On PPC64, as register r13 points to the paca_struct at all time,
this patch adds a copy of the canary there, which is copied at
task_switch.
That new canary is then used by using the following GCC options:
-mstack-protector-guard=tls
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=r13
-mstack-protector-guard-offset=offsetof(struct paca_struct, canary))

This functionality was tentatively added in the past
(commit 6533b7c16e ("powerpc: Initial stack protector
(-fstack-protector) support")) but had to be reverted
(commit f2574030b0 ("powerpc: Revert the initial stack
protector support") because of GCC implementing it differently
whether it had been built with libc support or not.
Now, GCC offers the possibility to manually set the
stack-protector mode (global or tls) regardless of libc support.
This time, the patch selects HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR only if
-mstack-protector-guard=tls is supported by GCC.
On PPC32, as register r2 points to current task_struct at
all time, the stack_canary located inside task_struct can be
used directly by using the following GCC options:
-mstack-protector-guard=tls
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=r2
-mstack-protector-guard-offset=offsetof(struct task_struct, stack_canary))
The protector is disabled for prom_init and bootx_init as
it is too early to handle it properly.

Some 64-bit toolchains uses the wrong ISA variant for compiling 32-bit
kernels, even with -m32. Debian's powerpc64le is one such case, and
that is because it is built with --with-cpu=power8.
So when cross compiling a 32-bit kernel with a 64-bit toolchain, set
-mcpu=powerpc initially, which is the generic 32-bit powerpc machine
type and scheduling model. CPU and platform code can override this
with subsequent -mcpu flags if necessary.
This is not done for 32-bit toolchains otherwise it would override
their defaults, which are presumably set appropriately for the
environment (moreso than a 64-bit cross compiler).
This fixes a lot of build failures due to incompatible assembly when
compiling 32-bit kernel with the Debian powerpc64le 64-bit toolchain.

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.

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

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.

CONFIG_CELL_CPU, which builds a kernel that only runs on Cell and
therefore can be optimised even more aggresively.
