      powerpc/64s: Revert setting of LPCR[LPES] on POWER9 · 8bf8f2e8
      Nicholas Piggin authored
      
      
      The XIVE enablement patches included a change to set the LPES (Logical
      Partitioning Environment Selector) bit (bit # 3) in LPCR (Logical Partitioning
      Control Register) on POWER9 hosts. This bit sets external interrupts to guest
      delivery mode, which uses SRR0/1. The host's EE interrupt handler is written to
      expect HSRR0/1 (for earlier CPUs). This should be fine because XIVE is
      configured not to deliver EEs to the host (Hypervisor Virtulization Interrupt is
      used instead) so the EE handler should never be executed.
      
      However a bug in interrupt controller code, hardware, or odd configuration of a
      simulator could result in the host getting an EE incorrectly. Keeping the EE
      delivery mode matching the host EE handler prevents strange crashes due to using
      the wrong exception registers.
      
      KVM will configure the LPCR to set LPES prior to running a guest so that EEs are
      delivered to the guest using SRR0/1.

      powerpc/smp: Remove migrate_irq() custom implementation · a978e139
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      
      
      Some powerpc platforms use this to move IRQs away from a CPU being
      unplugged. This function has several bugs such as not taking the right
      locks or failing to NULL check pointers.
      
      There's a new generic function doing exactly the same thing without all
      the bugs, so let's use it instead.
      
      mpe: The obvious place for the select of GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION is on
      HOTPLUG_CPU, but that doesn't work. On some configs PM_SLEEP_SMP will
      select HOTPLUG_CPU even though its dependencies are not met, which means
      the select of GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION doesn't happen. That leads to the
      build breaking. Fix it by moving the select of GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION to
      SMP.

      mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to uninitialized swap slot cache · 452b94b8
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      
      This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
      reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
      cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
      actually problematic afaik.
      
      I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
      I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
      the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
      it but not bring the machine down.

      Pull device-dax fixes from Dan Williams:
       "The device-dax driver was not being careful to handle falling back to
        smaller fault-granularity sizes.
      
        The driver already fails fault attempts that are smaller than the
        device's alignment, but it also needs to handle the cases where a
        larger page mapping could be established. For simplicity of the
        immediate fix the implementation just signals VM_FAULT_FALLBACK until
        fault-size == device-alignment.
      
        One fix is for -stable to address pmd-to-pte fallback from the
        original implementation, another fix is for the new (introduced in
        4.11-rc1) pud-to-pmd regression, and a typo fix comes along for the
