Merge our fixes branch from the 4.16 cycle.

There were a number of important fixes merged, in particular some Power9
workarounds that we want in next for testing purposes. There's also been
some conflicting changes in the CPU features code which are best merged
and tested before going upstream.

<title>selftests/powerpc: Skip tm-unavailable if TM is not enabled</title>

<id>b395e55b49ecd56ea28dc629f4ca4c6239fc07c3</id>
<content type='text'>
Some processor revisions do not support transactional memory, and
additionally kernel support can be disabled. In either case the
tm-unavailable test should be skipped, otherwise it will fail with
a SIGILL.

That commit also sets this selftest to be called through the test
harness as it's done for other TM selftests.

Finally, it avoids using "ping" as a thread name since it's
ambiguous and can be confusing when shown, for instance,
in a kernel backtrace log.

<title>selftests/powerpc: Fix missing clean of pmu/lib.o</title>

<id>b7abbd5a3533a31a1e7d4696ea275df543440c51</id>
<content type='text'>
The tm-resched-dscr test links against pmu/lib.o, but we don't have a
rule to clean pmu/lib.o. This can lead to a build break if you build
for big endian and then little, or vice versa.

Fix it by making tm-resched-dscr depend on pmu/lib.c, causing the code
to be built directly in, meaning no .o is generated.

Add a selftest to check if endianness is flipped inadvertently to BE
(MSR.LE set to zero) on BE and LE machines when a trap is caught in
transactional mode and load_fp and load_vec are zero, i.e. when MSR.FP

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for
  KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I
  think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle.

  Non-highlights:

   - Five fixes for the &gt;128T address space handling, both to fix bugs
     in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line
     with x86.

  Highlights:

   - Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a
     true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc.

   - Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver.

   - Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors
     can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery.

   - Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM
     to notify the Linux partition of topology changes.

   - Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on
     some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND).

   - Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on
     some Power9 revisions.

   - Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a
     CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users.

   - A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting
     for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes
     to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API.

   - Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are
     using transactional memory.

   - Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on
     Power9.

   - Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on
     Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver
     handles requests.

   - Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

Add a self test to check if FP/VEC/VSX registers are sane (restored
correctly) after a FP/VEC/VSX unavailable exception is caught during a
transaction.

This test checks all possibilities in a thread regarding the combination
of MSR.[FP|VEC] states in a thread and for each scenario raises a
FP/VEC/VSX unavailable exception in transactional state, verifying if
vs0 and vs32 registers, which are representatives of FP/VEC/VSX reg
sets, are not corrupted.
