Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - Revert our removal of PROT_SAO, at least one user expressed an
   interest in using it on Power9. Instead don't allow it to be used in
   guests unless enabled explicitly at compile time.

 - A fix for a crash introduced by a recent change to FP handling.

 - Revert a change to our idle code that left Power10 with no idle
   support.

 - One minor fix for the new scv system call path to set PPR.

 - Fix a crash in our "generic" PMU if branch stack events were enabled.

 - A fix for the IMC PMU, to correctly identify host kernel samples.

 - The ADB_PMU powermac code was found to be incompatible with
   VMAP_STACK, so make them incompatible in Kconfig until the code can
   be fixed.

 - A build fix in drivers/video/fbdev/controlfb.c, and a documentation
   fix.

This reverts commit 5c9fa16e8abd342ce04dc830c1ebb2a03abf6c05.

Since PROT_SAO can still be useful for certain classes of software,
reintroduce it. Concerns about guest migration for LPARs using SAO
will be addressed next.

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:

A page never changes its zone number. The zone number happens to be
stored in the same word as other bits which are modified, but the zone
number bits will never be modified by any other write, so it can accept
a reload of the zone bits after an intervening write and it don't need
to use READ_ONCE(). Thus, annotate this data race using
ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() to also assert that there are no concurrent
writes to it.

Mirroring offset_in_page(), this gives you the offset within this
particular page, no matter what size page it is.  It optimises down to
offset_in_page() if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not set.

Give up on the notion that we can remove page-flags.h from mm.h.  There
are currently 14 inline functions which use a PageFoo function.  Also, two
of the files directly included by mm.h include page-flags.h themselves,
and there are probably more indirect inclusions.  So just include it at
the top like any other header file.

Patch series "THP prep patches".

These are some generic cleanups and improvements, which I would like
merged into mmotm soon.  The first one should be a performance improvement
for all users of compound pages, and the others are aimed at getting code
to compile away when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled (ie small
systems).  Also better documented / less confusing than the current prefix
mixture of compound, hpage and thp.

This patch (of 7):

This removes a few instructions from functions which need to know how many
pages are in a compound page.  The storage used is either page-&gt;mapping on
64-bit or page-&gt;index on 32-bit.  Both of these are fine to overlay on
tail pages.

After the cleanup of page fault accounting, gup does not need to pass
task_struct around any more.  Remove that parameter in the whole gup

Patch series "mm: Page fault accounting cleanups", v5.

This is v5 of the pf accounting cleanup series.  It originates from Gerald
Schaefer's report on an issue a week ago regarding to incorrect page fault
accountings for retried page fault after commit 4064b9827063 ("mm: allow
VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times"):

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200610174811.44b94525@thinkpad/

What this series did:

  - Correct page fault accounting: we do accounting for a page fault
    (no matter whether it's from #PF handling, or gup, or anything else)
    only with the one that completed the fault.  For example, page fault
    retries should not be counted in page fault counters.  Same to the
    perf events.

  - Unify definition of PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS: currently this perf
    event is used in an adhoc way across different archs.

    Case (1): for many archs it's done at the entry of a page fault
    handler, so that it will also cover e.g.  errornous faults.

    Case (2): for some other archs, it is only accounted when the page
    fault is resolved successfully.

    Case (3): there're still quite some archs that have not enabled
    this perf event.

    Since this series will touch merely all the archs, we unify this
    perf event to always follow case (1), which is the one that makes most
    sense.  And since we moved the accounting into handle_mm_fault, the
    other two MAJ/MIN perf events are well taken care of naturally.

  - Unify definition of "major faults": the definition of "major
    fault" is slightly changed when used in accounting (not
    VM_FAULT_MAJOR).  More information in patch 1.

  - Always account the page fault onto the one that triggered the page
    fault.  This does not matter much for #PF handlings, but mostly for
    gup.  More information on this in patch 25.

Patchset layout:

Patch 1:     Introduced the accounting in handle_mm_fault(), not enabled.
Patch 2-23:  Enable the new accounting for arch #PF handlers one by one.
Patch 24:    Enable the new accounting for the rest outliers (gup, iommu, etc.)
Patch 25:    Cleanup GUP task_struct pointer since it's not needed any more

This patch (of 25):

This is a preparation patch to move page fault accountings into the
general code in handle_mm_fault().  This includes both the per task
flt_maj/flt_min counters, and the major/minor page fault perf events.  To
do this, the pt_regs pointer is passed into handle_mm_fault().

PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS should still be kept in per-arch page fault
handlers.

So far, all the pt_regs pointer that passed into handle_mm_fault() is
NULL, which means this patch should have no intented functional change.
