I am getting the following warning when I build kernel 4.9-git on my
PowerBook G4 with a 32-bit PPC processor:AS arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S:299:7: warning: "CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE" is not defined [-Wundef]This problem is evident after commit 989cea5c14be ("kbuild: prevent
lib-ksyms.o rebuilds"); however, this change in kbuild only exposes an
error that has been in the code since 2005 when this source file was
created. That was with commit 9994a33865f4 ("powerpc: Introduce
entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S").The offending line does not make a lot of sense. This error does not
seem to cause any errors in the executable, thus I am not recommending
that it be applied to any stable versions.Thanks to Nicholas Piggin for suggesting this solution.

Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
timers/timekeeping.- Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
helpful and caused more confusion than clarity- Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
some time ago.That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.
Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
manual mopping up"* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value

Patch series "ima: carry the measurement list across kexec", v8.
The TPM PCRs are only reset on a hard reboot. In order to validate a
TPM's quote after a soft reboot (eg. kexec -e), the IMA measurement
list of the running kernel must be saved and then restored on the
subsequent boot, possibly of a different architecture.The existing securityfs binary_runtime_measurements file conveniently
provides a serialized format of the IMA measurement list. This patch
set serializes the measurement list in this format and restores it.Up to now, the binary_runtime_measurements was defined as architecture
native format. The assumption being that userspace could and would
handle any architecture conversions. With the ability of carrying the
measurement list across kexec, possibly from one architecture to a
different one, the per boot architecture information is lost and with it
the ability of recalculating the template digest hash. To resolve this
problem, without breaking the existing ABI, this patch set introduces
the boot command line option "ima_canonical_fmt", which is arbitrarily
defined as little endian.The need for this boot command line option will be limited to the
existing version 1 format of the binary_runtime_measurements.
Subsequent formats will be defined as canonical format (eg. TPM 2.0
support for larger digests).A simplified method of Thiago Bauermann's "kexec buffer handover" patch
series for carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec is included in
this patch set. The simplified method requires all file measurements be
taken prior to executing the kexec load, as subsequent measurements will
not be carried across the kexec and restored.This patch (of 10):
The IMA kexec buffer allows the currently running kernel to pass the
measurement list via a kexec segment to the kernel that will be kexec'd.
The second kernel can check whether the previous kernel sent the buffer
and retrieve it.This is the architecture-specific part which enables IMA to receive the
measurement list passed by the previous kernel. It will be used in the
next patch.The change in machine_kexec_64.c is to factor out the logic of removing
an FDT memory reservation so that it can be used by remove_ima_buffer.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1480554346-29071-2-git-send-email-zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com

"Highlights include:- Support for the kexec_file_load() syscall, which is a prereq for
secure and trusted boot.- Prevent kernel execution of userspace on P9 Radix (similar to
SMEP/PXN).- Sort the exception tables at build time, to save time at boot, and
store them as relative offsets to save space in the kernel image &
memory.- Allow building the kernel with thin archives, which should allow us
to build an allyesconfig once some other fixes land.- Build fixes to allow us to correctly rebuild when changing the
kernel endian from big to little or vice versa.- Plumbing so that we can avoid doing a full mm TLB flush on P9
Radix.- Initial stack protector support (-fstack-protector).
- Support for dumping the radix (aka. Linux) and hash page tables via
debugfs.- Fix an oops in cxl coredump generation when cxl_get_fd() is used.
- Freescale updates from Scott: "Highlights include 8xx hugepage
support, qbman fixes/cleanup, device tree updates, and some misc
cleanup."- Many and varied fixes and minor enhancements as always.

Pull smp hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the final round of converting the notifier mess to the state
machine. The removal of the notifiers and the related infrastructure
will happen around rc1, as there are conversions outstanding in other
trees.The whole exercise removed about 2000 lines of code in total and in
course of the conversion several dozen bugs got fixed. The new
mechanism allows to test almost every hotplug step standalone, so
usage sites can exercise all transitions extensively.There is more room for improvement, like integrating all the
pointlessly different architecture mechanisms of synchronizing,
setting cpus online etc into the core code"* 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (60 commits)

Independent of whether the vma is for anonymous memory, some arches like
ppc64 would like to override pmd_move_must_withdraw().One option is to encapsulate the vma_is_anonymous() check for general
architectures inside pmd_move_must_withdraw() so that is always called
and architectures that need unconditional overriding can override this
function. ppc64 needs to override the function when the MMU is
configured to use hash PTE's.[bsingharora@gmail.com: reworked changelog]

