mainlining shenanigans

This adds a CPU feature bit which is set for POWER9 "Nimbus" DD2.2 processors which will be used to enable the hypervisor to assist hardware with the handling of checkpointed register values while the CPU is in suspend state, in order to work around hardware bugs. The hardware assistance for these workarounds introduced a new hardware bug relating to the XER[SO] bit. We add a separate feature bit for this bug in case future chips fix it while still requiring the hypervisor assistance with suspend state. When the dt_cpu_ftrs subsystem is in use, the software assistance can be enabled using a "tm-suspend-hypervisor-assist" node in the device tree, and a "tm-suspend-xer-so-bug" node enables the workarounds for the XER[SO] bug. In the absence of such nodes, a quirk enables both for POWER9 "Nimbus" DD2.2 processors. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
