ba0635fcbe powerpc: Rename thread_struct.fs to addr_limit
It's called 'fs' for historical reasons, it's named after the x86 'FS'
register. But we don't have to use that name for the member of
thread_struct, and in fact arch/x86 doesn't even call it 'fs' anymore.

So rename it to 'addr_limit', which better reflects what it's used
for, and is also the name used on other arches.

Implement a new function to invoke stop, power9_offline_stop, which is
like power9_idle_stop but used by the cpu hotplug code.

Move KVM secondary state manipulation code to the offline case.

f384796c40 powerpc/mm: Add support for handling > 512TB address in SLB miss
For addresses above 512TB we allocate additional mmu contexts. To make
it all easy, addresses above 512TB are handled with IR/DR=1 and with
stack frame setup.

The mmu_context_t is also updated to track the new extended_ids. To
support upto 4PB we need a total 8 contexts.

9d2a4d7133 powerpc: Define set_thread_uses_vas()
A CP_ABORT instruction is required in processes that have mapped a VAS
"paste address" with the intention of using COPY/PASTE instructions.
But since CP_ABORT is expensive, we want to restrict it to only
processes that use/intend to use COPY/PASTE.

Define an interface, set_thread_uses_vas(), that VAS can use to
indicate that the current process opened a send window. During context
switch, issue CP_ABORT only for processes that have the flag set.

Thanks for input from Nick Piggin, Michael Ellerman.

61baf15555 powerpc/64e: Don't place the stack beyond TASK_SIZE
Commit f4ea6dcb08 ("powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TB") increased
the task size on book3s, and introduced a mechanism to dynamically
control whether a task uses these larger addresses.  While the change to
the task size itself was ifdef-protected to only apply on book3s, the
change to STACK_TOP_USER64 was not.  On book3e, this had the effect of
trying to use addresses up to 128TiB for the stack despite a 64TiB task
size limit -- which broke 64-bit userspace producing the following errors:

Starting init: /sbin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -14)
Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn't execute it (error -14)
Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/admin-guide/init.rst for guidance.

f4ea6dcb08 powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TB
Not all user space application is ready to handle wide addresses. It's
known that at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to
encode their information. It collides with valid pointers with 512TB
addresses and leads to crashes.

To mitigate this, we are not going to allocate virtual address space
above 128TB by default.

But userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by
specifying hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 128TB.

If hint address set above 128TB, but MAP_FIXED is not specified, we try
to look for unmapped area by specified address. If it's already
occupied, we look for unmapped area in *full* address space, rather than
from 128TB window.

This approach helps to easily make application's memory allocator aware
about large address space without manually tracking allocated virtual
address space.

This is going to be a per mmap decision. ie, we can have some mmaps with
larger addresses and other that do not.

A sample memory layout looks like:

f6eedbba7a powerpc/mm/hash: Increase VA range to 128TB
We update the hash linux page table layout such that we can support
512TB. But we limit the TASK_SIZE to 128TB. We can switch to 128TB by
default without conditional because that is the max virtual address
supported by other architectures. We will later add a mechanism to
on-demand increase the application's effective address range to 512TB.

Having the page table layout changed to accommodate 512TB makes testing
large memory configuration easier with less code changes to kernel

09206b600c powernv: Pass PSSCR value and mask to power9_idle_stop
The power9_idle_stop method currently takes only the requested stop
level as a parameter and picks up the rest of the PSSCR bits from a
hand-coded macro. This is not a very flexible design, especially when
the firmware has the capability to communicate the psscr value and the
mask associated with a particular stop state via device tree.

This patch modifies the power9_idle_stop API to take as parameters the
PSSCR value and the PSSCR mask corresponding to the stop state that
needs to be set. These PSSCR value and mask are respectively obtained
by parsing the "ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr" and
"ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr-mask" fields from the device tree.

In addition to this, the patch adds support for handling stop states
for which ESL and EC bits in the PSSCR are zero. As per the
architecture, a wakeup from these stop states resumes execution from
the subsequent instruction as opposed to waking up at the System
Vector.

The older firmware sets only the Requested Level (RL) field in the
psscr and psscr-mask exposed in the device tree. For older firmware
where psscr-mask=0xf, this patch will set the default sane values that
the set for for remaining PSSCR fields (i.e PSLL, MTL, ESL, EC, and
TR). For the new firmware, the patch will validate that the invariants
required by the ISA for the psscr values are maintained by the
firmware.

This skiboot patch that exports fully populated PSSCR values and the
mask for all the stop states can be found here:
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/skiboot/2016-September/004869.html

[Optimize the number of instructions before entering STOP with
ESL=EC=0, validate the PSSCR values provided by the firimware
maintains the invariants required as per the ISA suggested by Balbir
Singh]

79ab11cdb9 locking/core: Introduce cpu_relax_yield()
For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
"cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.

29a969b764 powerpc: Revert Load Monitor Register Support
Load monitored is no longer supported on POWER9 so let's remove the
code.

This reverts commit bd3ea317fd ("powerpc: Load Monitor Register
Support").
