Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() and sysfs_emit_at() in sysfs show
functions, which are preferred for formatting sysfs output because they
provide safer bounds checking.
While the current code only emits strings that fit easily within
PAGE_SIZE, use sysfs_emit() and sysfs_emit_at() to follow secure coding
best practices.
This is a mechanical cleanup with a few simple edge cases:
- In domains_show(), drop the redundant n < 0 check since neither
sprintf() nor sysfs_emit() return negative values.
- In powercap_show() and psr_show(), also drop the dead ret < 0 checks.
- In ps3_fw_version_show(), normalize the output by adding a terminating
newline as suggested by checkpatch.
- In vio's modalias_show(), replace the deprecated strcpy() [1] followed
by strlen() with sysfs_emit().
Leave validate_show() and the variable-length hv-gpci helpers unchanged
since they already have explicit bounds handling, and converting those
would be more than a mechanical conversion.

Nageswara reported that /proc/self/status was showing "vulnerable" for
the Speculation_Store_Bypass feature on Power10, eg:
$ grep Speculation_Store_Bypass: /proc/self/status
Speculation_Store_Bypass: vulnerable
But at the same time the sysfs files, and lscpu, were showing "Not
affected".
This turns out to simply be a bug in the reporting of the
Speculation_Store_Bypass, aka. PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS, case.
When SEC_FTR_STF_BARRIER was added, so that firmware could communicate
the vulnerability was not present, the code in ssb_prctl_get() was not
updated to check the new flag.
So add the check for SEC_FTR_STF_BARRIER being disabled. Rather than
adding the new check to the existing if block and expanding the comment
to cover both cases, rewrite the three cases to be separate so they can
be commented separately for clarity.

Some functions defined in `arch/powerpc/kernel` (and one in `arch/powerpc/
kexec`) are deserving of an `__init` macro attribute. These functions are
only called by other initialization functions and therefore should inherit
the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.

Merge some powerpc KVM patches from our topic branch.
In particular this brings in Nick's big series rewriting parts of the
guest entry/exit path in C.
Conflicts:
arch/powerpc/kernel/security.c
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S
Almost all logic is moved to C, by introducing a new in_guest mode for
the P9 path that branches very early in the KVM interrupt handler to P9
exit code.
The main P9 entry and exit assembly is now only about 160 lines of low
level stack setup and register save/restore, plus a bad-interrupt
handler.
There are two motivations for this, the first is just make the code more
maintainable being in C. The second is to reduce the amount of code
running in a special KVM mode, "realmode". In quotes because with radix
it is no longer necessarily real-mode in the MMU, but it still has to be
treated specially because it may be in real-mode, and has various
important registers like PID, DEC, TB, etc set to guest. This is hostile
to the rest of Linux and can't use arbitrary kernel functionality or be
instrumented well.
This initial patch is a reasonably faithful conversion of the asm code,
but it does lack any loop to return quickly back into the guest without
switching out of realmode in the case of unimportant or easily handled
interrupts. As explained in previous changes, handling HV interrupts
very quickly in this low level realmode is not so important for P9
performance, and are important to avoid for security, observability,
debugability reasons.

When the original spectre/meltdown mitigations were merged we put them
in setup_64.c for lack of a better place.
Since then we created security.c for some of the other mitigation
related code. But it should all be in there.
This sort of code movement can cause trouble for backports, but
hopefully this code is relatively stable these days (famous last words).

Branch cache flushing code patching has inter-dependencies on both the
link stack and the count cache flushing state.
To make the code clearer and to separate the link stack and count
cache handling, split the "toggle" (setting up variables and printing
enable/disable) from the code patching.

In preparation for instructions having a more complex data type start
using a macro, ppc_inst(), for making an instruction out of a u32. A
macro is used so that instructions can be used as initializer elements.
Currently this does nothing, but it will allow for creating a data type
that can represent prefixed instructions.

Currently we don't report anything useful in /proc/<pid>/status:
$ grep Speculation_Store_Bypass /proc/self/status
Speculation_Store_Bypass: unknown
Our mitigation is currently always a barrier instruction, which
doesn't map that well onto the existing possibilities for the PR_SPEC
values.
However even if we added a "barrier" type PR_SPEC value, userspace
would still need to consult some other source to work out which type
of barrier to use. So reporting "vulnerable" seems sufficient, as
userspace can see that and then consult its source to determine what
barrier to use.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Highlights:
- Infrastructure for secure boot on some bare metal Power9 machines.
The firmware support is still in development, so the code here
won't actually activate secure boot on any existing systems.
- A change to xmon (our crash handler / pseudo-debugger) to restrict
it to read-only mode when the kernel is lockdown'ed, otherwise it's
trivial to drop into xmon and modify kernel data, such as the
lockdown state.
- Support for KASLR on 32-bit BookE machines (Freescale / NXP).
- Fixes for our flush_icache_range() and __kernel_sync_dicache()
(VDSO) to work with memory ranges >4GB.
- Some reworks of the pseries CMM (Cooperative Memory Management)
driver to make it behave more like other balloon drivers and enable
some cleanups of generic mm code.
- A series of fixes to our hardware breakpoint support to properly
handle unaligned watchpoint addresses.
Plus a bunch of other smaller improvements, fixes and cleanups.

On some systems that are vulnerable to Spectre v2, it is up to
software to flush the link stack (return address stack), in order to
protect against Spectre-RSB.
When exiting from a guest we do some house keeping and then
potentially exit to C code which is several stack frames deep in the
host kernel. We will then execute a series of returns without
preceeding calls, opening up the possiblity that the guest could have
poisoned the link stack, and direct speculative execution of the host
to a gadget of some sort.
To prevent this we add a flush of the link stack on exit from a guest.
