<id>urn:sha1:0c3beacf681ec897e0b36685a9b49d01f5cb2dfb</id>
<content type='text'>
Several architectures support text patching, but they name the header
files that declare patching functions differently.

Make all such headers consistently named text-patching.h and add an empty
header in asm-generic for architectures that do not support text patching.

Since commit 5c4233cc0920 ("powerpc/kdump: Split KEXEC_CORE and
CRASH_DUMP dependency"), crashing_cpu is not available without
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP. Fix compile error on 64-BIT 85xx owing to this
change.

<title>powerpc/64e: Fix secondary thread bringup for ELFv2 kernels</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2dc0bc1138eecc88b2c376ccb0b0acb215c25a5c</id>
<content type='text'>
When booting on e6500 with an ELF v2 ABI kernel, the secondary threads do
not start correctly:

    [    0.051118] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
    [    5.072700] Processor 1 is stuck.

This occurs because the startup code is written to use function
descriptors when loading the entry point for the secondary threads. When
building with ELF v2 ABI there are no function descriptors, and the code
loads junk values for the entry point address.

Fix it by using ppc_function_entry() in C, and DOTSYM() in asm, both of
which work correctly for ELF v2 ABI as well as ELF v1 ABI kernels.

<title>powerpc/85xx: Fix virt_to_phys() off-by-one in smp_85xx_start_cpu()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0d897255e79e26f471d10bbf72db9eee6f9cb723</id>
<content type='text'>
In smp_85xx_start_cpu() we are passed an address but we're unsure if
it's a real or virtual address, so there's a check to determine that.

The check has an off-by-one in that it tests if the address is greater
than high_memory, but high_memory is the first address of high memory,
so the check should be greater-or-equal.

It seems this has never been a problem in practice, but it also triggers
the DEBUG_VIRTUAL checks in __pa() which we would like to avoid. We can
fix both issues by converting high_memory - 1 to a physical address and
testing against that.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Optimise radix KVM guest entry/exit by 2x on Power9/Power10.

 - Allow firmware to tell us whether to disable the entry and uaccess
   flushes on Power10 or later CPUs.

 - Add BPF_PROBE_MEM support for 32 and 64-bit BPF jits.

 - Several fixes and improvements to our hard lockup watchdog.

 - Activate HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS on 32-bit.

 - Allow building the 64-bit Book3S kernel without hash MMU support, ie.
   Radix only.

 - Add KUAP (SMAP) support for 40x, 44x, 8xx, Book3E (64-bit).

 - Add new encodings for perf_mem_data_src.mem_hops field, and use them
   on Power10.

 - A series of small performance improvements to 64-bit interrupt entry.

 - Several commits fixing issues when building with the clang integrated
   assembler.

 - Many other small features and fixes.

When CONFIG_SMP=y, timebase synchronization is required when the second
kernel is started.

arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:
  int __cpu_up(unsigned int cpu, struct task_struct *tidle)
  {
  	...
  	if (smp_ops-&gt;give_timebase)
  		smp_ops-&gt;give_timebase();
  	...
  }

  void start_secondary(void *unused)
  {
  	...
  	if (smp_ops-&gt;take_timebase)
  		smp_ops-&gt;take_timebase();
  	...
  }

When CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n and CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n,
 smp_85xx_ops.give_timebase is NULL,
 smp_85xx_ops.take_timebase is NULL,
As a result, the timebase is not synchronized.

Timebase  synchronization does not depend on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

We have smp_ops-&gt;cpu_die() and ppc_md.cpu_die(). One of them offlines
the current CPU and one offlines another CPU, can you guess which is
which? Also one is in smp_ops and one is in ppc_md?

So rename ppc_md.cpu_die(), to cpu_offline_self(), because that's what
it does. And move it into smp_ops where it belongs.

The replacement of &lt;asm/pgrable.h&gt; with &lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; made the include
of the latter in the middle of asm includes.  Fix this up with the aid of
the below script and manual adjustments here and there.

	if len(sys.argv) is not 3:
	    print "USAGE: %s &lt;file&gt; &lt;header&gt;" % (sys.argv[0])
	    sys.exit(1)

	hdr_to_move="#include &lt;linux/%s&gt;" % sys.argv[2]
	moved = False
	in_hdrs = False

	with open(sys.argv[1], "r") as f:
	    lines = f.readlines()
	    for _line in lines:
