git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc into HEAD
The main thing here is a new implementation of the in-kernel
XICS interrupt controller emulation for POWER9 machines, from Ben
Herrenschmidt.
POWER9 has a new interrupt controller called XIVE (eXternal Interrupt
Virtualization Engine) which is able to deliver interrupts directly
to guest virtual CPUs in hardware without hypervisor intervention.
With this new code, the guest still sees the old XICS interface but
performance is better because the XICS emulation in the host uses the
XIVE directly rather than going through a XICS emulation in firmware.
Conflicts:
arch/powerpc/kernel/cpu_setup_power.S [cherry-picked fix]
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_xive.c [include asm/debugfs.h]

This patch makes KVM capable of using the XIVE interrupt controller
to provide the standard PAPR "XICS" style hypercalls. It is necessary
for proper operations when the host uses XIVE natively.
This has been lightly tested on an actual system, including PCI
pass-through with a TG3 device.

[mpe: Cleanup pr_xxx(), unsplit pr_xxx() strings, etc., fix build
failures by adding KVM_XIVE which depends on KVM_XICS and XIVE, and
adding empty stubs for the kvm_xive_xxx() routines, fixup subject,
integrate fixes from Paul for building PR=y HV=n]

Change the doorbell callers to know about their msgsnd addressing,
rather than have them set a per-cpu target data tag at boot that gets
sent to the cause_ipi functions. The data is only used for doorbell IPI
functions, no other IPI types, so it makes sense to keep that detail
local to doorbell.
Have the platform code understand doorbell IPIs, rather than the
interrupt controller code understand them. Platform code can look at
capabilities it has available and decide which to use.

The XIVE interrupt controller is the new interrupt controller
found in POWER9. It supports advanced virtualization capabilities
among other things.
Currently we use a set of firmware calls that simulate the old
"XICS" interrupt controller but this is fairly inefficient.
This adds the framework for using XIVE along with a native
backend which OPAL for configuration. Later, a backend allowing
the use in a KVM or PowerVM guest will also be provided.
This disables some fast path for interrupts in KVM when XIVE is
enabled as these rely on the firmware emulation code which is no
longer available when the XIVE is used natively by Linux.
A latter patch will make KVM also directly exploit the XIVE, thus
recovering the lost performance (and more).

[mpe: Fixup pr_xxx("XIVE:"...), don't split pr_xxx() strings,
tweak Kconfig so XIVE_NATIVE selects XIVE and depends on POWERNV,
fix build errors when SMP=n, fold in fixes from Ben:
Don't call cpu_online() on an invalid CPU number
Fix irq target selection returning out of bounds cpu#
Extra sanity checks on cpu numbers
