Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Yet another big pile of changes:
- More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
need to think about the syscalls themself.
- A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
time at the call site.
- A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.
- A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.
- Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.
- Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.
- The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
really exciting"

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Note that in this cycle most of the x86 topics interacted at a level
that caused them to be merged into tip:x86/asm - but this should be a
temporary phenomenon, hopefully we'll back to the usual patterns in
the next merge window.
The main changes in this cycle were:
Hardware enablement:
- Add support for the Intel UMIP (User Mode Instruction Prevention)
CPU feature. This is a security feature that disables certain
instructions such as SGDT, SLDT, SIDT, SMSW and STR. (Ricardo Neri)
[ Note that this is disabled by default for now, there are some
smaller enhancements in the pipeline that I'll follow up with in
the next 1-2 days, which allows this to be enabled by default.]
- Add support for the AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) CPU
feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was
added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh)
- Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES,
VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG. (Gayatri Kammela)
Other changes:
- A big series of entry code simplifications and enhancements (Andy
Lutomirski)
- Make the ORC unwinder default on x86 and various objtool
enhancements. (Josh Poimboeuf)
- 5-level paging enhancements (Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Micro-optimize the entry code a bit (Borislav Petkov)
- Improve the handling of interdependent CPU features in the early
FPU init code (Andi Kleen)
- Build system enhancements (Changbin Du, Masahiro Yamada)
- ... plus misc enhancements, fixes and cleanups"

In preperation for a new function that will need additional resource
information during the resource walk, update the resource walk callback to
pass the resource structure. Since the current callback start and end
arguments are pulled from the resource structure, the callback functions
can obtain them from the resource structure directly.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
"Some more powerpc fixes for 4.14.
This is bigger than I like to send at rc7, but that's at least partly
because I didn't send any fixes last week. If it wasn't for the IMC
driver, which is new and getting heavy testing, the diffstat would
look a bit better. I've also added ftrace on big endian to my test
suite, so we shouldn't break that again in future.
- A fix to the handling of misaligned paste instructions (P9 only),
where a change to a #define has caused the check for the
instruction to always fail.
- The preempt handling was unbalanced in the radix THP flush (P9
only). Though we don't generally use preempt we want to keep it
working as much as possible.
- Two fixes for IMC (P9 only), one when booting with restricted
number of CPUs and one in the error handling when initialisation
fails due to firmware etc.
- A revert to fix function_graph on big endian machines, and then a
rework of the reverted patch to fix kprobes blacklist handling on
big endian machines.

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 & 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 >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <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.

belong to kernel text
This makes the changes introduced in commit 83e840c770f2c5
("powerpc64/elfv1: Only dereference function descriptor for non-text
symbols") to be specific to the kprobe subsystem.
We previously changed ppc_function_entry() to always check the provided
address to confirm if it needed to be dereferenced. This is actually
only an issue for kprobe blacklisted asm labels (through use of
_ASM_NOKPROBE_SYMBOL) and can cause other issues with ftrace. Also, the
additional checks are not really necessary for our other uses.
As such, move this check to the kprobes subsystem.

Commit 07d2a628bc00 ("powerpc/64s: Avoid cpabort in context switch
when possible", 2017-06-09) changed the definition of PPC_INST_COPY
and in so doing inadvertently broke the check for copy/paste
instructions in the alignment fault handler. The check currently
matches no instructions.
This fixes it by ANDing both sides of the comparison with the mask.

arch_spin_lock_flags()
arch_spin_lock_flags() is an internal part of the spinlock implementation
and is no longer available when SMP=n and DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y, so the PPC
RTAS code fails to compile in this configuration:
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c: In function 'lock_rtas':
>> arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:81:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'arch_spin_lock_flags' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
arch_spin_lock_flags(&rtas.lock, flags);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since there's no good reason to use arch_spin_lock_flags() here (the code
in question already calls local_irq_save(flags)), switch it over to
arch_spin_lock and get things building again.

