Bring powerpc in line with other architectures that support extending or
overriding the bootloader provided command line.

The current behaviour is most like CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER where the
bootloader command line is preferred but the kernel config can provide a
fallback so CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER is the default. CMDLINE_EXTEND can
be used to append the CMDLINE from the kernel config to the one provided
by the bootloader.

The ultravisor will do an integrity check of the kernel image but we
relocated it so the check will fail. Restore the original image by
relocating it back to the kernel virtual base address.

This works because during build vmlinux is linked with an expected
virtual runtime address of KERNELBASE.

Prior to commit 1bd98d7fbaf5 ("ppc64: Update BUG handling based on
ppc32"), BUG() family was using BUG_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION which
was an invalid instruction opcode to trap into program check
exception.

That commit converted them to using standard trap instructions,
but prom/prom_init and their PROM_BUG() macro were left over.
head_64.S and exception-64s.S were left aside as well.

Convert them to using the standard BUG infrastructure.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

When booting through OF, setup_disp_bat() does nothing because
disp_BAT are not set. By change, it used to work because BOOTX
buffer is mapped 1:1 at address 0x81000000 by the bootloader, and
btext_setup_display() sets virt addr same as phys addr.

But since commit 215b823707ce ("powerpc/32s: set up an early static
hash table for KASAN."), a temporary page table overrides the
bootloader mapping.

This 0x81000000 is also problematic with the newly implemented
Kernel Userspace Access Protection (KUAP) because it is within user
address space.

This patch fixes those issues by properly setting disp_BAT through
a call to btext_prepare_BAT(), allowing setup_disp_bat() to
properly setup BAT3 for early bootx screen buffer access.

This patch fixes those issues by properly setting disp_BAT through
a call to btext_prepare_BAT(), allowing setup_disp_bat() to
properly setup BAT3 for early bootx screen buffer access.

On POWER9, if the hypervisor supports XIVE exploitation mode, the
guest OS will unconditionally requests for the XIVE interrupt mode
even if XIVE was deactivated with the kernel command line xive=off.
Later on, when the spapr XIVE init code handles xive=off, it disables
XIVE and tries to fall back on the legacy mode XICS.

This discrepency causes a kernel panic because the hypervisor is
configured to provide the XIVE interrupt mode to the guest :

  kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/xics-common.c:135!
  ...
  NIP xics_smp_probe+0x38/0x98
  LR  xics_smp_probe+0x2c/0x98
  Call Trace:
    xics_smp_probe+0x2c/0x98 (unreliable)
    pSeries_smp_probe+0x40/0xa0
    smp_prepare_cpus+0x62c/0x6ec
    kernel_init_freeable+0x148/0x448
    kernel_init+0x2c/0x148
    ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x68

Look for xive=off during prom_init and don't ask for XIVE in this
case. One exception though: if the host only supports XIVE, we still
want to boot so we ignore xive=off.

Similarly, have the spapr XIVE init code to looking at the interrupt
mode negotiated during CAS, and ignore xive=off if the hypervisor only
supports XIVE.
