<title>powerpc: Don't write to DABR on &gt;= Power8 if DAWR is disabled</title>

flush_thread() calls __set_breakpoint() via set_debug_reg_defaults()
without checking ppc_breakpoint_available(). On Power8 or later CPUs
which have the DAWR feature disabled that will cause a write to the
DABR which is incorrect as those CPUs don't have a DABR.

Fix it two ways, by checking ppc_breakpoint_available() in
set_debug_reg_defaults(), and also by reworking __set_breakpoint() to
only write to DABR on Power7 or earlier.

__giveup_fpu() is never called outside process.c, so it can be static.
That also means we don't need an empty definition in switch_to.h

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights:

   - Enable support for memory protection keys aka "pkeys" on Power7/8/9
     when using the hash table MMU.

   - Extend our interrupt soft masking to support masking PMU interrupts
     as well as "normal" interrupts, and then use that to implement
     local_t for a ~4x speedup vs the current atomics-based
     implementation.

   - A new driver "ocxl" for "Open Coherent Accelerator Processor
     Interface (OpenCAPI)" devices.

   - Support for new device tree properties on PowerVM to describe
     hotpluggable memory and devices.

   - Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 64-bit
     VDSO.

   - Freescale updates from Scott: fixes for CPM GPIO and an FSL PCI
     erratum workaround, plus a minor cleanup patch.

  As well as quite a lot of other changes all over the place, and small
  fixes and cleanups as always.

clear_thread_tidr() is called in interrupt context as a part of delayed
put of the task structure (i.e as a part of timer interrupt). To prevent
a deadlock, block interrupts when holding vas_thread_id_lock to set/
clear TIDR for a task.

There are so many places that build struct siginfo by hand that at
least one of them is bound to get it wrong.  A handful of cases in the
kernel arguably did just that when using the errno field of siginfo to
pass no errno values to userspace.  The usage is limited to a single
si_code so at least does not mess up anything else.

Encapsulate this questionable pattern in a helper function so
that the userspace ABI is preserved.

Update all of the places that use this pattern to use the new helper
function.

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.