When an interrupt occurs during the livepatch_handler execution, it's
possible for the livepatch_stack and/or thread_info to be corrupted.
eg:

Fix the corruption by using r11 register for livepatch stack
manipulation, instead of shuffling task stack and livepatch stack into
r1 register. Using r11 register also avoids disabling/enabling irq's

Pull watchddog clean-up and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"The watchdog (hard/softlockup detector) code is pretty much broken in
its current state. The patch series addresses this by removing all
duct tape and refactoring it into a workable state.
The reasons why I ask for inclusion that late in the cycle are:
1) The code causes lockdep splats vs. hotplug locking which get
reported over and over. Unfortunately there is no easy fix.
2) The risk of breakage is minimal because it's already broken
3) As 4.14 is a long term stable kernel, I prefer to have working
watchdog code in that and the lockdep issues resolved. I wouldn't
ask you to pull if 4.14 wouldn't be a LTS kernel or if the
solution would be easy to backport.
4) The series was around before the merge window opened, but then got
delayed due to the UP failure caused by the for_each_cpu()
surprise which we discussed recently.
Changes vs. V1:
- Addressed your review points
- Addressed the warning in the powerpc code which was discovered late
- Changed two function names which made sense up to a certain point
in the series. Now they match what they do in the end.
- Fixed a 'unused variable' warning, which got not detected by the
intel robot. I triggered it when trying all possible related config
combinations manually. Randconfig testing seems not random enough.
The changes have been tested by and reviewed by Don Zickus and tested

Currently it's possible that on returning from the signal handler
through the restore_tm_sigcontexts() code path (e.g. from a signal
caught due to a `trap` instruction executed in the middle of an HTM
block, or a deliberately constructed sigframe) an illegal TM state
(like TS=10 TM=0, i.e. "T0") is set in SRR1 and when `rfid` sets
implicitly the MSR register from SRR1 register on return to userspace
it causes a TM Bad Thing exception.
That illegal state can be set (a) by a malicious user that disables
the TM bit by tweaking the bits in uc_mcontext before returning from
the signal handler or (b) by a sufficient number of context switches
occurring such that the load_tm counter overflows and TM is disabled
whilst in the signal handler.
This commit fixes the illegal TM state by ensuring that TM bit is
always enabled before we return from restore_tm_sigcontexts(). A small
comment correction is made as well.

When using transactional memory (TM), the CPU can be in one of six
states as far as TM is concerned, encoded in the Machine State
Register (MSR). Certain state transitions are illegal and if attempted
trigger a "TM Bad Thing" type program check exception.
If we ever hit one of these exceptions it's treated as a bug, ie. we
oops, and kill the process and/or panic, depending on configuration.
One case where we can trigger a TM Bad Thing, is when returning to
userspace after a system call or interrupt, using RFID. When this
happens the CPU first restores the user register state, in particular
r1 (the stack pointer) and then attempts to update the MSR. However
the MSR update is not allowed and so we take the program check with
the user register state, but the kernel MSR.
This tricks the exception entry code into thinking we have a bad
kernel stack pointer, because the MSR says we're coming from the
kernel, but r1 is pointing to userspace.
To avoid this we instead always switch to the emergency stack if we
take a TM Bad Thing from the kernel. That way none of the user
register values are used, other than for printing in the oops message.
This is the fix for CVE-2017-1000255.

The rework of the core hotplug code triggers the WARN_ON in start_wd_cpu()
on powerpc because it is called multiple times for the boot CPU.
The first call is via:
start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0
watchdog_nmi_reconfigure+0x124/0x170
softlockup_reconfigure_threads+0x110/0x130
lockup_detector_init+0xbc/0xe0
kernel_init_freeable+0x18c/0x37c
kernel_init+0x2c/0x160
ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc
And then again via the CPU hotplug registration:
start_wd_on_cpu+0x80/0x2f0
cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x194/0x620
cpuhp_thread_fun+0x7c/0x1b0
smpboot_thread_fn+0x290/0x2a0
kthread+0x168/0x1b0
ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xbc
This can be avoided by setting up the cpu hotplug state with nocalls and
move the initialization to the watchdog_nmi_probe() function. That
initializes the hotplug callbacks without invoking the callback and the
following core initialization function then configures the watchdog for the
online CPUs (in this case CPU0) via softlockup_reconfigure_threads().

