If {i,d}-cache-block-size is set and {i,d}-cache-line-size is not, use
the block-size value for both. Per the devicetree spec cache-line-size
is only needed if it differs from the block size.

Originally the code would fallback from block size to line size. An
error message was printed if both properties were missing.

Later the code was refactored to use clearer names and logic but it
inadvertently made line size a required property, meaning on systems
without a line size property we fall back to the default from the
cputable.

On powernv (OPAL) platforms, since the introduction of device tree CPU
features (5a61ef74f269 ("powerpc/64s: Support new device tree binding
for discovering CPU features")), that has led to the wrong value being
used, as the fallback value is incorrect for Power8/Power9 CPUs.

The incorrect values flow through to the VDSO and also to the sysconf
values, SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_LINESIZE etc.

<title>powerpc/64: Prevent stack protection in early boot</title>

<id>7053f80d96967d8e72e9f2a724bbfc3906ce2b07</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous commit reduced the amount of code that is run before we
setup a paca. However there are still a few remaining functions that
run with no paca, or worse, with an arbitrary value in r13 that will
be used as a paca pointer.

In particular the stack protector canary is stored in the paca, so if
stack protector is activated for any of these functions we will read
the stack canary from wherever r13 points. If r13 happens to point
outside of memory we will get a machine check / checkstop.

For example if we modify initialise_paca() to trigger stack
protection, and then boot in the mambo simulator with r13 poisoned in
skiboot before calling the kernel:

  DEBUG: 19952232: (19952232): INSTRUCTION: PC=0xC0000000191FC1E8: [0x3C4C006D]: addis   r2,r12,0x6D [fetch]

So annotate the relevant functions to ensure stack protection is never
enabled for them.

<title>powerpc/64: Setup a paca before parsing device tree etc.</title>

<id>d4a8e98621543d5798421eed177978bf2b3cdd11</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we set up the paca after parsing the device tree for CPU
features. Prior to that, r13 contains random data, which means there
is random data in r13 while we're running the generic dt parsing code.

This random data varies depending on whether we boot through a vmlinux
or a zImage: for the vmlinux case it's usually around zero, but for
zImages we see random values like 912a72603d420015.

This is poor practice, and can also lead to difficult-to-debug
crashes. For example, when kcov is enabled, the kcov instrumentation
attempts to read preempt_count out of the current task, which goes via
the paca. This then crashes in the zImage case.

Similarly stack protector can cause crashes if r13 is bogus, by
reading from the stack canary in the paca.

To resolve this:

 - move the paca setup to before the CPU feature parsing.

 - because we no longer have access to CPU feature flags in paca
 setup, change the HV feature test in the paca setup path to consider
 the actual value of the MSR rather than the CPU feature.

Translations get switched on once we leave early_setup, so I think
we'd already catch any other cases where the paca or task aren't set
up.

Boot tested on a P9 guest and host.

In order to ease stack overflow detection, align
stack to 2 * THREAD_SIZE when using VMAP_STACK.
This allows overflow detection using a single bit check.

Fix it by using the suggestions from Michael:

  "Neither of those sites should use DBG(), that's not really early
  boot code, they should just use pr_warn().

  And the other uses of DBG() in initialize_cache_info() should just
  be removed.

  In smp_release_cpus() the entry/exit DBG's should just be removed,
  and the spinning_secondaries line should just be pr_debug().

  That would just leave the two calls in early_setup(). If we taught
  udbg_printf() to return early when udbg_putc is NULL, then we could
  just call udbg_printf() unconditionally and get rid of the DBG macro
  entirely."

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Slightly delayed due to the issue with printk() calling
  probe_kernel_read() interacting with our new user access prevention
  stuff, but all fixed now.

  The only out-of-area changes are the addition of a cpuhp_state, small
  additions to Documentation and MAINTAINERS updates.

  Highlights:

   - Support for Kernel Userspace Access/Execution Prevention (like
     SMAP/SMEP/PAN/PXN) on some 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs. This prevents
     the kernel from accidentally accessing userspace outside
     copy_to/from_user(), or ever executing userspace.

   - KASAN support on 32-bit.

   - Rework of where we map the kernel, vmalloc, etc. on 64-bit hash to
     use the same address ranges we use with the Radix MMU.

   - A rewrite into C of large parts of our idle handling code for
     64-bit Book3S (ie. power8 &amp; power9).

   - A fast path entry for syscalls on 32-bit CPUs, for a 12-17% speedup
     in the null_syscall benchmark.

   - On 64-bit bare metal we have support for recovering from errors
     with the time base (our clocksource), however if that fails
     currently we hang in __delay() and never crash. We now have support
     for detecting that case and short circuiting __delay() so we at
     least panic() and reboot.

   - Add support for optionally enabling the DAWR on Power9, which had
     to be disabled by default due to a hardware erratum. This has the
     effect of enabling hardware breakpoints for GDB, the downside is a
     badly behaved program could crash the machine by pointing the DAWR
     at cache inhibited memory. This is opt-in obviously.

   - xmon, our crash handler, gets support for a read only mode where
     operations that could change memory or otherwise disturb the system
     are disabled.

  Plus many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

<title>powerpc/64: Setup KUP on secondary CPUs</title>

Some platforms (i.e. Radix MMU) need per-CPU initialisation for KUP.

Any platforms that only want to do KUP initialisation once
globally can just check to see if they're running on the boot CPU, or
check if whatever setup they need has already been performed.

Note that this is only for 64-bit.
