When using if_changed, we need to add FORCE as a dependency (see
Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt) otherwise we don't get command line
change checking amongst other things. This has resulted in vdsos not
being rebuilt when switching between big and little endian.

The vdso64/32ld commands have to be changed around to avoid pulling
FORCE into the linker command line (code copied from x86).

We cannot do those initializations from apply_feature_fixups() as
this function runs in a very restricted environment on 32-bit where
the kernel isn't running at its linked address and the PTRRELOC()
macro must be used for any global accesss.

Instead, split them into a separtate steup_feature_keys() function
which is called in a more suitable spot on ppc32.

This makes it easier to debug crashes that happen very early before
the kernel takes over Open Firmware by allowing us to relate the OF
reported crashing addresses to offsets within the kernel.

Commit 8d460f6156cd ("powerpc/process: Add the function
flush_tmregs_to_thread") added flush_tmregs_to_thread() and included
the assumption that it would only be called for a task which is not
current.

Although this is correct for ptrace, when generating a core dump, some
of the routines which call flush_tmregs_to_thread() are called. This
leads to a WARNing such as:

  Not expecting ptrace on self: TM regs may be incorrect

So fix flush_tmregs_to_thread() to detect the case where it is called on

to the thread_struct.

This patch also moves flush_tmregs_to_thread() into ptrace.c as it is
only called from that file.

<title>powerpc/pci: Fix endian bug in fixed PHB numbering</title>

<id>61e8a0d5a0270b91581f6c715036844b2ea98da1</id>
<content type='text'>
The recent commit 63a72284b159 ("powerpc/pci: Assign fixed PHB number
based on device-tree properties"), added code to read a 64-bit property
from the device tree, and if not found read a 32-bit property (reg).

There was a bug in the 32-bit case, on big endian machines, due to the
use of the 64-bit value to read the 32-bit property. The cast of &amp;prop
means we end up writing to the high 32-bit of prop, leaving the low
32-bits containing whatever junk was on the stack.

If that junk value was non-zero, and &lt; MAX_PHBS, we would end up using
it as the PHB id. This results in users seeing what appear to be random
PHB ids.

Fix it by reading into a u32 property and then assigning that to the
u64 value, letting the CPU do the correct conversions for us.

This is a very minor/trivial fix for the output of PCI address on EEH
logs. The PCI address on "OF node" field currently is using ":" as a
separator for the function, but the usual separator is ".". This patch
changes the separator to dot, so the PCI address is printed as usual.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Fix MCE handler to avoid trashing CR0/CR1 registers.</title>

<content type='text'>
The current implementation of MCE early handling modifies CR0/1 registers
without saving its old values. Fix this by moving early check for
powersaving mode to machine_check_handle_early().

The power architecture 2.06 or later allows the possibility of getting
machine check while in nap/sleep/winkle. The last bit of HSPRG0 is set
to 1, if thread is woken up from winkle. Hence, clear the last bit of
HSPRG0 (r13) before MCE handler starts using it as paca pointer.

Also, the current code always puts the thread into nap state irrespective
of whatever idle state it woke up from. Fix that by looking at
paca-&gt;thread_idle_state and put the thread back into same state where it
came from.
