<title>powerpc: Add support for adding an ESM blob to the zImage wrapper</title>

<content type='text'>
For secure VMs, the signing tool will create a ticket called the "ESM blob"
for the Enter Secure Mode ultravisor call with the signatures of the kernel
and initrd among other things.

This adds support to the wrapper script for adding that blob via the "-e"
option to the zImage.pseries.

It also adds code to the zImage wrapper itself to retrieve and if necessary
relocate the blob, and pass its address to Linux via the device-tree, to be
later consumed by prom_init.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

<title>kbuild: Use ls(1) instead of stat(1) to obtain file size</title>

<id>a670b0b4aed129dc11b465c1c330bfe9202023e5</id>
<content type='text'>
stat(1) is not standardized and different implementations have their own
(conflicting) flags for querying the size of a file.

ls(1) provides the same information (value of st.st_size) in the 5th
column, except when the file is a character or block device. This output
is standardized[0]. The -n option turns on -l, which writes lines
formatted like

  "%s %u %s %s %u %s %s\n", &lt;file mode&gt;, &lt;number of links&gt;,
      &lt;owner name&gt;, &lt;group name&gt;, &lt;size&gt;, &lt;date and time&gt;,
      &lt;pathname&gt;

but instead of writing the &lt;owner name&gt; and &lt;group name&gt;, it writes the
numeric owner and group IDs (this avoids /etc/passwd and /etc/group
lookups as well as potential field splitting issues).

The &lt;size&gt; field is specified as "the value that would be returned for
the file in the st_size field of struct stat".

To avoid duplicating logic in several locations in the tree, create
scripts/file-size.sh and update callers to use that instead of stat(1).

<title>powerpc/boot: Request no dynamic linker for boot wrapper</title>

The boot wrapper performs its own relocations and does not require
PT_INTERP segment. However currently we don't tell the linker that.

Prior to binutils 2.28 that works OK. But since binutils commit
1a9ccd70f9a7 ("Fix the linker so that it will not silently generate ELF
binaries with invalid program headers. Fix readelf to report such
invalid binaries.") binutils tries to create a program header segment
due to PT_INTERP, and the link fails because there is no space for it:

  ld: arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N
  ld: final link failed: Bad value

So tell the linker not to do that, by passing --no-dynamic-linker.

<title>powerpc/boot: Add XZ support to the wrapper script</title>

This modifies the wrapper script so that the -Z option takes an argument
to specify the compression type. It can either be 'gz', 'xz' or 'none'.

The legazy --no-gzip and -z options are still supported and will set the
compression to none and gzip respectively, but they are not documented.

Only XZ -6 is used for compression rather than XZ -9. Using compression
levels higher than 6 requires the decompressor to build a large (64MB)
dictionary when decompressing and some environments cannot satisfy such
large allocations (e.g. POWER 6 LPAR partition firmware).

Add support for the Artesyn MVME7100 Single Board Computer.

The MVME7100 is a 6U form factor VME64 computer with:

    - A two e600 cores Freescale MPC8641D CPU
    - 2 GB of DDR2 onboard memory
    - Four Gigabit Ethernets
    - Five 16550 compatible UARTs
    - One USB 2.0 port
    - Two PCI/PCI eXpress Mezzanine Card (PMC/XMC) Slots
    - A DS1375 Real Time Clock (RTC)
    - 512 KB of Non-Volatile Memory (NVRAM)
    - Two 64 KB EEPROMs
    - 128 MB NOR and 4/8 GB NAND Flash

This patch is based on linux-4.7-rc1 and has been only boot tested.

Limitations:
    This patch covers only models 171 and 173
    No plans to support CPLD timers

Know issues:
    All four PHYs work in polling mode

Configuration is missing for:
    PCI IDSEL and PCI Interrupt definition

Support is missing for:
    Cache and memory controllers (which are very similar to the 85xx ones
        but right now I don't know if we can re-use their support)
    Watchdog, USB, NVRAM, NOR, NAND, EEPROMs, VME, PMC/XMC and RTC
