Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - A big series refactoring parts of our KVM code, and converting some
   to C.

 - Support for ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY, and ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX on
   some CPUs.

 - Support for the Microwatt soft-core.

 - Optimisations to our interrupt return path on 64-bit.

 - Support for userspace access to the NX GZIP accelerator on PowerVM on
   Power10.

 - Enable KUAP and KUEP by default on 32-bit Book3S CPUs.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.

After removal of DISCINTIGMEM the NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and NUMA
configuration options are equivalent.

Drop CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and use CONFIG_NUMA instead.

Done with

	$ sed -i 's/CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/CONFIG_NUMA/' \
		$(git grep -wl CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)
	$ sed -i 's/NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/NUMA/' \
		$(git grep -wl NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)

with manual tweaks afterwards.

printk_safe_flush_on_panic() has special lock breaking code for the case
where we panic()ed with the console lock held. It relies on panic IPI
causing other CPUs to mark themselves offline.

Do as most other architectures do.

This effectively reverts commit de6e5d38417e ("powerpc: smp_send_stop do
not offline stopped CPUs"), unfortunately it may result in some false
positive warnings, but the alternative is more situations where we can
crash without getting messages out.

perform KUAP and KUEP initialisation in C.

Unlike PPC64, PPC32 doesn't have an early_setup_secondary(),
so do it in start_secondary().

<title>sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled</title>

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

Some of the per-CPU masks use cpu_cpu_mask as a filter to limit the search
for related CPUs. On a dlpar add of a CPU, update cpu_cpu_mask before
updating the per-CPU masks. This will ensure the cpu_cpu_mask is updated
correctly before its used in setting the masks. Setting the numa_node will
ensure that when cpu_cpu_mask() gets called, the correct node number is
used. This code movement helped fix the above call trace.

<title>powerpc/smp: Cache CPU to chip lookup</title>

<content type='text'>
On systems with large CPUs per node, even with the filtered matching of
related CPUs, there can be large number of calls to cpu_to_chip_id for
the same CPU. For example with 4096 vCPU, 1 node QEMU configuration,
with 4 threads per core, system could be see upto 1024 calls to
cpu_to_chip_id() for the same CPU. On a given system, cpu_to_chip_id()
for a given CPU would always return the same. Hence cache the result in
a lookup table for use in subsequent calls.

Since all CPUs sharing the same core will belong to the same chip, the
lookup_table has an entry for one CPU per core.  chip_id_lookup_table is
not being freed and would be used on subsequent CPU online post CPU
offline.

<title>powerpc/smp: Reintroduce cpu_core_mask</title>

Daniel reported that with Commit 4ca234a9cbd7 ("powerpc/smp: Stop
updating cpu_core_mask") QEMU was unable to set single NUMA node SMP
topologies such as:
 -smp 8,maxcpus=8,cores=2,threads=2,sockets=2
 i.e he expected 2 sockets in one NUMA node.

The above commit helped to reduce boot time on Large Systems for
example 4096 vCPU single socket QEMU instance. PAPR is silent on
having more than one socket within a NUMA node.

cpu_core_mask and cpu_cpu_mask for any CPU would be same unless the
number of sockets is different from the number of NUMA nodes.

One option is to reintroduce cpu_core_mask but use a slightly
different method to arrive at the cpu_core_mask. Previously each CPU's
chip-id would be compared with all other CPU's chip-id to verify if
both the CPUs were related at the chip level. Now if a CPU 'A' is
found related / (unrelated) to another CPU 'B', all the thread
siblings of 'A' and thread siblings of 'B' are automatically marked as
related / (unrelated).

Also if a platform doesn't support ibm,chip-id property, i.e its
cpu_to_chip_id returns -1, cpu_core_map holds a copy of
cpu_cpu_mask().
