<title>powerpc/64s: Default l1d_size to 64K in RFI fallback flush</title>

If there is no d-cache-size property in the device tree, l1d_size could
be zero. We don't actually expect that to happen, it's only been seen
on mambo (simulator) in some configurations.

A zero-size l1d_size leads to the loop in the asm wrapping around to
2^64-1, and then walking off the end of the fallback area and
eventually causing a page fault which is fatal.

Just default to 64K which is correct on some CPUs, and sane enough to
not cause a crash on others.

<title>powerpc/64s: Fix section mismatch warnings from setup_rfi_flush()</title>

<content type='text'>
The recent LPM changes to setup_rfi_flush() are causing some section
mismatch warnings because we removed the __init annotation on
setup_rfi_flush():

  The function setup_rfi_flush() references
  the function __init ppc64_bolted_size().
  the function __init memblock_alloc_base().

The references are actually in init_fallback_flush(), but that is
inlined into setup_rfi_flush().

These references are safe because:
 - only pseries calls setup_rfi_flush() at runtime
 - pseries always passes L1D_FLUSH_FALLBACK at boot
 - so the fallback flush area will always be allocated
 - so the check in init_fallback_flush() will always return early:
   /* Only allocate the fallback flush area once (at boot time). */
   if (l1d_flush_fallback_area)
   	return;

 - and therefore we won't actually call the freed init routines.

We should rework the code to make it safer by default rather than
relying on the above, but for now as a quick-fix just add a __ref
annotation to squash the warning.

Bring in yet another series that touches KVM code, and might need to
be merged into the kvm-ppc branch to resolve conflicts.

This required some changes in pnv_power9_force_smt4_catch/release()
due to the paca array becomming an array of pointers.

Per-node allocations are possible on 64s with radix that does
not have the bolted SLB limitation.

Hash would be able to do the same if all CPUs had the bottom of
their node-local memory bolted as well. This is left as an
exercise for the reader.

Move this into the early setup code, and don't iterate over CPU masks.
We don't want to call into sysfs so early from setup, and a future patch
won't initialize CPU masks by the time this is called.

Change the paca array into an array of pointers to pacas. Allocate
pacas individually.

This allows flexibility in where the PACAs are allocated. Future work
will allocate them node-local. Platforms that don't have address limits
on PACAs would be able to defer PACA allocations until later in boot
rather than allocate all possible ones up-front then freeing unused.

This is slightly more overhead (one additional indirection) for cross
CPU paca references, but those aren't too common.

<title>powerpc/rfi-flush: Differentiate enabled and patched flush types</title>

Currently the rfi-flush messages print 'Using &lt;type&gt; flush' for all
enabled_flush_types, but that is not necessarily true -- as now the
fallback flush is always enabled on pseries, but the fixup function
overwrites its nop/branch slot with other flush types, if available.

So, replace the 'Using &lt;type&gt; flush' messages with '&lt;type&gt; flush is
available'.

Also, print the patched flush types in the fixup function, so users
can know what is (not) being used (e.g., the slower, fallback flush,
or no flush type at all if flush is disabled via the debugfs switch).

For PowerVM migration we want to be able to call setup_rfi_flush()
again after we've migrated the partition.

To support that we need to check that we're not trying to allocate the
fallback flush area after memblock has gone away (i.e., boot-time only).
