Merge tag 'powerpc-6.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Add HOTPLUG_SMT support (/sys/devices/system/cpu/smt) and honour the configured SMT state when hotplugging CPUs into the system - Combine final TLB flush and lazy TLB mm shootdown IPIs when using the Radix MMU to avoid a broadcast TLBIE flush on exit - Drop the exclusion between ptrace/perf watchpoints, and drop the now unused associated arch hooks - Add support for the "nohlt" command line option to disable CPU idle - Add support for -fpatchable-function-entry for ftrace, with GCC >= 13.1 - Rework memory block size determination, and support 256MB size on systems with GPUs that have hotpluggable memory - Various other small features and fixes Thanks to Andrew Donnellan, Aneesh Kumar K.V, Arnd Bergmann, Athira Rajeev, Benjamin Gray, Christophe Leroy, Frederic Barrat, Gautam Menghani, Geoff Levand, Hari Bathini, Immad Mir, Jialin Zhang, Joel Stanley, Jordan Niethe, Justin Stitt, Kajol Jain, Kees Cook, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Laurent Dufour, Liang He, Linus Walleij, Mahesh Salgaonkar, Masahiro Yamada, Michal Suchanek, Nageswara R Sastry, Nathan Chancellor, Nathan Lynch, Naveen N Rao, Nicholas Piggin, Nick Desaulniers, Omar Sandoval, Randy Dunlap, Reza Arbab, Rob Herring, Russell Currey, Sourabh Jain, Thomas Gleixner, Trevor Woerner, Uwe Kleine-König, Vaibhav Jain, Xiongfeng Wang, Yuan Tan, Zhang Rui, and Zheng Zengkai. * tag 'powerpc-6.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux: (135 commits) macintosh/ams: linux/platform_device.h is needed powerpc/xmon: Reapply "Relax frame size for clang" powerpc/mm/book3s64: Use 256M as the upper limit with coherent device memory attached powerpc/mm/book3s64: Fix build error with SPARSEMEM disabled powerpc/iommu: Fix notifiers being shared by PCI and VIO buses powerpc/mpc5xxx: Add missing fwnode_handle_put() powerpc/config: Disable SLAB_DEBUG_ON in skiroot powerpc/pseries: Remove unused hcall tracing instruction powerpc/pseries: Fix hcall tracepoints with JUMP_LABEL=n powerpc: dts: add missing space before { powerpc/eeh: Use pci_dev_id() to simplify the code powerpc/64s: Move CPU -mtune options into Kconfig powerpc/powermac: Fix unused function warning powerpc/pseries: Rework lppaca_shared_proc() to avoid DEBUG_PREEMPT powerpc: Don't include lppaca.h in paca.h powerpc/pseries: Move hcall_vphn() prototype into vphn.h powerpc/pseries: Move VPHN constants into vphn.h cxl: Drop unused detach_spa() powerpc: Drop zalloc_maybe_bootmem() powerpc/powernv: Use struct opal_prd_msg in more places ...
