Merge the binutils and kexec fixes.

With binutils 2.24, various 64 bit builds fail with relocation errors
such as
arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_crit_book3e':
(.text+0x165ee): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI
against symbol `interrupt_base_book3e' defined in .text section
in arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_crit_book3e':
(.text+0x16602): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI
against symbol `interrupt_end_book3e' defined in .text section
in arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o
The assembler maintainer says:
I changed the ABI, something that had to be done but unfortunately
happens to break the booke kernel code. When building up a 64-bit
value with lis, ori, shl, oris, ori or similar sequences, you now
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
supports @h or @high but not both.

This patch adds an option to enable a work around for an icache bug on
476 that can cause execution of stale instructions when falling
through pages (IBM errata #46). It requires a recent version of
binutils which supports the --ppc476-workaround option.
The work around enables the appropriate linker options and ensures
that all module output sections are aligned to 4K page boundaries. The
work around is only required when building modules.

When building modules with a native le toolchain the linker will
generate R_PPC64_TOCSAVE relocations when it's safe to omit saving r2 on
a plt call. This isn't helpful in the conext of a kernel module and the
kernel will fail to load those modules with an error like:
nf_conntrack: Unknown ADD relocation: 109
This patch tells the linker to avoid createing R_PPC64_TOCSAVE
relocations allowing modules to load.

Currently if I cross build TAGS or cscope from x86 I get this:

I'm not setting CROSS_COMPILE= as logically I shouldn't need to and I
haven't needed to in the past when building TAGS or cscope. Also, the
above completess correct as the error is not fatal to the build.

The below fixes this by testing for the -mbig-endian option before

If CONFIG_ALTIVEC is enabled for CoreNet64, and if we also

through a pointer on 64bit
The ppc64 ABI has a static chain register (r11) which is only used
when calling nested functions through a pointer. Considering that
we take a dim view of nested functions in the kernel, we have a lot
of unnecessary overhead here.
gcc 4.7 has an option to disable loading of r11 so lets use it.
If hell freezes over and hipsters manage to litter the kernel
with nested functions, gcc will give us an error message and
won't simply compile bad code:
You cannot take the address of a nested function if you use
the -mno-pointers-to-nested-functions option.
Furthermore our kernel module trampolines don't setup the static
chain register so adding this option and forcing gcc to error out
makes even more sense.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.
Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:
# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.
On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc)

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.

The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to
warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the
oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to
grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames.
While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations
of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the
original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.

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

So I've had one of these for a while and it looks like the vendor never
bothered submitting the support upstream.
This adds it using ppc40x_simple and provides a device-tree.
There are some changes to the boot wrapper because the way u-boot works
on this thing, it seems to expect a multipart image with the kernel,
initrd and dtb in it.
The USB support is missing as it needs the yet unmerged driver for
the DWC OTG part and the GPIOs may need further definition in the dts.

Recent binutils refuses to assemble AltiVec opcodes when in e500/SPE
mode, as some of those opcodes alias the "SPE" instructions. This
triggers an ancient binutils version check even when building a kernel
with CONFIG_ALTIVEC disabled.
In theory, the check could be conditionalized on CONFIG_ALTIVEC, but in
practice it has long outlived its utility. It is virtually impossible
to find binutils older than 2.12.1 (released 2002) in the wild anymore.
Even ancient RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 has binutils-2.14.
To fix the kernel build when done natively on e500 systems with this new
binutils, the test is simply removed.

An implementation of a code generator for BPF programs to speed up packet
filtering on PPC64, inspired by Eric Dumazet's x86-64 version.
Filter code is generated as an ABI-compliant function in module_alloc()'d mem
with stackframe & prologue/epilogue generated if required (simple filters don't
need anything more than an li/blr). The filter's local variables, M[], live in
registers. Supports all BPF opcodes, although "complicated" loads from negative
packet offsets (e.g. SKF_LL_OFF) are not yet supported.
There are a couple of further optimisations left for future work; many-pass
assembly with branch-reach reduction and a register allocator to push M[]
variables into volatile registers would improve the code quality further.
This currently supports big-endian 64-bit PowerPC only (but is fairly simple
to port to PPC32 or LE!).
Enabled in the same way as x86-64:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
Or, enabled with extra debug output:
echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

It is now possible to assign options to AS, CC and LD
on the command line - which is only used when building modules.
{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE was all used both in the top-level Makefile
in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify
additional options to AS, CC, LD when building modules
without overriding the original value.
Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE
that is used by arch specific files and free up
{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE so they can be assigned on
the command line.
All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.
Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both
AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped.
So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by
two assignmnets.
Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped
without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage
from this.

Better dwarf2 unwind information is a good thing, it allows better

around a module loader bug on powerpc.
But this disables the better unwind tables for all architectures, not just

that's it really a workaround.

When using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, we build the kernel as a position
independent executable. The kernel then uses a little bit of relocation
code to relocate itself. That code only deals with R_PPC64_RELATIVE
relocations though. If for some reason you use assembly constructs
such as LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() to load the address of a symbol, you'll
generate different kinds of relocations that won't be processed properly
and bad things will happen. (We have 2 such bugs today).
The perl script tries to filter out "known" bad ones. It's possible
that we are missing some in the case of a weak function that nobody
implements, we'll see if we get false positive and fix it.

Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.
Notes for the different architectures touched:
arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
[Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
the linker script.
[Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
[not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
[not build tested]

Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:
make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install
With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]
This patch undos what Ian did in commit:
0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46
("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")
The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.

Currently, load_up_altivec and give_up_altivec are duplicated
in 32-bit and 64-bit. This creates a common implementation that
is moved away from head_32.S, head_64.S and misc_64.S and into
vector.S, using the same macros we already use for our common
implementation of load_up_fpu.
I also moved the VSX code over to vector.S though in that case
I didn't make it build on 32-bit (yet).
