Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
 "On parisc we still sometimes need writeable stacks, e.g. if programs
  aren't compiled with gcc-14. To avoid issues with the upcoming
  systemd-254 we therefore have to disable prctl(PR_SET_MDWE) for now
  (for parisc only).

  The other two patches are minor: a bugfix for the soft power-off on
  qemu with 64-bit kernel and prefer strscpy() over strlcpy():

   - Fix power soft-off on qemu

   - Disable prctl(PR_SET_MDWE) since parisc sometimes still needs
     writeable stacks

   - Use strscpy instead of strlcpy in show_cpuinfo()"

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed
the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead
to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated[1].
Additionally, it returns the size of the source string, not the
resulting size of the destination string. In an effort to remove strlcpy()
completely[2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy().

Matoro reported various userspace crashes on the parisc platform with kernel
6.6 and bisected it to commit 3033cd430768 ("parisc: Use generic mmap top-down
layout and brk randomization").

That commit switched parisc to use the common infrastructure to calculate
mmap_base, but missed that the mmap_base() function takes care for
architectures where the stack grows downwards only.

Fix the mmap_base() calculation to include the stack-grows-upwards case
and thus fix the userspace crashes on parisc.

When calculating the pfn for the iitlbt/idtlbt instruction, do not
drop the upper 5 address bits. This doesn't seem to have an effect
on physical hardware which uses less physical address bits, but in
qemu the missing bits are visible.

   added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references to the
   long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

An excerpt from the PA8800 ERS states:

* The PA8800 violates the seven instruction pipeline rule when performing
  TLB inserts or PxTLBE instructions with the PSW C bit on. The instruction
  will take effect by the 12th instruction after the insert or purge.

I believe we have a problem with handling TLB misses. We don't fill
the pipeline following TLB inserts. As a result, we likely fault again
after returning from the interruption.

The above statement indicates that we need at least seven instructions
after the insert on pre PA8800 processors and we need 12 instructions
on PA8800/PA8900 processors.

Here we add macros and code to provide the required number instructions
after a TLB insert.
