Newer gcc will support "-mno-readonly-in-sdata"[1], which makes sure that
the optimization on PPC32 for variables getting moved into the .sdata
section will not apply to const variables (which must be in .rodata).
This was originally noticed in mm/rodata_test.c when rodata_test_data
was not static:

After this patch with an updated compiler, this is correctly in .rodata.

powerpc64 gcc can generate code that offsets an address, to access
part of an object in memory. If the address is a -mcmodel=medium toc
pointer relative address then code like the following is possible.
addis r9,r2,var@toc@ha
ld r3,var@toc@l(r9)
ld r4,(var+8)@toc@l(r9)
This works fine so long as var is naturally aligned, *and* r2 is
sufficiently aligned. If not, there is a possibility that the offset
added to access var+8 wraps over a n*64k+32k boundary. Modules don't
have any guarantee that r2 is sufficiently aligned. Moreover, code
generated by older compilers generates a .toc section with 2**0
alignment, which can result in relocation failures at module load time
even without the wrap problem.
Thus, this patch links modules with an aligned .toc section (Makefile
and module.lds changes), and forces alignment for out of tree modules
or those without a .toc section (module_64.c changes).

In commit efe0160cfd ("powerpc/64: Linker on-demand sfpr functions
for modules"), we added an ld version check early in the powerpc
top-level Makefile.
Because the Makefile runs before the kernel config is setup, the
checks for CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN etc. all take the default case. So
we end up configuring ld for 32-bit big endian.
That would be OK, except that for historical (or perhaps no) reason,
we use 'override LD' to add the endian flags to the LD variable
itself, rather than the normal approach of adding them to LDFLAGS.
The end result is that when we check the ld version we run it as:
$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld -EB -m elf32ppc --version
This often works, unless you are using a 64-bit only and/or little
endian only, toolchain. In which case you see something like:
$ make defconfig
powerpc64le-linux-ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf32ppc
Supported emulations: elf64lppc elf32lppc elf32lppclinux elf32lppcsim
/bin/sh: 1: [: -ge: unexpected operator
The proper fix is to stop using 'override LD', but that will require a
fair bit of testing. Instead we can fix it for now just by reordering
the Makefile to do the version check earlier.

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

Currently powerpc has to introduce a dependency on its default build
target zImage in order to run a relocation check pass over the linked
vmlinux. This is deficient because the check is not run if the plain
vmlinux target is built, or if one of the other boot targets is built.
Switch to using the kbuild post-link pass, added in commit fbe6e37dab
("kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile") in order to run this
check. In future powerpc will use this to do more complicated operations,
but initially using it for something simple is a good first step.

GCC can compile with either endian, but the default ABI version is set
based on the default endianness of the toolchain. Alan Modra says:
you need both -mbig and -mabi=elfv1 to make a powerpc64le gcc
generate powerpc64 code
The opposite is true for powerpc64 when generating -mlittle it
requires -mabi=elfv2 to generate v2 ABI, which we were already doing.
This change adds ABI annotations together with endianness for all cases,
LE and BE. This fixes the case of building a BE kernel with a toolchain
that is LE by default.

Back in 2005 when the ppc/ppc64 merge started, we used to build the
kernel code in arch/powerpc but use the boot code from arch/ppc or
arch/ppc64 depending on whether we were building for 32 or 64-bit.
Originally we called the boot Makefile passing ARCH=$(OLDARCH), where
OLDARCH was ppc or ppc64.
In commit 20f629549b ("powerpc: Make building the boot image work for
both 32-bit and 64-bit") (2005-10-11) we split the call for 32/64-bit
using an ifeq check, because the two Makefiles took different targets,
and explicitly passed ARCH=ppc64 for the 64-bit case and ARCH=ppc for
the 32-bit case.
Then in commit 94b212c29f ("powerpc: Move ppc64 boot wrapper code over
to arch/powerpc") (2005-11-16) we moved the boot code into arch/powerpc
and dropped the ppc case, but kept passing ARCH=ppc64 to
arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile.
Since then there have been several more boot targets added, all of which
have copied the ARCH=ppc64 setting, such that now we have four targets
using it.
Currently it seems that nothing actually uses the ARCH value, but that's
basically just luck, and in particular it prevents us from using the
generic cpp_lds_S rule. It's also clearly wrong, ARCH=ppc64 is dead,
buried and cremated.
Fix it by dropping the setting of ARCH completely, the correct value is
exported by the top level Makefile.

