<title>powerpc/booke: Only use VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET on booke32</title>

<id>ffda09a9941c18d9f08d1176d55588d505f62912</id>
<content type='text'>
The way VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET is not correct on book3e-64, because
it does not account for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE other than via the
32-bit-only virt_phys_offset.

book3e-64 can (and if the comment about a GCC miscompilation is still
relevant, should) use the normal ppc64 __va/__pa.

At this point, only booke-32 will use VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET, so given the
issues with its calculation, restrict its definition to booke-32.

<id>a6c19dfe39941a5d3f4d072121c0a4841e7e26fd</id>
<content type='text'>
The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) &amp;&amp; defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).

This default is only useful for ia64.  arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it.  arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.

This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.

This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

<content type='text'>
PPC44x supports page sizes other than 4K however when 64K page sizes
are selected compilation fails. This is due to a change in the
definition of pgtable_t introduced by the following patch:

commit 5c1f6ee9a31cbdac90bbb8ae1ba4475031ac74b4
Author: Aneesh Kumar K.V &lt;aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt;
powerpc: Reduce PTE table memory wastage

The above patch only implements the new layout for PPC64 so it doesn't
compile for PPC32 with a 64K page size. Ideally we should implement
the same layout for PPC32 however for the meantime this patch reverts
the definition of pgtable_t for PPC32.
