All code that patches kernel text has been moved over to using
patch_instruction() and patch_instruction() is able to cope with the
kernel text being read only.
The linker script has been updated to ensure the read only data ends
on a large page boundary, so it and the preceding kernel text can be
marked R_X. We also have implementations of mark_rodata_ro() for Hash
and Radix MMU modes.
There are some corner-cases missing when the kernel is built
relocatable, so for now make it depend on !RELOCATABLE.
There's also a temporary workaround to depend on !HIBERNATION to avoid
a build failure, that will be removed once we've merged with the PM
tree.

The Radix linear mapping code (create_physical_mapping()) tries to use
the largest page size it can at each step. Currently the only reason
it steps down to a smaller page size is if the start addr is
unaligned (never happens in practice), or the end of memory is not
aligned to a huge page boundary.
To support STRICT_RWX we need to break the mapping at __init_begin,
so that the text and rodata prior to that can be marked R_X and the
regular pages after can be marked RW.
Having done that we can now implement mark_rodata_ro() for Radix,
knowing that we won't need to split any mappings.

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).

This patch creates the window using text_poke_area, allocated via
get_vm_area(). text_poke_area is per CPU to avoid locking.
text_poke_area for each cpu is setup using late_initcall, prior to
setup of these alternate mapping areas, we continue to use direct
write to change/modify kernel text. With the ability to use alternate
mappings to write to kernel text, it provides us the freedom to then
turn text read-only and implement CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.
This code is CPU hotplug aware to ensure that the we have mappings for
any new cpus as they come online and tear down mappings for any CPUs

Commit 9abcc981de ("powerpc/mm/radix: Only add X for pages
overlapping kernel text") changed the linear mapping on Radix to only
mark the kernel text executable.
However if the kernel is run relocated, for example as a kdump kernel,
then the exception vectors are split from the kernel text, ie. they
remain at real address 0.
We tend to get away with it, because the kernel itself will usually be
below 1G, which means the 1G page at 0-1G is marked executable and
everything works OK. However if the kernel is loaded above 1G, or the
system has less than 1G in total (meaning we can't use a 1G page),
then the exception vectors will not be marked executable and the
kernel will fail to boot.
Fix it by also checking if the address range overlaps the exception
vectors when deciding if we should add PAGE_KERNEL_X.

Once upon a time there were only two PP (page protection) bits. In ISA
2.03 an additional PP bit was added, but because of the layout of the
HPTE it could not be made contiguous with the existing PP bits.
The result is that we now have three PP bits, named pp0, pp1, pp2,
where pp0 occupies bit 63 of dword 1 of the HPTE and pp1 and pp2
occupy bits 1 and 0 respectively. Until recently Linux hasn't used
pp0, however with the addition of _PAGE_KERNEL_RO we started using it.
The problem arises in the LPAR code, where we need to translate the PP
bits into the argument for the H_PROTECT hypercall. Currently the code
only passes bits 0-2 of newpp, which covers pp1, pp2 and N (no
execute), meaning pp0 is not passed to the hypervisor at all.
We can't simply pass it through in bit 63, as that would collide with a
different field in the flags argument, as defined in PAPR. Instead we
have to shift it down to bit 8 (IBM bit 55).

pnv_wakeup_noloss() expects r12 to contain SRR1 value to determine if the wakeup
reason is an HMI in CHECK_HMI_INTERRUPT.
When we wakeup with ESL=0, SRR1 will not contain the wakeup reason, so there is
no point setting r12 to SRR1.
However, we don't set r12 at all so r12 contains garbage (likely a kernel
pointer), and is still used to check HMI assuming that it contained SRR1. This
causes the OPAL msglog to be filled with the following print:
HMI: Received HMI interrupt: HMER = 0x0040000000000000
This patch clears r12 after waking up from stop with ESL=EC=0, so that we don't
accidentally enter the HMI handler in pnv_wakeup_noloss() if the value of
r12[42:45] corresponds to HMI as wakeup reason.
Prior to commit 9d29250136 ("powerpc/64s/idle: Avoid SRR usage in idle

to check for a HMI when SRR1 didn't contain a wakeup reason. However the SRR1

Around 95% of memory is reserved by fadump/capture kernel. All this
memory is freed, one page at a time, on writing '1' to the node
/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem. On systems with large memory, this
can take a long time to complete, leading to soft lockup warning
messages. To avoid this, add reschedule points at regular intervals.
Also, while memblock_reserve() implicitly takes care of holes in the
given memory range while reserving memory, those holes need to be
taken care of while releasing memory as memory is freed one page at
a time. Add support to skip holes while releasing memory.

To register fadump, boot memory area - the size of low memory chunk that
is required for a kernel to boot successfully when booted with restricted
memory, is assumed to have no holes. But this memory area is currently
not protected from hot-remove operations. So, fadump could fail to
re-register after a memory hot-remove operation, if memory is removed
from boot memory area. To avoid this, ensure that memory from boot
memory area is not hot-removed when fadump is registered.
