Pull bitmap updates from Yury Norov:

 - Fix unsigned comparison to -1 in CPUMAP_FILE_MAX_BYTES (Phil Auld)

 - cleanup nr_cpu_ids vs nr_cpumask_bits mess (me)

   This series cleans that mess and adds new config FORCE_NR_CPUS that
   allows to optimize cpumask subsystem if the number of CPUs is known
   at compile-time.

 - optimize find_bit() functions (me)

   Reworks find_bit() functions based on new FIND_{FIRST,NEXT}_BIT()
   macros.

 - add find_nth_bit() (me)

   Adds find_nth_bit(), which is ~70 times faster than bitcounting with
   for_each() loop:

	for_each_set_bit(bit, mask, size)
		if (n-- == 0)
			return bit;

   Also adds bitmap_weight_and() to let people replace this pattern:

	tmp = bitmap_alloc(nbits);
	bitmap_and(tmp, map1, map2, nbits);
	weight = bitmap_weight(tmp, nbits);
	bitmap_free(tmp);

   with a single bitmap_weight_and() call.

 - repair cpumask_check() (me)

   After switching cpumask to use nr_cpu_ids, cpumask_check() started
   generating many false-positive warnings. This series fixes it.

 - Add for_each_cpu_andnot() and for_each_cpu_andnot() (Valentin
   Schneider)

   Extends the API with one more function and applies it in sched/core.

<title>powerpc/64s/interrupt: halt early boot interrupts if paca is not set up</title>

<content type='text'>
Ensure r13 is zero from very early in boot until it gets set to the
boot paca pointer. This allows early program and mce handlers to halt
if there is no valid paca, rather than potentially run off into the
weeds. This preserves register and memory contents for low level
debugging tools.

Nothing could be printed to console at this point in any case because
even udbg is only set up after the boot paca is set, so this shouldn't
be missed.

A later change stops the kernel using r2 and loads it with a poison
value.  Provide a PACATOC loading abstraction which can hide this
detail.

<title>powerpc/64: use 32-bit immediate for STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER</title>

<id>urn:sha1:17773afdcd1589c5925a984f512330410cb2ba4f</id>
<content type='text'>
Using a 32-bit constant for this marker allows it to be loaded with
two ALU instructions, like 32-bit. This avoids a TOC entry and a
TOC load that depends on the r2 value that has just been loaded from
the PACA.

This changes the value for 32-bit as well, so both have the same
value in the low 4 bytes and 64-bit has 0 in the top bytes.

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.

<title>powerpc/64: don't refer nr_cpu_ids in asm code when it's undefined</title>

<content type='text'>
generic_secondary_common_init() calls LOAD_REG_ADDR(r7, nr_cpu_ids)
conditionally on CONFIG_SMP. However, if 'NR_CPUS == 1', kernel doesn't
use the nr_cpu_ids, and in C code, it's just:
  #if NR_CPUS == 1
  #define nr_cpu_ids
  ...

This series makes declaration of nr_cpu_ids conditional on NR_CPUS == 1,
and that reveals the issue, because compiler can't link the
LOAD_REG_ADDR(r7, nr_cpu_ids) against nonexisting symbol.

Current code looks unsafe for those who build kernel with CONFIG_SMP=y and
NR_CPUS == 1. This is weird configuration, but not disallowed.

Fix the linker error by replacing LOAD_REG_ADDR() with LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE()
conditionally on NR_CPUS == 1.

As the following patch adds CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS option that has the
similar effect on nr_cpu_ids, make the generic_secondary_common_init()
conditional on it too.

<title>powerpc/64e: KASAN Full support for BOOK3E/64</title>
<updated>2022-06-29T07:04:15Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=c7b9ed7c34a9f5dbf8222d63e3e313cef9f3150b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c7b9ed7c34a9f5dbf8222d63e3e313cef9f3150b</id>
<content type='text'>
We now have memory organised in a way that allows
implementing KASAN.

Unlike book3s/64, book3e always has translation active so the only
thing needed to use KASAN is to setup an early zero shadow mapping
just after setting a stack pointer and before calling early_setup().

The memory layout is now as follows

   +------------------------+  Kernel virtual map end (0xc000200000000000)
   |                        |
   |    16TB of KASAN map   |
   |                        |
   +------------------------+  Kernel KASAN shadow map start
   |                        |
   |    16TB of IO map      |
   |                        |
   +------------------------+  Kernel IO map start
   |                        |
   |    16TB of vmemmap     |
   |                        |
   +------------------------+  Kernel vmemmap start
   |                        |
   |    16TB of vmap        |
   |                        |
   +------------------------+  Kernel virt start (0xc000100000000000)
   |                        |
   |    64TB of linear mem  |
   |                        |

<title>powerpc/64/asm: Do not reassign labels</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=d72c4a36d7ab560127885473a310ece28988b604'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d72c4a36d7ab560127885473a310ece28988b604</id>
<content type='text'>
The LLVM integrated assembler really does not like us reassigning things
to the same label:

&lt;instantiation&gt;:7:9: error: invalid reassignment of non-absolute variable 'fs_label'

This happens across a bunch of platforms:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1043
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1008
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/920
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1050

There is no hope of getting this fixed in LLVM (see
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1043#issuecomment-641571200
and https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47798#c1 )
so if we want to build with LLVM_IAS, we need to hack
around it ourselves.

For us the big problem comes from this:

\#define USE_FIXED_SECTION(sname)				\
	fs_label = start_##sname;				\
	fs_start = sname##_start;				\
	use_ftsec sname;

\#define USE_TEXT_SECTION()
	fs_label = start_text;					\
	fs_start = text_start;					\
	.text

and in particular fs_label.

This works around it by not setting those 'variables' and requiring
that users of the variables instead track for themselves what section
they are in. This isn't amazing, by any stretch, but it gets us further
in the compilation.

Note that even though users have to keep track of the section, using
a wrong one produces an error with both binutils and llvm which prevents
from using wrong section at the compile time:

llvm error example:

AS      arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o
&lt;unknown&gt;:0: error: Cannot represent a difference across sections
make[3]: *** [/home/aik/p/kernels-llvm/llvm/scripts/Makefile.build:388: arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o] Error 1

binutils error example:

/home/aik/p/kernels-llvm/llvm/arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S: Assembler messages:
