powerpc: Sync RPA note in zImage with kernel's RPA note
Commit 9b09c6d909dfd8de96b99b9b9c808b94b0a71614 ("powerpc: Change the
default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the
real-base value in the CHRP note added by the addnote program from
12MB to 32MB to give more space for Open Firmware to load the zImage.
(The real-base value says where we want OF to position itself in
memory.) However, this change was ineffective on most pSeries
machines, because the RPA note added by addnote has the "ignore me"
flag set to 1. This was intended to tell OF to ignore just the RPA
note, but has the side effect of also making OF ignore the CHRP note
(at least on most pSeries machines).
To solve this we have to set the "ignore me" flag to 0 in the RPA
note. (We can't just omit the RPA note because that is equivalent to
having an RPA note with default values, and the default values are not
what we want.) However, then we have to make sure the values in the
zImage's RPA note match up with the values that the kernel supplies
later in prom_init.c with either the ibm,client-architecture-support
call or the process-elf-header call in prom_send_capabilities().
So this sets the "ignore me" flag in the RPA note in addnote to 0, and
adjusts the RPA note values in addnote.c and in prom_init.c to be
consistent with each other and with the values in ibm_architecture_vec.
However, since the wrapper is independent of the kernel, this doesn't
ensure that the notes will stay consistent. To ensure that, this adds
code to addnote.c so that it can extract the kernel's RPA note from
the kernel binary and put that in the zImage. To that end, we put the
kernel's fake ELF header (which contains the kernel's RPA note) into
its own section, and arrange for wrapper to pull out that section with
objcopy and pass it to addnote, which then extracts the RPA note from
it and transfers it to the zImage.

powerpc: Avoid integer overflow in page_is_ram()
Commit 8b150478 ("ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns
instead of addresses") fixed page_is_ram() in arch/ppc to avoid overflow
for addresses above 4G on 32-bit kernels. However arch/powerpc's
page_is_ram() is missing the same fix -- it computes a physical address
by doing pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, which overflows if pfn corresponds to a page
above 4G.
In particular this causes pages above 4G to be mapped with the wrong
caching attribute; for example many ppc440-based SoCs have PCI space
above 4G, and mmap()ing MMIO space may end up with a mapping that has
caching enabled.
Fix this by working with the pfn and avoiding the conversion to
physical address that causes the overflow. This patch compares the
pfn to max_pfn, which is a semantic change from the old code -- that
code compared the physical address to high_memory, which corresponds
to max_low_pfn. However, I think that was is another bug, since
highmem pages are still RAM.

a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)
The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.
This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are

we get to making the kernel as a position-independent executable,
which we'd rather not have to handle. This changes various bits
of assembly code to use LOAD_REG_ADDR when we need to get the
address of a symbol, or to use suitable position-independent code
for cases where we can't access the TOC for various reasons, or
if we're not running at the address we were linked at.
It also cleans up a few minor things; there's no reason to save and
restore SRR0/1 around RTAS calls, __mmu_off can get the return
address from LR more conveniently than the caller can supply it in
R4 (and we already assume elsewhere that EA == RA if the MMU is on
in early boot), and enable_64b_mode was using 5 instructions where
2 would do.

powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernel
This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to
the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to
have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel. Now,
instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top
32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and
ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of
the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset.
This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for
the handler with a load from the paca. That makes it unnecessary to
have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit
mode.
We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code,
which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to
.slb_miss_realmode any more. Instead we have to compute the address
and do an indirect branch. This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE;
for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before. (A later
change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.)
Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100
bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is,
we can't use a direct branch to get there. Instead this changes
__secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer. When it
is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function
pointed to by that value.
Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit
by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU
spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

powerpc: Rearrange head_64.S to move interrupt handler code to the beginning
This rearranges head_64.S so that we have all the first-level exception
prologs together starting at 0x100, followed by all the second-level
handlers that are invoked from the first-level prologs, followed by
other code. This doesn't make any functional change but will make
following changes for relocatable kernel support easier.

powerpc: Add support for dynamic reconfiguration memory in kexec/kdump kernels
Kdump kernel needs to use only those memory regions that it is allowed
to use (crashkernel, rtas, tce, etc.). Each of these regions have
their own sizes and are currently added under 'linux,usable-memory'
property under each memory@xxx node of the device tree.
The ibm,dynamic-memory property of ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory
node (on POWER6) now stores in it the representation for most of the
logical memory blocks with the size of each memory block being a
constant (lmb_size). If one or more or part of the above mentioned
regions lie under one of the lmb from ibm,dynamic-memory property,
there is a need to identify those regions within the given lmb.
This makes the kernel recognize a new 'linux,drconf-usable-memory'
property added by kexec-tools. Each entry in this property is of the
form of a count followed by that many (base, size) pairs for the above
mentioned regions. The number of cells in the count value is given by
the #size-cells property of the root node.

powerpc: New copy_4K_page()
This new copy_4K_page() function was originally tuned for the best
performance on the Cell processor, but after testing on more 64bit
powerpc chips it was found that with a small modification it either
matched the performance offered by the current mainline version or
bettered it by a small amount.
It was found that on a Cell-based QS22 blade the amount of system
time measured when compiling a 2.6.26 pseries_defconfig decreased
by 4%. Using the same test, a 4-way 970MP machine saw a decrease of
2% in system time. No noticeable change was seen on Power4, Power5
or Power6.
The 4096 byte page is copied in thirty-two 128 byte strides. An
initial setup loop executes dcbt instructions for the whole source
page and dcbz instructions for the whole destination page. To do
this, the cache line size is retrieved from ppc64_caches.
A new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ, (introduced in the
previous patch) is used to make the modification to this new copy
routine - on Power4, 970 and Cell the feature bit is set so the
setup loop is executed, but on all other 64bit chips the setup
loop is nop'ed out.

the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for

Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing

When running a 31-bit ptrace, on either an s390 or s390x kernel,
reads and writes into a padding area in struct user_regs_struct32
will result in a kernel panic.
This is also known as CVE-2008-1514.

Without patch, both s390 and s390x kernels panic. With patch, the test case,
as well as the gdb testsuite, pass without incident, padding area reads
returning zero, writes ignored.
