The device-tree property no-need-store-drain-on-priv-state-switch is equivalent to H_CPU_BEHAV_NO_STF_BARRIER from the H_CPU_GET_CHARACTERISTICS hcall on pseries. Since commit84ed26fd00("powerpc/security: Add a security feature for STF barrier") powernv systems with this device-tree property have been enabling the STF barrier when they have no need for it. This patch fixes this by clearing the STF barrier feature on those systems.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
