There is a typo in f1cb8f9beb ("powerpc/64s/radix: avoid ptesync after
set_pte and ptep_set_access_flags") config ifdef, which results in the
necessary ptesync not being issued after vmalloc.
This causes random kernel faults in module load, bpf load, anywhere
that vmalloc mappings are used.
After correcting the code, this survives a guest kernel booting
hundreds of times where previously there would be a crash every few
boots (I haven't noticed the crash on host, perhaps due to different
TLB and page table walking behaviour in hardware).
A memory clobber is also added to the flush, just to be sure it won't
be reordered with the pte set or the subsequent mapping access.

The ISA suggests ptesync after setting a pte, to prevent a table walk
initiated by a subsequent access from missing that store and causing a
spurious fault. This is an architectual allowance that allows an
implementation's page table walker to be incoherent with the store
queue.
However there is no correctness problem in taking a spurious fault in
userspace -- the kernel copes with these at any time, so the updated
pte will be found eventually. Spurious kernel faults on vmap memory
must be avoided, so a ptesync is put into flush_cache_vmap.
On POWER9 so far I have not found a measurable window where this can
result in more minor faults, so as an optimisation, remove the costly
ptesync from pte updates. If an implementation benefits from ptesync,
it would be better to add it back in update_mmu_cache, so it's not
done for things like fork(2).
fork --fork --exec benchmark improved 5.2% (12400->13100).

The flush_dcache_phys_range() function is no longer used in the
kernel. The last usage was removed in c40785ad305b ("powerpc/dart: Use
a cachable DART").
This patch removes the function and declaration.

We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement
this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h.
Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the
problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then
cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs
reg.h (for MSR_EE).
So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

flush/clean/invalidate _dcache_range() functions are all very
similar and are quite short. They are mainly used in __dma_sync()
perf_event locate them in the top 3 consumming functions during
heavy ethernet activity
They are good candidate for inlining, as __dma_sync() does
almost nothing but calling them

Various e500 core have different cache architecture, so they
need different cache flush operations. Therefore, add a callback
function cpu_flush_caches to the struct cpu_spec. The cache flush
operation for the specific kind of e500 is selected at init time.
The callback function will flush all caches inside the current cpu.

__flush_dcache_icache_phys() requires the ability to access the
memory with the MMU disabled, which means that on a 32-bit system
any memory above 4 GiB is inaccessible. In particular, mpc86xx is
32-bit and can have more than 4 GiB of RAM.

Kim Phillips reported following build failure.
LD init/built-in.o
mm/built-in.o: In function `free_pages_prepare':
mm/page_alloc.c:770: undefined reference to `.kernel_map_pages'
mm/built-in.o: In function `prep_new_page':

mm/built-in.o: In function `map_pages':
mm/compaction.c:61: undefined reference to `.kernel_map_pages'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
Reason for this problem is that commit 031bc5743f15
("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable")
forgot to remove the old declaration of kernel_map_pages() for some
architectures. This patch removes them to fix build failure.

And now the function flush_icache_range() is just a wrapper which
only invoke the function __flush_icache_range() directly. So we
don't have reason to keep it anymore.

In function flush_icache_range(), we use cpu_has_feature() to test
the feature bit of CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE. But this seems not optimal
for two reasons:
a) For ppc32, the function __flush_icache_range() already do this
check with the macro END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET.
b) Compare with the cpu_has_feature(), the method of using macro
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET will not introduce any runtime overhead.

Add support to disable and re-enable individual cores at runtime on
MPC85xx/QorIQ SMP machines. Currently support e500v1/e500v2 core.
MPC85xx machines use ePAPR spin-table in boot page for CPU kick-off. This
patch uses the boot page from bootloader to boot core at runtime. It
supports 32-bit and 36-bit physical address.

Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request. So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this.
The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.
See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
