Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "One fix for a regression introduced by our 32-bit KASAN support, which
  broke booting on machines with "bootx" early debugging enabled.

  A fix for a bug which broke kexec on 32-bit, introduced by changes to
  the 32-bit STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support in v5.1.

  Finally two fixes going to stable for our THP split/collapse handling,
  discovered by Nick. The first fixes random crashes and/or corruption
  in guests under sufficient load.

  Thanks to: Nicholas Piggin, Christophe Leroy, Aaro Koskinen, Mathieu
  Malaterre"

<content type='text'>
When booting through OF, setup_disp_bat() does nothing because
disp_BAT are not set. By change, it used to work because BOOTX
buffer is mapped 1:1 at address 0x81000000 by the bootloader, and
btext_setup_display() sets virt addr same as phys addr.

But since commit 215b823707ce ("powerpc/32s: set up an early static
hash table for KASAN."), a temporary page table overrides the
bootloader mapping.

This 0x81000000 is also problematic with the newly implemented
Kernel Userspace Access Protection (KUAP) because it is within user
address space.

This patch fixes those issues by properly setting disp_BAT through
a call to btext_prepare_BAT(), allowing setup_disp_bat() to
properly setup BAT3 for early bootx screen buffer access.

This prepares to move CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING from x86 to a common
place.  We need to eliminate potential issues beforehand.

If it is enabled for powerpc, the following modpost warnings are
reported:

  WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x20): Section mismatch in reference from the function .prom_getprop() to the function .init.text:.call_prom()
  The function .prom_getprop() references the function __init .call_prom().
  This is often because .prom_getprop lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of .call_prom is wrong.

  WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x3c): Section mismatch in reference from the function .prom_getproplen() to the function .init.text:.call_prom()
  The function .prom_getproplen() references the function __init .call_prom().
  This is often because .prom_getproplen lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of .call_prom is wrong.

<title>powerpc/prom_init: don't use string functions from lib/</title>

<content type='text'>
When KASAN is active, the string functions in lib/ are doing the
KASAN checks. This is too early for prom_init.

This patch implements dedicated string functions for prom_init,
which will be compiled in with KASAN disabled.

Size of prom_init before the patch:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  12060	    488	   6960	  19508	   4c34	arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.o

Size of prom_init after the patch:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  12460	    488	   6960	  19908	   4dc4	arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.o

This increases the size of prom_init a bit, but as prom_init is
in __init section, it is freed after boot anyway.

This makes __prombss its own section, and for now store
it in .bss.

This will give us the ability later to store it elsewhere
and/or free it after boot (it's about 8KB).
