Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights include:

   - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we
     use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access
     to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap().

   - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.

   - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.

   - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
     Interface Architecture 2.0".

   - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
     runtime.

   - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
     support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.

   - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
     correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
     using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
     aid debugging and robustness.

   - Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

2db2c250dd selftests/powerpc: Fix standalone powerpc build
The changes to enable building with a separate output directory, in
commit a8ba798bc8 ("selftests: enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT") broke
building the powerpc selftests on their own, eg:

 $ cd tools/testing/selftests/powerpc; make

It was partially fixed in commit e53aff45c4 ("selftests: lib.mk Fix
individual test builds"), which defined OUTPUT for standalone tests. But
that only defines OUTPUT within the Makefile, the value is not exported
so sub-shells can't see it. We could export OUTPUT, but it's actually
cleaner to just expand the value of OUTPUT before we invoke the shell.

438517ec78 selftests/powerpc: Test cp_abort during context switch
Test that performing a copy paste sequence in userspace on P9 does not
result in a leak of the copy into the paste of another process.

This is based on Anton Blanchard's context_switch benchmarking code. It
sets up two processes tied to the same CPU, one which copies and one
which pastes.

The paste should never succeed and the test fails if it does.

This is a test for commit, "8a64904 powerpc: Add support for userspace
P9 copy paste."

a4cf0a2e1d selftests/powerpc: Remove -flto from common CFLAGS
LTO can cause GCC to inline some functions which have attributes set.
The act of inlining the functions can lead to GCC forgetting about the
attributes which leads to incorrect tests.

Notable example being: __attribute__((__target__("no-vsx")))

LTO can also interact strangely with custom assembly functions and cause
tests to intermittently fail.

Both these cases are hard to detect and require manual inspection of
binaries which is unlikely to happen for all tests. Furthermore, LTO
optimisations are not necessary for selftests and correctness is
paramount and as such it is best to disable LTO.

LTO can be enabled on a per test basis.

A pseries_le_defconfig kernel on a POWER8 was used to determine that the
same subset of selftests pass and fail with and without -flto in the
common Makefile.

This adds a test of the switch_endian() syscall we added in the previous
commit.

We test it by calling the endian switch syscall, and then executing some
code in the other endian to check everything went as expected. That code
checks registers we expect to be maintained are. If the endian switch
failed to happen that code sequence will be illegal and cause the test
to abort.

We then switch back to the original endian, do the same checks and
finally write a success message and exit(0).

cbfd7dab2d selftests/powerpc: Don't ignore errors from sub Makefiles
Currently we ignore errors from our sub Makefiles. We inherited that
from the top-level selftests Makefile which aims to build and run as
many tests as possible and damn the torpedoes.

For the powerpc tests we'd instead like any errors to fail the build, so
we can automatically catch build failures.

We can achieve the best of both worlds by using -k, which tells make to
keep building when it hits an error, but still reports the error.

96d0161086 powerpc: Correct DSCR during TM context switch
Correct the DSCR SPR becoming temporarily corrupted if a task is
context switched during a transaction.

The problem occurs while suspending the task and is caused by saving
the DSCR to thread.dscr after it has already been set to the CPU's
default value:

__switch_to() calls __switch_to_tm()
	which calls tm_reclaim_task()
	which calls tm_reclaim_thread()
	which calls tm_reclaim()
		where the DSCR is set to the CPU's default
__switch_to() calls _switch()
		where thread.dscr is set to the DSCR

When the task is resumed, it's transaction will be doomed (as usual)
and the DSCR SPR will be corrupted, although the checkpointed value
will be correct. Therefore the DSCR will be immediately corrected by
the transaction aborting, unless it has been suspended. In that case
the incorrect value can be seen by the task until it resumes the
transaction.

The fix is to treat the DSCR similarly to the TAR and save it early
in __switch_to().

A program exposing the problem is added to the kernel self tests as:
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-resched-dscr.

22d651dcef selftests/powerpc: Import Anton's memcpy / copy_tofrom_user tests
Turn Anton's memcpy / copy_tofrom_user test into something that can
live in tools/testing/selftests.

It requires one turd in arch/powerpc/lib/memcpy_64.S, but it's pretty
harmless IMHO.

We are sailing very close to the wind with the feature macros. We define
them to nothing, which currently means we get a few extra nops and
include the unaligned calls.

cb96143def selftests: Add test of PMU instruction counting on powerpc
This commit adds a test of instruction counting using the PMU on powerpc.

Although the bulk of the code is architecture agnostic, the code needs to
run a precisely sized loop which is implemented in assembler.

0e56dacdda selftests: Add infrastructure for powerpc selftests
This commit adds a powerpc subdirectory to tools/testing/selftests,
for tests that are powerpc specific.

On other architectures nothing is built. The makefile supports cross
compilation if the user sets ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE.
