      parisc: Handle case where flush_cache_range is called with no context · 9ef0f88f
      John David Anglin authored
      
      
      Just when I had decided that flush_cache_range() was always called with
      a valid context, Helge reported two cases where the
      "BUG_ON(!vma->vm_mm->context);" was hit on the phantom buildd:

      This indicates that we need to handle the no context case in
      flush_cache_range() as we do in flush_cache_mm().
      
      In thinking about this, I realized that we don't need to flush the TLB
      when there is no context.  So, I added context checks to the large flush
      cases in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range().  The large flush case
      occurs frequently in flush_cache_mm() and the change should improve fork
      performance.
      
      The v2 version of this change removes the BUG_ON from flush_cache_page()
      by skipping the TLB flush when there is no context.  I also added code
      to flush the TLB in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range() when we
      have a context that's not current.  Now all three routines handle TLB
      flushes in a similar manner.

       "There's an important revert in this pull request that needs to go to
        stable as it causes a corruption on big endian machines.
      
        The other fix is for FIEMAP incorrectly reporting shared extents
        before a sync and one fix for a crash in raid56.
      
        So far we got only one report about the BE corruption, the stable
        kernels were out for like a week, so hopefully the scope of the damage
        is low"

      x86/microcode: Fix CPU synchronization routine · bb8c13d6
      Borislav Petkov authored
      
      
      Emanuel reported an issue with a hang during microcode update because my
      dumb idea to use one atomic synchronization variable for both rendezvous
      - before and after update - was simply bollocks:
      
        microcode: microcode_reload_late: late_cpus: 4
        microcode: __reload_late: cpu 2 entered
        microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 entered
        microcode: __reload_late: cpu 3 entered
        microcode: __reload_late: cpu 0 entered
        microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 left
        microcode: Timeout while waiting for CPUs rendezvous, remaining: 1
      
      CPU1 above would finish, leave and the others will still spin waiting for
      it to join.
      
      So do two synchronization atomics instead, which makes the code a lot more
      straightforward.
      
      Also, since the update is serialized and it also takes quite some time per
      microcode engine, increase the exit timeout by the number of CPUs on the
      system.
      
      That's ok because the moment all CPUs are done, that timeout will be cut
      short.
      
      Furthermore, panic when some of the CPUs timeout when returning from a
      microcode update: we can't allow a system with not all cores updated.
      
      Also, as an optimization, do not do the exit sync if microcode wasn't
      updated.

      Return UCODE_NEW from the scanning functions to denote that new microcode
      was found and only then attempt the expensive synchronization dance.
