ISA 3.1B introduces the Dynamic Execution Control Register (DEXCR). It
is a per-cpu register that allows control over various CPU behaviours
including branch hint usage, indirect branch speculation, and
hashst/hashchk support.
Add some definitions and basic support for the DEXCR in the kernel.
Right now it just
* Initialises the DEXCR and HASHKEYR to a fixed value when a CPU
onlines.
* Clears them in reset_sprs().
* Detects when the NPHIE aspect is supported (the others don't get
looked at in this series, so there's no need to waste a CPU_FTR
on them).
We initialise the HASHKEYR to ensure that all cores have the same key,
so an HV enforced NPHIE + swapping cores doesn't randomly crash a
process using hash instructions. The stores to HASHKEYR are
unconditional because the ISA makes no mention of the SPR being missing
if support for doing the hashes isn't present. So all that would happen
is the HASHKEYR value gets ignored. This helps slightly if NPHIE
detection fails; e.g., we currently only detect it on pseries.

KVM PMU management code looks for particular frozen/disabled bits in
the PMU registers so it knows whether it must clear them when coming
out of a guest or not. Setting this up helps KVM make these optimisations
without getting confused. Longer term the better approach might be to
move guest/host PMU switching to the perf subsystem.

This register controls supervisor SPR modifications, and as such is only
relevant for KVM. KVM always sets AMOR to ~0 on guest entry, and never
restores it coming back out to the host, so it can be kept constant and
avoid the mtSPR in KVM guest entry.

PowerISA v3.1 introduces new control bit (PMCCEXT) for restricting
access to group B PMU registers in problem state when
MMCR0 PMCC=0b00. In problem state and when MMCR0 PMCC=0b00,
setting the Monitor Mode Control Register bit 54 (MMCR0 PMCCEXT),
will restrict read permission on Group B Performance Monitor
Registers (SIER, SIAR, SDAR and MMCR1). When this bit is set to zero,
group B registers will be readable. In other platforms (like power9),
the older behaviour is retained where group B PMU SPRs are readable.
Patch adds support for MMCR0 PMCCEXT bit in power10 by enabling
this bit during boot and during the PMU event enable/disable callback
functions.

The only thing keeping the cpu_setup() and cpu_restore() functions
used in the cputable entries for Power7, Power8, Power9 and Power10 in
assembly was cpu_restore() being called before there was a stack in
generic_secondary_smp_init(). Commit ("powerpc/64: Set up a kernel
stack for secondaries before cpu_restore()") means that it is now
possible to use C.
Rewrite the functions in C so they are a little bit easier to read.
This is not changing their functionality.
