Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - A series from Nick adding ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM &amp; selecting
   it for powerpc, as well as a related fix for sparc.

 - Remove support for PowerPC 601.

 - Some fixes for watchpoints &amp; addition of a new ptrace flag for
   detecting ISA v3.1 (Power10) watchpoint features.

 - A fix for kernels using 4K pages and the hash MMU on bare metal
   Power9 systems with &gt; 16TB of RAM, or RAM on the 2nd node.

 - A basic idle driver for shallow stop states on Power10.

 - Tweaks to our sched domains code to better inform the scheduler about
   the hardware topology on Power9/10, where two SMT4 cores can be
   presented by firmware as an SMT8 core.

 - A series doing further reworks &amp; cleanups of our EEH code.

 - Addition of a filter for RTAS (firmware) calls done via sys_rtas(),
   to prevent root from overwriting kernel memory.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.

CPUs may fail to enter the chosen idle state if there was a
pending interrupt, causing the cpuidle driver to return an error
value.

Record that and export it via sysfs along with the other idle state
statistics.

This could prove useful in understanding behavior of the governor
and the system during usecases that involve multiple CPUs.

The commit 1098582a0f6c ("sched,idle,rcu: Push rcu_idle deeper into the
idle path"), moved the calls rcu_idle_enter|exit() into the cpuidle core.

However, it forgot to remove a couple of comments in enter_s2idle_proper()
about why RCU_NONIDLE earlier was needed. So, let's drop them as they have
become a bit misleading.

<title>cpuidle: psci: Allow PM domain to be initialized even if no OSI mode</title>

If the PSCI OSI mode isn't supported or fails to be enabled, the PM domain
topology with the genpd providers isn't initialized. This is perfectly fine
from cpuidle-psci point of view.

However, since the PM domain topology in the DTS files is a description of
the HW, no matter of whether the PSCI OSI mode is supported or not, other
consumers besides the CPUs may rely on it.

Therefore, let's always allow the initialization of the PM domain topology
to succeed, independently of whether the PSCI OSI mode is supported.
Consequentially we need to track if we succeed to enable the OSI mode, as
to know when a domain idlestate can be selected.

Note that, CPU devices are still not being attached to the PM domain
topology, unless the PSCI OSI mode is supported.

<title>firmware: psci: Extend psci_set_osi_mode() to allow reset to PC mode</title>

The current user (cpuidle-psci) of psci_set_osi_mode() only needs to enable
the PSCI OSI mode. Although, as subsequent changes shows, there is a need
to be able to reset back into the PSCI PC mode.

Therefore, let's extend psci_set_osi_mode() to take a bool as in-parameter,
to let the user indicate whether to enable OSI or to switch back to PC
mode.

<title>cpuidle: tegra: Correctly handle result of arm_cpuidle_simple_enter()</title>

<content type='text'>
The enter() callback of CPUIDLE drivers returns index of the entered idle
state on success or a negative value on failure. The negative value could
any negative value, i.e. it doesn't necessarily needs to be a error code.
That's because CPUIDLE core only cares about the fact of failure and not
about the reason of the enter() failure.

Like every other enter() callback, the arm_cpuidle_simple_enter() returns
the entered idle-index on success. Unlike some of other drivers, it never
fails. It happened that TEGRA_C1=index=err=0 in the code of cpuidle-tegra
driver, and thus, there is no problem for the cpuidle-tegra driver created
by the typo in the code which assumes that the arm_cpuidle_simple_enter()
returns a error code.

The arm_cpuidle_simple_enter() also may return a -ENODEV error if CPU_IDLE
is disabled in a kernel's config, but all CPUIDLE drivers are disabled if
CPU_IDLE is disabled, including the cpuidle-tegra driver. So we can't ever
see the error code from arm_cpuidle_simple_enter() today.

Of course the code may get some changes in the future and then the
typo may transform into a real bug, so let's correct the typo! The
tegra_cpuidle_state_enter() is now changed to make it return the entered
idle-index on success and negative error code on fail, which puts it on
par with the arm_cpuidle_simple_enter(), making code consistent in regards
to the error handling.

This patch fixes a minor typo in the code, it doesn't fix any bugs.

The commit eb1f00237aca ("lockdep,trace: Expose tracepoints"), started to
expose us for tracepoints. This lead to the following RCU splat on an ARM64
Qcom board.

[    5.665061]  arch_call_rest_init+0xc/0x14
[    5.668272]  start_kernel+0x508/0x540

Following the path in pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend() from
psci_enter_domain_idle_state(), it seems like we end up using the RCU.
Therefore, let's simply silence the splat by informing the RCU about it
with RCU_NONIDLE.

Note that, this is a temporary solution. Instead we should strive to avoid
using RCU_NONIDLE (and similar), but rather push rcu_idle_enter|exit()
further down, closer to the arch specific code. However, as the CPU PM
notifiers are also using the RCU, additional rework is needed.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "Some more powerpc fixes for 5.9:

   - Opt us out of the DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE support for now as it's causing
     crashes.

   - Fix a long standing bug in our DMA mask handling that was hidden
     until recently, and which caused problems with some drivers.

   - Fix a boot failure on systems with large amounts of RAM, and no
     hugepage support and using Radix MMU, only seen in the lab.

   - A few other minor fixes.

  Thanks to Alexey Kardashevskiy, Aneesh Kumar K.V, Gautham R. Shenoy,
  Hari Bathini, Ira Weiny, Nick Desaulniers, Shirisha Ganta, Vaibhav
  Jain, and Vaidyanathan Srinivasan"
