<title>locking/atomic: powerpc: move to ARCH_ATOMIC</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9eaa82935dccb74a22e3da5045bed1dac59ad2b0</id>
<content type='text'>
We'd like all architectures to convert to ARCH_ATOMIC, as once all
architectures are converted it will be possible to make significant
cleanups to the atomics headers, and this will make it much easier to
generically enable atomic functionality (e.g. debug logic in the
instrumented wrappers).

As a step towards that, this patch migrates powerpc to ARCH_ATOMIC. The
arch code provides arch_{atomic,atomic64,xchg,cmpxchg}*(), and common
code wraps these with optional instrumentation to provide the regular
functions.

While atomic_try_cmpxchg_lock() is not part of the common atomic API, it
is given an `arch_` prefix for consistency.

<title>powerpc: Fix update form addressing in inline assembly</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ff57698a9610fcf7d9c4469bf68c881eff22e2f8</id>
<content type='text'>
In several places, inline assembly uses the "%Un" modifier
to enable the use of instruction with update form addressing,
but the associated "&lt;&gt;" constraint is missing.

As mentioned in previous patch, this fails with gcc 4.9, so
"&lt;&gt;" can't be used directly.

Use UPD_CONSTR macro everywhere %Un modifier is used.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks &amp; rwlocks.

 - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
   Power9 or later.

 - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
   unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
   to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
   userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.

 - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
   checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
   architectures.

 - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
   code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
   systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.

 - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.

 - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
   stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.

 - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
   usual.

This patch moves ATOMIC_INIT from asm/atomic.h into linux/types.h.
This allows users of atomic_t to use ATOMIC_INIT without having to
include atomic.h as that way may lead to header loops.

This brings the behaviour of the uncontended fast path back to roughly
equivalent to simple spinlocks -- a single atomic op with lock hint.

<title>locking/atomic, powerpc: Use s64 for atomic64</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8cd8de59748ba71b476d1b7101f9ecaccd5cb8c2</id>
<content type='text'>
As a step towards making the atomic64 API use consistent types treewide,
let's have the powerpc atomic64 implementation use s64 as the underlying
type for atomic64_t, rather than long, matching the generated headers.

As atomic64_read() depends on the generic defintion of atomic64_t, this
still returns long on 64-bit. This will be converted in a subsequent
patch.

Otherwise, there should be no functional change as a result of this
patch.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - A fix for a bug in our page table fragment allocator, where a page
     table page could be freed and reallocated for something else while
     still in use, leading to memory corruption etc. The fix reuses
     pt_mm in struct page (x86 only) for a powerpc only refcount.

   - Fixes to our pkey support. Several are user-visible changes, but
     bring us in to line with x86 behaviour and/or fix outright bugs.
     Thanks to Florian Weimer for reporting many of these.

   - A series to improve the hvc driver &amp; related OPAL console code,
     which have been seen to cause hardlockups at times. The hvc driver
     changes in particular have been in linux-next for ~month.

   - Increase our MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to 128TB when SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y.

   - Remove Power8 DD1 and Power9 DD1 support, neither chip should be in
     use anywhere other than as a paper weight.

   - An optimised memcmp implementation using Power7-or-later VMX
     instructions

   - Support for barrier_nospec on some NXP CPUs.

   - Support for flushing the count cache on context switch on some IBM
     CPUs (controlled by firmware), as a Spectre v2 mitigation.

   - A series to enhance the information we print on unhandled signals
     to bring it into line with other arches, including showing the
     offending VMA and dumping the instructions around the fault.
