<title>powerpc: Use octal numbers for file permissions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:57ad583f2086d55ada284c54bfc440123cf73964</id>
<content type='text'>
Symbolic macros are unintuitive and hard to read, whereas octal constants
are much easier to interpret.  Replace macros for the basic permission
flags (user/group/other read/write/execute) with numeric constants
instead, across the whole powerpc tree.

Introducing a significant number of changes across the tree for no runtime
benefit isn't exactly desirable, but so long as these macros are still
used in the tree people will keep sending patches that add them.  Not only
are they hard to parse at a glance, there are multiple ways of coming to
the same value (as you can see with 0444 and 0644 in this patch) which
hurts readability.

<content type='text'>
A reference to the parent device node is held by add_dt_node() for the
node to be added. If the call to dlpar_configure_connector() fails
add_dt_node() returns ENOENT and that reference is not freed.

Add a call to of_node_put(parent_dn) prior to bailing out after a
failed dlpar_configure_connector() call.

<content type='text'>
In preparation to stop storing the full node path in full_name, remove the
dependency on full_name from dlpar_attach_node(). Callers of
dlpar_attach_node() already have the parent device_node, so just pass the
parent node into dlpar_attach_node instead of the path. This avoids doing
a lookup of the parent node by the path.

There was only 2 remaining users of CLASS_ATTR() so let's finally get
rid of them and force everyone to use the correct RW/RO/WO versions
instead.

<content type='text'>
Extend the existing PRRN infrastructure to perform the actual affinity
updating for cpus and memory in addition to the device tree updating.
For cpus, dynamic affinity updating already appears to exist in the
kernel in the form of arch_update_cpu_topology(). For memory, we must
place a READD operation on the hotplug queue for any phandle included in
the PRRN event that is determined to be an LMB.

<title>powerpc: Update of_remove_property() call sites to remove null checking</title>

<id>urn:sha1:925e2d1ded80fcc92210c9a9e5009887553dd83f</id>
<content type='text'>
After obtaining a property from of_find_property() and before calling
of_remove_property() most code checks to ensure that the property
returned from of_find_property() is not null. The previous patch moved
this check to the start of the function of_remove_property() in order to
avoid the case where this check isn't done and a null value is passed.
This ensures the check is always conducted before taking locks and
attempting to remove the property. Thus it is no longer necessary to
perform a check for null values before invoking of_remove_property().

Update of_remove_property() call sites in order to remove redundant
checking for null property value as check is now performed within the
of_remove_property function().

<title>powerpc/pseries: Simplify check for suspendability during suspend/migration</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c03e73740d24fbe990291cd9ac2d6ae0d95b975f</id>
<content type='text'>
During suspend/migration operation we must wait for the VASI state reported
by the hypervisor to become Suspending prior to making the ibm,suspend-me
RTAS call. Calling routines to rtas_ibm_supend_me() pass a vasi_state variable
that exposes the VASI state to the caller. This is unnecessary as the caller
only really cares about the following three conditions; if there is an error
we should bailout, success indicating we have suspended and woken back up so
proceed to device tree update, or we are not suspendable yet so try calling
rtas_ibm_suspend_me again shortly.

This patch removes the extraneous vasi_state variable and simply uses the
return code to communicate how to proceed. We either succeed, fail, or get
-EAGAIN in which case we sleep for a second before trying to call
rtas_ibm_suspend_me again. The behaviour of ppc_rtas() remains the same,
but migrate_store() now returns the propogated error code on failure.
Previously -1 was returned from migrate_store() in the  failure case which
equates to -EPERM and was clearly wrong.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Introduce api_version to migration sysfs interface</title>

<id>urn:sha1:288a298c05774dde0a8d5abac9b692503d4e41f2</id>
<content type='text'>
The /sys/kernel/mobility/migration interface was added all the way back
in 2.6.37. However, the drmgr userspace tool was never augmented to use
this interface to perfrom migrations. Instead it has continued using a
faux rtas call coupled with performing the device tree update processing
in userspace and communicating it back to the kernel via the ugly
/proc/ppc64/ofdt interface.

Up until 3.12 the device tree update code in the kernel was badly broken
and bit rotting. This code was fixed in 3.12 and is now utilized by the
kernel suspend code as of 3.15. The kernel is now better suited to
handle the post-mobility fixup of the device tree and drmgr should be
transitioned to using the sysfs migration interface.

This patch introduces the api_version sysfs file to /sys/kernel/mobility
as a means for drmgr to query the current implementation level of the
kernel migration code. This initial versioning indicates it is capable
of perfroming all current PAPR requirements for migration including the
post-mobility firmware activation and device tree update.

<id>urn:sha1:f6ff04149637723261aa4738958b0098b929ee9e</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently use the device tree update code in the kernel after resuming
from a suspend operation to re-sync the kernels view of the device tree with
that of the hypervisor. The code as it stands is not endian safe as it relies
on parsing buffers returned by RTAS calls that thusly contains data in big
endian format.

This patch annotates variables and structure members with __be types as well
as performing necessary byte swaps to cpu endian for data that needs to be
parsed.
