The backport of 4705e02498d6 ("powerpc: Update TM user feature bits in
scan_features()") (f49eb503f0f9), missed the fact that 4.1 doesn't
include the commit that added PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC.

The correct fix is simply to omit PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC.

[ Upstream commit 4705e02498d6d5a7ab98dfee9595cd5e91db2017 ]

We need to update the user TM feature bits (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM and
PPC_FEATURE2_HTM) to mirror what we do with the kernel TM feature
bit.

At the moment, if firmware reports TM is not available we turn off
the kernel TM feature bit but leave the userspace ones on. Userspace
thinks it can execute TM instructions and it dies trying.

This (together with a QEMU patch) fixes PR KVM, which doesn't currently
support TM.

[ Upstream commit beff82374b259d726e2625ec6c518a5f2613f0ae ]

scan_features() updates cpu_user_features but not cpu_user_features2.

Amongst other things, cpu_user_features2 contains the user TM feature
bits which we must keep in sync with the kernel TM feature bit.

<title>powerpc: scan_features() updates incorrect bits for REAL_LE</title>

<id>85f0cb09c6458014e7bb168bc764675a06dc4dca</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 6997e57d693b07289694239e52a10d2f02c3a46f ]

The REAL_LE feature entry in the ibm_pa_feature struct is missing an MMU
feature value, meaning all the remaining elements initialise the wrong
values.

This means instead of checking for byte 5, bit 0, we check for byte 0,
bit 0, and then we incorrectly set the CPU feature bit as well as MMU
feature bit 1 and CPU user feature bits 0 and 2 (5).

Checking byte 0 bit 0 (IBM numbering), means we're looking at the
"Memory Management Unit (MMU)" feature - ie. does the CPU have an MMU.
In practice that bit is set on all platforms which have the property.

This means we set CPU_FTR_REAL_LE always. In practice that seems not to
matter because all the modern cpus which have this property also
implement REAL_LE, and we've never needed to disable it.

We're also incorrectly setting MMU feature bit 1, which is:

  #define MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx		0x00000002

Luckily the only place that looks for MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx is in Book3E
code, which can't run on the same cpus as scan_features(). So this also
doesn't matter in practice.

Finally in the CPU user feature mask, we're setting bits 0 and 2. Bit 2
is not currently used, and bit 0 is:

  #define PPC_FEATURE_PPC_LE		0x00000001

Which says the CPU supports the old style "PPC Little Endian" mode.
Again this should be harmless in practice as no 64-bit CPUs implement
that mode.

Fix the code by adding the missing initialisation of the MMU feature.

Also add a comment marking CPU user feature bit 2 (0x4) as reserved. It
would be unsafe to start using it as old kernels incorrectly set it.

As commit 50ba08f3 ("of/fdt: Don't clear initial_boot_params

"initial_boot_params" is initialized by early_init_dt_verify(),

Firmware is allowed to communicate to us via the "ibm,pa-features" property
that TM (Transactional Memory) support is disabled.

Currently this doesn't happen on any platform we're aware of, but we should
