	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.

2020-11-19	powerpc/64s: Convert some cpu_setup() and cpu_restore() functions to C	Jordan Niethe
	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.
