[ Upstream commit 35561bab768977c9e05f1f1a9bc00134c85f3e28 ]

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

<title>powerpc/vdso: Fix VDSO data access when running in a non-root time namespace</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3c9f0c9d59689495af0bdae2f9d96cfc0ecd0d7d</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit c73049389e58c01e2e3bbfae900c8daeee177191 ]

When running in a non-root time namespace, the global VDSO data page
is replaced by a dedicated namespace data page and the global data
page is mapped next to it. Detailed explanations can be found at
commit 660fd04f9317 ("lib/vdso: Prepare for time namespace support").

When it happens, __kernel_get_syscall_map and __kernel_get_tbfreq
and __kernel_sync_dicache don't work anymore because they read 0
instead of the data they need.

To address that, clock_mode has to be read. When it is set to
VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS, it means it is a dedicated namespace data page
and the global data is located on the following page.

Add a macro called get_realdatapage which reads clock_mode and add
PAGE_SIZE to the pointer provided by get_datapage macro when
clock_mode is equal to VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS. Use this new macro
instead of get_datapage macro except for time functions as they handle
it internally.

CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E is redundant with CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E_64.

The later is more explicit about the fact that it's a 64 bits target.

Remove CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E.

Turn the existing Kconfig KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING into
KVM_BOOK3S_HV_P8_TIMING in preparation for the addition of a new
config for P9 timings.

This applies only to P8 code, the generic timing code is still kept
under KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

PPC64 needs some special logic to properly set up the TOC.
See commit 85baa095497f ("powerpc/livepatch: Add live patching support
on ppc64le") for details.

PPC32 doesn't have TOC so it doesn't need that logic, so adding
LIVEPATCH support is straight forward.

Add CONFIG_LIVEPATCH_64 and move livepatch stack logic into that item.

Livepatch sample modules all work.

We have many functionnalities common to 40x and BOOKE, it leads to
many places with #if defined(CONFIG_BOOKE) || defined(CONFIG_40x).

We are going to add a few more with KUAP for booke/40x, so create
a new symbol which is defined when either BOOKE or 40x is defined.

<title>powerpc/32s: Save content of sr0 to avoid 'mfsr'</title>

<content type='text'>
Calling 'mfsr' to get the content of segment registers is heavy,
in addition it requires clearing of the 'reserved' bits.

In order to avoid this operation, save it in mm context and in
thread struct.

The saved sr0 is the one used by kernel, this means that on
locking entry it can be used as is.

For unlocking, the only thing to do is to clear SR_NX.

This improves null_syscall selftest by 12 cycles, ie 4%.

Instead of relying on awful hacks to obtain the offset of the cpu field
in struct task_struct, move it back into struct thread_info, which does
not create the same level of circular dependency hell when trying to
include the header file that defines it.
