Some functions defined in `arch/powerpc/kernel` (and one in `arch/powerpc/
kexec`) are deserving of an `__init` macro attribute. These functions are
only called by other initialization functions and therefore should inherit
the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.

If, due to bugs elsewhere, we get into unregister_cpu_online() with a CPU
that isn't marked hotpluggable, we can emit a warning and return an
appropriate error instead of crashing.

We have smp_ops-&gt;cpu_die() and ppc_md.cpu_die(). One of them offlines
the current CPU and one offlines another CPU, can you guess which is
which? Also one is in smp_ops and one is in ppc_md?

So rename ppc_md.cpu_die(), to cpu_offline_self(), because that's what
it does. And move it into smp_ops where it belongs.

It's not done anything for a long time. Save the percpu variable, and
emit a warning to remind users to not expect it to do anything.

This uses pr_warn_once instead of pr_warn_ratelimit as testing
'ppc64_cpu --smt=off' on a 24 core / 4 SMT system showed the warning
to be noisy, as the online/offline loop is slow.

<title>powerpc/perf: Add support for ISA3.1 PMU SPRs</title>

PowerISA v3.1 includes new performance monitoring unit(PMU)
special purpose registers (SPRs). They are

Monitor Mode Control Register 3 (MMCR3)
Sampled Instruction Event Register 2 (SIER2)
Sampled Instruction Event Register 3 (SIER3)

MMCR3 is added for further sampling related configuration
control. SIER2/SIER3 are added to provide additional
information about the sampled instruction.

Patch adds new PPMU flag called "PPMU_ARCH_31" to support handling of
these new SPRs, updates the struct thread_struct to include these new
SPRs, include MMCR3 in struct mmcr_regs. This is needed to support
programming of MMCR3 SPR during event_enable/disable. Patch also adds
the sysfs support for the MMCR3 SPR along with SPRN_ macros for these
new pmu SPRs.

On Pseries LPARs, to calculate utilization, we need to know the
[S]PURR ticks when the CPUs were busy or idle.

The total PURR and SPURR ticks are already exposed via the per-cpu
sysfs files "purr" and "spurr". This patch adds support for exposing
the idle PURR and SPURR ticks via new per-cpu sysfs files named
"idle_purr" and "idle_spurr".

This patch also adds helper functions to accurately read the values of
idle_purr and idle_spurr especially from an interrupt context between
when the interrupt has occurred between the pseries_idle_prolog() and
pseries_idle_epilog(). This will ensure that the idle purr/spurr
values corresponding to the latest idle period is accounted for before
these values are read.

<title>powerpc/kernel/sysfs: Add new config option PMU_SYSFS to enable PMU SPRs sysfs file creation</title>

Many of the performance monitoring unit (PMU) SPRs are
exposed in the sysfs. This may not be a desirable since
"perf" API is the primary interface to program PMU and
collect counter data in the system. But that said, we
cant remove these sysfs files since we dont whether
anyone/anything is using them.

So the patch adds a new CONFIG option 'CONFIG_PMU_SYSFS'
(user selectable) to be used in sysfs file creation for
PMU SPRs. New option by default is disabled, but can be
enabled if user needs it.

Tested this patch behaviour in powernv and pseries machines.
Patch is also tested for pmac32_defconfig.
