[ Upstream commit 35f20786c481d5ced9283ff42de5c69b65e5ed13 ]

arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o is built with '-msoft-float' (from the main
powerpc Makefile) and '-maltivec' (from its CFLAGS), which causes an
error when building with clang after a recent change in main:

  error: option '-msoft-float' cannot be specified with '-maltivec'
  make[6]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:243: arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o] Error 1

Explicitly add '-mhard-float' before '-maltivec' in xor_vmx.o's CFLAGS
to override the previous inclusion of '-msoft-float' (as the last option
wins), which matches how other areas of the kernel use '-maltivec', such
as AMDGPU.

<title>powerpc/fsl: Fix mfpmr build errors with newer binutils</title>

<id>urn:sha1:acccc550a024d75c6f487f942c9b4169484752d0</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 5f491356b7149564ab22323ccce79c8d595bfd0c ]

Binutils 2.38 complains about the use of mfpmr when building
ppc6xx_defconfig:

    CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/pmc.o
  {standard input}: Assembler messages:
  {standard input}:45: Error: unrecognized opcode: `mfpmr'
  {standard input}:56: Error: unrecognized opcode: `mtpmr'

This is because by default the kernel is built with -mcpu=powerpc, and
the mt/mfpmr instructions are not defined.

It can be avoided by enabling CONFIG_E300C3_CPU, but just adding that to
the defconfig will leave open the possibility of randconfig failures.

So add machine directives around the mt/mfpmr instructions to tell
binutils how to assemble them.

If nr_cpu_ids is too low to include the boot CPU adjust nr_cpu_ids
upward. Otherwise the kernel will BUG when trying to allocate a paca
for the boot CPU and fail to boot.

If nr_cpu_ids is too low to include at least all the threads of a single
core adjust nr_cpu_ids upwards. This avoids triggering odd bugs in code
that assumes all threads of a core are available.

Running event hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/
in one of the system throws below error:

The above error is because of the hcall failure as required
permission "Enable Performance Information Collection" is not set.
Based on current code, single_gpci_request function did not check the
error type incase hcall fails and by default returns EINVAL. But we can
have other reasons for hcall failures like H_AUTHORITY/H_PARAMETER with
detail_rc as GEN_BUF_TOO_SMALL, for which we need to act accordingly.

Fix this issue by adding new checks in the single_gpci_request and
h_gpci_event_init functions.

Result after fix patch changes:

 # perf stat -e hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ sleep 2
Error:
No permission to enable hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=0/ event.