Patch series "enable movable nodes on non-x86 configs", v7.
This patchset allows more configs to make use of movable nodes. When
CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE is selected, there are two ways to introduce such
nodes into the system:1. Discover movable nodes at boot. Currently this is only possible on
x86, but we will enable configs supporting fdt to do the same.2. Hotplug and online all of a node's memory using online_movable. This
is already possible on any config supporting memory hotplug, not
just x86, but the Kconfig doesn't say so. We will fix that.We'll also remove some cruft on power which would prevent (2).
This patch (of 5):
Remove the check which prevents us from hotplugging into an empty node.
The original commit b226e4621245 ("[PATCH] powerpc: don't add memory to
empty node/zone"), states that this was intended to be a temporary measure.
It is a workaround for an oops which no longer occurs.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1479160961-25840-2-git-send-email-arbab@linux.vnet.ibm.com

With commit e77b0852b551 ("mm/mmu_gather: track page size with mmu
gather and force flush if page size change") we added the ability to
force a tlb flush when the page size change in a mmu_gather loop. We
did that by checking for a page size change every time we added a page
to mmu_gather for lazy flush/remove. We can improve that by moving the
page size change check early and not doing it every time we add a page.This also helps us to do tlb flush when invalidating a range covering
dax mapping. Wrt dax mapping we don't have a backing struct page and
hence we don't call tlb_remove_page, which earlier forced the tlb flush
on page size change. Moving the page size change check earlier means we
will do the same even for dax mapping.We also avoid doing this check on architecture other than powerpc.
In a later patch we will remove page size check from tlb_remove_page().

The main changes were:

preemption status of vCPUs and use it in locking primitives - this
optimizes paravirt performance. (Pan Xinhui, Juergen Gross,

clean up and improve the s390 lock yielding machinery and its core

- Reluctantly add the to-be-deprecated mutex_trylock_recursive()
interface on a temporary basis, to give the DRM code more time to
get rid of its locking hacks. Any other users will be NAK-ed on
sight. (We turned off the deprecation warning for the time being to
not pollute the build log.) (Peter Zijlstra)- Improve the rtmutex code a bit, in light of recent long lived

8xx uses a two level page table with two different linux page size
support (4k and 16k). 8xx also support two different hugepage sizes
512k and 8M. In order to support them on linux we define two different
page table layout.The size of pages is in the PGD entry, using PS field (bits 28-29):
00 : Small pages (4k or 16k)
01 : 512k pages
10 : reserved
11 : 8M pagesFor 512K hugepage size a pgd entry have the below format
[0101] . The hugepte table allocated will contain 8
entries pointing to 512K huge pte in 4k pages mode and 64 entries in
16k pages mode.For 8M in 16k mode, a pgd entry have the below format
[1101] . The hugepte table allocated will contain 8
entries pointing to 8M huge pte.For 8M in 4k mode, multiple pgd entries point to the same hugepte
address and pgd entry will have the below format
[1101]. The hugepte table allocated will only have one
entry.For the time being, we do not support CPU15 ERRATA when HUGETLB is

Today there are two implementations of hugetlbpages which are managed
by exclusive #ifdefs:
* FSL_BOOKE: several directory entries points to the same single hugepage
* BOOK3S: one upper level directory entry points to a table of hugepagesIn preparation of implementation of hugepage support on the 8xx, we
need a mix of the two above solutions, because the 8xx needs both cases
depending on the size of pages:
* In 4k page size mode, each PGD entry covers a 4M bytes area. It means
that 2 PGD entries will be necessary to cover an 8M hugepage while a
single PGD entry will cover 8x 512k hugepages.
* In 16 page size mode, each PGD entry covers a 64M bytes area. It means
that 8x 8M hugepages will be covered by one PGD entry and 64x 512k
hugepages will be covers by one PGD entry.This patch:
* removes #ifdefs in favor of if/else based on the range sizes
* merges the two huge_pte_alloc() functions as they are pretty similar
* merges the two hugetlbpage_init() functions as they are pretty similarSigned-off-by: Christophe Leroy

Today powerpc64 uses a set of pgtable_caches while powerpc32 uses
standard pages when using 4k pages and a single pgtable_cache
if using other size pages.In preparation of implementing huge pages on the 8xx, this patch
replaces the specific powerpc32 handling by the 64 bits approach.This is done by:
* moving 64 bits pgtable_cache_add() and pgtable_cache_init()
in a new file called init-common.c
* modifying pgtable_cache_init() to also handle the case
without PMD
* removing the 32 bits version of pgtable_cache_add() and
pgtable_cache_init()
* copying related header contents from 64 bits into both the
book3s/32 and nohash/32 header filesOn the 8xx, the following cache sizes will be used:
* 4k pages mode:
- PGT_CACHE(10) for PGD
- PGT_CACHE(3) for 512k hugepage tables
* 16k pages mode:
- PGT_CACHE(6) for PGD
- PGT_CACHE(7) for 512k hugepage tables
- PGT_CACHE(3) for 8M hugepage tablesSigned-off-by: Christophe Leroy
