This fixes a couple more bits of fallout from the new hard lockup watchdog
patch.

It restores the required hw_nmi_get_sample_period() function for the
perf watchdog, and removes some function declarations on 64e that are only
defined for 64s. This fixes the 64e build when the hardlockup detector is
enabled.

It restores the default behaviour of disabling the perf watchdog, and also
fixes disabling the 64s watchdog when running as a guest.

Implement an arch-speicfic watchdog rather than use the perf-based
hardlockup detector.

The new watchdog takes the soft-NMI directly, rather than going through
perf.  Perf interrupts are to be made maskable in future, so that would
prevent the perf detector from working in those regions.

Additionally, implement a SMP based detector where all CPUs watch one
another by pinging a shared cpumask.  This is because powerpc Book3S
does not have a true periodic local NMI, but some platforms do implement
a true NMI IPI.

If a CPU is stuck with interrupts hard disabled, the soft-NMI watchdog
does not work, but the SMP watchdog will.  Even on platforms without a
true NMI IPI to get a good trace from the stuck CPU, other CPUs will
notice the lockup sufficiently to report it and panic.

<title>kernel/watchdog: split up config options</title>

Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split
HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.

LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming
interfaces for the lockup detectors.

An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the
minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and
does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces.

sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the
interfaces, but not fully yet.  It should probably be converted to a full
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

<title>powerpc/64: Initialise thread_info for emergency stacks</title>

Emergency stacks have their thread_info mostly uninitialised, which in
particular means garbage preempt_count values.

Emergency stack code runs with interrupts disabled entirely, and is
used very rarely, so this has been unnoticed so far. It was found by a
proposed new powerpc watchdog that takes a soft-NMI directly from the
masked_interrupt handler and using the emergency stack. That crashed
at BUG_ON(in_nmi()) in nmi_enter(). preempt_count()s were found to be
garbage.

To fix this, zero the entire THREAD_SIZE allocation, and initialize
the thread_info.

<title>powerpc/numa: Fix percpu allocations to be NUMA aware</title>

<id>ba4a648f12f4cd0a8003dd229b6ca8a53348ee4b</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 8c272261194d ("powerpc/numa: Enable USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID"), we
switched to the generic implementation of cpu_to_node(), which uses a percpu
variable to hold the NUMA node for each CPU.

Unfortunately we neglected to notice that we use cpu_to_node() in the allocation
of our percpu areas, leading to a chicken and egg problem. In practice what
happens is when we are setting up the percpu areas, cpu_to_node() reports that
all CPUs are on node 0, so we allocate all percpu areas on node 0.

This is visible in the dmesg output, as all pcpu allocs being in group 0:

  pcpu-alloc: [0] 00 01 02 03 [0] 04 05 06 07
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 08 09 10 11 [0] 12 13 14 15
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 16 17 18 19 [0] 20 21 22 23
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 24 25 26 27 [0] 28 29 30 31
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 32 33 34 35 [0] 36 37 38 39
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 40 41 42 43 [0] 44 45 46 47

To fix it we need an early_cpu_to_node() which can run prior to percpu being
setup. We already have the numa_cpu_lookup_table we can use, so just plumb it
in. With the patch dmesg output shows two groups, 0 and 1:

  pcpu-alloc: [0] 00 01 02 03 [0] 04 05 06 07
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 08 09 10 11 [0] 12 13 14 15
  pcpu-alloc: [0] 16 17 18 19 [0] 20 21 22 23
  pcpu-alloc: [1] 24 25 26 27 [1] 28 29 30 31
  pcpu-alloc: [1] 32 33 34 35 [1] 36 37 38 39
  pcpu-alloc: [1] 40 41 42 43 [1] 44 45 46 47

We can also check the data_offset in the paca of various CPUs, with the fix we
see:

  CPU 0:  data_offset = 0x0ffe8b0000
  CPU 24: data_offset = 0x1ffe5b0000

And we can see from dmesg that CPU 24 has an allocation on node 1:

  node   0: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000fffffffff]
  node   1: [mem 0x0000001000000000-0x0000001fffffffff]

Pull more powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "The change to the Linux page table geometry was delayed for more
  testing with 16G pages, and there's the new CPU features stuff which
  just needed one more polish before going in. Plus a few changes from
  Scott which came in a bit late. And then various fixes, mostly minor.

  Summary highlights:

   - rework the Linux page table geometry to lower memory usage on
     64-bit Book3S (IBM chips) using the Hash MMU.

   - support for a new device tree binding for discovering CPU features
     on future firmwares.

   - Freescale updates from Scott:
      "Includes a fix for a powerpc/next mm regression on 64e, a fix for
       a kernel hang on 64e when using a debugger inside a relocated
       kernel, a qman fix, and misc qe improvements."

  Thanks to: Christophe Leroy, Gavin Shan, Horia Geantă, LiuHailong,
  Nicholas Piggin, Roy Pledge, Scott Wood, Valentin Longchamp"

Pull more powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "The change to the Linux page table geometry was delayed for more
  testing with 16G pages, and there's the new CPU features stuff which
  just needed one more polish before going in. Plus a few changes from
  Scott which came in a bit late. And then various fixes, mostly minor.

  Summary highlights:

   - rework the Linux page table geometry to lower memory usage on
     64-bit Book3S (IBM chips) using the Hash MMU.

   - support for a new device tree binding for discovering CPU features
     on future firmwares.

   - Freescale updates from Scott:
      "Includes a fix for a powerpc/next mm regression on 64e, a fix for
       a kernel hang on 64e when using a debugger inside a relocated
       kernel, a qman fix, and misc qe improvements."

  Thanks to: Christophe Leroy, Gavin Shan, Horia Geantă, LiuHailong,
  Nicholas Piggin, Roy Pledge, Scott Wood, Valentin Longchamp"

The ibm,powerpc-cpu-features device tree binding describes CPU features with
ASCII names and extensible compatibility, privilege, and enablement metadata
that allows improved flexibility and compatibility with new hardware.

The interface is described in detail in ibm,powerpc-cpu-features.txt in this
patch.

Currently this code is not enabled by default, and there are no released
firmwares that provide the binding.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights include:

   - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we
     use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access
     to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap().

   - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.

   - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.

   - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
     Interface Architecture 2.0".

   - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
     runtime.

   - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
     support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.

   - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
     correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
     using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
     aid debugging and robustness.

   - Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

<title>powerpc/64s: Dedicated system reset interrupt stack</title>

The system reset interrupt is used for crash/debug situations, so it is
desirable to have as little impact on the normal state of the system as
possible.

Currently it uses the current kernel stack to process the exception.
This stores into the stack which may be involved with the crash. The
stack pointer may be corrupted, or it may have overflowed.

Avoid or minimise these problems by creating a dedicated NMI stack for
the system reset interrupt to use.