The recent cleanup of the watchdog code split watchdog_nmi_reconfigure()
into two stages. One to stop the NMI and one to restart it after
reconfiguration. That was done by adding a boolean 'run' argument to the
code, which is functionally correct but not necessarily a piece of art.
Replace it by two explicit functions: watchdog_nmi_stop() and
watchdog_nmi_start().

The mmu context on the 40x, 44x does not define pte_frag entry. This
causes gcc abort the compilation due to:
setup-common.c: In function ‘setup_arch’:
setup-common.c:908: error: ‘mm_context_t’ has no ‘pte_frag’
This patch fixes the issue by removing the pte_frag initialization in
setup-common.c.
This is possible, because the compiler will do the initialization,
since the mm_context is a sub struct of init_mm. init_mm is declared
in mm_types.h as external linkage.
According to C99 6.2.4.3:
An object whose identifier is declared with external linkage
[...] has static storage duration.
C99 defines in 6.7.8.10 that:
If an object that has static storage duration is not
initialized explicitly, then:
- if it has pointer type, it is initialized to a null pointer

Commit 41d0c2ecde19 ("powerpc/powernv: Fix local TLB flush for boot
and MCE on POWER9") introduced calls to __flush_tlb_power[89] from the
cpufeatures code, specifying the number of sets to flush.
However, these functions take an action argument, not a number of
sets. This means we hit the BUG() in __flush_tlb_{206,300} when using
cpufeatures-style configuration.
This change passes TLB_INVAL_SCOPE_GLOBAL instead.

On POWER9 DD2.1 and below, it's possible for a paste instruction to
cause a Machine Check Exception (MCE) where only DSISR bit 30 (IBM 33)
is set. This will result in the MCE handler seeing an unknown event,
which triggers linux to crash.
We change this by detecting unknown events caused by load/stores in
the MCE handler and marking them as handled so that we no longer
crash.
An MCE that occurs like this is spurious, so we don't need to do
anything in terms of servicing it. If there is something that needs to
be serviced, the CPU will raise the MCE again with the correct DSISR
so that it can be serviced properly.

Optprobes depended on an updated regs->nip from analyse_instr() to
identify the location to branch back from the optprobes trampoline.
However, since commit 3cdfcbfd32b9d ("powerpc: Change analyse_instr so
it doesn't modify *regs"), analyse_instr() doesn't update the registers
anymore. Due to this, we end up branching back from the optprobes
trampoline to the same branch into the trampoline resulting in a loop.
Fix this by calling out to emulate_update_regs() before using the nip.
Additionally, explicitly compare the return value from analyse_instr()
to 1, rather than just checking for !0 so as to guard against any
future changes to analyse_instr() that may result in -1 being returned
in more scenarios.

Commit cd63f3c ("powerpc/tm: Fix saving of TM SPRs in core dump")
added code to access TM SPRs in flush_tmregs_to_thread(). However
flush_tmregs_to_thread() does not check if TM feature is available on
CPU before trying to access TM SPRs in order to copy live state to
thread structures. flush_tmregs_to_thread() is indeed guarded by
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM but it might be the case that kernel
was compiled with CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM enabled and ran on
a CPU without TM feature available, thus rendering the execution
of TM instructions that are treated by the CPU as illegal instructions.
The fix is just to add proper checking in flush_tmregs_to_thread()
if CPU has the TM feature before accessing any TM-specific resource,
returning immediately if TM is no available on the CPU. Adding
that checking in flush_tmregs_to_thread() instead of in places
where it is called, like in vsr_get() and vsr_set(), is better because
avoids the same problem cropping up elsewhere.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"Life has been busy and I have not gotten half as much done this round
as I would have liked. I delayed it so that a minor conflict
resolution with the mips tree could spend a little time in linux-next
before I sent this pull request.
This includes two long delayed user namespace changes from Kirill
Tkhai. It also includes a very useful change from Serge Hallyn that
allows the security capability attribute to be used inside of user
namespaces. The practical effect of this is people can now untar
tarballs and install rpms in user namespaces. It had been suggested to
generalize this and encode some of the namespace information
information in the xattr name. Upon close inspection that makes the
things that should be hard easy and the things that should be easy
more expensive.
Then there is my bugfix/cleanup for signal injection that removes the
magic encoding of the siginfo union member from the kernel internal
si_code. The mips folks reported the case where I had used FPE_FIXME
me is impossible so I have remove FPE_FIXME from mips, while at the
same time including a return statement in that case to keep gcc from
complaining about unitialized variables.
I almost finished the work to get make copy_siginfo_to_user a trivial
copy to user. The code is available at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git neuter-copy_siginfo_to_user-v3
But I did not have time/energy to get the code posted and reviewed
before the merge window opened.
I was able to see that the security excuse for just copying fields
that we know are initialized doesn't work in practice there are buggy
initializations that don't initialize the proper fields in siginfo. So
we still sometimes copy unitialized data to userspace"

