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.

Otherwise, the following warning is encountered:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3dc6): Section mismatch in reference from the variable start_here_multiplatform to the function .init.text:.early_setup()
The function start_here_multiplatform() references
the function __init .early_setup().
This is often because start_here_multiplatform lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of .early_setup is wrong.

<content type='text'>
With STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled anything marked __init is placed at a 16M
boundary.  This is necessary so that it can be repurposed later with
different permissions.  However, in kernels with text larger than 16M,
this pushes early_setup past 32M, incapable of being reached by the
branch instruction.

Fix this by setting the CTR and branching there instead.

<title>powerpc/64: Simplify __secondary_start paca-&gt;kstack handling</title>
<updated>2019-02-23T11:31:39Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Michael Ellerman</name>

<published>2019-02-22T12:58:21Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=eafd825ed7106ac1ca84d20d8b3b86826f164df9'/>
<id>urn:sha1:eafd825ed7106ac1ca84d20d8b3b86826f164df9</id>
<content type='text'>
In __secondary_start() we load the thread_info of the idle task of the
secondary CPU from current_set[cpu], and then convert it into a stack
pointer before storing that back to paca-&gt;kstack.

As pointed out in commit f761622e5943 ("powerpc: Initialise
paca-&gt;kstack before early_setup_secondary") it's important that we
initialise paca-&gt;kstack before calling the MMU setup code, in
particular slb_initialize(), because it will bolt the SLB entry for
the kstack into the SLB.

However we have already setup paca-&gt;kstack in cpu_idle_thread_init(),
since commit 3b5750644b2f ("[POWERPC] Bolt in SLB entry for kernel
stack on secondary cpus") (May 2008).

It's also in cpu_idle_thread_init() that we initialise current_set[cpu]
with the thread_info pointer, so there is no issue of the timing being
different between the two.

Therefore the initialisation of paca-&gt;kstack in __setup_secondary() is
completely redundant, so remove it.

This has the added benefit of removing code that runs in real mode,
and is therefore restricted by the RMO, and so opens the way for us to
enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK.

<title>powerpc/64: Use array of paca pointers and allocate pacas individually</title>

<content type='text'>
Change the paca array into an array of pointers to pacas. Allocate
pacas individually.

This allows flexibility in where the PACAs are allocated. Future work
will allocate them node-local. Platforms that don't have address limits
on PACAs would be able to defer PACA allocations until later in boot
rather than allocate all possible ones up-front then freeing unused.

This is slightly more overhead (one additional indirection) for cross
CPU paca references, but those aren't too common.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Avoid waiting for secondary hold spinloop with OPAL</title>

<id>urn:sha1:339a3293f4e493a6c40f71e4faab0c8389174313</id>
<content type='text'>
OPAL boot does not insert secondaries at 0x60 to wait at the secondary
hold spinloop. Instead they are started later, and inserted at
generic_secondary_smp_init(), which is after the secondary hold
spinloop.

Avoid waiting on this spinloop when booting with OPAL firmware. This
wait always times out that case.

This saves 100ms boot time on powernv, and 10s of seconds of real time
when booting on the simulator in SMP.
