Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Slightly delayed due to the issue with printk() calling
  probe_kernel_read() interacting with our new user access prevention
  stuff, but all fixed now.

  The only out-of-area changes are the addition of a cpuhp_state, small
  additions to Documentation and MAINTAINERS updates.

  Highlights:

   - Support for Kernel Userspace Access/Execution Prevention (like
     SMAP/SMEP/PAN/PXN) on some 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs. This prevents
     the kernel from accidentally accessing userspace outside
     copy_to/from_user(), or ever executing userspace.

   - KASAN support on 32-bit.

   - Rework of where we map the kernel, vmalloc, etc. on 64-bit hash to
     use the same address ranges we use with the Radix MMU.

   - A rewrite into C of large parts of our idle handling code for
     64-bit Book3S (ie. power8 &amp; power9).

   - A fast path entry for syscalls on 32-bit CPUs, for a 12-17% speedup
     in the null_syscall benchmark.

   - On 64-bit bare metal we have support for recovering from errors
     with the time base (our clocksource), however if that fails
     currently we hang in __delay() and never crash. We now have support
     for detecting that case and short circuiting __delay() so we at
     least panic() and reboot.

   - Add support for optionally enabling the DAWR on Power9, which had
     to be disabled by default due to a hardware erratum. This has the
     effect of enabling hardware breakpoints for GDB, the downside is a
     badly behaved program could crash the machine by pointing the DAWR
     at cache inhibited memory. This is opt-in obviously.

   - xmon, our crash handler, gets support for a read only mode where
     operations that could change memory or otherwise disturb the system
     are disabled.

  Plus many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

Operations which write to memory and special purpose registers should be
restricted on systems with integrity guarantees (such as Secure Boot)
and, optionally, to avoid self-destructive behaviors.

Add a config option, XMON_DEFAULT_RO_MODE, to set default xmon behavior.
The kernel cmdline options xmon=ro and xmon=rw override this default.

The following xmon operations are affected:
memops:
	disable memmove
	disable memset
	disable memzcan
memex:
	no-op'd mwrite
super_regs:
	no-op'd write_spr
bpt_cmds:
	disable
proc_call:
	disable

and, optionally, to avoid self-destructive behaviors.

Add a config option, XMON_DEFAULT_RO_MODE, to set default xmon behavior.
The kernel cmdline options xmon=ro and xmon=rw override this default.

The following xmon operations are affected:
memops:
	disable memmove
	disable memset
	disable memzcan
memex:
	no-op'd mwrite
super_regs:
	no-op'd write_spr
bpt_cmds:
	disable
proc_call:
	disable

All files containing functions run before kasan_early_init() is called
must have KASAN instrumentation disabled.

For those file, branch profiling also have to be disabled otherwise
each if () generates a call to ftrace_likely_update().

<title>powerpc/64s: Reimplement book3s idle code in C</title>

Reimplement Book3S idle code in C, moving POWER7/8/9 implementation
speific HV idle code to the powernv platform code.

Book3S assembly stubs are kept in common code and used only to save
the stack frame and non-volatile GPRs before executing architected
idle instructions, and restoring the stack and reloading GPRs then
returning to C after waking from idle.

The complex logic dealing with threads and subcores, locking, SPRs,
HMIs, timebase resync, etc., is all done in C which makes it more
maintainable.

This is not a strict translation to C code, there are some
significant differences:

- Idle wakeup no longer uses the -&gt;cpu_restore call to reinit SPRs,
  but saves and restores them itself.

- The optimisation where EC=ESL=0 idle modes did not have to save GPRs
  or change MSR is restored, because it's now simple to do. ESL=1
  sleeps that do not lose GPRs can use this optimization too.

- KVM secondary entry and cede is now more of a call/return style
  rather than branchy. nap_state_lost is not required because KVM
  always returns via NVGPR restoring path.

- KVM secondary wakeup from offline sequence is moved entirely into
  the offline wakeup, which avoids a hwsync in the normal idle wakeup
  path.

Performance measured with context switch ping-pong on different
threads or cores, is possibly improved a small amount, 1-3% depending
on stop state and core vs thread test for shallow states. Deep states
it's in the noise compared with other latencies.

KVM improvements:

- Idle sleepers now always return to caller rather than branch out
  to KVM first.

- This allows optimisations like very fast return to caller when no
  state has been lost.

- KVM no longer requires nap_state_lost because it controls NVGPR
  save/restore itself on the way in and out.

- The heavy idle wakeup KVM request check can be moved out of the
  normal host idle code and into the not-performance-critical offline
  code.

- KVM nap code now returns from where it is called, which makes the
  flow a bit easier to follow.

In a bid to kill off explicit mmiowb() usage in driver code, hook up
the asm-generic mmiowb() tracking code but provide a definition of
arch_mmiowb_state() so that the tracking data can remain in the paca
as it does at present

This replaces the existing (flawed) implementation.

<title>powerpc/xmon: Fix opcode being uninitialized in print_insn_powerpc</title>

When building with -Wsometimes-uninitialized, Clang warns:

  arch/powerpc/xmon/ppc-dis.c:157:7: warning: variable 'opcode' is used
  uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
  [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
    if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTRS_POWER9))
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  arch/powerpc/xmon/ppc-dis.c:167:7: note: uninitialized use occurs here
    if (opcode == NULL)
        ^~~~~~
  arch/powerpc/xmon/ppc-dis.c:157:3: note: remove the 'if' if its
  condition is always true
    if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTRS_POWER9))
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  arch/powerpc/xmon/ppc-dis.c:132:38: note: initialize the variable
  'opcode' to silence this warning
    const struct powerpc_opcode *opcode;

                                        = NULL
  1 warning generated.

This warning seems to make no sense on the surface because opcode is set
to NULL right below this statement. However, there is a comma instead of
semicolon to end the dialect assignment, meaning that the opcode
assignment only happens in the if statement. Properly terminate that
line so that Clang no longer warns.
