Kumar Gala 366234f657 [POWERPC] Update linker script to properly set physical addresses
We can set LOAD_OFFSET and use the AT attribute on sections and the
linker will properly set the physical address of the LOAD program
header for us.

This allows us to know how the PHYSICAL_START the user configured a
kernel with by just looking at the resulting vmlinux ELF.

This is pretty much stolen from how x86 does things in their linker
scripts.

Kumar Gala 4846c5deb9 [POWERPC] Clean up some linker and symbol usage
* PAGE_OFFSET is not always the start of code, use _stext instead.
* grab PAGE_SIZE and KERNELBASE from asm/page.h like ppc64 does.  Makes the
  code a bit more common and provide a single place to manipulate the
  defines for things like kdump.

This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data
and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in
the generic vmlinux.lds.h.

This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy

Stephen Rothwell e95c91821f [POWERPC] Fix link errors for allyesconfig
An allyesconfig build creates a .text section that is so big that the
.text.init.refok and .fixup sections are too far away for the relocations
to be fixed up correctly. This patch fixes that by linking all the
relevent text sections for each file together.

Suggested by Paul Mackerras.

Kumar Gala 748a768384 [POWERPC] Fix modpost warnings from head*.S on ppc32
We get warnings like the following from the various ppc32 head*.S files:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x358): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:early_init (between 'skpinv' and 'interrupt_base')
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x380): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:machine_init (between 'skpinv' and 'interrupt_base')
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x384): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:MMU_init (between 'skpinv' and 'interrupt_base')
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3aa): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:start_kernel (between 'skpinv' and 'interrupt_base')
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3ae): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:start_kernel (between 'skpinv' and 'interrupt_base')

Added a .text.head section simliar to what other architectures do since
modpost already excludes this from its warnings.

Roland McGrath 8fb775ee58 powerpc: Put allocated ELF notes in read-only data segment
This changes the powerpc linker script to use the asm-generic NOTES macro so
that ELF note sections with SHF_ALLOC set are linked into the kernel image
along with other read-only data.  The PT_NOTE also points to their location.

This paves the way for putting useful build-time information into ELF notes
that can be found easily later in a kernel memory dump.

Fenghua Yu 5fb7dc37dc define new percpu interface for shared data
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.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 832a791c58 [POWERPC] Fix powerpc vmlinux.lds.S
Sam's recent change in 7664709b44
broke things for us because we ended up with *(.text.*) before
*(.text), whereas previously *(.text) was first.  This was
important because the start of the text section contains the
kernel entry point.

In fact, we don't need that *(.text.*) thing anymore and it
incorrectly matched .text.init.refok, thus putting it before
.text. .. ouch !

Let's allow page-alignment in general for per-cpu data (wanted by Xen, and

Because larger alignments can use more room, we increase the max per-cpu

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 73c9ceab40 [POWERPC] Generic BUG for powerpc
This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery.  The biggest reports the
function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general.

There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several
functions.

Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG
macro includes a goto loop.  This will generate a real jmp instruction, which
is never used.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt e8222502ee [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

We can't currently use asm-ppc/page.h in vmlinux.lds.S, so until
we have a merged page.h, define PAGE_SIZE and KERNELBASE locally.
Also gets rid of some dynamic executable cruft that we had for
32-bit.  With -Ttext=$(KERNELBASE) this didn't cause any problem,
but when we changed to putting . = KERNELBASE in the vmlinux.lds.S
this cruft caused the text to get linked at 0xa0 instead of
0xc0000000.  Oops.

Michael Ellerman e19e4ab415 powerpc: Set entry point and text address in linker script
Currently we set the kernel entry point and the address of the text
section in the Makefile, using CONFIG_KERNEL_START.

But we've already got <asm/page.h> in the linker script, so we can just
use KERNELBASE directly. That means if we ever change KERNELBASE there's
one less place to change it.

And we can set the entry point with ENTRY().

There are zero differences from "readelf -a vmlinux" with or without this
patch.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files.  It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac.  This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.

For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel.  This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.

The boot directory is still not merged.  That's going to be interesting.
