powerpc's asm/prom.h brings some headers that it doesn't
need itself.
In order to clean it up, first add missing headers in
users of asm/prom.h

hvterm_raw_put_chars() calls hvc_put_chars(), which may return -EAGAIN
when the underlying hcall returns a "busy" status, but udbg_hvc_putc()
doesn't handle this. When using xmon on a PowerVM guest, this can
result in incomplete or garbled output when printing relatively large
amounts of data quickly, such as when dumping the kernel log buffer.
Call again on -EAGAIN.

While developing KASAN for 64-bit book3s, I hit the following stack
over-read.
It occurs because the hypercall to put characters onto the terminal
takes 2 longs (128 bits/16 bytes) of characters at a time, and so
hvc_put_chars() would unconditionally copy 16 bytes from the argument
buffer, regardless of supplied length. However, udbg_hvc_putc() can
call hvc_put_chars() with a single-byte buffer, leading to the error.

Convert string compares of DT node names to use of_node_name_eq helper
instead. This removes direct access to the node name pointer.
For hvc, the code can also be simplified by using of_stdout pointer
instead of searching again for the stdout node.

Now that the SPDX tag is in all tty files, that identifies the license
in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording
can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.
This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.
No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.
Update the drivers/tty files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.
This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity.
Just lots of things all over the place.
Some things of note include:
- Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can
count both core events as well as nest unit events (Memory
controller etc).
- Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid
unnecessary Page Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the
tree is not changing.
- Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it
closer to other architectures where possible.
- Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to
send IPIs to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all
CPUs.
- The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU
systems. This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems
with very sparse NUMA layouts.
- STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32.
- A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that
pairs of cores may share an L2 cache.
- Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing
coprocessors, and initial support for using it with the NX
compression accelerator.
- Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for
many new instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to
implement the emulation needed to fixup alignment faults.
- Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt
controller.
And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting,
but I had to keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as
always.

For debugging very early boot problems we have CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG,
which allows configuring the kernel such that it unconditionally writes
to a particular type of console, regardless of whether that console
exists or not. This is useful sometimes when the kernel crashes before
it can even determine what platform it's on, and therefore what consoles
exist.
However if you boot a kernel built this way on a different platform, it
will generally crash because it writes to a console that doesn't exist.
A particularly nasty instance of this is if you enable the hypervisor
console early debug, and then boot that kernel on bare metal. The result
is that the kernel calls "the hypervisor" very early in boot, but the
kernel *is* the hypervisor, so we jump to the system call handler and
start executing all sorts of code that isn't ready to be run. This may
lead to a machine check or check stop depending on how lucky you are.
Luckily there is an easy way to avoid this particular case. We simply
read the MSR before installing the hooks, and if we see MSR_HV is set
then we are the hypervisor and we definitely should not use the
hypervisor console.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:
drivers/tty/hvc/Kconfig:config HVC_CONSOLE
drivers/tty/hvc/Kconfig: bool "pSeries Hypervisor Virtual Console support"
...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.
Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.
We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.
We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.
Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

The pseries hvterm driver only registers a udbg backend (for xmon and
other low level debugging mechanisms) when hvc0 is recognized as the
firmware console at boot time, not if it's detected later on, for
example because the firmware is using a graphics card.
This can make debugging challenging especially under X11, and there's
really no good reason for that limitation, so let's hookup udbg
whenever hvc0 is detected instead.

commit 4d2bb3f50036 (powerpc/pseries: Re-implement HVSI as part of
hvc_vio) changed udbg_getc to be based on hvterm_raw_get_chars.
Unfortunately hvterm_raw_get_chars returns -EAGAIN if you ask
for anything less than 16 characters. As a result xmon no longer
accepts input and prints a stream of junk to the screen.
The recent change highlights a problem that xmon on pseries VIO
has had all along, that it can drop input characters. The issue
is the hypervisor call does not take a count argument and can
return up to 16 characters.
This patch adds a per vterm buffer that we copy input data into
and give it out as requested.

On pseries machines, consoles are provided by the hypervisor using
a low level get_chars/put_chars type interface. However, this is
really just a transport to the service processor which implements
them either as "raw" console (networked consoles, HMC, ...) or as
"hvsi" serial ports.
The later is a simple packet protocol on top of the raw character
interface that is supposed to convey additional "serial port" style
semantics. In practice however, all it does is provide a way to
read the CD line and set/clear our DTR line, that's it.
We currently implement the "raw" protocol as an hvc console backend
(/dev/hvcN) and the "hvsi" protocol using a separate tty driver
(/dev/hvsi0).
However this is quite impractical. The arbitrary difference between
the two type of devices has been a major source of user (and distro)
confusion. Additionally, there's an additional mini -hvsi implementation
in the pseries platform code for our low level debug console and early
boot kernel messages, which means code duplication, though that low
level variant is impractical as it's incapable of doing the initial
protocol negociation to establish the link to the FSP.
This essentially replaces the dedicated hvsi driver and the platform
udbg code completely by extending the existing hvc_vio backend used
in "raw" mode so that:
- It now supports HVSI as well
- We add support for hvc backend providing tiocm{get,set}
- It also provides a udbg interface for early debug and boot console
This is overall less code, though this will only be obvious once we
remove the old "hvsi" driver, which is still available for now. When
the old driver is enabled, the new code still kicks in for the low
level udbg console, replacing the old mini implementation in the platform
code, it just doesn't provide the higher level "hvc" interface.
In addition to producing generally simler code, this has several benefits
over our current situation:
- The user/distro only has to deal with /dev/hvcN for the hypervisor
console, avoiding all sort of confusion that has plagued us in the past
- The tty, kernel and low level debug console all use the same code
base which supports the full protocol establishment process, thus the
console is now available much earlier than it used to be with the
old HVSI driver. The kernel console works much earlier and udbg is
available much earlier too. Hackers can enable a hard coded very-early
debug console as well that works with HVSI (previously that was only
supported for the "raw" mode).
I've tried to keep the same semantics as hvsi relative to how I react
to things like CD changes, with some subtle differences though:
- I clear DTR on close if HUPCL is set
- Current hvsi triggers a hangup if it detects a up->down transition
on CD (you can still open a console with CD down). My new implementation
triggers a hangup if the link to the FSP is severed, and severs it upon
detecting a up->down transition on CD.

As requested by Arnd Bergmann, the hvc drivers are now
moved to the drivers/tty/hvc/ directory. The virtio_console.c driver
was also moved, as it required the hvc_console.h file to be able to be
built, and it really is a hvc driver.
