The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
* Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
* Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
* My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded
prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the
respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although
the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have
been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to
just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details
on this pull request.
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new
struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all
types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new
one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each
one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the
future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes
they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory
areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the
merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle
of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found
for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by
using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific
dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area
is active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin
or tristate.conf"). Nick has been working on this *for years* and
AFAICT I was the only one to suggest two alternatives to this approach
for tooling. The complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in
that we'd need a possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check
if the object being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever
lead to it being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0]. A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've
suggested would be to have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as well but that means getting kconfig symbol names
mapping to modules always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am
not aware of Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite
recently Josh Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and
BPF would benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as
well but for other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr)
patches were mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has
been dropped with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could never
be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up,
and so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull
requests for this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after
rc3. LWN has good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and
the typical cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only
concrete blocker issue he ran into was that we should not remove the
MODULE_LICENSE() tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if
they can never be modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due
to having to do this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who
really did *not understand* the core of the issue nor were providing
any alternative / guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped
the patches which dropped the module license tags where an SPDX
license tag was missing, it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see
if a pull request deals with a file which lacks SPDX tags you
can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above,
but that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but
it demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees,
and I just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out.
Those changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on
a systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running
out of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only
consists of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is
already present and ready", proving that this was the best we can
do on the modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been
in linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final
fix for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported
with larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking
a bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge them,
but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this

Merge tag 'modules-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
- Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
- Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
- My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior
to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective
debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the
functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to
have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will
want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details:
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a
new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put
together all types of supported module memory types in one data
structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a
module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This
paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way.
If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we
handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been
in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to
provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as
quite a bit of fixes have been found for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user
by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module
specific dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is
active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf").
Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only
one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The
complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a
possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object
being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it
being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0].
A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to
have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as
well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules
always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of
Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh
Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would
benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for
other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were
mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped
with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could
never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and
so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for
this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has
good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical
cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker
issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE()
tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be
modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do
this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not
understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative /
guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which
dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing,
it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a
file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but
that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it
demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I
just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those
changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a
systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out
of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists
of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already
present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the
modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in
linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix
for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with
larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a
bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge
them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead"

Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in
the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct
class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes.
This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for
all busses and classes in the kernel.
The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of
them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
things:
- kobject logging improvements
- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems.

- Improve the VDSO build time checks to cover all dynamic relocations
VDSO does not allow dynamic relcations, but the build time check is
incomplete and fragile.
It's based on architectures specifying the relocation types to search
for and does not handle R_*_NONE relocation entries correctly.
R_*_NONE relocations are injected by some GNU ld variants if they fail
to determine the exact .rel[a]/dyn_size to cover trailing zeros.
R_*_NONE relocations must be ignored by dynamic loaders, so they
should be ignored in the build time check too.
Remove the architecture specific relocation types to check for and
validate strictly that no other relocations than R_*_NONE end up
in the VSDO .so file.
- Prefer signal delivery to the current thread for
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID based posix-timers
Such timers prefer to deliver the signal to the main thread of a
process even if the context in which the timer expires is the current
task. This has the downside that it might wake up an idle thread.
As there is no requirement or guarantee that the signal has to be
delivered to the main thread, avoid this by preferring the current
task if it is part of the thread group which shares sighand.
This not only avoids waking idle threads, it also distributes the
signal delivery in case of multiple timers firing in the context
of different threads close to each other better.
- Align the tick period properly (again)
For a long time the tick was starting at CLOCK_MONOTONIC zero, which
allowed users space applications to either align with the tick or to
place a periodic computation so that it does not interfere with the
tick. The alignement of the tick period was more by chance than by
intention as the tick is set up before a high resolution clocksource is
installed, i.e. timekeeping is still tick based and the tick period
advances from there.
The early enablement of sched_clock() broke this alignement as the time
accumulated by sched_clock() is taken into account when timekeeping is
initialized. So the base value now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is not longer a
multiple of tick periods, which breaks applications which relied on
that behaviour.
Cure this by aligning the tick starting point to the next multiple of
tick periods, i.e 1000ms/CONFIG_HZ.
- A set of NOHZ fixes and enhancements
- Cure the concurrent writer race for idle and IO sleeptime statistics
The statitic values which are exposed via /proc/stat are updated from
the CPU local idle exit and remotely by cpufreq, but that happens
without any form of serialization. As a consequence sleeptimes can be
accounted twice or worse.
Prevent this by restricting the accumulation writeback to the CPU
local idle exit and let the remote access compute the accumulated
value.
- Protect idle/iowait sleep time with a sequence count
Reading idle/iowait sleep time, e.g. from /proc/stat, can race with
idle exit updates. As a consequence the readout may result in random
and potentially going backwards values.
Protect this by a sequence count, which fixes the idle time
statistics issue, but cannot fix the iowait time problem because
iowait time accounting races with remote wake ups decrementing the
remote runqueues nr_iowait counter. The latter is impossible to fix,
so the only way to deal with that is to document it properly and to
remove the assertion in the selftest which triggers occasionally due
to that.
- Restructure struct tick_sched for better cache layout
- Some small cleanups and a better cache layout for struct tick_sched
- Implement the missing timer_wait_running() callback for POSIX CPU timers
For unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running() callback
missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four
years.
While initially only targeted to prevent livelocks between a timer
deletion and the timer expiry function on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels, it
turned out that fixing this for mainline is not as trivial as just
implementing a stub similar to the hrtimer/timer callbacks.
The reason is that for CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled systems
there is a livelock issue independent of RT.
CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y moves the expiry of POSIX CPU timers
out from hard interrupt context to task work, which is handled before
returning to user space or to a VM. The expiry mechanism moves the
expired timers to a stack local list head with sighand lock held. Once
sighand is dropped the task can be preempted and a task which wants to
delete a timer will spin-wait until the expiry task is scheduled back
in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock when the preempting
task and the expiry task are pinned on the same CPU.
The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which uses
a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry code and the
task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks on that lock.
This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is no
timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry lock
can be used too in a slightly different way.
Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry task
hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task which
waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex.
In the non-contended case this results in an extra mutex_lock()/unlock()
pair on both sides.
This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents the
livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems.

