Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights:

   - Enable support for memory protection keys aka "pkeys" on Power7/8/9
     when using the hash table MMU.

   - Extend our interrupt soft masking to support masking PMU interrupts
     as well as "normal" interrupts, and then use that to implement
     local_t for a ~4x speedup vs the current atomics-based
     implementation.

   - A new driver "ocxl" for "Open Coherent Accelerator Processor
     Interface (OpenCAPI)" devices.

   - Support for new device tree properties on PowerVM to describe
     hotpluggable memory and devices.

   - Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 64-bit
     VDSO.

   - Freescale updates from Scott: fixes for CPM GPIO and an FSL PCI
     erratum workaround, plus a minor cleanup patch.

  As well as quite a lot of other changes all over the place, and small
  fixes and cleanups as always.

Some of the functions done by the generic driver should also be needed
by other opencapi drivers: attaching a context to an adapter,
translation fault handling, AFU interrupt allocation...

So to avoid code duplication, the driver provides a kernel API that
other drivers can use, similar to calling a in-kernel library.

It is still a bit theoretical, for lack of real hardware, and will
likely need adjustements down the road. But we used the cxlflash
driver as a guinea pig.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Capture actag information for the device</title>

<content type='text'>
In the opencapi protocol, host memory contexts are referenced by a
'actag'. During setup, a driver must tell the device how many actags
it can used, and what values are acceptable.

On POWER9, the NPU can handle 64 actags per link, so they must be
shared between all the PCI functions of the link. To get a global
picture of how many actags are used by each AFU of every function, we
capture some data at the end of PCI enumeration, so that actags can be
shared fairly if needed.

This is not powernv specific per say, but rather a consequence of the
opencapi configuration specification being quite general. The number
of available actags on POWER9 makes it more likely to be hit. This is
somewhat mitigated by the fact that existing AFUs are coded by
requesting a reasonable count of actags and existing devices carry
only one AFU.

<content type='text'>
This patch exports a in-kernel 'library' API which can be called by
other drivers to help interacting with an IBM XSL on a POWER9 system.

The XSL (Translation Service Layer) is a stripped down version of the
PSL (Power Service Layer) used in some cards such as the Mellanox CX5.
Like the PSL, it implements the CAIA architecture, but has a number
of differences, mostly in it's implementation dependent registers.

The XSL also uses a special DMA cxl mode, which uses a slightly
different init sequence for the CAPP and PHB.

In 4-bit mode, 8-bit commands and data are written using two raw writes
to the data interface: high nibble first, low nibble last.  This must be
handled by the low-level driver.

However, as we don't know in which mode (4-bit or 8-bit) nor 4-bit phase
the LCD was left, initialization must always be handled using raw
writes, and needs to configure the LCD for 8-bit mode first.

Extract the character LCD core from the Parallel port LCD/Keypad Panel
driver in the misc subsystem, and convert it into a subdriver in the
auxdisplay subsystem.  This allows the character LCD core to be used by
other drivers later.

Compilation is controlled by its own Kconfig symbol CHARLCD, which is to
be selected by its users, but can be enabled manually for
compile-testing.

All functions changed their prefix from "lcd_" to "charlcd_", and gained
a "struct charlcd *" parameter to operate on a specific instance.
While the driver API thus is ready to support multiple instances, the
current limitation of a single display (/dev/lcd has a single misc minor
assigned) is retained.

No functional changes intended.

<title>cxl: Add cxl_check_and_switch_mode() API to switch bi-modal cards</title>

<id>b0b5e5918ad1babfd1d43d98c7281926a7b57b9f</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new API, cxl_check_and_switch_mode() to allow for switching of
bi-modal CAPI cards, such as the Mellanox CX-4 network card.

When a driver requests to switch a card to CAPI mode, use PCI hotplug
infrastructure to remove all PCI devices underneath the slot. We then write
an updated mode control register to the CAPI VSEC, hot reset the card, and
reprobe the card.

As the card may present a different set of PCI devices after the mode
switch, use the infrastructure provided by the pnv_php driver and the OPAL
PCI slot management facilities to ensure that:

  * the old devices are removed from both the OPAL and Linux device trees
  * the new devices are probed by OPAL and added to the OPAL device tree
  * the new devices are added to the Linux device tree and probed through
    the regular PCI device probe path

As such, introduce a new option, CONFIG_CXL_BIMODAL, with a dependency on
the pnv_php driver.

Refactor existing code that touches the mode control register in the
regular single mode case into a new function, setup_cxl_protocol_area().

<title>cxl: Add support for interrupts on the Mellanox CX4</title>

<id>a2f67d5ee8d950caaa7a6144cf0bfb256500b73e</id>
<content type='text'>
The Mellanox CX4 in cxl mode uses a hybrid interrupt model, where
interrupts are routed from the networking hardware to the XSL using the
MSIX table, and from there will be transformed back into an MSIX
interrupt using the cxl style interrupts (i.e. using IVTE entries and
ranges to map a PE and AFU interrupt number to an MSIX address).

We want to hide the implementation details of cxl interrupts as much as
possible. To this end, we use a special version of the MSI setup &amp;
teardown routines in the PHB while in cxl mode to allocate the cxl
interrupts and configure the IVTE entries in the process element.

This function does not configure the MSIX table - the CX4 card uses a
custom format in that table and it would not be appropriate to fill that
out in generic code. The rest of the functionality is similar to the
"Full MSI-X mode" described in the CAIA, and this could be easily
extended to support other adapters that use that mode in the future.

The interrupts will be associated with the default context. If the
maximum number of interrupts per context has been limited (e.g. by the
mlx5 driver), it will automatically allocate additional kernel contexts
to associate extra interrupts as required. These contexts will be
started using the same WED that was used to start the default context.

The Mellanox CX4 in cxl mode uses a hybrid interrupt model, where
interrupts are routed from the networking hardware to the XSL using the
MSIX table, and from there will be transformed back into an MSIX
interrupt using the cxl style interrupts (i.e. using IVTE entries and
ranges to map a PE and AFU interrupt number to an MSIX address).

<title>cxl: Add preliminary workaround for CX4 interrupt limitation</title>

The Mellanox CX4 has a hardware limitation where only 4 bits of the
AFU interrupt number can be passed to the XSL when sending an interrupt,
limiting it to only 15 interrupts per context (AFU interrupt number 0 is
invalid).

In order to overcome this, we will allocate additional contexts linked
to the default context as extra address space for the extra interrupts -
this will be implemented in the next patch.

This patch adds the preliminary support to allow this, by way of adding
a linked list in the context structure that we use to keep track of the
contexts dedicated to interrupts, and an API to simultaneously iterate
over the related context structures, AFU interrupt numbers and hardware
interrupt numbers. The point of using a single API to iterate these is
to hide some of the details of the iteration from external code, and to
reduce the number of APIs that need to be exported via base.c to allow
built in code to call.
