Balbir Singh d924cc3fed powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Align __init_begin to 16M
For CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX align __init_begin to 16M. We use 16M
since its the larger of 2M on radix and 16M on hash for our linear
mapping. The plan is to have .text, .rodata and everything upto
__init_begin marked as RX. Note we still have executable read only
data. We could further align rodata to another 16M boundary. I've used
keeping text plus rodata as read-only-executable as a trade-off to
doing read-only-executable for text and read-only for rodata.

We don't use multi PT_LOAD in PHDRS because we are not sure if all
bootloaders support them. This patch keeps PHDRS in vmlinux.lds.S as
the same they are with just one PT_LOAD for all of the kernel marked
as RWX (7).

mpe: What this means is the added alignment bloats the resulting
binary on disk, a powernv kernel goes from 17M to 22M.

Nicholas Piggin 83a092cf95 powerpc: Link warning for orphan sections
Add --orphan-handling=warn to final link flags. This ensures we can
handle all sections explicitly. This would have caught subtle breakage
such as 7de3b27bac at build-time.

Also bring existing orphan sections into the fold:
- .text.hot and .text.unlikely are compiler generated sections.
- .sdata2, .dynsbss, .plt are used by PPC32
- We previously did not specify DWARF_DEBUG or STABS_DEBUG
- DWARF_DEBUG did not include all DWARF sections that can be emitted
- A number of sections are unused and can be discarded.

Nicholas Piggin c494adefef powerpc/64: Tool to check head sections location sanity
Use a tool to check that the location of "fixed sections" are where
we expected them to be, which catches cases the linker script can't
(stubs being added to start of .text section), and which ends up
being neater.

Sample output:

  ERROR: start_text address is c000000000008100, should be c000000000008000
  ERROR: see comments in arch/powerpc/tools/head_check.sh

Nicholas Piggin 951eedebcd powerpc/64: Handle linker stubs in low .text code
Very large kernels may require linker stubs for branches from HEAD
text code. The linker may place these stubs before the HEAD text
sections, which breaks the assumption that HEAD text is located at 0
(or the .text section being located at 0x7000/0x8000 on Book3S
kernels).

Provide an option to create a small section just before the .text
section with an empty 256 - 4 bytes, and adjust the start of the .text
section to match. The linker will tend to put stubs in that section
and not break our relative-to-absolute offset assumptions.

This causes a small waste of space on common kernels, but allows large
kernels to build and boot. For now, it is an EXPERT config option,
defaulting to =n, but a reference is provided for it in the build-time
check for such breakage. This is good enough for allyesconfig and
custom users / hackers.

Linus Torvalds 7246f60068 powerpc updates for 4.12 part 1.
Highlights include:
 
  - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we use a 128TB
    virtual address space, but a process can request access to the full 512TB by
    passing a hint to mmap().
 
  - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.
 
  - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.
 
  - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator Interface
    Architecture 2.0".
 
  - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and runtime.
 
  - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as support for
    KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.
 
  - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts, correctly treating
    them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and using a new hypervisor call
    to trigger them, all of which should aid debugging and robustness.
 
 Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

Which moved the BUG_TABLE from RO_DATA_SECTION() to RW_DATA_SECTION(),
but a number of architectures don't use RW_DATA_SECTION(), so they
ended up with no __bug_table[] ...

Ideally all those would use RW_DATA_SECTION() in their linker scripts,
but that's for another day.

Chris Metcalf 6727ad9e20 nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus
When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

Nicholas Piggin 57f266497d powerpc: Use gas sections for arranging exception vectors
Use assembler sections of fixed size and location to arrange the 64-bit
Book3S exception vector code (64-bit Book3E also uses it in head_64.S
for 0x0..0x100).

This allows better flexibility in arranging exception code and hiding
unimportant details behind macros.

Gas sections can be a bit painful to use this way, mainly because the
assembler does not know where they will be finally linked. Taking
absolute addresses requires a bit of trickery for example, but it can
be hidden behind macros for the most part.

Generated code is mostly the same except locations, offsets, alignments.

The "+ 0x2" is only required for the trap number / kvm exit number,
which gets loaded as a constant into a register.

Previously, code also used + 0x2 for label names, but we changed to
using "H" to distinguish HV case for that. Remove the last vestiges
of that.

__after_prom_start is taking absolute address of a label in another
fixed section. Newer toolchains seemed to compile this okay, but older
ones do not. FIXED_SYMBOL_ABS_ADDR is more foolproof, it just takes an
additional line to define.

Michael Ellerman 7de3b27bac powerpc: Ensure .mem(init|exit).text are within _stext/_etext
In our linker script we open code the list of text sections, because we
need to include the __ftr_alt sections, which are arch-specific.

This means we can't use TEXT_TEXT as defined in vmlinux.lds.h, and so we
don't have the MEM_KEEP() logic for memory hotplug sections.

If we build the kernel with the gold linker, and with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y,
we see that functions marked __meminit can end up outside of the
_stext/_etext range, and also outside of _sinittext/_einittext, eg:

    c000000000000000 T _stext
    c0000000009e0000 A _etext
    c0000000009e3f18 T hash__vmemmap_create_mapping
    c000000000ca0000 T _sinittext
    c000000000d00844 T _einittext

This causes them to not be recognised as text by is_kernel_text(), and
prevents them being patched by jump_label (and presumably ftrace/kprobes
etc.).

Fix it by adding MEM_KEEP() directives, mirroring what TEXT_TEXT does.

This isn't a problem when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, because we use the
standard INIT_TEXT_SECTION() and EXIT_TEXT macros from vmlinux.lds.h.

