<id>d924cc3feda9c2bea8164930899f367ce249cbbf</id>
<content type='text'>
For CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX align __init_begin to 16M. We use 16M
since its the larger of 2M on radix and 16M on hash for our linear
mapping. The plan is to have .text, .rodata and everything upto
__init_begin marked as RX. Note we still have executable read only
data. We could further align rodata to another 16M boundary. I've used
keeping text plus rodata as read-only-executable as a trade-off to
doing read-only-executable for text and read-only for rodata.

We don't use multi PT_LOAD in PHDRS because we are not sure if all
bootloaders support them. This patch keeps PHDRS in vmlinux.lds.S as
the same they are with just one PT_LOAD for all of the kernel marked
as RWX (7).

mpe: What this means is the added alignment bloats the resulting
binary on disk, a powernv kernel goes from 17M to 22M.

<title>powerpc: Link warning for orphan sections</title>

<id>83a092cf95f28696ddc36c8add0cf03ac034897f</id>
<content type='text'>
Add --orphan-handling=warn to final link flags. This ensures we can
handle all sections explicitly. This would have caught subtle breakage
such as 7de3b27bac47da9de08409df1d69664acbb72197 at build-time.

Also bring existing orphan sections into the fold:
- .text.hot and .text.unlikely are compiler generated sections.
- .sdata2, .dynsbss, .plt are used by PPC32
- We previously did not specify DWARF_DEBUG or STABS_DEBUG
- DWARF_DEBUG did not include all DWARF sections that can be emitted
- A number of sections are unused and can be discarded.

Use a tool to check that the location of "fixed sections" are where
we expected them to be, which catches cases the linker script can't
(stubs being added to start of .text section), and which ends up
being neater.

Sample output:

  ERROR: start_text address is c000000000008100, should be c000000000008000
  ERROR: see comments in arch/powerpc/tools/head_check.sh

<title>powerpc/64: Handle linker stubs in low .text code</title>

<id>951eedebcdea06fdcc742c82dc347509ce0e1ba4</id>
<content type='text'>
Very large kernels may require linker stubs for branches from HEAD
text code. The linker may place these stubs before the HEAD text
sections, which breaks the assumption that HEAD text is located at 0
(or the .text section being located at 0x7000/0x8000 on Book3S
kernels).

Provide an option to create a small section just before the .text
section with an empty 256 - 4 bytes, and adjust the start of the .text
section to match. The linker will tend to put stubs in that section
and not break our relative-to-absolute offset assumptions.

This causes a small waste of space on common kernels, but allows large
kernels to build and boot. For now, it is an EXPERT config option,
defaulting to =n, but a reference is provided for it in the build-time
check for such breakage. This is good enough for allyesconfig and
custom users / hackers.

 "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.

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

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).

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.
