Merge our fixes branch from the 4.15 cycle.

Unusually the fixes branch saw some significant features merged,
notably the RFI flush patches, so we want the code in next to be
tested against that, to avoid any surprises when the two are merged.

There's also some other work on the panic handling that was reverted
in fixes and we now want to do properly in next, which would conflict.

And we also fix a few other minor merge conflicts.

New Kconfig is added "CONFIG_PPC_IRQ_SOFT_MASK_DEBUG" to add WARN_ON
to alert the invalid transitions. Also moved the code under the
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS in arch_local_irq_restore() to new Kconfig.

Two new bit mask field "IRQ_DISABLE_MASK_PMU" is introduced to support
the masking of PMI and "IRQ_DISABLE_MASK_ALL" to aid interrupt masking
checking.

Couple of new irq #defs "PACA_IRQ_PMI" and "SOFTEN_VALUE_0xf0*" added
to use in the exception code to check for PMI interrupts.

In the masked_interrupt handler, for PMIs we reset the MSR[EE] and
return. In the __check_irq_replay(), replay the PMI interrupt by
calling performance_monitor_common handler.

<content type='text'>
"paca-&gt;soft_enabled" is used as a flag to mask some of interrupts.
Currently supported flags values and their details:

soft_enabled    MSR[EE]

0               0       Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked)
1               1       Enabled

"paca-&gt;soft_enabled" is initialized to 1 to make the interripts as
enabled. arch_local_irq_disable() will toggle the value when
interrupts needs to disbled. At this point, the interrupts are not
actually disabled, instead, interrupt vector has code to check for the
flag and mask it when it occurs. By "mask it", it update interrupt
paca-&gt;irq_happened and return. arch_local_irq_restore() is called to
re-enable interrupts, which checks and replays interrupts if any
occured.

Now, as mentioned, current logic doesnot mask "performance monitoring
interrupts" and PMIs are implemented as NMI. But this patchset depends
on local_irq_* for a successful local_* update. Meaning, mask all
possible interrupts during local_* update and replay them after the
update.

So the idea here is to reserve the "paca-&gt;soft_enabled" logic. New
values and details:

soft_enabled    MSR[EE]

1               0       Disabled  (PMI and HMI not masked)
0               1       Enabled

Reason for the this change is to create foundation for a third mask
value "0x2" for "soft_enabled" to add support to mask PMIs. When
-&gt;soft_enabled is set to a value "3", PMI interrupts are mask and when
set to a value of "1", PMI are not mask. With this patch also extends
soft_enabled as interrupt disable mask.

Current flags are renamed from IRQ_[EN?DIS}ABLED to
IRQS_ENABLED and IRQS_DISABLED.

Patch also fixes the ptrace call to force the user to see the softe
value to be alway 1. Reason being, even though userspace has no
business knowing about softe, it is part of pt_regs. Like-wise in
signal context.

updating paca-&gt;soft_enabled. Replace the hardcoded values used when
updating paca-&gt;soft_enabled with IRQ_(EN|DIS)ABLED #define. No logic

<title>powerpc/64: rtas avoid accessing paca in 32-bit mode</title>

Commit 177ba7c647f3 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Limit paca allocation in radix")
limited the paca allocation address to 1G on pSeries because RTAS return
accesses the paca in 32-bit mode:

    On return from RTAS we access the paca variables and we have 64 bit
    disabled. This requires us to limit paca in 32 bit range.

    Fix this by setting ppc64_rma_size to first_memblock_size/1G range.

Avoid this limit by switching to 64-bit mode before accessing any memory.

Similar to the syscall return path, in fast_exception_return we may be
returning to user or kernel context. We already have a test for that,
because we conditionally restore r13. So use that existing test and
branch, and bifurcate the return based on that.

This commit does simple conversions of rfi/rfid to the new macros that
include the expected destination context. By simple we mean cases
where there is a single well known destination context, and it's
simply a matter of substituting the instruction for the appropriate
macro.
