In order to protect against speculation attacks (Spectre
variant 2) on NXP PowerPC platforms, the branch predictor
should be flushed when the privillege level is changed.
This patch is adding the infrastructure to fixup at runtime
the code sections that are performing the branch predictor flush
depending on a boot arg parameter which is added later in a
separate patch.

commit f21f49ea639a ("[POWERPC] Remove the dregs of APUS support from
arch/powerpc") removed CONFIG_APUS, but forgot to remove the logic
which adapts tophys() and tovirt() for it.

This patch removes the last stale pieces.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - A large series to rewrite our SLB miss handling, replacing a lot of
     fairly complicated asm with much fewer lines of C.

   - Following on from that, we now maintain a cache of SLB entries for
     each process and preload them on context switch. Leading to a 27%
     speedup for our context switch benchmark on Power9.

   - Improvements to our handling of SLB multi-hit errors. We now print
     more debug information when they occur, and try to continue running
     by flushing the SLB and reloading, rather than treating them as
     fatal.

   - Enable THP migration on 64-bit Book3S machines (eg. Power7/8/9).

   - Add support for physical memory up to 2PB in the linear mapping on
     64-bit Book3S. We only support up to 512TB as regular system
     memory, otherwise the percpu allocator runs out of vmalloc space.

   - Add stack protector support for 32 and 64-bit, with a per-task
     canary.

   - Add support for PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP.

   - Support recognising "big cores" on Power9, where two SMT4 cores are
     presented to us as a single SMT8 core.

   - A large series to cleanup some of our ioremap handling and PTE
     flags.

   - Add a driver for the PAPR SCM (storage class memory) interface,
     allowing guests to operate on SCM devices (acked by Dan).

   - Changes to our ftrace code to handle very large kernels, where we
     need to use a trampoline to get to ftrace_caller().

  And many other smaller enhancements and cleanups.

<title>powerpc/ftrace: Handle large kernel configs</title>

<id>67361cf80712867329a9cd3ff0e3171545cfc867</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, we expect to be able to reach ftrace_caller() from all
ftrace-enabled functions through a single relative branch. With large
kernel configs, we see functions outside of 32MB of ftrace_caller()
causing ftrace_init() to bail.

In such configurations, gcc/ld emits two types of trampolines for mcount():
1. A long_branch, which has a single branch to mcount() for functions that
   are one hop away from mcount():
	c0000000019e8544 &lt;00031b56.long_branch._mcount&gt;:
	c0000000019e8544:	4a 69 3f ac 	b       c00000000007c4f0 &lt;._mcount&gt;

2. A plt_branch, for functions that are farther away from mcount():
	c0000000051f33f8 &lt;0008ba04.plt_branch._mcount&gt;:
	c0000000051f33f8:	3d 82 ff a4 	addis   r12,r2,-92
	c0000000051f33fc:	e9 8c 04 20 	ld      r12,1056(r12)
	c0000000051f3400:	7d 89 03 a6 	mtctr   r12
	c0000000051f3404:	4e 80 04 20 	bctr

We can reuse those trampolines for ftrace if we can have those
trampolines go to ftrace_caller() instead. However, with ABIv2, we
cannot depend on r2 being valid. As such, we use only the long_branch
trampolines by patching those to instead branch to ftrace_caller or
ftrace_regs_caller.

In addition, we add additional trampolines around .text and .init.text
to catch locations that are covered by the plt branches. This allows
ftrace to work with most large kernel configurations.

For now, we always patch the trampolines to go to ftrace_regs_caller,
which is slightly inefficient. This can be optimized further at a later
point.

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).

Since the struct lsm_info table is not an initcall, we can just move it
into INIT_DATA like all the other tables.

Add a config symbol to encode which platforms support the
barrier_nospec speculation barrier. Currently this is just Book3S 64
but we will add Book3E in a future patch.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Support for split PMD page table lock on 64-bit Book3S (Power8/9).

   - Add support for HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE, so we properly support
     live patching again.

   - Add support for patching barrier_nospec in copy_from_user() and
     syscall entry.

   - A couple of fixes for our data breakpoints on Book3S.

   - A series from Nick optimising TLB/mm handling with the Radix MMU.

   - Numerous small cleanups to squash sparse/gcc warnings from Mathieu
     Malaterre.

   - Several series optimising various parts of the 32-bit code from
     Christophe Leroy.

   - Removal of support for two old machines, "SBC834xE" and "C2K"
     ("GEFanuc,C2K"), which is why the diffstat has so many deletions.

  And many other small improvements &amp; fixes.

  There's a few out-of-area changes. Some minor ftrace changes OK'ed by
  Steve, and a fix to our powernv cpuidle driver. Then there's a series
  touching mm, x86 and fs/proc/task_mmu.c, which cleans up some details
  around pkey support. It was ack'ed/reviewed by Ingo &amp; Dave and has
  been in next for several weeks.