This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the

Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the

__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the

Anton Blanchard 0e0ed6406e powerpc/modules: Module CRC relocation fix causes perf issues
Module CRCs are implemented as absolute symbols that get resolved by
a linker script. We build an intermediate .o that contains an
unresolved symbol for each CRC. genksysms parses this .o, calculates
the CRCs and writes a linker script that "resolves" the symbols to
the calculated CRC.

Unfortunately the ppc64 relocatable kernel sees these CRCs as symbols
that need relocating and relocates them at boot. Commit d4703aef
(module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)
added a hook to reverse the bogus relocations. Part of this patch
created a symbol at 0x0:

# head -2 /proc/kallsyms
0000000000000000 T reloc_start
c000000000000000 T .__start

This reloc_start symbol is causing lots of confusion to perf. It
thinks reloc_start is a massive function that stretches from 0x0 to
0xc000000000000000 and we get various cryptic errors out of perf,
including:

problem incrementing symbol count, skipping event

This patch removes the  reloc_start linker script label and instead
defines it as PHYSICAL_START. We also need to wrap it with
CONFIG_PPC64 because the ppc32 kernel can set a non zero
PHYSICAL_START at compile time and we wouldn't want to subtract
it from the CRCs in that case.

Anton Blanchard 5ac47f7a6e powerpc: Relocate prom_init.c on 64bit
The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means
our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do
this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of
variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a
RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it.

32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c
with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually.
Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would
have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a
large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data).
The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates
more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot.

Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even
if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC.
This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of
prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to
process which helps keep boot times on simulators down.

gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be
safe we may want a build time script which passes through the
prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.

Suzuki Poulose 9c5f7d39a8 powerpc: Process dynamic relocations for kernel
The following patch implements the dynamic relocation processing for
PPC32 kernel. relocate() accepts the target virtual address and relocates
 the kernel image to the same.

Currently the following relocation types are handled :

	R_PPC_RELATIVE
	R_PPC_ADDR16_LO
	R_PPC_ADDR16_HI
	R_PPC_ADDR16_HA

The last 3 relocations in the above list depends on value of Symbol indexed
whose index is encoded in the Relocation entry. Hence we need the Symbol
Table for processing such relocations.

Note: The GNU ld for ppc32 produces buggy relocations for relocation types
that depend on symbols. The value of the symbols with STB_LOCAL scope
should be assumed to be zero. - Alan Modra

Tejun Heo 0415b00d17 percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE
Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly.  The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.

The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.

This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE.  While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.

For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area.  As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.

This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

Tejun Heo 023bf6f1b8 linker script: unify usage of discard definition
Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
considerable differences.  This led to linker script for each arch
implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
tedious and adding new entries error-prone.

This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro.  As ld
uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.

ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.

defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64,
alpha, sparc, sparc64 and s390.  Michal Simek tested microblaze.

Percpu now requires three symbols to be defined - __per_cpu_load,

* powerpc: can use generic PERCPU() macro.  Compile tested for
  powerpc32, compile/boot tested for powerpc64.

* ia64: can use generic PERCPU_VADDR() macro.  __phys_per_cpu_start is
  identical to __per_cpu_load.  Compile tested and symbol table looks
  identical after the change except for the additional __per_cpu_load.

* arm: added explicit __per_cpu_load definition.  Currently uses
  unified .init output section so can't use the generic macro.  Dunno
  whether the unified .init ouput section is required by arch
  peculiarity so I left it alone.  Please break it up and use PERCPU()
  if possible.

older versions of GNU ld (such as 2.16.1) when building a
non-relocatable kernel.  Since ld 2.16.1 is still a popular choice for
cross-toolchains, this adds an #ifdef to vmlinux.lds.S so the added
lines are only included when building a relocatable kernel.

Paul Mackerras 91a0030295 powerpc: Sync RPA note in zImage with kernel's RPA note
Commit 9b09c6d909 ("powerpc: Change the
default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the
real-base value in the CHRP note added by the addnote program from
12MB to 32MB to give more space for Open Firmware to load the zImage.
(The real-base value says where we want OF to position itself in
memory.)  However, this change was ineffective on most pSeries
machines, because the RPA note added by addnote has the "ignore me"
flag set to 1.  This was intended to tell OF to ignore just the RPA
note, but has the side effect of also making OF ignore the CHRP note
(at least on most pSeries machines).

To solve this we have to set the "ignore me" flag to 0 in the RPA
note.  (We can't just omit the RPA note because that is equivalent to
having an RPA note with default values, and the default values are not
what we want.)  However, then we have to make sure the values in the
zImage's RPA note match up with the values that the kernel supplies
later in prom_init.c with either the ibm,client-architecture-support
call or the process-elf-header call in prom_send_capabilities().

So this sets the "ignore me" flag in the RPA note in addnote to 0, and
adjusts the RPA note values in addnote.c and in prom_init.c to be
consistent with each other and with the values in ibm_architecture_vec.

However, since the wrapper is independent of the kernel, this doesn't
ensure that the notes will stay consistent.  To ensure that, this adds
code to addnote.c so that it can extract the kernel's RPA note from
the kernel binary and put that in the zImage.  To that end, we put the
kernel's fake ELF header (which contains the kernel's RPA note) into
its own section, and arrange for wrapper to pull out that section with
objcopy and pass it to addnote, which then extracts the RPA note from
it and transfers it to the zImage.

Paul Mackerras 549e8152de powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable
This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set.  This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations.  (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)

The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run.  In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel.  This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.

This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler.  With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).

With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical
address 0 and run there.

Stephen Rothwell 303996dace powerpc: Make sure _etext is after all kernel text
This makes core_kernel_text() (and therefore kernel_text_address())
return the correct result.  Currently all the __devinit routines (at
least) will not be considered to be kernel text.

This is just a quick fix for 2.6.27 - hopefully we will be able to fix
this better in 2.6.28.
