Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

<title>powerpc/64s/exception: remove bad stack branch</title>

<content type='text'>
The bad stack test in interrupt handlers has a few problems. For
performance it is taken in the common case, which is a fetch bubble
and a waste of i-cache.

For code development and maintainence, it requires yet another stack
frame setup routine, and that constrains all exception handlers to
follow the same register save pattern which inhibits future
optimisation.

Remove the test/branch and replace it with a trap. Teach the program
check handler to use the emergency stack for this case.

This does not result in quite so nice a message, however the SRR0 and
SRR1 of the crashed interrupt can be seen in r11 and r12, as is the
original r1 (adjusted by INT_FRAME_SIZE). These are the most important
parts to debugging the issue.

The original r9-12 and cr0 is lost, which is the main downside.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Slightly delayed due to the issue with printk() calling
  probe_kernel_read() interacting with our new user access prevention
  stuff, but all fixed now.

  The only out-of-area changes are the addition of a cpuhp_state, small
  additions to Documentation and MAINTAINERS updates.

  Highlights:

   - Support for Kernel Userspace Access/Execution Prevention (like
     SMAP/SMEP/PAN/PXN) on some 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs. This prevents
     the kernel from accidentally accessing userspace outside
     copy_to/from_user(), or ever executing userspace.

   - KASAN support on 32-bit.

   - Rework of where we map the kernel, vmalloc, etc. on 64-bit hash to
     use the same address ranges we use with the Radix MMU.

   - A rewrite into C of large parts of our idle handling code for
     64-bit Book3S (ie. power8 &amp; power9).

   - A fast path entry for syscalls on 32-bit CPUs, for a 12-17% speedup
     in the null_syscall benchmark.

   - On 64-bit bare metal we have support for recovering from errors
     with the time base (our clocksource), however if that fails
     currently we hang in __delay() and never crash. We now have support
     for detecting that case and short circuiting __delay() so we at
     least panic() and reboot.

   - Add support for optionally enabling the DAWR on Power9, which had
     to be disabled by default due to a hardware erratum. This has the
     effect of enabling hardware breakpoints for GDB, the downside is a
     badly behaved program could crash the machine by pointing the DAWR
     at cache inhibited memory. This is opt-in obviously.

   - xmon, our crash handler, gets support for a read only mode where
     operations that could change memory or otherwise disturb the system
     are disabled.

  Plus many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

<title>powerpc/64s: Reimplement book3s idle code in C</title>

<id>urn:sha1:10d91611f426d4bafd2a83d966c36da811b2f7ad</id>
<content type='text'>
Reimplement Book3S idle code in C, moving POWER7/8/9 implementation
speific HV idle code to the powernv platform code.

Book3S assembly stubs are kept in common code and used only to save
the stack frame and non-volatile GPRs before executing architected
idle instructions, and restoring the stack and reloading GPRs then
returning to C after waking from idle.

The complex logic dealing with threads and subcores, locking, SPRs,
HMIs, timebase resync, etc., is all done in C which makes it more
maintainable.

This is not a strict translation to C code, there are some
significant differences:

- Idle wakeup no longer uses the -&gt;cpu_restore call to reinit SPRs,
  but saves and restores them itself.

- The optimisation where EC=ESL=0 idle modes did not have to save GPRs
  or change MSR is restored, because it's now simple to do. ESL=1
  sleeps that do not lose GPRs can use this optimization too.

- KVM secondary entry and cede is now more of a call/return style
  rather than branchy. nap_state_lost is not required because KVM
  always returns via NVGPR restoring path.

- KVM secondary wakeup from offline sequence is moved entirely into
  the offline wakeup, which avoids a hwsync in the normal idle wakeup
  path.

Performance measured with context switch ping-pong on different
threads or cores, is possibly improved a small amount, 1-3% depending
on stop state and core vs thread test for shallow states. Deep states
it's in the noise compared with other latencies.

KVM improvements:

- Idle sleepers now always return to caller rather than branch out
  to KVM first.

- This allows optimisations like very fast return to caller when no
  state has been lost.

- KVM no longer requires nap_state_lost because it controls NVGPR
  save/restore itself on the way in and out.

- The heavy idle wakeup KVM request check can be moved out of the
  normal host idle code and into the not-performance-critical offline
  code.

- KVM nap code now returns from where it is called, which makes the
  flow a bit easier to follow.

In a bid to kill off explicit mmiowb() usage in driver code, hook up
the asm-generic mmiowb() tracking code but provide a definition of
arch_mmiowb_state() so that the tracking data can remain in the paca
as it does at present

This replaces the existing (flawed) implementation.

This adds CONFIG_DEBUG_VM checks to ensure:
  - The kernel stack is in the SLB after it's flushed and bolted.
  - We don't insert an SLB for an address that is aleady in the SLB.
  - The kernel SLB miss handler does not take an SLB miss.

used to allocate free SLB entries first, before resorting to the round

On PPC64, as register r13 points to the paca_struct at all time,
this patch adds a copy of the canary there, which is copied at
task_switch.
That new canary is then used by using the following GCC options:
-mstack-protector-guard=tls
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=r13
-mstack-protector-guard-offset=offsetof(struct paca_struct, canary))
