powerpc: Fix -mcmodel=medium breakage in prom_init.c

2013-03-12T23:06:52+00:00

Commit 5ac47f7a6efb (powerpc: Relocate prom_init.c on 64bit) made
prom_init.c position independent by manually relocating its entries
in the TOC.

We get the address of the TOC entries with the __prom_init_toc_start
linker symbol. If __prom_init_toc_start ends up as an entry in the
TOC then we need to add an offset to get the current address. This is
the case for older toolchains.

On the other hand, if we have a newer toolchain that supports
-mcmodel=medium then __prom_init_toc_start will be created by a
relative offset from r2 (the TOC pointer). Since r2 has already been
relocated, nothing more needs to be done.  Adding an offset in this
case is wrong and Aaro Koskinen and Alexander Graf have noticed noticed
G5 and OpenBIOS breakage.

Alan Modra suggested we just use r2 to get at the TOC which is simpler
and works with both old and new toolchains.

powerpc: Remove RELOC() macro

2013-01-10T06:00:28+00:00

Now we relocate prom_init.c on 64bit we can finally remove the
nasty RELOC() macro.

Finally a patch that I can claim has a net positive effect on
the kernel. It doesn't happen very often.

powerpc: Relocate prom_init.c on 64bit

2013-01-10T06:00:25+00:00

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.

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "Some highlights in addition to the usual batch of fixes:

   - 64TB address space support for 64-bit processes by Aneesh Kumar

   - Gavin Shan did a major cleanup & re-organization of our EEH support
     code (IBM fancy PCI error handling & recovery infrastructure) which
     paves the way for supporting different platform backends, along
     with some rework of the PCIe code for the PowerNV platform in order
     to remove home made resource allocations and instead use the
     generic code (which is possible after some small improvements to it
     done by Gavin).

   - Uprobes support by Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli

   - A pile of embedded updates from Freescale folks, including new SoC
     and board supports, more KVM stuff including preparing for 64-bit
     BookE KVM support, ePAPR 1.1 updates, etc..."

powerpc: Rename 64-bit PVR constants to PVR_foo

2012-09-05T05:19:35+00:00

We have an old FIXME in reg.h which points out that we should standardise
on PVR_foo for our PVR #defines. Currently we use PVR_ on 32-bit and PV_
on 64-bit.

So do that rename and remove the FIXME.

Seeing as we're touching all but one usage of __is_processor(), rename it
to something less ugly and more indicative of what it does, which is
simply to check the PVR version.

This patches tries to fix a couple of Section mismatch warnings like
following one:

WARNING: arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x2923c): Section mismatch
in reference from the function .prom_query_opal() to the
function .init.text:.call_prom()
The function .prom_query_opal() references
the function __init .call_prom().
This is often because .prom_query_opal lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of .call_prom is wrong.
