commit f862eefec0b68e099a9fa58d3761ffb10bad97e1 upstream.

It turns out the kernel relies on barrier() to force a reload of the
percpu offset value.  Since we can't easily modify the definition of
barrier() to include "tp" as an output register, we instead provide a
definition of __my_cpu_offset as extended assembly that includes a fake
stack read to hazard against barrier(), forcing gcc to know that it
must reread "tp" and recompute anything based on "tp" after a barrier.

This fixes observed hangs in the slub allocator when we are looping
on a percpu cmpxchg_double.

A similar fix for ARMv7 was made in June in change 509eb76ebf97.

<title>mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts</title>

commit 4b59e6c4730978679b414a8da61514a2518da512 upstream.

On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.

In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified.  In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.

To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the
page allocation failure warning.

2)Handle page #0 only, don't handle page #1: bleu -&gt; blu

  is possible in the future. Fix to not to have problems later.)

commit d9813c3681a36774b254c0cdc9cce53c9e22c756 upstream.

The csum_partial_copy_generic() uses register r7 to adjust the remaining
bytes to process.  Unfortunately, r7 also holds a parameter, namely the
address of the flag to set in case of access exceptions while reading
the source buffer.  Lacking a quantum implementation of PowerPC, this
commit instead uses register r9 to do the adjusting, leaving r7's
pointer uncorrupted.

commit e82b89a6f19bae73fb064d1b3dd91fcefbb478f4 upstream.

modalias_show() should return an empty string on error, not -ENODEV.

This causes the following false and annoying error:

&gt; find /sys/devices -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat &gt;/dev/null
cat: /sys/devices/vio/4000/modalias: No such device
cat: /sys/devices/vio/4001/modalias: No such device

<title>powerpc/iommu: Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC in iommu_init_table()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e6629f15623d31e21775a1e5c28b8d5bd6559506</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1cf389df090194a0976dc867b7fffe99d9d490cb upstream.

Under heavy (DLPAR?) stress, we tripped this panic() in
arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c::iommu_init_table():

	page = alloc_pages_node(nid, GFP_ATOMIC, get_order(sz));
	if (!page)
		panic("iommu_init_table: Can't allocate %ld bytes\n", sz);

Before the panic() we got a page allocation failure for an order-2
allocation. There appears to be memory free, but perhaps not in the
ATOMIC context. I looked through all the call-sites of
iommu_init_table() and didn't see any obvious reason to need an ATOMIC
allocation. Most call-sites in fact have an explicit GFP_KERNEL
allocation shortly before the call to iommu_init_table(), indicating we
are not in an atomic context. There is some indirection for some paths,
but I didn't see any locks indicating that GFP_KERNEL is inappropriate.

With this change under the same conditions, we have not been able to
reproduce the panic.
