The at24 driver allows to register I2C EEPROM chips using different vendor

when matching using the I2C table since it only has device entries.
But when matching using an OF table, both the vendor and device has to be
taken into account so the driver defines only a set of compatible strings

Around 95% of memory is reserved by fadump/capture kernel. All this
memory is freed, one page at a time, on writing '1' to the node
/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem. On systems with large memory, this
can take a long time to complete, leading to soft lockup warning
messages. To avoid this, add reschedule points at regular intervals.
Also, while memblock_reserve() implicitly takes care of holes in the
given memory range while reserving memory, those holes need to be
taken care of while releasing memory as memory is freed one page at
a time. Add support to skip holes while releasing memory.

To register fadump, boot memory area - the size of low memory chunk that

memory, is assumed to have no holes. But this memory area is currently
not protected from hot-remove operations. So, fadump could fail to
re-register after a memory hot-remove operation, if memory is removed
from boot memory area. To avoid this, ensure that memory from boot
memory area is not hot-removed when fadump is registered.

fadump sets up crash memory ranges to be used for creating PT_LOAD
program headers in elfcore header. Memory chunk RMA_START through
boot memory area size is added as the first memory range because
firmware, at the time of crash, moves this memory chunk to different
location specified during fadump registration making it necessary to
create a separate program header for it with the correct offset.
This memory chunk is skipped while setting up the remaining memory
ranges. But currently, there is possibility that some of this memory
may have duplicate entries like when it is hot-removed and added
again. Ensure that no two memory ranges represent the same memory.

On PHB3/POWER8 systems, devices can select between two different sections
of address space, TVE#0 and TVE#1. TVE#0 is intended for 32bit devices
that aren't capable of addressing more than 4GB. Selecting TVE#1 instead,
with the capability of addressing over 4GB, is performed by setting bit 59
of a PCI address.
However, some devices aren't capable of addressing at least 59 bits, but
still want more than 4GB of DMA space. In order to enable this, reconfigure
TVE#0 to be suitable for 64-bit devices by allocating memory past the
initial 4GB that is inaccessible by 64-bit DMAs.
This bypass mode is only enabled if a device requests 4GB or more of DMA
address space, if the system has PHB3 (POWER8 systems), and if the device
does not share a PE with any devices from different vendors.

Bits Configuration
0 : Scale out 12 cores
1 : Scale out 24 cores
2 : Scale up 12 cores
3 : Scale up 24 cores
DD1 doesn't use this but DD2 does. Linux will mostly use the "Scale
out 24 core" configuration (ie. SMT4 not SMT8) which results in a PVR
of 0x004e1200. The reported revision in /proc/cpuinfo is hence

This converts the powerpc VDSO time update function to use the new
interface introduced in commit 576094b7f0 ("time: Introduce new
GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL", 2012-09-11). Where the old interface gave
us the time as of the last update in seconds and whole nanoseconds,
with the new interface we get the nanoseconds part effectively in
a binary fixed-point format with tk->tkr_mono.shift bits to the
right of the binary point.
With the old interface, the fractional nanoseconds got truncated,
meaning that the value returned by the VDSO clock_gettime function
would have about 1ns of jitter in it compared to the value computed
by the generic timekeeping code in the kernel.
The powerpc VDSO time functions (clock_gettime and gettimeofday)
already work in units of 2^-32 seconds, or 0.23283 ns, because that
makes it simple to split the result into seconds and fractional
seconds, and represent the fractional seconds in either microseconds
or nanoseconds. This is good enough accuracy for now, so this patch
avoids changing how the VDSO works or the interface in the VDSO data
page.
This patch converts the powerpc update_vsyscall_old to be called
update_vsyscall and use the new interface. We convert the fractional
second to units of 2^-32 seconds without truncating to whole nanoseconds.
(There is still a conversion to whole nanoseconds for any legacy users
of the vdso_data/systemcfg stamp_xtime field.)
In addition, this improves the accuracy of the computation of tb_to_xs
for those systems with high-frequency timebase clocks (>= 268.5 MHz)
by doing the right shift in two parts, one before the multiplication and
one after, rather than doing the right shift before the multiplication.
(We can't do all of the right shift after the multiplication unless we
use 128-bit arithmetic.)

When the CPU wakes from low power state, it begins at the system reset

Change this to replay the interrupt from the idle wakeup before

The ISA v3.0B copy-paste facility only requires cpabort when switching
to a process that has foreign real addresses mapped (direct access to
accelerators), to clear a potential copy buffer filled by a previous
thread. There is no accelerator driver implemented yet, so cpabort can
be removed. It can be be re-added when a driver is implemented.
POWER9 DD1 requires the copy buffer to always be cleared on context
switch, but if accelerators are not in use, then an unpaired copy from
a dummy region is sufficient to clear data out of the copy buffer.

The sync (aka. hwsync, aka. heavyweight sync) in the context switch
code to prevent MMIO access being reordered from the point of view of
a single process if it gets migrated to a different CPU is not
required because there is an hwsync performed earlier in the context
switch path.
Comment this so it's clear enough if anything changes on the scheduler
or the powerpc sides. Remove the hwsync from _switch.
This improves context switch performance by 2-3% on POWER8.

There is no need to explicitly break the reservation in _switch,
because we are guaranteed that the context switch path will include a
larx/stcx.
Comment the guarantee and remove the reservation clear from _switch.
This is worth 1-2% in context switch performance.

Commit 4387e9ff25 ("[POWERPC] Fix PMU + soft interrupt disable bug")
hard disabled interrupts over the low level context switch, because
the SLB management can't cope with a PMU interrupt accesing the stack
in that window.
Radix based kernel mapping does not use the SLB so it does not require
interrupts hard disabled here.
This is worth 1-2% in context switch performance on POWER9.
