Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks &amp; rwlocks.

 - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
   Power9 or later.

 - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
   unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
   to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
   userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.

 - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
   checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
   architectures.

 - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
   code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
   systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.

 - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.

 - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
   stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.

 - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
   usual.

We are currently assuming that CEDE(0) has exit latency 10us, since
there is no way for us to query from the platform. However, if the
wakeup latency of an Extended CEDE state is smaller than 10us, then we
can be sure that the exit latency of CEDE(0) cannot be more than that.

In this patch, we fix the exit latency of CEDE(0) if we discover an
Extended CEDE state with wakeup latency smaller than 10us.

Benchmark results:

On POWER8, this patch does not have any impact since the advertized
latency of Extended CEDE (1) is 30us which is higher than the default
latency of CEDE (0) which is 10us.

On POWER9 we see improvement the single-threaded performance of
ebizzy, and no regression in the wakeup latency or the number of
context-switches.

2 ebizzy threads bound to the same big-core. 25% improvement in the

Currently we use CEDE with latency-hint 0 as the only other idle state
on a dedicated LPAR apart from the polling "snooze" state.

The platform might support additional extended CEDE idle states, which
can be discovered through the "ibm,get-system-parameter" rtas-call
made with CEDE_LATENCY_TOKEN.

This patch adds a function to obtain information about the extended
CEDE idle states from the platform and parse the contents to populate
an array of extended CEDE states. These idle states thus discovered
will be added to the cpuidle framework in the next patch.

dmesg on a POWER8 and POWER9 LPAR, demonstrating the output of parsing
the extended CEDE latency parameters are as follows

POWER8

[   10.093285] xcede : Record 0 : hint = 1, latency = 0x3c00 tb ticks, Wake-on-irq = 1

As per the PAPR, each H_CEDE call is associated with a latency-hint to
be passed in the VPA field "cede_latency_hint". The CEDE states that
we were implicitly entering so far is CEDE with latency-hint = 0.

This patch explicitly sets the latency hint corresponding to the CEDE
state that we are currently entering. While at it, we save the
previous hint, to be restored once we wakeup from CEDE. This will be
required in the future when we expose extended-cede states through the
cpuidle framework, where each of them will have a different
cede-latency hint.

Control Flow Integrity(CFI) is a security mechanism that disallows
changes to the original control flow graph of a compiled binary,
making it significantly harder to perform such attacks.

init_state_node() assign same function callback to different
function pointer declarations.

static int init_state_node(struct cpuidle_state *idle_state,
                           const struct of_device_id *matches,
                           struct device_node *state_node) { ...
        idle_state-&gt;enter = match_id-&gt;data; ...
        idle_state-&gt;enter_s2idle = match_id-&gt;data; }

Function declarations:

struct cpuidle_state { ...
        int (*enter) (struct cpuidle_device *dev,
                      struct cpuidle_driver *drv,
                      int index);

        void (*enter_s2idle) (struct cpuidle_device *dev,
                              struct cpuidle_driver *drv,
                              int index); };

In this case, either enter() or enter_s2idle() would cause CFI check
failed since they use same callee.

Align function prototype of enter() since it needs return value for
some use cases. The return value of enter_s2idle() is no
need currently.

Depending on the SoC/platform, additional devices may be part of the PSCI
PM domain topology. This is the case with 'qcom,rpmh-rsc' device, for
example, even if this is not yet visible in the corresponding DTS-files.

Without going into too much details, a device like the 'qcom,rpmh-rsc' may
have HW constraints that needs to be obeyed to, before a domain idlestate
can be picked.

Therefore, let's implement the -&gt;sync_state() callback to receive a
notification when all consumers of the PSCI PM domain providers have been
attached/probed to it. In this way, we can make sure all constraints from
all relevant devices, are taken into account before allowing a domain
idlestate to be picked.

<title>cpuidle: psci: Fix error path via converting to a platform driver</title>

The current error paths for the cpuidle-psci driver, may leak memory or
possibly leave CPU devices attached to their PM domains. These are quite
harmless issues, but still deserves to be taken care of.

Although, rather than fixing them by keeping track of allocations that
needs to be freed, which tends to become a bit messy, let's convert into a
platform driver. In this way, it gets easier to fix the memory leaks as we
can rely on the devm_* functions.

Moreover, converting to a platform driver also enables support for deferred
probe, which subsequent changes takes benefit from.

<title>cpuidle: psci: Fail cpuidle registration if set OSI mode failed</title>

Currently we allow the cpuidle driver registration to succeed, even if we
failed to enable the OSI mode when the hierarchical DT layout is used. This
means running in a degraded mode, by using the available idle states per
CPU, while also preventing the domain idle states.

Moving forward, this behaviour looks quite questionable to maintain, as
complexity seems to grow around it, especially when trying to add support
for deferred probe, for example.

Therefore, let's make the cpuidle driver registration to fail in this
situation, thus relying on the default architectural cpuidle backend for
WFI to be used.
