Pull powerpc fixes friom Michael Ellerman:
 "Apologies for the late pull request, but Ben has been busy finding bugs.

   - Userspace was semi-randomly segfaulting on radix due to us
     incorrectly handling a fault triggered by autonuma, caused by a
     patch we merged earlier in v4.10 to prevent the kernel executing
     userspace.

   - We weren't marking host IPIs properly for KVM in the OPAL ICP
     backend.

   - The ERAT flushing on radix was missing an isync and was incorrectly
     marked as DD1 only.

   - The powernv CPU hotplug code was missing a wakeup type and failing
     to flush the interrupt correctly when using OPAL ICP

  Thanks to Benjamin Herrenschmidt"

The IPIs come in as HVI not EE, so we need to test the appropriate
SRR1 bits. The encoding is such that it won't have false positives
on P7 and P8 so we can just test it like that. We also need to handle
the icp-opal variant of the flush.

 "The main change is we're reverting the initial stack protector support
  we merged this cycle. It turns out to not work on toolchains built
  with libc support, and fixing it will be need to wait for another
  release.

  And the rest are all fairly minor:

   - Some pasemi machines were not booting due to a missing error check
     in prom_find_boot_cpu()

   - In EEH we were checking a pointer rather than the bool it pointed
     to

   - The clang build was broken by a BUILD_BUG_ON() we added.

   - The radix (Power9 only) version of map_kernel_page() was broken if
     our memory size was a multiple of 2MB, which it generally isn't

<title>modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities</title>

<id>71810db27c1c853b335675bee335d893bc3d324b</id>
<content type='text'>
The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.

This has a couple of downsides:

 - Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
   for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,

 - On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_&lt;arch&gt;_RELATIVE
   relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
   as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
   load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
   explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
   core module code)

 - Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
   each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
   CRCs.

Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset.  Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant.  Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.

So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff).  To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.

Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

option to use jump label for mmu_has_feature()") we added:

  BUILD_BUG_ON(!__builtin_constant_p(feature))

to cpu_has_feature() and mmu_has_feature() in order to catch usage
issues (such as cpu_has_feature(cpu_has_feature(X), which has happened
once in the past). Unfortunately LLVM isn't smart enough to resolve
this, and it errors out.

I work around it in my clang/LLVM builds of the kernel, but I have just
discovered that it causes a lot of issues for the bcc (eBPF) trace tool
(which uses LLVM).

For now just #ifdef it away for clang builds.

Unfortunately the stack protector support we merged recently only works
on some toolchains. If the toolchain is built without glibc support
everything works fine, but if glibc is built then it leads to a panic
at boot.

The solution is not rc5 material, so revert the support for now. This
reverts commits:

IBM bit 31 (for the rest of us - bit 0) is a reserved field in the
instruction definition of mtspr and mfspr. Hardware is encouraged to
(and does) ignore it.

As a result, if userspace executes an mtspr DSCR with the reserved bit
set, we get a DSCR facility unavailable exception. The kernel fails to
match against the expected value/mask, and we silently return to
userspace to try and re-execute the same mtspr DSCR instruction. We
loop forever until the process is killed.

We should do something here, and it seems mirroring what hardware does
is the better option vs killing the process. While here, relax the
matching of mfspr PVR too.

When we switched to big endian page table, we never updated the hugepd
format such that it can work for both big endian and little endian
config. This patch series update hugepd format such that it is looked at
as __be64 value in big endian page table config.

This patch also switch hugepd_t.pd from signed long to unsigned long.
I did update the FSL hugepd_ok check to check for the top bit instead
of checking &gt; 0.
