<content type='text'>
commit a02f6d42357acf6e5de6ffc728e6e77faf3ad217 upstream.

It's not done anything for a long time. Save the percpu variable, and
emit a warning to remind users to not expect it to do anything.

This uses pr_warn_once instead of pr_warn_ratelimit as testing
'ppc64_cpu --smt=off' on a 24 core / 4 SMT system showed the warning
to be noisy, as the online/offline loop is slow.

User space might want to know it's running in a secure VM.  It can't do
a mfmsr because mfmsr is a privileged instruction.

The solution here is to create a cpu attribute:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/svm

which will read 0 or 1 based on the S bit of the current CPU.

CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL should not impact code generation.  Use the newly

<title>powerpc: change CONFIG_6xx to CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_32</title>

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 6xx
	def_bool y
	depends on PPC32 &amp;&amp; PPC_BOOK3S

6xx 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_6xx in a later patch.

Bring in yet another series that touches KVM code, and might need to
be merged into the kvm-ppc branch to resolve conflicts.

This required some changes in pnv_power9_force_smt4_catch/release()
due to the paca array becomming an array of pointers.

Move this into the early setup code, and don't iterate over CPU masks.
We don't want to call into sysfs so early from setup, and a future patch
won't initialize CPU masks by the time this is called.

Change the paca array into an array of pointers to pacas. Allocate
pacas individually.

This allows flexibility in where the PACAs are allocated. Future work
will allocate them node-local. Platforms that don't have address limits
on PACAs would be able to defer PACA allocations until later in boot
rather than allocate all possible ones up-front then freeing unused.

This is slightly more overhead (one additional indirection) for cross
CPU paca references, but those aren't too common.

The thread switch control register (TSCR) is a per core register
that configures how the CPU shares resources between SMT threads.

Exposing it via sysfs allows us to tune it at run time.
