call
sites remove the ULONG_MAX marker afterwards with or without nasty
comments about it. Not all architectures do that and those which do,
do it inconsistenly either conditional on nr_entries == 0 or
unconditionally.
The following series cleans that up by:
1) Removing the ULONG_MAX termination in the architecture code
2) Removing the ULONG_MAX fixups at the call sites
3) Providing plain storage array based interfaces for stacktrace
and stackdepot.
4) Cleaning up the mess at the callsites including some related
cleanups.
5) Removing the struct stack_trace based interfaces
This is not changing the struct stack_trace interfaces at the
architecture level, but it removes the exposure to the generic
code'"

LEVEL is a very common word, and now after many years it suddenly
clashed with another LEVEL define in the DRBD code.
Rename it to PA_ASM_LEVEL instead.

PA-RISC uses a global spinlock to protect pagetable updates in the TLB
fault handlers. When multiple cores are taking TLB faults simultaneously,
the cache line containing the spinlock becomes a bottleneck.
This patch embeds the spinlock in the top level page directory, so that
every process has its own lock. It improves performance by 30% when
doing parallel compilations.
At least on the N class systems, only one PxTLB inter processor
broadcast can be active at any one time on the Merced bus. If a Merced
bus is found, this patch serializes the TLB flushes with the
pa_tlb_flush_lock spinlock.

There are only a couple of instructions that can function as a memory
barrier on parisc. Currently, we use the sync instruction as a memory
barrier when releasing a spinlock. However, the ldcw instruction is a
better barrier when we have a handy memory location since it operates in
the cache on coherent machines.
This patch updates the spinlock release code to use ldcw. I also
changed the "stw,ma" instructions to "stw" instructions as it is not an
adequate barrier.

TLB operations only need to be serialized on machines with the Merced
(Stretch) bus. The only machines in this category are L and N class, and
they require a 64-bit PA 2.0 kernel. On these machines, we use local TLB
purges in the tmpalias routines.
We don't need to serialize TLB purges on all other machines. Thus, the
lock/unlock code can be removed when CONFIG_PA20 is not defined.
Further, when CONFIG_PA20 is not defined, alternative patching converts
the TLB purges to local purges when PA 2.0 hardware has been detected.

The commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an
external fragmentation event occurs") breaks memory management on a
parisc c8000 workstation with this memory layout:
0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size 1024 MB
1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001bfdfffff Size 3070 MB
2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size 3072 MB
With the patch 1c30844d2dfe, the kernel will incorrectly reclaim the
first zone when it fills up, ignoring the fact that there are two
completely free zones. Basiscally, it limits cache size to 1GiB.
The parisc kernel is currently using the DISCONTIGMEM implementation,
but isn't NUMA. Avoid this issue or strange work-arounds by switching to
the more commonly used SPARSEMEM implementation.

The idle task might have been allocated above 4GB. With the current code
we cannot access that memory because the CPU is still running in narrow
mode.
This was found on a J5000 machine and the patch is required to enable
SPARSEMEM on that machine.