"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.
2)
while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids)
MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV.
Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids

memset() is patched after initialisation to activate the
optimised part which uses cache instructions.
Today we have a 'b 2f' to skip the optimised patch, which then gets
replaced by a NOP, implying a useless cycle consumption.
As we have a 'bne 2f' just before, we could use that instruction
for the live patching, hence removing the need to have a
dedicated 'b 2f' to be replaced by a NOP.
This patch changes the 'bne 2f' by a 'b 2f'. During init, that

This replaces almost all of the instruction emulation code in
fix_alignment() with calls to analyse_instr(), emulate_loadstore()
and emulate_dcbz(). The only emulation code left is the SPE
emulation code; analyse_instr() etc. do not handle SPE instructions
at present.
One result of this is that we can now handle alignment faults on
all the new VSX load and store instructions that were added in POWER9.
VSX loads/stores will take alignment faults for unaligned accesses
to cache-inhibited memory.
Another effect is that we no longer rely on the DAR and DSISR values
set by the processor.
With this, we now need to include the instruction emulation code
unconditionally.

Anton noticed that if we fault part way through emulating an unaligned
instruction, we don't update the DAR to reflect that.
The DAR value is eventually reported back to userspace as the address
in the SEGV signal, and if userspace is using that value to demand
fault then it can be confused by us not setting the value correctly.
This patch is ugly as hell, but is intended to be the minimal fix and
back ports easily.

In previous generations of Power processors each core had a private L2
cache. The Power 9 processor has a slightly different design where the
L2 cache is shared among pairs of cores rather than being completely
private.
Making the scheduler aware of this cache sharing allows the scheduler to
make better migration decisions. For example, if two CPU heavy tasks
share a core then one task can be migrated to the paired core to improve
throughput. Under the existing three level topology the task could be
migrated to any core on the same chip, while with the new topology it
would be preferentially migrated to the paired core so it remains
cache-hot.

The CPU scheduler topology is constructed from a number of per-cpu
cpumasks which describe which sets of logical CPUs are related in some
fashion. Current code that handles constructing these masks when CPUs
are hot(un)plugged can be simplified a bit by exploiting the fact that
the scheduler requires higher levels of the toplogy (e.g package level
groupings) to be supersets of the lower levels (e.g. threas in a core).
This patch reworks the cpumask construction to be simpler and easier to
extend with extra topology levels.

When building the CPU scheduler topology the kernel uses the ibm,chipid
property from the devicetree to group logical CPUs. Currently the DT
search for this property is open-coded in smp.c and this functionality
is a duplication of what's in cpu_to_chip_id() already. This patch
removes the existing search in favor of that.
It's worth mentioning that the semantics of the search are different
in cpu_to_chip_id(). When there is no ibm,chipid in the CPUs node it
will also search /cpus and / for the property, but this should not
effect the output topology.

.llong is an undocumented PPC specific directive. The generic
equivalent is .quad, but even better (because it's self describing) is
.8byte.
Convert all .llong directives to .8byte.

For a PCI device it's pci_dn can be retrieved from
pdev->dev.archdata.firmware_data, PCI_DN(devnode), or parent's list.
Thus, we should just use the existing function pci_get_pdn_by_devfn
to get the pci_dn.