In fact it makes no sense at all to have this defined on little endian
builds. Since we disabled the 32-bit VDSO on little endian, we don't
build any 32-bit code when building a little endian kernel.
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
When we introduced the little endian support, we added the endian flags
to CC directly using override. I don't know the history of why we did
that, I suspect no one does.
Although this mostly works, it has one bug, which is that CROSS32CC
doesn't get -mbig-endian. That means when the compiler is little endian
by default and the user is building big endian, vdso32 is incorrectly
compiled as little endian and the kernel fails to build.
Instead we can add the endian flags to cflags-y/aflags-y, and then
append those to KBUILD_CFLAGS/KBUILD_AFLAGS.
This has the advantage of being 1) less ugly, 2) the documented way of
adding flags in the arch Makefile and 3) it fixes building vdso32 with a
LE toolchain.

Freescale updates from Scott:
"Highlights include 8xx optimizations, 32-bit checksum optimizations,
86xx consolidation, e5500/e6500 cpu hotplug, more fman and other dt
bits, and minor fixes/cleanup."
Firstly we add logic to Kconfig to allow a user to choose if they want
mprofile-kernel. This has to be user-selectable because only some
current toolchains support it. If we enabled it unconditionally we would
prevent some users from building the kernel entirely.
Arguably it would be nice if we could detect if mprofile-kernel was
available, and use it then. However that would violate the principle of
least surprise because a user having choosen options such as live
patching, would then see them quietly disabled at build time.
We also make the user selectable option negative, ie. it disables when
selected, so that allyesconfig continues to build on old toolchains.
Once we've decided we do want to use mprofile-kernel, we then add a
script which checks it actually works. That is because there are
versions of gcc that accept the flag but don't generate correct code.
Due to the way kconfig works, we can't error out when we detect a
non-working toolchain. If we did a user would never be able to modify
their config and run oldconfig - because the check would block oldconfig
from running. Instead we emit a warning and add a bogus flag to CFLAGS
so that the build will fail.

The TUNE_CELL option allows you to build a kernel that runs on multiple
CPUs but is tuned (ie. optimised) to run on Cell CPUs. Now days no one
is building a distro in that fashion, and any users who are building
custom kernels for their Cell machines are better off building with
CONFIG_CELL_CPU, which builds a kernel that only runs on Cell and
therefore can be optimised even more aggresively.
Dropping the option also avoids confusing other users, who are presented
with an option to tune for Cell when they are not building for a Cell
CPU at all.

Rather than continuing to maintain a copy of pseries_defconfig with
CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN enabled, use the generic merge_config script
and use an le.config to enable little endian on top of pseries_defconfig
without the need for a duplicated _defconfig file.
This method will require less maintenance in the future and will ensure
that both 'defconfigs' are always in sync.
It is worth noting that the seemingly more simple approach of:
pseries_le_defconfig: pseries_defconfig
$(Q)$(MAKE) le.config
Will not work when building using O=builddir.
The obvious fix to that:
pseries_le_defconfig:
$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile pseries_defconfig le.config
Also does not work. This is because if we have for example:
config FOO
depends on CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
select BAR
Then BAR will be enabled by the first call to kconfig (via
pseries_defconfig), and then will remain enabled after we merge
le.config, even though FOO will have been turned off.
The solution is to ensure to only invoke the kconfig logic once, after
we have merged all the config fragments. This ensures nothing is
select'ed on that should then be disabled by the later merged configs.
This is done through the explicit call to make olddefconfig

should use @high and @higha in place of @h and @ha. @h and @ha
(and their associated relocs R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI and R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA)
now report overflow if the value is out of 32-bit signed range.
ie. @h and @ha assume you're building a 32-bit value. This is needed
to report out-of-range -mcmodel=medium toc pointer offsets in @toc@h
and @toc@ha expressions, and for consistency I did the same for all
other @h and @ha relocs.
Replacing @h with @high in one strategic location fixes the relocation
errors. This has to be done conditionally since the assembler either
