The code that cleans up the IAMR/AMOR before kexec'ing failed to
remember that when we're running as a guest AMOR is not writable, it's
hypervisor privileged.
They symptom is that the kexec stops before entering purgatory and
nothing else is seen on the console. If you examine the state of the
system all threads will be in the 0x700 program check handler.
Fix it by making the write to AMOR dependent on HV mode.

This patch fixes a crash seen while doing a kexec from radix mode to
hash mode. Key 0 is special in hash and used in the RPN by default, we
set the key values to 0 today. In radix mode key 0 is used to control
supervisor<->user access. In hash key 0 is used by default, so the
first instruction after the switch causes a crash on kexec.
Commit 3b10d0095a ("powerpc/mm/radix: Prevent kernel execution of
user space") introduced the setting of IAMR and AMOR values to prevent
execution of user mode instructions from supervisor mode. We need to
clean up these SPR's on kexec.

When the kernel is compiled to use 64bit ABIv2 the _GLOBAL() macro does
not include a global entry point. A function's global entry point is
used when the function is called from a different TOC context and in the
kernel this typically means a call from a module into the vmlinux (or
vice-versa).
There are a few exported asm functions declared with _GLOBAL() and
calling them from a module will likely crash the kernel since any TOC
relative load will yield garbage.
flush_icache_range() and flush_dcache_range() are both exported to
modules, and use the TOC, so must use _GLOBAL_TOC().

Commit 2965faa5e0 ("kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core
code") introduced CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE so that CONFIG_KEXEC means whether
the kexec_load system call should be compiled-in and CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE
means whether the kexec_file_load system call should be compiled-in.
These options can be set independently from each other.
Since until now powerpc only supported kexec_load, CONFIG_KEXEC and
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE were synonyms. That is not the case anymore, so we
need to make a distinction. Almost all places where CONFIG_KEXEC was
being used should be using CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead, since
kexec_file_load also needs that code compiled in.

Currently we turn the MMU off after copying the image, and we make
sure there is no overlap between the hash table and the target pages
in that case.
That doesn't work for Radix however. In that case, the page tables
are scattered and we can't really enforce that the target of the
image isn't overlapping one of them.
So instead, let's turn the MMU off before copying the image in radix
mode. Thankfully, in radix mode, even under a hypervisor, we know we
don't have the same kind of RMA limitations that hash mode has.
While at it, also turn the MMU off early when using hash in non-LPAR
mode, that way we can get rid of the collision check completely.

We're approaching 20 locations where we need to check for ELF ABI v2.
That's fine, except the logic is a bit awkward, because we have to check

So check it once in asm/types.h and define PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 when ELF ABI
v2 is detected.
We also have a few places where what we're really trying to check is
that we are using the 64-bit v1 ABI, ie. function descriptors. So also

PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in
powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally
local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus
it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against
.TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and
indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel
value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value.
This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks
modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle
the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined.
Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2
would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case
the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the
kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated.
mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes
the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with
MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be
loaded due to there being no version found for TOC.

Nowadays, irq_exit() calls __do_softirq() pretty much directly
instead of calling do_softirq() which switches to the decicated
softirq stack.
This has lead to observed stack overflows on powerpc since we call
irq_enter() and irq_exit() outside of the scope that switches to
the irq stack.
This fixes it by moving the stack switching up a level, making
irq_enter() and irq_exit() run off the irq stack.

We have a bunch of CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_* options that are intended
for bringup/debug only. They hard wire a machine specific udbg backend
very early on (before we even probe the platform), and use whatever
tricks are available on each machine/cpu to be able to get some kind
of output out there early on.
So far, on powermac with no serial ports, we have CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_BOOTX
to use the low-level btext engine on the screen, but it doesn't do much, at
least on 64-bit. It only really gets enabled after the platform has been
probed and the MMU enabled.
This adds a way to enable it much earlier. From prom_init.c (while still
running with Open Firmware), we grab the screen details and set things up
using the physical address of the frame buffer.
Then btext itself uses the "rm_ci" feature of the 970 processor (Real
Mode Cache Inhibited) to access it while in real mode.
We need to do a little bit of reorg of the btext code to inline things
better, in order to limit how much we touch memory while in this mode as
the consequences might be ... interesting.
This successfully allowed me to debug problems early on with the G5
(related to gold being broken vs. ppc64 kernels).

