Allow vectors to be either merged into the kernel .text or put at a
fixed virtual address independently of XIP option. Drop option that
puts vectors at a fixed offset from the kernel text. Add choice to
Kconfig.
Vectors at fixed virtual address may be useful for XIP-aware MTD support
and for noMMU configurations with available IRAM. Configurations without
VECBASE register must put their vectors at specific locations regardless
of the selected option. All other configurations should happily use
merged vectors.

On XIP kernels it makes sense to have exception vectors and fast
exception handlers together (in a fast memory). In addition, with MTD
XIP support both vectors and fast exception handlers must be outside of
the FLASH.
Add section .exception.text and move fast exception handlers to it.
Put it together with vectors when vectors are outside of the .text.

XIP (eXecute In Place) kernel image is the image that can be run
directly from ROM, using RAM only for writable data.
XIP xtensa kernel differs from regular xtensa kernel in the following
ways:
- it has exception/IRQ vectors merged into text section. No vectors
relocation takes place at kernel startup.
- .data/.bss location must be specified in the kernel configuration,
its content is copied there in the _startup function.
- .init.text is merged with the rest of text and is executed from ROM.
- when MMU is used the virtual address where the kernel will be mapped
must be specified in the kernel configuration. It may be in the KSEG
or in the KIO, __pa macro is adjusted to be able to handle both.

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.

There are multiple factors adding to the issue in different
configurations:
- commit 17290231df ("xtensa: add fixup for double exception raised
in window overflow") added function window_overflow_restore_a0_fixup to
double exception vector overlapping reset vector location of secondary
processor cores.
- on MMUv2 cores RESET_VECTOR1_VADDR may point to uncached kernel memory
making code overlapping depend on cache type and size, so that without
cache or with WT cache reset vector code overwrites double exception
code, making issue even harder to detect.
- on MMUv3 cores RESET_VECTOR1_VADDR may point to unmapped area, as
MMUv3 cores change virtual address map to match MMUv2 layout, but
reset vector virtual address is given for the original MMUv3 mapping.
- physical memory region of the secondary reset vector is not reserved
in the physical memory map, and thus may be allocated and overwritten
at arbitrary moment.
Fix it as follows:
- move window_overflow_restore_a0_fixup code to .text section.
- define RESET_VECTOR1_VADDR so that it points to reset vector in the
cacheable MMUv2 map for cores with MMU.
- reserve reset vector region in the physical memory map. Drop separate
literal section and build mxhead.S with text section literals.

Double exceptions that happen during register window overflow/underflow
are handled in the topmost stack frame, as if it was the only exception
that occured. However unaligned access exception handler is special
because it needs to analyze instruction that caused the exception, but
the userspace instruction that triggered window exception is completely
irrelevant. Unaligned data access is rather normal in the generic
userspace code, but stack pointer manipulation must always be done by
architecture-aware code and thus unaligned stack means a serious problem
anyway.
Use the default unaligned access handler that raises SIGBUS in case
of unaligned access in window overflow/underflow handler.

There are two FIXMEs in the double exception handler 'for the extremely
unlikely case'. This case gets hit by gcc during kernel build once in
a few hours, resulting in an unrecoverable exception condition.
Provide missing fixup routine to handle this case. Double exception
literals now need 8 more bytes, add them to the linker script.
Also replace bbsi instructions with bbsi.l as we're branching depending
on 8th and 7th LSB-based bits of exception address.
This may be tested by adding the explicit DTLB invalidation to window
overflow handlers, like the following:

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.

Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have

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.

Fix resembles implementation from Marc Gauthier and Piet Denaly:
In the Xtensa architecture, assembly generates literals which must always
precede the code (the L32R instruction that loads them only uses negative
PC-relative offsets). For any *.text section, literals are placed in a
corresponding *.literal section. The linker script (vmlinux.lds) must
place these in the correct order. It must also combine them, when the
*.text section can be larger than L32R's 256 kB range.
For example, this doesn't work: *(.literal) *(.text) because L32R
instructions at the end of .text can't reach the literals.
The linker can solve this if they are combined in parentheses, like this:
*(.literal .text)
because it is now allowed mix literals in .text to bring them in range.
None of this is done by standard vmlinux.lds.h macros such as TEXT_TEXT
and INIT_TEXT. To avoid replicating the logic of that header file, we
instead post-process the generated linker script to convert *(xxx.text)
to *(xxx.literal xxx.text) for the following text sections:
.text .ref.text .*init.text .*exit.text .text.*
using a sed script. To do this we must override the default rule for
vmlinux.lds (see scripts/Makefile.build and the top-level Makefile)
to insert this extra step.

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

The header files in the asm-xtensa directory are not clean and
'make headers_check' fails. This is a first patch to fix most of
the header files. It removes unnecessary include statements and
adds some that are required for building the kernel. The linker
script required some updates or the linking stage would fail.
