Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "A couple of weeks of fixes.

  There's one fix for an oops on Power9 machines with Open CAPI
  adapters.

  And a fix for probable memory corruption in some of the new NPU code,
  caught by smatch though and not seen in the wild.

  Plus a few other minor fixes.

  There's one non-fix which is the perf_regs change. That was sent
  during the merge window but I accidentally only merged the first of
  two patches in the series. It's been in linux-next so hopefully
  doesn't conflict with anything in acme's tree.

  Thanks to: Alexey Kardashevskiy, Andrew Donnellan, Breno Leitao,
  Christian Lamparter, Christophe Leroy, Dan Carpenter, Frederic Barrat,
  Greg Kurz, Jason A. Donenfeld, Madhavan Srinivasan"

We use syscall.tbl to generate system call table on powerpc.

The unistd.h copy is no longer required now. Remove it.

<title>perf symbols: Add 'arch_cpu_idle' to the list of kernel idle symbols</title>

<content type='text'>
When testing 'perf top' on a armhf system (32-bit, Orange Pi Zero), I
noticed that 'arch_cpu_idle' dominated, add it to the list of idle
symbols, so that we can see what is that being done when not idle.

When testing 'perf top' on a armhf system (32-bit, Orange Pi Zero), I
noticed that 'arch_cpu_idle' dominated, add it to the list of idle
symbols, so that we can see what is that being done when not idle.

As now we'll update our fs.h copy and what tools/perf/trace/beauty/mount_flags.sh
needs just got moved to mount.h, use that instead.

<title>tools include uapi: Grab a copy of linux/mount.h</title>

We were using a copy of uapi/linux/fs.h to create the mount syscall
'flags' string table to use in 'perf trace', to convert from the number
obtained via the raw_syscalls:sys_enter into a string, using
tools/perf/trace/beauty/mount_flags.sh, but in e262e32d6bde ("vfs:
Suppress MS_* flag defs within the kernel unless explicitly enabled")
those defines got moved to linux/mount.h, so grab a copy of mount.h too.

Keep the uapi/linux/fs.h as we'll use it for the SEEK_ constants.

<title>perf top: Lift restriction on using callchains without "sym" in --sort</title>

This restriction is not present in 'perf report' and since 'perf top'
uses the same hists browser, remove it from it as well.

With this we create per event buckets with callchain trees, so that

  # perf top --sort dso -g --no-children

Bucketizes samples by DSO and below it shows the callchains leading to
functions in this DSO.

Try also:

  # perf top -e sched:*switch -g --no-children

To see the callchains leading to sched switches, pressing 'E' to expand
all one can quickly see the most common scheduler switches and what
leads to them, for instance, calls to IO, futexes, etc.

<title>perf tests: Add a test for the ARM 32-bit [vectors] page</title>

perf on ARM requires CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS to be turned on to allow some
independance with respect to the ARM CPU being used. Add a test which
tries to locate the [vectors] page, created when CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS is
turned on to help asses the system's health.

In preparation for checking that the vectors page on the ARM
architecture, refactor the find_vdso_map() function to accept finding an
arbitrary string and create a dedicated helper function for that under
util/find-map.c and update the filename to find-map.c and all references
to it: perf-read-vdso.c and util/vdso.c.