Commit 1fc711f7ff (powerpc/kexec: Fix race
in kexec shutdown) moved the write to signal the cpu had exited the kernel
from before the transition to real mode in kexec_smp_wait to kexec_wait.
Unfornately it missed that kexec_wait is used both by cpus leaving the
kernel and by secondary slave cpus that were not allocated a paca for
what ever reason -- they could be beyond nr_cpus or not described in
the current device tree for whatever reason (for example, kexec-load
was not refreshed after a cpu hotplug operation). Cpus coming through
that path they will write to paca[NR_CPUS] which is beyond the space
allocated for the paca data and overwrite memory not allocated to pacas
but very likely still real mode accessable).
Move the write back to kexec_smp_wait, which is used only by cpus that
found their paca, but after the transition to real mode.

In kexec_prepare_cpus, the primary CPU IPIs the secondary CPUs to
kexec_smp_down(). kexec_smp_down() calls kexec_smp_wait() which sets
the hw_cpu_id() to -1. The primary does this while leaving IRQs on
which means the primary can take a timer interrupt which can lead to
the IPIing one of the secondary CPUs (say, for a scheduler re-balance)
but since the secondary CPU now has a hw_cpu_id = -1, we IPI CPU
-1... Kaboom!
We are hitting this case regularly on POWER7 machines.
There is also a second race, where the primary will tear down the MMU
mappings before knowing the secondaries have entered real mode.
Also, the secondaries are clearing out any pending IPIs before
guaranteeing that no more will be received.
This changes kexec_prepare_cpus() so that we turn off IRQs in the
primary CPU much earlier. It adds a paca flag to say that the
secondaries have entered the kexec_smp_down() IPI and turned off IRQs,
rather than overloading hw_cpu_id with -1. This new paca flag is
again used to in indicate when the secondaries has entered real mode.
It also ensures that all CPUs have their IRQs off before we clear out
any pending IPI requests (in kexec_cpu_down()) to ensure there are no
trailing IPIs left unacknowledged.

VSX instruction before the next FP instruction, and not have its
register state refreshed correctly from the thread_struct. Ditto for
altivec.
This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs results in
fix_alignment calling giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs (in order to
do a single <-> double conversion), and then returning to userspace
with FP off but VSX on. Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before
another FP instruction, it will proceed without another exception and
hence have the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31.
lfs unaligned <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on
VSX instruction <- no exception since VSX on, hence we get the

which overlap the FPRs.

Commit 54622f10a6 ("powerpc: Support for
relocatable kdump kernel") added a magic flag value in a register to
tell purgatory that it should be a panic kernel. This part is wrong
and is reverted by this commit.
The kernel gets a list of memory blocks and a entry point from user space.
Its job is to copy the blocks into place and then branch to the designated
entry point (after turning "off" the mmu).
The user space tool inserts a trampoline, called purgatory, that runs
before the user supplied code. Its job is to establish the entry
environment for the new kernel or other application based on the contents
of memory. The purgatory code is compiled and embedded in the tool,
where it is later patched using the elf symbol table using elf symbols.
Since the tool knows it is creating a purgatory that will run after a
kernel crash, it should just patch purgatory (or the kernel directly)
if something needs to happen.

This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can
use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234)
is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence
and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between
kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels.
The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in
head_64.S. During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it
is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel
will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the
address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter.
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump
kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and
kdump kernel.

The kernel doesn't know exactly which slaves are spinning in
