CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG depends on CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, so there is no need for
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE anymore; adjust all instances to use
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG and remove CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE.

Rename memblock_free_ptr() to memblock_free() and use memblock_free()
when freeing a virtual pointer so that memblock_free() will be a
counterpart of memblock_alloc()

The callers are updated with the below semantic patch and manual
addition of (void *) casting to pointers that are represented by
unsigned long variables.

No functional change in this patch. arch_debugfs_dir is the generic kernel
name declared in linux/debugfs.h for arch-specific debugfs directory.
Architectures like x86/s390 already use the name. Rename powerpc
specific powerpc_debugfs_root to arch_debugfs_dir.

   to C.

<content type='text'>
After removal of DISCINTIGMEM the NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and NUMA
configuration options are equivalent.

Drop CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and use CONFIG_NUMA instead.

Done with

	$ sed -i 's/CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/CONFIG_NUMA/' \
		$(git grep -wl CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)
	$ sed -i 's/NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/NUMA/' \
		$(git grep -wl NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)

with manual tweaks afterwards.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Enable hardlockup watchdog for PowerVM partitions</title>

<id>633c8e9800f3884a26b2af59be8ce27696ad6ebf</id>
<content type='text'>
PowerVM will not arbitrarily oversubscribe or stop guests, page out the
guest kernel text to a NFS volume connected by carrier pigeon to abacus
based storage, etc., as a KVM host might. So PowerVM guests are not
likely to be killed by the hard lockup watchdog in normal operation,
even with shared processor LPARs which still get a minimum allotment of
CPU time.

Enable the hard lockup detector by default on !KVM guests, which we will
assume is PowerVM. It has been useful in finding problems on bare metal
kernels.

PowerVM will not arbitrarily oversubscribe or stop guests, page out the
guest kernel text to a NFS volume connected by carrier pigeon to abacus
based storage, etc., as a KVM host might. So PowerVM guests are not
likely to be killed by the hard lockup watchdog in normal operation,
even with shared processor LPARs which still get a minimum allotment of
CPU time.

Enable the hard lockup detector by default on !KVM guests, which we will
assume is PowerVM. It has been useful in finding problems on bare metal
kernels.

<title>powerpc: Fix early setup to make early_ioremap() work</title>

The immediate problem is that after commit
0bd3f9e953bd ("powerpc/legacy_serial: Use early_ioremap()") the kernel
silently reboots on some systems.

The reason is that early_ioremap() returns broken addresses as it uses
slot_virt[] array which initialized with offsets from FIXADDR_TOP ==
IOREMAP_END+FIXADDR_SIZE == KERN_IO_END - FIXADDR_SIZ + FIXADDR_SIZE ==
__kernel_io_end which is 0 when early_ioremap_setup() is called.
__kernel_io_end is initialized little bit later in early_init_mmu().

This fixes the initialization by swapping early_ioremap_setup() and
early_init_mmu().

<title>powerpc/powernv: Enable HAIL (HV AIL) for ISA v3.1 processors</title>

<id>49c1d07fd04f54eb588c4a1dfcedc8d22c5ffd50</id>
<content type='text'>
Starting with ISA v3.1, LPCR[AIL] no longer controls the interrupt
mode for HV=1 interrupts. Instead, a new LPCR[HAIL] bit is defined
which behaves like AIL=3 for HV interrupts when set.

Set HAIL on bare metal to give us mmu-on interrupts and improve
performance.

This also fixes an scv bug: we don't implement scv real mode (AIL=0)
vectors because they are at an inconvenient location, so we just
disable scv support when AIL can not be set. However powernv assumes
that LPCR[AIL] will enable AIL mode so it enables scv support despite
HV interrupts being AIL=0, which causes scv interrupts to go off into
the weeds.

<title>powerpc/64: Move security code into security.c</title>

When the original spectre/meltdown mitigations were merged we put them
in setup_64.c for lack of a better place.

Since then we created security.c for some of the other mitigation
related code. But it should all be in there.

This sort of code movement can cause trouble for backports, but
hopefully this code is relatively stable these days (famous last words).