Prevent this by restricting the accumulation writeback to the CPU
local idle exit and let the remote access compute the accumulated
value.
* Protect idle/iowait sleep time with a sequence count
Reading idle/iowait sleep time, e.g. from /proc/stat, can race
with idle exit updates. As a consequence the readout may result
in random and potentially going backwards values.
Protect this by a sequence count, which fixes the idle time
statistics issue, but cannot fix the iowait time problem because
iowait time accounting races with remote wake ups decrementing
the remote runqueues nr_iowait counter. The latter is impossible
to fix, so the only way to deal with that is to document it
properly and to remove the assertion in the selftest which
triggers occasionally due to that.

- Implement the missing timer_wait_running() callback for POSIX CPU
timers
For unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running()
callback missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for
almost four years.
While initially only targeted to prevent livelocks between a timer
deletion and the timer expiry function on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels,
it turned out that fixing this for mainline is not as trivial as just
implementing a stub similar to the hrtimer/timer callbacks.
The reason is that for CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled
systems there is a livelock issue independent of RT.
CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y moves the expiry of POSIX CPU
timers out from hard interrupt context to task work, which is handled
before returning to user space or to a VM. The expiry mechanism moves
the expired timers to a stack local list head with sighand lock held.
Once sighand is dropped the task can be preempted and a task which
wants to delete a timer will spin-wait until the expiry task is
scheduled back in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock
when the preempting task and the expiry task are pinned on the same
CPU.
The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which
uses a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry
code and the task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks
on that lock.
This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is
no timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry
lock can be used too in a slightly different way.
Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry
task hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task
which waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex.
In the non-contended case this results in an extra
mutex_lock()/unlock() pair on both sides.
This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents
the livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems

Build modules using PCREL addressing when CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PCREL=y.
- The module loader must handle several new relocation types:
* R_PPC64_REL24_NOTOC is a function call handled like R_PPC_REL24, but
does not restore r2 upon return. The external function call stub is
changed to use pcrel addressing to load the function pointer rather
than based on the module TOC.
* R_PPC64_GOT_PCREL34 is a reference to external data. A GOT table
must be built by hand, because the linker adds this during the final
link (which is not done for kernel modules). The GOT table is built
similarly to the way the external function call stub table is. This
section is called .mygot because .got has a special meaning for the
linker and can become upset.
* R_PPC64_PCREL34 is used for local data addressing, but there is a
special case where the percpu section is moved at load-time to the
percpu area which is out of range of this relocation. This requires
the PCREL34 relocations are converted to use GOT_PCREL34 addressing.

PC-Relative or PCREL addressing is an extension to the ELF ABI which
uses Power ISA v3.1 PC-relative instructions to calculate addresses,
rather than the traditional TOC scheme.
Add an option to build vmlinux using pcrel addressing. Modules continue
to use TOC addressing.
- TOC address helpers and r2 are poisoned with -1 when running vmlinux.
r2 could be used for something useful once things are ironed out.
- Assembly must call C functions with @notoc annotation, or the linker
complains aobut a missing nop after the call. This is done with the
CFUNC macro introduced earlier.
- Boot: with the exception of prom_init, the execution branches to the
kernel virtual address early in boot, before any addresses are
generated, which ensures 34-bit pcrel addressing does not miss the
high PAGE_OFFSET bits. TOC relative addressing has a similar
requirement. prom_init does not go to the virtual address and its
addresses should not carry over to the post-prom kernel.
- Ftrace trampolines are converted from TOC addressing to pcrel
addressing, including module ftrace trampolines that currently use the
kernel TOC to find ftrace target functions.
- BPF function prologue and function calling generation are converted
from TOC to pcrel.
- copypage_64.S has an interesting problem, prefixed instructions have
alignment restrictions so the linker can add padding, which makes the
assembler treat the difference between two local labels as
non-constant even if alignment is arranged so padding is not required.
This may need toolchain help to solve nicely, for now move the prefix
instruction out of the alternate patch section to work around it.
This reduces kernel text size by about 6%.

