of_get_property() is used inside the loop, but then the reference to the
node is dropped before dereferencing the prop pointer, which could by then
point to junk if the node has been freed.
Instead use of_property_read_u32() to actually read the property
value before dropping the reference.
of_property_read_u32() requires at least one cell (u32) to be present,
which is stricter than the old logic which would happily dereference a
property of any size. However we believe all device trees in the wild
have at least one cell.
Skiboot may produce memory nodes with more than one cell, but that is
OK, of_property_read_u32() will return the first one.

The TUNE_CELL option allows you to build a kernel that runs on multiple
CPUs but is tuned (ie. optimised) to run on Cell CPUs. Now days no one
is building a distro in that fashion, and any users who are building
custom kernels for their Cell machines are better off building with
CONFIG_CELL_CPU, which builds a kernel that only runs on Cell and
therefore can be optimised even more aggresively.
Dropping the option also avoids confusing other users, who are presented
with an option to tune for Cell when they are not building for a Cell
CPU at all.

The pseries build with PCI=n looks to have been broken for at least 5
years, and no one's noticed or cared.
Following the obvious breakages backward, the first commit I can find
that builds is the parent of 2eb4afb69f ("powerpc/pci: Move pseries
code into pseries platform specific area") from April 2009.
A distro would never ship a PCI=n kernel, so it is only useful for folks
building custom kernels. Also on KVM the virtio devices appear on PCI,
so it would only be useful if you were building kernels specifically to
run on PowerVM and with no PCI devices.
The added code complexity, and testing load (which we've clearly not
been doing), is not justified by the small reduction in kernel size for
such a niche use case.
So just make PCI non-optional on pseries.

My recent commit d2036f30cf ("scripts/kconfig/Makefile: Allow
KBUILD_DEFCONFIG to be a target"), contained a bug in that when it
checks if KBUILD_DEFCONFIG is a file it forgets to prepend $(srctree) to
the path.
This causes the build to fail when building out of tree (with O=), and
when the value of KBUILD_DEFCONFIG is 'defconfig'. In that case we will
fail to find the 'defconfig' file, because we look in the build
directory not $(srctree), and so we will call Make again with
'defconfig' as the target. From there we loop infinitely calling 'make
defconfig' again and again.
The fix is simple, we need to look for the file under $(srctree).

We need to properly identify whether a hugepage is an explicit or
a transparent hugepage in follow_huge_addr(). We used to depend
on hugepage shift argument to do that. But in some case that can
result in wrong results. For ex:
On finding a transparent hugepage we set hugepage shift to PMD_SHIFT.
But we can end up clearing the thp pte, via pmdp_huge_get_and_clear.
We do prevent reusing the pfn page via the usage of
kick_all_cpus_sync(). But that happens after we updated the pte to 0.
Hence in follow_huge_addr() we can find hugepage shift set, but transparent
huge page check fail for a thp pte.
NOTE: We fixed a variant of this race against thp split in commit
691e95fd73
("powerpc/mm/thp: Make page table walk safe against thp split/collapse")
Without this patch, we may hit the BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET) in

Arch Makefiles can set KBUILD_DEFCONFIG to tell kbuild the name of the
defconfig that should be built by default.
However currently there is an assumption that KBUILD_DEFCONFIG points to
a file at arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG).
We would like to use a target, using merge_config, as our defconfig, so
adapt the logic in scripts/kconfig/Makefile to allow that.
To minimise the chance of breaking anything, we first check if
KBUILD_DEFCONFIG is a file, and if so we do the old logic. If it's not a
file, then we call the top-level Makefile with KBUILD_DEFCONFIG as the
target.

powerpc has a link register (lr) used for calling functions. We "bl
<func>" to call a function, and "blr" to return back to the call site.
The lr is only a single register, so if we call another function from
inside this function (ie. nested calls), software must save away the
lr on the software stack before calling the new function. Before
returning (ie. before the "blr"), the lr is restored by software from
the software stack.
This makes branch prediction quite difficult for the processor as it
will only know the branch target just before the "blr".
To help with this, modern powerpc processors keep a (non-architected)
hardware stack of lr called a "link stack". When a "bl <func>" is
run, the lr is pushed onto this stack. When a "blr" is called, the
branch predictor pops the lr value from the top of the link stack, and
uses it to predict the branch target. Hence the processor pipeline
knows a lot earlier the branch target.
This works great but there are some cases where you call "bl" but
without a matching "blr". Once such case is when trying to determine
the program counter (which can't be read directly). Here you "bl+4;
mflr" to get the program counter. If you do this, the link stack will
get out of sync with reality, causing the branch predictor to
mis-predict subsequent function returns.
To avoid this, modern micro-architectures have a special case of bl.
Using the form "bcl 20,31,+4", ensures the processor doesn't push to
the link stack.
The 32 and 64 bit variants of __get_datapage() use a "bl; mflr" to
determine the loaded address of the VDSO. The current versions of
these attempt to use this special bl variant.
Unfortunately they use +8 rather than the required +4. Hence the
current code results in the link stack getting out of sync with
reality and hence the resulting performance degradation.
This patch moves it to bcl+4 by moving __kernel_datapage_offset out of
__get_datapage().
With this patch, running a gettimeofday() (which uses
__get_datapage()) microbenchmark we get a decent bump in performance
on POWER7/8.
For the benchmark in tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/benchmarks/gettimeofday.c

This is unlikely to have any measurable effect on the time it takes
to resolve vdso symbols (since there are so few of them). In some
contexts, it can be a win for a different reason: if every DSO has a
GNU hash section, then libc can avoid calculating SysV hashes at
all. Both musl and glibc appear to have this optimization.
