<title>powerpc/pseries: Add KVM guest doorbell restrictions</title>

<content type='text'>
KVM guests have certain restrictions and performance quirks when using
doorbells. This patch moves the EPAPR KVM guest test so it can be shared
with PSERIES, and uses that in doorbell setup code to apply the KVM
guest quirks and  improves IPI performance for two cases:

 - PowerVM guests may now use doorbells even if they are secure.

 - KVM guests no longer use doorbells if XIVE is available.

There is a valid complaint that "KVM guest" is not a very reasonable
thing to test for, it's preferable for the hypervisor to advertise
particular behaviours to the guest so they could change if the
hypervisor implementation or configuration changes. However in this case
we were already assuming a KVM guest worst case, so this patch is about
containing those quirks. If KVM later advertises fast doorbells, we
should test for that and override the quirks.

Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally.
For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile.

No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can
assume all supported compilers know -fno-stack-protector.

GCC 4.8 and Clang support this option (https://godbolt.org/z/_HDGzN)

Get rid of cc-option from -fno-stack-protector.

Remove CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, which is always 'y'.

Note:
arch/mips/vdso/Makefile adds -fno-stack-protector twice, first
unconditionally, and second conditionally. I removed the second one.

System call entry and particularly exit code is beyond the limit of
what is reasonable to implement in asm.

This conversion moves all conditional branches out of the asm code,
except for the case that all GPRs should be restored at exit.

Null syscall test is about 5% faster after this patch, because the
exit work is handled under local_irq_disable, and the hard mask and
pending interrupt replay is handled after that, which avoids games
with MSR.

mpe: Includes subsequent fixes from Nick:

This fixes 4 issues caught by TM selftests. First was a tm-syscall bug
that hit due to tabort_syscall being called after interrupts were
reconciled (in a subsequent patch), which led to interrupts being
enabled before tabort_syscall was called. Rather than going through an
un-reconciling interrupts for the return, I just go back to putting
the test early in asm, the C-ification of that wasn't a big win
anyway.

Second is the syscall return _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK check would go into
an infinite loop if _TIF_RESTORE_TM became set. The asm code uses
_TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to brach to slowpath which includes
restore_tm_state.

Third is system call return was not calling restore_tm_state, I missed
this completely (alhtough it's in the return from interrupt C
conversion because when the asm syscall code encountered problems it
would branch to the interrupt return code.

Fourth is MSR_VEC missing from restore_math, which was caught by
tm-unavailable selftest taking an unexpected facility unavailable
interrupt when testing VSX unavailble exception with MSR.FP=1
MSR.VEC=1. Fourth case also has a fixup in a subsequent patch.

This implements the tricky tracing and soft irq handling bits in C,
leaving the low level bit to asm.

A functional difference is that this redirects the interrupt exit to
a return stub to execute blr, rather than the lr address itself. This
is probably barely measurable on real hardware, but it keeps the link
stack balanced.

Tested with QEMU.

<title>powerpc/prom_init: Use -ffreestanding to avoid a reference to bcmp</title>

LLVM revision r374662 gives LLVM the ability to convert certain loops
into a reference to bcmp as an optimization; this breaks
prom_init_check.sh:

    CALL    arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check.sh
  Error: External symbol 'bcmp' referenced from prom_init.c
  make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:196: prom_init_check] Error 1

bcmp is defined in lib/string.c as a wrapper for memcmp so this could
be added to the whitelist. However, commit
450e7dd4001f ("powerpc/prom_init: don't use string functions from
lib/") copied memcmp as prom_memcmp to avoid KASAN instrumentation so
having bcmp be resolved to regular memcmp would break that assumption.
Furthermore, because the compiler is the one that inserted bcmp, we
cannot provide something like prom_bcmp.

To prevent LLVM from being clever with optimizations like this, use
-ffreestanding to tell LLVM we are not hosted so it is not free to
make transformations like this.
