Remove CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE
was used at places where CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP or CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE was
appropriate. Replace with appropriate #ifdefs to support CONFIG_KEXEC
and !CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP configuration option. Also, make CONFIG_FA_DUMP
dependent on CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP to avoid unmet dependencies for FA_DUMP
with !CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE configuration option.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

Most probe functions that do not use the 'compatible' string do
nothing else than checking whether the machine is compatible with
one of the strings in a NULL terminated table of strings.
Define that table of strings in ppc_md structure and check it directly
from probe_machine() instead of using ppc_md.probe() for that.
Keep checking in ppc_md.probe() only for more complex probing.
All .compatible could be replaced with a single element NULL
terminated list but that's not worth the churn. Can be do incrementaly
in follow-up patches.

Now move the relevant codes into separate files:
kernel/crash_reserve.c, include/linux/crash_reserve.h.
And add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling.
And also update the old ifdeffery of CONFIG_CRASH_CORE, including of
<linux/crash_core.h> and config item dependency on CRASH_CORE
accordingly.
And also do renaming as follows:
- arch/xxx/kernel/{crash_core.c => vmcore_info.c}
because they are only related to vmcoreinfo exporting on x86, arm64,
riscv.
And also Remove config item CRASH_CORE, and rely on CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE to
decide if build in crash_core.c.

At the time of LPAR dump, before kexec hands over control to kdump
kernel, DDWs (Dynamic DMA Windows) are scanned and added to the FDT.
For the SR-IOV case, default DMA window "ibm,dma-window" is removed from
the FDT and DDW added, for the device.
Now, kexec hands over control to the kdump kernel.
When the kdump kernel initializes, PCI busses are scanned and IOMMU
group/tables created, in pci_dma_bus_setup_pSeriesLP(). For the SR-IOV
case, there is no "ibm,dma-window". The original commit: b1fc44eaa9ba,
fixes the path where memory is pre-mapped (direct mapped) to the DDW.
When TCEs are direct mapped, there is no need to initialize IOMMU
tables.
iommu_table_setparms_lpar() only considers "ibm,dma-window" property
when initiallizing IOMMU table. In the scenario where TCEs are
dynamically allocated for SR-IOV, newly created IOMMU table is not
initialized. Later, when the device driver tries to enter TCEs for the
SR-IOV device, NULL pointer execption is thrown from iommu_area_alloc().
The fix is to initialize the IOMMU table with DDW property stored in the
FDT. There are 2 points to remember:
1. For the dedicated adapter, kdump kernel would encounter both
default and DDW in FDT. In this case, DDW property is used to
initialize the IOMMU table.
2. A DDW could be direct or dynamic mapped. kdump kernel would
initialize IOMMU table and mark the existing DDW as
"dynamic". This works fine since, at the time of table
initialization, iommu_table_clear() makes some space in the
DDW, for some predefined number of TCEs which are needed for
kdump to succeed.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().
Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove

...code block...
ifdef DEFINE_A <-- This is a duplicate.

endif
else
ifndef DEFINE_A <-- This is also duplicate.
...code block...
endif
endif
More details about the script and methods used to find these code
patterns are in cover letter of [1].
Few places in arch/powerpc where this pattern was seen:
paca.h:
Hunk1: Code is under check of CONFIG_PPC64 from line 13, hence the
second CONFIG_PPC64 at line 166 is a duplicate.
Hunk2: CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 was defined back to back. Merged the two
ifdefs.
asm-offsets.c:
Code is under check of CONFIG_PPC64 from line 176 hence second
CONFIG_PPC64 at line 249 is a duplicate.
powermac/feature.c:
#ifndef CONFIG_PPC64 is used at line 2066. And then in #else again
#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64 is used. Which is a duplicate since in #else means
CONFIG_PPC64 is defined.
xmon.c:
Code is under the check of CONFIG_SMP from line 521 hence the same
check of CONFIG_SMP at line 646 is a duplicate.
No functional change is intended here. It only aims to improve code
readability.