Add an option to build kernel and module with prefixed instructions if

This is not related to kernel support for userspace execution of
prefixed instructions.
Building with prefixed instructions breaks some extended inline asm
memory addressing, for example it will provide immediates that exceed
the range of simple load/store displacement. Whether this is a
toolchain or a kernel asm problem remains to be seen. For now, these
are replaced with simpler and less efficient direct register addressing
when compiling with prefixed.

This mostly consolidates the Book3E and Book3S behaviour in boot WRT
executing from the physical or virtual address.
Book3E sets up kernel virtual linear map in start_initialization_book3e
and runs from the virtual linear alias after that. This change makes
Book3S begin to execute from the virtual alias at the same point. Book3S
can not use its MMU for that at this point, but when the MMU is disabled,
the virtual linear address correctly aliases to physical memory because
the top bits of the address are ignored with MMU disabled.
Secondaries execute from the virtual address similarly early.
This reduces the differences between subarchs, but the main motivation
was to enable the PC-relative addressing ABI for Book3S, where pointer
calculations must execute from the virtual address or the top bits of
the pointer will be lost. This is similar to the requirement the TOC
relative addressing already has that the TOC pointer use its virtual
address.

When copy_thread is given a kernel function to run in arg->fn, this
does not necessarily mean it is a kernel thread. User threads can be
created this way (e.g., kernel_init, see also x86's copy_thread()).
These threads run a kernel function which may call kernel_execve()
and return, which returns like a userspace exec(2) syscall.
Kernel threads are to be differentiated with PF_KTHREAD, will always
have arg->fn set, and should never return from that function, instead
calling kthread_exit() to exit.
Create separate paths for the kthread and user kernel thread creation
logic. The kthread path will never exit and does not require a user
interrupt frame, so it gets a minimal stack frame.

With appropriate compiler support [1], KASAN builds use __asan prefixed
meminstrinsics, and KASAN no longer overrides memcpy/memset/memmove.
If compiler support is detected (CC_HAS_KASAN_MEMINTRINSIC_PREFIX), define
memintrinsics normally (do not prefix '__').
On powerpc, KASAN is the only user of __mem functions, which are used to
define instrumented memintrinsics. Alias the normal versions for KASAN to
use in its implementation.

The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists in the VDSO. For
this the VDSO build validates that the resulting .so file does not have any
relocations which are specified via $(ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS) per architecture,
which is fragile as e.g. ARM64 lacks an entry for R_AARCH64_RELATIVE. Aside
of that ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a misnomer as it checks for relative
relocations too.
However, some GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE relocation entries. If
a port fails to determine the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros
become R_*_NONE relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540). R_*_NONE are
generally a no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them.
Remove the ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS defines and just validate that the resulting
.so file does not contain any R_* relocation entries except R_*_NONE.

Direct access to the struct bus_type dev_root pointer is going away soon
so replace that with a call to bus_get_dev_root() instead, which is what
it is there for.

ppc_md.calibrate_decr() is a mandatory item. Its nullity is never
checked so it must be non null on all platforms.
Most platforms define generic_calibrate_decr() as their
ppc_md.calibrate_decr(). Have time_init() call
generic_calibrate_decr() when ppc_md.calibrate_decr() is NULL,
and remove default assignment from all machines.

Most probe functions do nothing else than checking whether
the machine is compatible to a given string.
Define that string in ppc_md structure and check it directly from
probe_machine() instead of using ppc_md.probe() for that.
Keep checking in ppc_md.probe() only for more complex probing.

Up until now PPC64 managed to avoid using iommu_ops. The VFIO driver
uses a SPAPR TCE sub-driver and all iommu_ops uses were kept in the
Type1 VFIO driver. Recent development added 2 uses of iommu_ops to the
generic VFIO which broke POWER:
- a coherency capability check;
- blocking IOMMU domain - iommu_group_dma_owner_claimed()/...
This adds a simple iommu_ops which reports support for cache coherency
and provides a basic support for blocking domains. No other domain types
are implemented so the default domain is NULL.
Since now iommu_ops controls the group ownership, this takes it out of
VFIO.
This adds an IOMMU device into a pci_controller (=PHB) and registers it
in the IOMMU subsystem, iommu_ops is registered at this point. This
setup is done in postcore_initcall_sync.
This replaces iommu_group_add_device() with iommu_probe_device() as the
former misses necessary steps in connecting PCI devices to IOMMU
devices. This adds a comment about why explicit iommu_probe_device() is
still needed.
The previous discussion is here:

This moves pciobios_init() to the next initcall level.
