There are two versions of the clearfog - a base and a pro model. The
base model has an additional PHY on eth1, replacing the DSA switch on
the pro model. MPP assignments are slightly different. The base model
also omits the second PCIe, and footprint for a PIC microcontroller.
In order to cater for these differences, move all the existing clearfog
support to a dtsi file before starting to modify it, to make the
following changes more clear.

The optional SPI flash is fitted to the microsom, not the clearfog

The SPI flash #size-cells is specified in the binding documentation to
have value 1, but we were setting it to zero. This wasn't causing any
problem as we do not list any partitions, but it's worth specifying
correctly if we're going to specify it at all.

In commit 76624175dcae ("arm64: uaccess: consistently check object sizes"),
the object size checks are moved outside the access_ok() so that bad
destinations are detected before hitting the "memset(dest, 0, size)" in the
copy_from_user() failure path.
This makes the same change for arm, with attention given to possibly
extracting the uaccess routines into a common header file for all

Currently, if the kernel is running on a POWER9 processor under a
hypervisor, it may try to use the radix MMU even though it doesn't have
the necessary code to do so (it doesn't negotiate use of radix, and it
doesn't do the H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL hcall). If the hypervisor supports
both radix and HPT, then it will set up the guest to use HPT (since the
guest doesn't request radix in the CAS call), but if the radix feature
bit is set in the ibm,pa-features property (which is valid, since
ibm,pa-features is defined to represent the capabilities of the
processor) the guest will try to use radix, resulting in a crash when
it turns the MMU on.
This makes the minimal fix for the current code, which is to disable
radix unless we are running in hypervisor mode.

GCC complains about unused variable 'vma' in mark_screen_rdonly() if THP is
disabled:
arch/x86/kernel/vm86_32.c: In function ‘mark_screen_rdonly’:
arch/x86/kernel/vm86_32.c:180:26: warning: unused variable ‘vma’
[-Wunused-variable]
struct vm_area_struct *vma = find_vma(mm, 0xA0000);
That's silly. pmd_trans_huge() resolves to 0 when THP is disabled, so the
whole block should be eliminated.
Moving the variable declaration outside the if() block shuts GCC up.

CONFIG_KASAN=y needs a lot of virtual memory mapped for its shadow.
In that case ptdump_walk_pgd_level_core() takes a lot of time to
walk across all page tables and doing this without
a rescheduling causes soft lockups:
NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 23s! [swapper/0:1]
...
Call Trace:
ptdump_walk_pgd_level_core+0x40c/0x550

mark_rodata_ro+0x13b/0x150
kernel_init+0x2f/0x120
ret_from_fork+0x2c/0x40
I guess that this issue might arise even without KASAN on huge machines
with several terabytes of RAM.
Stick cond_resched() in pgd loop to fix this.

When the TSC is marked reliable then the synchronization check is skipped,
but that also skips the TSC ADJUST sanitizing code. So on a machine with a
wreckaged BIOS the TSC deviation between CPUs might go unnoticed.
Let the TSC adjust sanitizing code run unconditionally and just skip the
expensive synchronization checks when TSC is marked reliable.

Olof reported that on a machine which has a BIOS wreckaged TSC the
timestamps in dmesg are making a large jump because the TSC value is
jumping forward after resetting the TSC ADJUST register to a sane value.
This can be avoided by calling the TSC ADJUST saniziting function before
initializing the per cpu sched clock machinery. That takes the offset into
account and avoid the time jump.
What cannot be avoided is that the 'Firmware Bug' warnings on the secondary
CPUs are printed with the large time offsets because it would be too much
effort and ugly hackery to print those warnings into a buffer and emit them
after the adjustemt on the starting CPUs. It's a firmware bug and should be
fixed in firmware. The weird timestamps are collateral damage and just
illustrate the sillyness of the BIOS folks:

Three tiny changes to the ERAT flushing logic: First don't make
it depend on DD1. It hasn't been decided yet but we might run
DD2 in a mode that also requires explicit flushes for performance
reasons so make it unconditional. We also add a missing isync, and
finally remove the flush from _tlbiel_va as it is only necessary
for congruence-class invalidations (PID, LPID and full TLB), not
targetted invalidations.

When autonuma (Automatic NUMA balancing) marks a PTE inaccessible it
clears all the protection bits but leave the PTE valid.
With the Radix MMU, an attempt at executing from such a PTE will
take a fault with bit 35 of SRR1 set "SRR1_ISI_N_OR_G".
It is thus incorrect to treat all such faults as errors. We should
pass them to handle_mm_fault() for autonuma to deal with. The case
of pages that are really not executable is handled by the existing
test for VM_EXEC further down.
That leaves us with catching the kernel attempts at executing user
pages. We can catch that earlier, even before we do find_vma.
It is never valid on powerpc for the kernel to take an exec fault
to begin with. So fold that test with the existing test for the
kernel faulting on kernel addresses to bail out early.

Commit:
a33d331761bc ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")
restored the initial approach we had with the Fam15h topology of
enumerating CU (Compute Unit) threads as cores. And this is still
correct - they're beefier than HT threads but still have some
shared functionality.
Our current approach has a problem with the Mad Max Steam game, for
example. Yves Dionne reported a certain "choppiness" while playing on
v4.9.5.
That problem stems most likely from the fact that the CU threads share
resources within one CU and when we schedule to a thread of a different
compute unit, this incurs latency due to migrating the working set to a
different CU through the caches.
When the thread siblings mask mirrors that aspect of the CUs and
threads, the scheduler pays attention to it and tries to schedule within
one CU first. Which takes care of the latency, of course.

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- Prevent double activation of interrupt lines, which causes problems
on certain interrupt controllers
- Handle the fallout of the above because x86 (ab)uses the activation
function to reconfigure interrupts under the hood.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
"The main change is we're reverting the initial stack protector support
we merged this cycle. It turns out to not work on toolchains built
with libc support, and fixing it will be need to wait for another
release.
And the rest are all fairly minor:
- Some pasemi machines were not booting due to a missing error check
in prom_find_boot_cpu()
- In EEH we were checking a pointer rather than the bool it pointed
to
- The clang build was broken by a BUILD_BUG_ON() we added.
- The radix (Power9 only) version of map_kernel_page() was broken if
our memory size was a multiple of 2MB, which it generally isn't
Thanks to: Darren Stevens, Gavin Shan, Reza Arbab"

Saving unsupported state prevents migration when the new host does not
support a XSAVE feature of the original host, even if the feature is not
exposed to the guest.
We've masked host features with guest-visible features before, with
4344ee981e21 ("KVM: x86: only copy XSAVE state for the supported
features") and dropped it when implementing XSAVES. Do it again.
Fixes: df1daba7d1cb ("KVM: x86: support XSAVES usage in the host")

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.
This has a couple of downsides:
- Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,
- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
core module code)
- Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
CRCs.
Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.
So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.
Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")
