[ Upstream commit a841fd009e51c8c0a8f07c942e9ab6bb48da8858 ]

for_each_node_by_name performs an of_node_get on each iteration, so
a break out of the loop requires an of_node_put.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that fixes this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr):

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@
expression e,e1;
local idexpression n;
@@

 for_each_node_by_name(n, e1) {
   ... when != of_node_put(n)
       when != e = n
(
   return n;
|
+  of_node_put(n);
?  return ...;
)
   ...
 }
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

[ Upstream commit b648a5132ca3237a0f1ce5d871fff342b0efcf8a ]

The kernel test robot pointed out a slightly different error message
after recent commit 5456ffdee666 ("powerpc/spufs: simplify spufs core
dumping") to spufs for a configuration that never worked:

   powerpc64-linux-ld: arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.o: in function `.spufs_proxydma_info_dump':
&gt;&gt; file.c:(.text+0x4c68): undefined reference to `.dump_emit'

   file.c:(.text+0x4df4): undefined reference to `.dump_emit'

Add a Kconfig dependency to prevent this from happening again.

[ Upstream commit 88413a6bfbbe2f648df399b62f85c934460b7a4d ]

Currently, we may perform a copy_to_user (through
simple_read_from_buffer()) while holding a context's register_lock,
while accessing the context save area.

This change uses a temporary buffer for the context save area data,
which we then pass to simple_read_from_buffer.

[ Upstream commit 99acc9bede06bbb2662aafff51f5b9e529fa845e ]

If a process dumps core while it has SPU contexts active then we have
code to also dump information about the SPU contexts.

Unfortunately it's been broken for 3 1/2 years, and we didn't notice. In
commit 7b1f4020d0d1 ("spufs: get rid of dump_emit() wrappers") the nread
variable was removed and rc used instead. That means when the loop exits
successfully, rc has the number of bytes read, but it's then used as the
return value for the function, which should return 0 on success.

So fix it by setting rc = 0 before returning in the success case.

The struct irq_domain contains a "struct device_node *" field
(of_node) that is almost the only link between the irqdomain
and the device tree infrastructure.

In order to prepare for the removal of that field, convert all
users to use irq_domain_get_of_node() instead.

<content type='text'>
Currently, little endian is only supported on powernv and pseries,
however, Kconfigs still allow us to include other platforms in a LE
kernel, this may result in space wasting or even build error if some
BE-only platforms always assume they are built for a BE kernel. So just
modify the Kconfigs of BE-only platforms to remove them from being built
for a LE kernel.

For 32bit only platforms, nothing needs to be done, because
CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN depends on PPC64. For 64bit supported platforms, add
CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to dependencies explicitly, so that these platforms will
be disabled for LE [Suggested-by: Cédric Le Goater &lt;clg@fr.ibm.com&gt;].

Most interrupt flow handlers do not use the irq argument. Those few
which use it can retrieve the irq number from the irq descriptor.

Remove the argument.

Search and replace was done with coccinelle and some extra helper
scripts around it. Thanks to Julia for her help!

<title>mm: rename alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=96db800f5d73cd5c49461253d45766e094f0f8c2'/>
<id>urn:sha1:96db800f5d73cd5c49461253d45766e094f0f8c2</id>
<content type='text'>
alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a81 ("page
allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is
valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't
fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE.  Unfortunately the
name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is
restricted to the given node and fails otherwise.  In truth, the node is
only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags.

The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example
commits 5265047ac301 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage
allocation to local node") and b360edb43f8e ("mm, mempolicy:
migrate_to_node should only migrate to node").

Another issue with the name is that there's a family of
alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead
of page order), which leads to more confusion.

To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames
alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that
it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general
usage.  Both functions get described in comments.

It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for
allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that
__GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't
duplicate the API needlessly.  The number of users would be small
anyway.

Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to
call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent()
which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use
alloc_pages_node() instead.  This means it no longer performs some
VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in
alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid &lt; 0' comparison (which includes
NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously
exposed.

Both differences will be rectified by the next patch.

To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily
hiding potentially buggy callers.  Restricting the checks in
alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose
more existing buggy callers.
