Almost half of misc_32.S is dedicated to kexec.
That's the relocation function for kexec.

Drop it into a dedicated kexec_relocate_32.S

<title>powerpc: Convert flush_icache_range &amp; friends to C</title>

<content type='text'>
Similar to commit 22e9c88d486a
("powerpc/64: reuse PPC32 static inline flush_dcache_range()")
this patch converts the following ASM symbols to C:
    flush_icache_range()
    __flush_dcache_icache()
    __flush_dcache_icache_phys()

This was done as we discovered a long-standing bug where the length of the
range was truncated due to using a 32 bit shift instead of a 64 bit one.

By converting these functions to C, it becomes easier to maintain.

flush_dcache_icache_phys() retains a critical assembler section as we must
ensure there are no memory accesses while the data MMU is disabled
(authored by Christophe Leroy). Since this has no external callers, it has
also been made static, allowing the compiler to inline it within
flush_dcache_icache_page().

copy_page() and clear_page() expect page aligned destination, and
use dcbz instruction to clear entire cache lines based on the
assumption that the destination is cache aligned.

As shown during analysis of a bug in BTRFS filesystem, a misaligned
copy_page() can create bugs that are difficult to locate (see Link).

Add an explicit WARNING when copy_page() or clear_page() are called
with misaligned destination.

<title>powerpc/32: Remove CURRENT_THREAD_INFO and rename TI_CPU</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that thread_info is similar to task_struct, its address is in r2
so CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro is useless. This patch removes it.

This patch also moves the 'tovirt(r2, r2)' down just before the
reactivation of MMU translation, so that we keep the physical address
of 'current' in r2 until then. It avoids a few calls to tophys().

At the same time, as the 'cpu' field is not anymore in thread_info,
TI_CPU is renamed TASK_CPU by this patch.

It also allows to get rid of a couple of
'#ifdef CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE' as ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY()
and ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_EXIT() are empty when
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE is not defined.

thread_info is not anymore in the stack, so the entire stack
can now be used.

There is also no risk anymore of corrupting task_cpu(p) with a
stack overflow so the patch removes the test.

When doing this, an explicit test for NULL stack pointer is
needed in validate_sp() as it is not anymore implicitely covered
by the sizeof(thread_info) gap.

In the meantime, with the previous patch all pointers to the stacks
are not anymore pointers to thread_info so this patch changes them
to void*
