1426d5a3bd powerpc: Dynamically allocate pacas
On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for
each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically
allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will
waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus.

We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at
boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access
the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system.

The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas,
but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any
unused pacas.

4ef7b373df of/flattree: Don't assume HAVE_LMB
We don't always have lmb available, so make arches provide an
early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch() to handle the allocation of
memory in the fdt code.

When we don't have lmb.h included, we need asm/page.h for __va.

1406bc2f57 of/flattree: use callback to setup initrd from /chosen
At present, the fdt code sets the kernel-wide initrd_start and
initrd_end variables when parsing /chosen. On ARM, we only set these
once the bootmem has been reserved.

This change adds an arch hook to setup the initrd from the device
tree:

 void early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch(unsigned long start,
				      unsigned long end);

The arch-specific code can then setup the initrd however it likes.

Compiled on powerpc, with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y and =n.

6016a363f6 of: unify phandle name in struct device_node
In struct device_node, the phandle is named 'linux_phandle' for PowerPC
and MicroBlaze, and 'node' for SPARC.  There is no good reason for the
difference, it is just an artifact of the code diverging over a couple
of years.  This patch renames both to simply .phandle.

Note: the .node also existed in PowerPC/MicroBlaze, but the only user
seems to be arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/pfunc_core.c.  It doesn't
look like the assignment between .linux_phandle and .node is
significantly different enough to warrant the separate code paths
unless ibm,phandle properties actually appear in Apple device trees.

I think it is safe to eliminate the old .node property and use
phandle everywhere.

549e8152de powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable
This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set.  This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations.  (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)

The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run.  In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel.  This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.

This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler.  With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).

With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical
address 0 and run there.

cf00085d80 powerpc: Add support for dynamic reconfiguration memory in kexec/kdump kernels
Kdump kernel needs to use only those memory regions that it is allowed
to use (crashkernel, rtas, tce, etc.).  Each of these regions have
their own sizes and are currently added under 'linux,usable-memory'
property under each memory@xxx node of the device tree.

The ibm,dynamic-memory property of ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory
node (on POWER6) now stores in it the representation for most of the
logical memory blocks with the size of each memory block being a
constant (lmb_size).  If one or more or part of the above mentioned
regions lie under one of the lmb from ibm,dynamic-memory property,
there is a need to identify those regions within the given lmb.

This makes the kernel recognize a new 'linux,drconf-usable-memory'
property added by kexec-tools.  Each entry in this property is of the
form of a count followed by that many (base, size) pairs for the above
mentioned regions.  The number of cells in the count value is given by
the #size-cells property of the root node.

37dd2badcf [POWERPC] 85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and booting at non-zero)
Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical
address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and
kdump).  The support can be configured at compile time by setting
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as
desired.

Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE.  Setting this
config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical
addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START.  If
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning.
However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program
header physical address field in the resulting ELF image.

Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a
multiple of 256M.  This is due to how we map TLBs to cover
lowmem.  This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment
in the future.  It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a
non-aligned physical address.

All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization
of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET.

The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings.
ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET.

/dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system
regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

f4ac7b5eb7 [POWERPC] Fix device-tree locking vs. interrupts
Lockdep found out that we can occasionally take the device-tree
lock for reading from softirq time (from rtas_token called
by the rtas real time clock code called by the NTP code),
while we take it occasionally for writing without masking
interrupts. The combination of those two can thus deadlock.

While some of those cases of interrupt read lock could be fixed
(such as caching the RTAS tokens) I figured that taking the
lock for writing is so rare (device-tree modification) that we
may as well penalize that case and allow reading from interrupts.

Thus, this turns all the writers to take the lock with irqs
masked to avoid the situation.

37ddd5d053 [POWERPC] pseries/phyp dump: Reserve a variable amount of space at boot
This changes the way we calculate how much space to reserve for the
pHyp dump.  Currently we reserve 256MB only.  With this change, the
code first checks to see if an amount has been specified on the boot
command line with the "phyp_dump_reserve_size" option, and if so, uses
that much.

Otherwise it computes 5% of total ram and rounds it down to a multiple
of 256MB, and uses the larger of that or 256MB.

This is for large systems with a lot of memory (10GB or more).  The
aim is to have more space available for the kernel on reboot on
machines with more resources.  Although the dump will be collected
pretty fast and the memory released really early on allowing the
machine to have the full memory available, this alleviates any issues
that can be caused by having way too little memory on very very large
systems during those few minutes.

14b3d926a2 [POWERPC] 4xx: update 440EP(x)/440GR(x) identical PVR issue workaround
Renaming the CPU nodes with generic names put the CPU model in
the "model" property and thus broke the PowerPC 440EP(x)/440GR(x)
identical PVR workaround. The updates it to use the new model property
for CPU identification.

584f8b71a2 [POWERPC] Use SLB size from the device tree
Currently we hardwire the number of SLBs to 64, but PAPR says we
should use the ibm,slb-size property to obtain the number of SLB
entries.  This uses this property instead of assuming 64.  If no
property is found, we assume 64 entries as before.

This soft patches the SLB handler, so it shouldn't change performance
at all.

d1dfc35d3a [POWERPC] 4xx: Workaround for the 440EP(x)/GR(x) processors identical PVR issue.
PowerPC 440EP(x) 440GR(x) processors have the same PVR values, since
they have identical cores. However, FPU is not supported on GR(x) and
enabling APU instruction broadcast in the CCR0 register (to enable FPU)
may cause unpredictable results. There's no safe way to detect FPU
support at runtime. This patch provides a workarund for the issue.

We use a POWER6 "logical PVR approach". First, we identify all EP(x)
and GR(x) processors as GR(x) ones (which is safe). Then we check
the device tree cpu path. If we have a EP(x) processor entry,
we call identify_cpu again with PVR | 0x8. This bit is always 0
in the real PVR. This way we enable FPU only for 440EP(x).

84fdde5af1 [POWERPC] Use cache-inhibited large page bit from firmware
Discussions with firmware architects have confirmed that the bit in
the ibm,pa-features property that indicates support for
cache-inhibited large (>= 64kB) page mappings does in fact mean that
the hypervisor allows 64kB mappings to I/O devices.

Thus we can now enable the code that tests that bit and sets our
CPU_FTR_CI_LARGE_PAGE feature bit.
