Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Slightly delayed due to the issue with printk() calling
probe_kernel_read() interacting with our new user access prevention
stuff, but all fixed now.
The only out-of-area changes are the addition of a cpuhp_state, small
additions to Documentation and MAINTAINERS updates.
Highlights:
- Support for Kernel Userspace Access/Execution Prevention (like
SMAP/SMEP/PAN/PXN) on some 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs. This prevents
the kernel from accidentally accessing userspace outside
copy_to/from_user(), or ever executing userspace.
- KASAN support on 32-bit.
- Rework of where we map the kernel, vmalloc, etc. on 64-bit hash to
use the same address ranges we use with the Radix MMU.
- A rewrite into C of large parts of our idle handling code for
64-bit Book3S (ie. power8 & power9).
- A fast path entry for syscalls on 32-bit CPUs, for a 12-17% speedup
in the null_syscall benchmark.
- On 64-bit bare metal we have support for recovering from errors
with the time base (our clocksource), however if that fails
currently we hang in __delay() and never crash. We now have support
for detecting that case and short circuiting __delay() so we at
least panic() and reboot.
- Add support for optionally enabling the DAWR on Power9, which had
to be disabled by default due to a hardware erratum. This has the
effect of enabling hardware breakpoints for GDB, the downside is a
badly behaved program could crash the machine by pointing the DAWR
at cache inhibited memory. This is opt-in obviously.
- xmon, our crash handler, gets support for a read only mode where
operations that could change memory or otherwise disturb the system
are disabled.
Plus many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

Joel reported weird crashes using skiroot_defconfig, in his case we
jumped into an NX page:
kernel tried to execute exec-protected page (c000000002bff4f0) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
BUG: Unable to handle kernel instruction fetch
Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000002bff4f0
Looking at the disassembly, we had simply branched to that address:
c000000000c001bc 49fff335 bl c000000002bff4f0
But that didn't match the original kernel image:
c000000000c001bc 4bfff335 bl c000000000bff4f0 <kobject_get+0x8>
When STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is enabled, and we're using the radix MMU, we
call radix__change_memory_range() late in boot to change page
protections. We do that both to mark rodata read only and also to mark
init text no-execute. That involves walking the kernel page tables,
and clearing _PAGE_WRITE or _PAGE_EXEC respectively.
With radix we may use hugepages for the linear mapping, so the code in
radix__change_memory_range() uses eg. pmd_huge() to test if it has
found a huge mapping, and if so it stops the page table walk and
changes the PMD permissions.
However if the kernel is built without HUGETLBFS support, pmd_huge()
is just a #define that always returns 0. That causes the code in
radix__change_memory_range() to incorrectly interpret the PMD value as
a pointer to a PTE page rather than as a PTE at the PMD level.
We can see this using `dv` in xmon which also uses pmd_huge():
0:mon> dv c000000000000000
pgd @ 0xc000000001740000
pgdp @ 0xc000000001740000 = 0x80000000ffffb009
pudp @ 0xc0000000ffffb000 = 0x80000000ffffa009
pmdp @ 0xc0000000ffffa000 = 0xc00000000000018f <- this is a PTE
ptep @ 0xc000000000000100 = 0xa64bb17da64ab07d <- kernel text
The end result is we treat the value at 0xc000000000000100 as a PTE
and clear _PAGE_WRITE or _PAGE_EXEC, potentially corrupting the code
at that address.
In Joel's specific case we cleared the sign bit in the offset of the
branch, causing a backward branch to turn into a forward branch which
caused us to branch into a non-executable page. However the exact
nature of the crash depends on kernel version, compiler version, and
other factors.
We need to fix radix__change_memory_range() to not use accessors that
depend on HUGETLBFS, but we also have radix memory hotplug code that
uses pmd_huge() etc that will also need fixing. So for now just
disallow the broken combination of Radix with HUGETLBFS disabled.
The only defconfig we have that is affected is skiroot_defconfig, so
turn on HUGETLBFS there so that it still gets Radix.
