<title>powerpc: change CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_32 to CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_32</title>

<id>68289ae935da5a8488c0268111631f644d27b683</id>
<content type='text'>
Today we have:

config PPC_BOOK3S_32
        bool "512x/52xx/6xx/7xx/74xx/82xx/83xx/86xx"
        [depends on PPC32 within a choice]

config PPC_BOOK3S
        def_bool y
        depends on PPC_BOOK3S_32 || PPC_BOOK3S_64

config PPC_STD_MMU
	def_bool y
	depends on PPC_BOOK3S

config PPC_STD_MMU_32
	def_bool y
	depends on PPC_STD_MMU &amp;&amp; PPC32

PPC_STD_MMU_32 is therefore redundant with PPC_BOOK3S_32.

In order to make the code clearer, lets use preferably PPC_BOOK3S_32.
This will allow to remove CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_32 in a later patch.

Remove directly accessing device_node.type pointer and use the
accessors instead. This will eventually allow removing the type
pointer.

Replace the open coded iterating over child nodes with
for_each_child_of_node() while we're here.

Make it explicit that the caller gets a physical address rather than a
virtual one.

This will also allow using meblock_alloc prefix for memblock allocations
returning virtual address, which is done in the following patches.

The conversion is done using the following semantic patch:

Currently we require platform code to call setup_barrier_nospec(). But
if we add an empty definition for the !CONFIG_PPC_BARRIER_NOSPEC case
then we can call it in setup_arch().

Similar to previous patches, hard disable interrupts when a CPU is
in panic. This reduces the chance the watchdog has to interfere with
the panic, and avoids any other type of masked interrupt being
executed when crashing which minimises the length of the crash path.

Some function prototypes and body for Thermal Assist Units were not in
sync. Update the function definition to match the existing function
declaration found in `setup-common.c`, changing an `int` return type to a
`u32` return type. Move the prototypes to a header file. Fix the following
warnings, treated as error with W=1:

  arch/powerpc/kernel/tau_6xx.c:257:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘cpu_temp_both’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
  arch/powerpc/kernel/tau_6xx.c:262:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘cpu_temp’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
  arch/powerpc/kernel/tau_6xx.c:267:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘tau_interrupts’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Compile tested with CONFIG_TAU_INT.

<title>powerpc/64e: Fix oops due to deferral of paca allocation</title>

<id>1d0afc0d5a7c281f8ced3bd39f61f3328d5d3822</id>
<content type='text'>
On 64-bit Book3E systems, in setup_tlb_core_data() we reference other
CPUs pacas. But in commit 59f577743d71 ("powerpc/64: Defer paca
allocation until memory topology is discovered") the allocation of
non-boot-CPU pacas was deferred until later in boot.

This leads to an oops:

  CPU maps initialized for 1 thread per core
  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x8888888888888918
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000e2f0d0
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  NIP .setup_tlb_core_data+0xdc/0x160
  Call Trace:
    .setup_tlb_core_data+0x5c/0x160 (unreliable)
    .setup_arch+0x80/0x348
    .start_kernel+0x7c/0x598
    start_here_common+0x1c/0x40

Luckily setup_tlb_core_data() is called immediately prior to
smp_setup_pacas(). So simply switching their order is sufficient to
fix the oops and seems unlikely to have any other unwanted side
effects.
