Subject: [PATCH 3.13 030/187] sparc64: Guard against flushing openfirmware mappings.

3.13.11.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>

[ Upstream commit 4ca9a23765da3260058db3431faf5b4efd8cf926 ]

Based almost entirely upon a patch by Christopher Alexander Tobias
Schulze.

In commit db64fe02258f1507e13fe5212a989922323685ce ("mm: rewrite vmap
layer") lazy VMAP tlb flushing was added to the vmalloc layer.  This
causes problems on sparc64.

Sparc64 has two VMAP mapped regions and they are not contiguous with
eachother.  First we have the malloc mapping area, then another
unrelated region, then the vmalloc region.

This "another unrelated region" is where the firmware is mapped.

If the lazy TLB flushing logic in the vmalloc code triggers after
we've had both a module unload and a vfree or similar, it will pass an
address range that goes from somewhere inside the malloc region to
somewhere inside the vmalloc region, and thus covering the
openfirmware area entirely.

The sparc64 kernel learns about openfirmware's dynamic mappings in
this region early in the boot, and then services TLB misses in this
area.  But openfirmware has some locked TLB entries which are not
mentioned in those dynamic mappings and we should thus not disturb
them.

These huge lazy TLB flush ranges causes those openfirmware locked TLB
entries to be removed, resulting in all kinds of problems including
hard hangs and crashes during reboot/reset.

Besides causing problems like this, such huge TLB flush ranges are
also incredibly inefficient.  A plea has been made with the author of
the VMAP lazy TLB flushing code, but for now we'll put a safety guard
into our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation.

Since the implementation has become non-trivial, stop defining it as a
macro and instead make it a function in a C source file.
