Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

This patch drops the assembly PPC64 version of flush_dcache_range()

With GCC 8.1, the following code is generated:

void flush_test(unsigned long start, unsigned long stop)
{
	flush_dcache_range(start, stop);

<title>powerpc/64: flush_inval_dcache_range() becomes flush_dcache_range()</title>

<content type='text'>
On most arches having function flush_dcache_range(), including PPC32,
this function does a writeback and invalidation of the cache bloc.

On PPC64, flush_dcache_range() only does a writeback while
flush_inval_dcache_range() does the invalidation in addition.

In addition it looks like within arch/powerpc/, there are no PPC64
platforms using flush_dcache_range()

This patch drops the existing 64 bits version of flush_dcache_range()
and renames flush_inval_dcache_range() into flush_dcache_range().

<title>powerpc/kexec: Fix kexec/kdump in P9 guest kernels</title>

<id>2621e945fbf1d6df5f3f0ba7be5bae3d2cf9b6a5</id>
<content type='text'>
The code that cleans up the IAMR/AMOR before kexec'ing failed to
remember that when we're running as a guest AMOR is not writable, it's
hypervisor privileged.

They symptom is that the kexec stops before entering purgatory and
nothing else is seen on the console. If you examine the state of the
system all threads will be in the 0x700 program check handler.

Fix it by making the write to AMOR dependent on HV mode.

This patch fixes a crash seen while doing a kexec from radix mode to
hash mode. Key 0 is special in hash and used in the RPN by default, we
set the key values to 0 today. In radix mode key 0 is used to control
supervisor&lt;-&gt;user access. In hash key 0 is used by default, so the
first instruction after the switch causes a crash on kexec.

Commit 3b10d0095a1e ("powerpc/mm/radix: Prevent kernel execution of
user space") introduced the setting of IAMR and AMOR values to prevent
execution of user mode instructions from supervisor mode. We need to
clean up these SPR's on kexec.

<title>powerpc/64: Fix flush_(d|i)cache_range() called from modules</title>

When the kernel is compiled to use 64bit ABIv2 the _GLOBAL() macro does
not include a global entry point. A function's global entry point is
used when the function is called from a different TOC context and in the
kernel this typically means a call from a module into the vmlinux (or
vice-versa).

There are a few exported asm functions declared with _GLOBAL() and
calling them from a module will likely crash the kernel since any TOC
relative load will yield garbage.

flush_icache_range() and flush_dcache_range() are both exported to
modules, and use the TOC, so must use _GLOBAL_TOC().

<title>powerpc/64: Fix naming of cache block vs. cache line</title>

In a number of places we called "cache line size" what is actually
the cache block size, which in the powerpc architecture, means the
effective size to use with cache management instructions (it can
be different from the actual cache line size).

We fix the naming across the board and properly retrieve both
pieces of information when available in the device-tree.
