Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights include:

   - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we
     use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access
     to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap().

   - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.

   - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.

   - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
     Interface Architecture 2.0".

   - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
     runtime.

   - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
     support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.

   - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
     correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
     using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
     aid debugging and robustness.

   - Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

powerpc/kprobes: Blacklist exception handlers

2017-04-23T10:32:25+00:00

Introduce __head_end to mark end of the early fixed sections and use it to
blacklist all exception handlers from kprobes.

mpe: We do not need to do anything special for relocatable kernels, where the
exception vectors are split from the main kernel, as the split vectors are
already excluded by the check for kernel_text_address().

debug: Fix __bug_table[] in arch linker scripts

2017-04-03T08:22:40+00:00

The kbuild test robot reported this build failure on a number
of architectures:

 >         make.cross ARCH=arm
 >    lib/lib.a(bug.o): In function `find_bug':
 > >> lib/bug.c:135: undefined reference to `__start___bug_table'
 > >> lib/bug.c:135: undefined reference to `__stop___bug_table'

Caused by:

  19d436268dde ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")

Which moved the BUG_TABLE from RO_DATA_SECTION() to RW_DATA_SECTION(),
but a number of architectures don't use RW_DATA_SECTION(), so they
ended up with no __bug_table[] ...

Ideally all those would use RW_DATA_SECTION() in their linker scripts,
but that's for another day.

powerpc/64: Fix placement of .text to be immediately following .head.text

2016-12-01T11:26:31+00:00

Do not introduce any additional alignment. Placement of text section
will be set by fixed section macros. Without this, output section
alignment defaults to 4096, which makes BookE text section start at
0x1000 when it is expected to start at 0x100.

This was introduced by commit 57f266497d81 ("powerpc: Use gas sections
for arranging exception vectors") and was caught with the scripted head
section checker (not yet merged).

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

powerpc: Use gas sections for arranging exception vectors

2016-10-04T02:06:56+00:00

Use assembler sections of fixed size and location to arrange the 64-bit
Book3S exception vector code (64-bit Book3E also uses it in head_64.S
for 0x0..0x100).

This allows better flexibility in arranging exception code and hiding
unimportant details behind macros.

Gas sections can be a bit painful to use this way, mainly because the
assembler does not know where they will be finally linked. Taking
absolute addresses requires a bit of trickery for example, but it can
be hidden behind macros for the most part.

Generated code is mostly the same except locations, offsets, alignments.

The "+ 0x2" is only required for the trap number / kvm exit number,
which gets loaded as a constant into a register.

Previously, code also used + 0x2 for label names, but we changed to
using "H" to distinguish HV case for that. Remove the last vestiges
of that.

__after_prom_start is taking absolute address of a label in another
fixed section. Newer toolchains seemed to compile this okay, but older
ones do not. FIXED_SYMBOL_ABS_ADDR is more foolproof, it just takes an
additional line to define.

powerpc: Ensure .mem(init|exit).text are within _stext/_etext

2016-09-19T00:53:56+00:00

In our linker script we open code the list of text sections, because we
need to include the __ftr_alt sections, which are arch-specific.

This means we can't use TEXT_TEXT as defined in vmlinux.lds.h, and so we
don't have the MEM_KEEP() logic for memory hotplug sections.

If we build the kernel with the gold linker, and with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y,
we see that functions marked __meminit can end up outside of the
_stext/_etext range, and also outside of _sinittext/_einittext, eg:

    c000000000000000 T _stext
    c0000000009e0000 A _etext
    c0000000009e3f18 T hash__vmemmap_create_mapping
    c000000000ca0000 T _sinittext
    c000000000d00844 T _einittext

This causes them to not be recognised as text by is_kernel_text(), and
prevents them being patched by jump_label (and presumably ftrace/kprobes
etc.).

Fix it by adding MEM_KEEP() directives, mirroring what TEXT_TEXT does.

This isn't a problem when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, because we use the
standard INIT_TEXT_SECTION() and EXIT_TEXT macros from vmlinux.lds.h.

powerpc/32: Remove RELOCATABLE_PPC32

2016-07-19T10:17:07+00:00

It is seldom used in the kernel code and can be easily replaced by
either RELOCATABLE or PPC32. So there is no reason to keep a separate
kernel option for this.

arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections

2016-03-25T23:37:42+00:00

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to  so that the
users don't need to pull in .  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.
