Merge a topic branch we are maintaining with some cross-architecture
changes to function descriptor handling and their use in LKDTM.

From Christophe's cover letter:

Fix LKDTM for PPC64/IA64/PARISC

PPC64/IA64/PARISC have function descriptors. LKDTM doesn't work on those
three architectures because LKDTM messes up function descriptors with
functions.

This series does some cleanup in the three architectures and refactors
function descriptors so that it can then easily use it in a generic way
in LKDTM.

<title>powerpc/Makefile: Don't pass -mcpu=powerpc64 when building 32-bit</title>

<id>2863dd2db23e0407f6c50b8ba5c0e55abef894f1</id>
<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU=y (true for all our defconfigs) we pass
-mcpu=powerpc64 to the compiler, even when we're building a 32-bit
kernel.

This happens because we have an ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64/else block in
the Makefile that was written before 32-bit supported GENERIC_CPU. Prior
to that the else block only applied to 64-bit Book3E.

The GCC man page says -mcpu=powerpc64 "[specifies] a pure ... 64-bit big
endian PowerPC ... architecture machine [type], with an appropriate,
generic processor model assumed for scheduling purposes."

It's unclear how that interacts with -m32, which we are also passing,
although obviously -m32 is taking precedence in some sense, as the
32-bit kernel only contains 32-bit instructions.

This was noticed by inspection, not via any bug reports, but it does
affect code generation. Comparing before/after code generation, there
are some changes to instruction scheduling, and the after case (with
-mcpu=powerpc64 removed) the compiler seems more keen to use r8.

Fix it by making the else case only apply to Book3E 64, which excludes
32-bit.

'sparse' is architecture agnostic and knows nothing about ELF ABI
version.

Just like it gets arch and powerpc type and endian from Makefile,
it also need to get _CALL_ELF from there, otherwise it won't set
PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 macro for PPC64le and won't check the correct code.

<id>a3ad84da076009c94969fa97f604257667e2980f</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch future-proofs the kernel against linker changes that might
put the toc pointer at some location other than .got+0x8000, by
replacing __toc_start+0x8000 with .TOC. throughout.  If the kernel's
idea of the toc pointer doesn't agree with the linker, bad things
happen.

prom_init.c code relocating its toc is also changed so that a symbolic
__prom_init_toc_start toc-pointer relative address is calculated
rather than assuming that it is always at toc-pointer - 0x8000.  The
length calculations loading values from the toc are also avoided.
It's a little incestuous to do that with unreloc_toc picking up
adjusted values (which is fine in practice, they both adjust by the
same amount if all goes well).

I've also changed the way .got is aligned in vmlinux.lds and
zImage.lds, mostly so that dumping out section info by objdump or
readelf plainly shows the alignment is 256.  This linker script
feature was added 2005-09-27, available in FSF binutils releases from
2.17 onwards.  Should be safe to use in the kernel, I think.

Finally, put *(.got) before the prom_init.o entry which only needs
*(.toc), so that the GOT header goes in the correct place.  I don't
believe this makes any difference for the kernel as it would for
dynamic objects being loaded by ld.so.  That change is just to stop
lusers who blindly copy kernel scripts being led astray.  Of course,
this change needs the prom_init.c changes.

Some notes on .toc and .got.

.toc is a compiler generated section of addresses.  .got is a linker
generated section of addresses, generally built when the linker sees
R_*_*GOT* relocations.  In the case of powerpc64 ld.bfd, there are
multiple generated .got sections, one per input object file.  So you
can somewhat reasonably write in a linker script an input section
statement like *prom_init.o(.got .toc) to mean "the .got and .toc
section for files matching *prom_init.o".  On other architectures that
doesn't make sense, because the linker generally has just one .got
section.  Even on powerpc64, note well that the GOT entries for
prom_init.o may be merged with GOT entries from other objects.  That
means that if prom_init.o references, say, _end via some GOT
relocation, and some other object also references _end via a GOT
relocation, the GOT entry for _end may be in the range
__prom_init_toc_start to __prom_init_toc_end and if the kernel does
something special to GOT/TOC entries in that range then the value of
_end as seen by objects other than prom_init.o will be affected.  On
the other hand the GOT entry for _end may not be in the range
__prom_init_toc_start to __prom_init_toc_end.  Which way it turns out
is deterministic but a detail of linker operation that should not be
relied on.

A feature of ld.bfd is that input .toc (and .got) sections matching
one linker input section statement may be sorted, to put entries used
by small-model code first, near the toc base.  This is why scripts for
powerpc64 normally use *(.got .toc) rather than *(.got) *(.toc), since
the first form allows more freedom to sort.

Another feature of ld.bfd is that indirect addressing sequences using
the GOT/TOC may be edited by the linker to relative addressing.  In
many cases relative addressing would be emitted by gcc for
-mcmodel=medium if you appropriately decorate variable declarations
with non-default visibility.

Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst suggests to use "archclean" for
cleaning arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/, but it is not a hard requirement.

Since commit d92cc4d51643 ("kbuild: require all architectures to have
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kbuild"), we can use the "subdir- += boot" trick for
all architectures. This can take advantage of the parallel option (-j)
for "make clean".

I also cleaned up the comments in arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile. The "archdep"
target no longer exists.

Instead of relying on awful hacks to obtain the offset of the cpu field
in struct task_struct, move it back into struct thread_info, which does
not create the same level of circular dependency hell when trying to
include the header file that defines it.

Object files used to link .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 have many
R_PPC64_ADDR64 relocations in non-SHF_WRITE sections. There are many
text relocations (e.g. in .rela___ksymtab_gpl+* and .rela__mcount_loc
sections) in a -pie link and are disallowed by LLD:

  ld.lld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_PPC64_ADDR64 against local symbol in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC or pass '-Wl,-z,notext' to allow text relocations in the output
  &gt;&gt;&gt; defined in arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o
  &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o:(__restart_table+0x10)

Newer GNU ld configured with "--enable-textrel-check=error" will report
an error as well:

  $ ld-new -EL -m elf64lppc -pie ... -o .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 ...
  ld-new: read-only segment has dynamic relocations

Add "-z notext" to suppress the errors. Non-CONFIG_RELOCATABLE builds
use the default -no-pie mode and thus R_PPC64_ADDR64 relocations can be
resolved at link-time.
