Use bpf_jit_binary_pack_alloc in powerpc jit. The jit engine first
writes the program to the rw buffer. When the jit is done, the program
is copied to the final location with bpf_jit_binary_pack_finalize.
With multiple jit_subprogs, bpf_jit_free is called on some subprograms
that haven't got bpf_jit_binary_pack_finalize() yet. Implement custom
bpf_jit_free() like in commit 1d5f82d9dd47 ("bpf, x86: fix freeing of
not-finalized bpf_prog_pack") to call bpf_jit_binary_pack_finalize(),
if necessary. As bpf_flush_icache() is not needed anymore, remove it.

<title>powerpc/bpf: populate extable entries only during the last pass</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 85e031154c7c ("powerpc/bpf: Perform complete extra passes
to update addresses"), two additional passes are performed to avoid
space and CPU time wastage on powerpc. But these extra passes led to
WARN_ON_ONCE() hits in bpf_add_extable_entry() as extable entries are
populated again, during the extra pass, without resetting the index.
Fix it by resetting entry index before repopulating extable entries,
if and when there is an additional pass.

<title>powerpc/64: vmlinux support building with PCREL addresing</title>

<id>7e3a68be42e10f5fa5890e97afc0afd992355bc3</id>
<content type='text'>
PC-Relative or PCREL addressing is an extension to the ELF ABI which
uses Power ISA v3.1 PC-relative instructions to calculate addresses,
rather than the traditional TOC scheme.

Add an option to build vmlinux using pcrel addressing. Modules continue
to use TOC addressing.

- TOC address helpers and r2 are poisoned with -1 when running vmlinux.
  r2 could be used for something useful once things are ironed out.

- Assembly must call C functions with @notoc annotation, or the linker
  complains aobut a missing nop after the call. This is done with the
  CFUNC macro introduced earlier.

- Boot: with the exception of prom_init, the execution branches to the
  kernel virtual address early in boot, before any addresses are
  generated, which ensures 34-bit pcrel addressing does not miss the
  high PAGE_OFFSET bits. TOC relative addressing has a similar
  requirement. prom_init does not go to the virtual address and its
  addresses should not carry over to the post-prom kernel.

- Ftrace trampolines are converted from TOC addressing to pcrel
  addressing, including module ftrace trampolines that currently use the
  kernel TOC to find ftrace target functions.

- BPF function prologue and function calling generation are converted
  from TOC to pcrel.

- copypage_64.S has an interesting problem, prefixed instructions have
  alignment restrictions so the linker can add padding, which makes the
  assembler treat the difference between two local labels as
  non-constant even if alignment is arranged so padding is not required.
  This may need toolchain help to solve nicely, for now move the prefix
  instruction out of the alternate patch section to work around it.

This reduces kernel text size by about 6%.

<content type='text'>
When an ALU instruction is preceded by a MOV instruction
that just moves a source register into the destination register of
the ALU, replace that MOV+ALU instructions by an ALU operation
taking the source of the MOV as second source instead of using its
destination.

Before the change, code could look like the following, with
superfluous separate register move (mr) instructions.

  70:	7f c6 f3 78 	mr      r6,r30
  74:	7f a5 eb 78 	mr      r5,r29
  78:	30 c6 ff f4 	addic   r6,r6,-12
  7c:	7c a5 01 d4 	addme   r5,r5

With this commit, addition instructions take r30 and r29 directly.

<content type='text'>
At the time being, all ALU operation are performed with same L-source
and destination, requiring the L-source to be moved into destination via
a separate register move, like:

  70:	7f c6 f3 78 	mr      r6,r30
  74:	7f a5 eb 78 	mr      r5,r29
  78:	30 c6 ff f4 	addic   r6,r6,-12
  7c:	7c a5 01 d4 	addme   r5,r5

Introduce a second source register to all ALU operations. For the time
being that second source register is made equal to the destination
register.

That change will allow, via following patch, to optimise the generated
code as:

a separate register move, like:

  70:	7f c6 f3 78 	mr      r6,r30
  74:	7f a5 eb 78 	mr      r5,r29
  78:	30 c6 ff f4 	addic   r6,r6,-12
  7c:	7c a5 01 d4 	addme   r5,r5

Introduce a second source register to all ALU operations. For the time
being that second source register is made equal to the destination
register.

That change will allow, via following patch, to optimise the generated
code as:

  70:	30 de ff f4 	addic   r6,r30,-12
  74:	7c bd 01 d4 	addme   r5,r29
