[ Upstream commit 6282edb72bed5324352522d732080d4c1b9dfed6 ]

Exynos SoCs based on CA7/CA15 have 2 timer interfaces: custom Exynos MCT
(Multi Core Timer) and standard ARM Architected Timers.

There are use cases, where both timer interfaces are used simultanously.
One of such examples is using Exynos MCT for the main system timer and
ARM Architected Timers for the KVM and virtualized guests (KVM requires
arch timers).

Exynos Multi-Core Timer driver (exynos_mct) must be however started
before ARM Architected Timers (arch_timer), because they both share some
common hardware blocks (global system counter) and turning on MCT is
needed to get ARM Architected Timer working properly.

To ensure selecting Exynos MCT as the main system timer, increase MCT
timer rating. To ensure proper starting order of both timers during
suspend/resume cycle, increase MCT hotplug priority over ARM Archictected
Timers.

commit 83b44fe343b5abfcb1b2261289bd0cfcfcfd60a8 upstream.

The cacheinfo structures are alloced/freed by cpu online/offline
callbacks. Originally these were only used by sysfs to expose the
cache topology to user space. Without any in-kernel dependencies
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN was an appropriate choice.

resctrl has started using these structures to identify CPUs that
share a cache. It updates its 'domain' structures from cpu
online/offline callbacks. These depend on the cacheinfo structures
(resctrl_online_cpu()-&gt;domain_add_cpu()-&gt;get_cache_id()-&gt;
 get_cpu_cacheinfo()).
These also run as CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN.

Now that there is an in-kernel dependency, move the cacheinfo
work earlier so we know its done before resctrl's CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN
work runs.

commit 78f4e932f7760d965fb1569025d1576ab77557c5 upstream.

Adric Blake reported the following warning during suspend-resume:

  Enabling non-boot CPUs ...
  x86: Booting SMP configuration:
  smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x2
  unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0x10f (tried to write 0x0000000000000000) \

The MSR in question is MSR_TFA_RTM_FORCE_ABORT and that MSR is emulated
by microcode. The log above shows that the microcode loader callback
happens after the PMU restoration, leading to the conjecture that
because the microcode hasn't been updated yet, that MSR is not present
yet, leading to the #GP.

Add a microcode loader-specific hotplug vector which comes before
the PERF vectors and thus executes earlier and makes sure the MSR is
present.

commit 26456f87aca7157c057de65c9414b37f1ab881d1 upstream.

The timer wheel bases are not (re)initialized on CPU hotplug. That leaves
them with a potentially stale clk and next_expiry valuem, which can cause
trouble then the CPU is plugged.

Add a prepare callback which forwards the clock, sets next_expiry to far in
the future and reset the control flags to a known state.

Set base-&gt;must_forward_clk so the first timer which is queued will try to
forward the clock to current jiffies.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<content type='text'>
Add a sysfs file to one-time fail a specific state. This can be used
to test the state rollback code paths.

Something like this (hotplug-up.sh):

  #!/bin/bash

  echo 0 &gt; /debug/sched_debug
  echo 1 &gt; /debug/tracing/events/cpuhp/enable

  ALL_STATES=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/hotplug/states | cut -d':' -f1`
  STATES=${1:-$ALL_STATES}

  for state in $STATES
  do
	  echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	  echo 0 &gt; /debug/tracing/trace
	  echo Fail state: $state
	  echo $state &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/hotplug/fail
	  cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/hotplug/fail
	  echo 1 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

	  cat /debug/tracing/trace &gt; hotfail-${state}.trace

	  sleep 1
  done

Can be used to test for all possible rollback (barring multi-instance)
scenarios on CPU-up, CPU-down is a trivial modification of the above.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity.
  Just lots of things all over the place.

  Some things of note include:

   - Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can
     count both core events as well as nest unit events (Memory
     controller etc).

   - Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid
     unnecessary Page Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the
     tree is not changing.

   - Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it
     closer to other architectures where possible.

   - Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to
     send IPIs to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all
     CPUs.

   - The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU
     systems. This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems
     with very sparse NUMA layouts.

   - STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32.

   - A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that
     pairs of cores may share an L2 cache.

   - Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing
     coprocessors, and initial support for using it with the NX
     compression accelerator.

   - Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for
     many new instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to
     implement the emulation needed to fixup alignment faults.

   - Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt
     controller.

  And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting,
  but I had to keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as
  always.

The CPU hotplug related code of this driver can be simplified by:

1) Consolidating the callbacks into a single state. The CPU thread can be
   torn down on the CPU which goes offline. There is no point in delaying
   that to the CPU dead state

2) Let the core code invoke the online/offline callbacks and remove the
   extra for_each_online_cpu() loops.
