commit 40dc948f234b73497c3278875eb08a01d5854d3f upstream.

The bootloader may pass physical address of the boot parameters structure
to the MMUv3 kernel in the register a2. Code in the _SetupMMU block in
the arch/xtensa/kernel/head.S is supposed to map that physical address to
the virtual address in the configured virtual memory layout.

This code haven't been updated when additional 256+256 and 512+512
memory layouts were introduced and it may produce wrong addresses when
used with these layouts.

<title>xtensa: make sure bFLT stack is 16 byte aligned</title>

commit 0773495b1f5f1c5e23551843f87b5ff37e7af8f7 upstream.

Xtensa ABI requires stack alignment to be at least 16. In noMMU
configuration ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is used to align stack. Make it at
least 16.

This fixes the following runtime error in noMMU configuration, caused by
interaction between insufficiently aligned stack and alloca function,
that results in corruption of on-stack variable in the libc function
glob:

 Caught unhandled exception in 'sh' (pid = 47, pc = 0x02d05d65)
  - should not happen
  EXCCAUSE is 15

commit 4119ba211bc4f1bf638f41e50b7a0f329f58aa16 upstream.

This section collects all source .note.* sections together in the
vmlinux image. Without it .note.Linux section may be placed at address
0, while the rest of the kernel is at its normal address, resulting in a
huge vmlinux.bin image that may not be linked into the xtensa Image.elf.

Commit a0f97e06a43c ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CC") renamed CFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS.

Commit 222d394d30e7 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS.

Commit 06c5040cdb13 ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS.

For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed.

Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental
override of the variable.

Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally
appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the
naming convention.

I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system
is a different world.
