[ Upstream commit ccfb5bd71d3d1228090a8633800ae7cdf42a94ac ]

After a partition migration, pseries_devicetree_update() processes
changes to the device tree communicated from the platform to
Linux. This is a relatively heavyweight operation, with multiple
device tree searches, memory allocations, and conversations with
partition firmware.

There's a few levels of nested loops which are bounded only by
decisions made by the platform, outside of Linux's control, and indeed
we have seen RCU stalls on large systems while executing this call
graph. Use cond_resched() in these loops so that the cpu is yielded
when needed.

commit b537ca6fede69a281dc524983e5e633d79a10a08 upstream.

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.

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

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>

<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.

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.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Fix endian problems with LE migration</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3df76a9dcc74d5f012b94ea01ed6e7aaf8362c5a</id>
<content type='text'>
RTAS events require arguments be passed in big endian while hypercalls
have their arguments passed in registers and the values should therefore
be in CPU endian.

The "ibm,suspend_me" 'RTAS' call makes a sequence of hypercalls to setup
one true RTAS call. This means that "ibm,suspend_me" is handled
specially in the ppc_rtas() syscall.

The ppc_rtas() syscall has its arguments in big endian and can therefore
pass these arguments directly to the RTAS call. "ibm,suspend_me" is
handled specially from within ppc_rtas() (by calling rtas_ibm_suspend_me())
which has left an endian bug on little endian systems due to the
requirement of hypercalls. The return value from rtas_ibm_suspend_me()
gets returned in cpu endian, and is left unconverted, also a bug on
little endian systems.

rtas_ibm_suspend_me() does not actually make use of the rtas_args that
it is passed. This patch removes the convoluted use of the rtas_args
struct to pass params to rtas_ibm_suspend_me() in favour of passing what
it needs as actual arguments. This patch also ensures the two callers of
rtas_ibm_suspend_me() pass function parameters in cpu endian and in the
case of ppc_rtas(), converts the return value.

migrate_store() (the other caller of rtas_ibm_suspend_me()) is from a
sysfs file which deals with everything in cpu endian so this function
only underwent cleanup.

This patch has been tested with KVM both LE and BE and on PowerVM both
LE and BE. Under QEMU/KVM the migration happens without touching these
code pathes.

For PowerVM there is no obvious regression on BE and the LE code path
now provides the correct parameters to the hypervisor.

A lot of the code in platforms/pseries is using non-machine initcalls.
That means if a kernel built with pseries support runs on another
platform, for example powernv, the initcalls will still run.

Most of these cases are OK, though sometimes only due to luck. Some were
having more effect:

 * hcall_inst_init
  - Checking FW_FEATURE_LPAR which is set on ps3 &amp; celleb.
 * mobility_sysfs_init
  - created sysfs files unconditionally
  - but no effect due to ENOSYS from rtas_ibm_suspend_me()
 * apo_pm_init
  - created sysfs, allows write
  - nothing checks the value written to though
 * alloc_dispatch_log_kmem_cache
  - creating kmem_cache on non-pseries machines
