Radix flushes the TLB when updating ptes to increase permissiveness
of protection (increase access authority). Book3S does not require
TLB flushing in this case, and it is not done on hash. This patch
avoids the flush for radix.
>From Power ISA v3.0B, p.1090:
Setting a Reference or Change Bit or Upgrading Access Authority
(PTE Subject to Atomic Hardware Updates)
If the only change being made to a valid PTE that is subject to
atomic hardware updates is to set the Reference or Change bit to 1
or to add access authorities, a simpler sequence suffices because
the translation hardware will refetch the PTE if an access is
attempted for which the only problems were reference and/or change
bits needing to be set or insufficient access authority.
The nest MMU on POWER9 does not re-fetch the PTE after such an access
attempt before faulting, so address spaces with a coprocessor
attached will continue to flush in these cases.
This reduces tlbies for a kernel compile workload from 1.28M to 0.95M,
tlbiels from 20.17M 19.68M.
fork --fork --exec benchmark improved 2.77% (12000->12300).

When relaxing access (read -> read_write update), pte needs to be marked invalid
to handle a nest MMU bug. We also need to do a tlb flush after the pte is
marked invalid before updating the pte with new access bits.
We also move tlb flush to platform specific __ptep_set_access_flags. This will
help us to gerid of unnecessary tlb flush on BOOK3S 64 later. We don't do that
in this patch. This also helps in avoiding multiple tlbies with coprocessor

Using irq_work for processing OPAL event interrupts is not necessary.
irq_work is typically used to schedule work from NMI context, a
softirq may be more appropriate. However OPAL events are not
particularly performance or latency critical, so they can all be
invoked by kopald.
This patch removes the irq_work queueing, and instead wakes up
kopald when there is an event to be processed. kopald processes
interrupts individually, enabling irqs and calling cond_resched
between each one to minimise latencies.
Event handlers themselves should still use threaded handlers,
workqueues, etc. as necessary to avoid high interrupts-off latencies
within any single interrupt.

Although it is often possible to recover a CPU that was interrupted
from OPAL with a system reset NMI, it's undesirable to interrupt them
for a few reasons. Firstly because dump/debug code itself needs to
call firmware, so it could hang on a lock or possibly corrupt a
per-cpu data structure if it or another CPU was interrupted from
OPAL. Secondly, the kexec crash dump code will not return from
interrupt to unwind the OPAL call.
Call OPAL_QUIESCE with QUIESCE_HOLD before sending an NMI IPI to
another CPU, which wait for it to leave firmware (or time out) to
avoid this problem in normal conditions. Firmware bugs may still
result in a timeout and interrupting OPAL, but that is the best
option (stops the CPU, and possibly allows firmware to be debugged).

Large decrementers (e.g., POWER9) can take a very long time to wrap,
so when the timer iterrupt handler sets the decrementer to max so as
to avoid taking another decrementer interrupt when hard enabling
interrupts before running timers, it effectively disables the soft
NMI coverage for timer interrupts.
Fix this by using the traditional 31-bit value instead, which wraps
after a few seconds. masked interrupt code does the same thing, and
in normal operation neither of these paths would ever wrap even the
31 bit value.
Note: the SMP watchdog should catch timer interrupt lockups, but it
is preferable for the local soft-NMI to catch them, mainly to avoid
the IPI.

The broadcast tick recipient can call tick_receive_broadcast rather
than re-running the full timer interrupt.
It does not have to check for the next event time, because the sender
already determined the timer has expired. It does not have to test
irq_work_pending, because that's a direct decrementer interrupt and
does not go through the clock events subsystem. And it does not have
to read PURR because that was removed with the previous patch.
This results in no code size change, but both the decrementer and
broadcast path lengths are reduced.

For SPLPAR, lparcfg provides a sum of PURR registers for all CPUs.
Currently this is done by reading PURR in context switch and timer
interrupt, and storing that into a per-CPU variable. These are summed
to provide the value.
This does not work with all timer schemes (e.g., NO_HZ_FULL), and it
is sub-optimal for performance because it reads the PURR register on
every context switch, although that's been difficult to distinguish
from noise in the contxt_switch microbenchmark.
This patch implements the sum by calling a function on each CPU, to
read and add PURR values of each CPU.

<...>-550 90d... 10us : cpuacct_charge <-update_curr_rt
The soft_nmi_interrupt here is the call into the watchdog, due to the
decrementer interrupt firing with irqs soft-disabled. This is
harmless, but sub-optimal.
When it's not called from NMI context or with interrupts enabled, mark
the decrementer pending in the irq_happened mask directly, rather than
having the masked decrementer interupt handler do it. This will be
replayed at the next local_irq_enable. See the comment for details.

Some 64-bit toolchains uses the wrong ISA variant for compiling 32-bit
kernels, even with -m32. Debian's powerpc64le is one such case, and
that is because it is built with --with-cpu=power8.
So when cross compiling a 32-bit kernel with a 64-bit toolchain, set
-mcpu=powerpc initially, which is the generic 32-bit powerpc machine
type and scheduling model. CPU and platform code can override this
with subsequent -mcpu flags if necessary.
This is not done for 32-bit toolchains otherwise it would override
their defaults, which are presumably set appropriately for the
environment (moreso than a 64-bit cross compiler).
This fixes a lot of build failures due to incompatible assembly when
compiling 32-bit kernel with the Debian powerpc64le 64-bit toolchain.