Commit a940904443e4 ("powerpc/iommu: Add iommu_ops to report capabilities
and allow blocking domains") broke DLPAR add of PCI devices.
The above added iommu_device structure to pci_controller. During
system boot, PCI devices are discovered and this newly added iommu_device
structure is initialized by a call to iommu_device_register().
During DLPAR add of a PCI device, a new pci_controller structure is
allocated but there are no calls made to iommu_device_register()
interface.
Fix is to register the iommu device during DLPAR add as well.

powerVM hypervisor updates the VPA fields with stolen time data.
It currently reports enqueue_dispatch_tb and ready_enqueue_tb for
this purpose. In linux these two fields are used to report the stolen time.
The VPA fields are updated at the TB frequency. On powerPC its mostly
set at 512Mhz. Hence this needs a conversion to ns when reporting it
back as rest of the kernel timings are in ns. This conversion is already
handled in tb_to_ns function. So use that function to report accurate
stolen time.
Observed this issue and used an Capped Shared Processor LPAR(SPLPAR) to
simplify the experiments. In all these cases, 100% VP Load is run using
stress-ng workload. Values of stolen time is in percentages as reported
by mpstat. With the patch values are close to expected.

Commit a940904443e4 ("powerpc/iommu: Add iommu_ops to report capabilities
and allow blocking domains") broke DLPAR add of PCI devices.
The above added iommu_device structure to pci_controller. During
system boot, PCI devices are discovered and this newly added iommu_device
structure is initialized by a call to iommu_device_register().
During DLPAR add of a PCI device, a new pci_controller structure is
allocated but there are no calls made to iommu_device_register()
interface.
Fix is to register the iommu device during DLPAR add as well.

commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive. This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous

To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

try_to_freeze();

The hypervisor returns migration failure if all VAS windows are not
closed. During pre-migration stage, vas_migration_handler() sets
migration_in_progress flag and closes all windows from the list.
The allocate VAS window routine checks the migration flag, setup
the window and then add it to the list. So there is possibility of
the migration handler missing the window that is still in the
process of setup.
t1: Allocate and open VAS t2: Migration event
window
lock vas_pseries_mutex
If migration_in_progress set
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
return
open window HCALL
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
Modify window HCALL lock vas_pseries_mutex
setup window migration_in_progress=true
Closes all windows from the list
// May miss windows that are
// not in the list
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
lock vas_pseries_mutex return
if nr_closed_windows == 0
// No DLPAR CPU or migration
add window to the list
// Window will be added to the
// list after the setup is completed
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
return
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
Close VAS window
// due to DLPAR CPU or migration
return -EBUSY
This patch resolves the issue with the following steps:
- Set the migration_in_progress flag without holding mutex.
- Introduce nr_open_wins_progress counter in VAS capabilities
struct
- This counter tracks the number of open windows are still in
progress
- The allocate setup window thread closes windows if the migration
is set and decrements nr_open_window_progress counter
- The migration handler waits for no in-progress open windows.
The code flow with the fix is as follows:
t1: Allocate and open VAS t2: Migration event
window
lock vas_pseries_mutex
If migration_in_progress set
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
return
open window HCALL
nr_open_wins_progress++
// Window opened, but not
// added to the list yet
unlock vas_pseries_mutex
Modify window HCALL migration_in_progress=true
setup window lock vas_pseries_mutex
Closes all windows from the list

lock vas_pseries_mutex sleep
if nr_closed_windows == 0 // Wait if any open window in
or migration is not started // progress. The open window
// No DLPAR CPU or migration // thread closes the window without
add window to the list // adding to the list and return if

Until now the papr_sysparm APIs have been kernel-internal. But user
space needs access to PAPR system parameters too. The only method
available to user space today to get or set system parameters is using
sys_rtas() and /dev/mem to pass RTAS-addressable buffers between user
space and firmware. This is incompatible with lockdown and should be
deprecated.
So provide an alternative ABI to user space in the form of a
/dev/papr-sysparm character device with just two ioctl commands (get
and set). The data payloads involved are small enough to fit in the
ioctl argument buffer, making the code relatively simple.
Exposing the system parameters through sysfs has been considered but
it would be too awkward:
* The kernel currently does not have to contain an exhaustive list of
defined system parameters. This is a convenient property to maintain
because we don't have to update the kernel whenever a new parameter
is added to PAPR. Exporting a named attribute in sysfs for each
parameter would negate this.
* Some system parameters are text-based and some are not.
* Retrieval of at least one system parameter requires input data,
which a simple read-oriented interface can't support.
