Freescale updates from Scott:
"Highlights include 8xx optimizations, 32-bit checksum optimizations,
86xx consolidation, e5500/e6500 cpu hotplug, more fman and other dt
bits, and minor fixes/cleanup."
Firstly we add logic to Kconfig to allow a user to choose if they want
mprofile-kernel. This has to be user-selectable because only some
current toolchains support it. If we enabled it unconditionally we would
prevent some users from building the kernel entirely.
Arguably it would be nice if we could detect if mprofile-kernel was
available, and use it then. However that would violate the principle of
least surprise because a user having choosen options such as live
patching, would then see them quietly disabled at build time.
We also make the user selectable option negative, ie. it disables when
selected, so that allyesconfig continues to build on old toolchains.
Once we've decided we do want to use mprofile-kernel, we then add a
script which checks it actually works. That is because there are
versions of gcc that accept the flag but don't generate correct code.
Due to the way kconfig works, we can't error out when we detect a
non-working toolchain. If we did a user would never be able to modify
their config and run oldconfig - because the check would block oldconfig
from running. Instead we emit a warning and add a bogus flag to CFLAGS
so that the build will fail.

The TUNE_CELL option allows you to build a kernel that runs on multiple
CPUs but is tuned (ie. optimised) to run on Cell CPUs. Now days no one
is building a distro in that fashion, and any users who are building
custom kernels for their Cell machines are better off building with
CONFIG_CELL_CPU, which builds a kernel that only runs on Cell and
therefore can be optimised even more aggresively.
Dropping the option also avoids confusing other users, who are presented
with an option to tune for Cell when they are not building for a Cell
CPU at all.

Unify mpc85xx and corenet configs using fragments, to ease maintenance

Rather than continuing to maintain a copy of pseries_defconfig with
CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN enabled, use the generic merge_config script
and use an le.config to enable little endian on top of pseries_defconfig
without the need for a duplicated _defconfig file.
This method will require less maintenance in the future and will ensure
that both 'defconfigs' are always in sync.
It is worth noting that the seemingly more simple approach of:
pseries_le_defconfig: pseries_defconfig
$(Q)$(MAKE) le.config
Will not work when building using O=builddir.
The obvious fix to that:
pseries_le_defconfig:
$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile pseries_defconfig le.config
Also does not work. This is because if we have for example:
config FOO
depends on CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
select BAR
Then BAR will be enabled by the first call to kconfig (via
pseries_defconfig), and then will remain enabled after we merge
le.config, even though FOO will have been turned off.
The solution is to ensure to only invoke the kconfig logic once, after
we have merged all the config fragments. This ensures nothing is
select'ed on that should then be disabled by the later merged configs.
This is done through the explicit call to make olddefconfig

We have several checks for bad gcc versions in our Makefile. These don't
apply if we're building with clang, so skip them in that case.
The obvious check would be for ${COMPILER} = "gcc", but because of the
way the logic in the top level Makefile conditionally sets COMPILER,
it's possible that we're building with gcc but COMPILER was not set.
So instead check for ${COMPILER} != "clang", which we know is currently
the only other possibility.

The assembler maintainer says:
I changed the ABI, something that had to be done but unfortunately
happens to break the booke kernel code. When building up a 64-bit
value with lis, ori, shl, oris, ori or similar sequences, you now
should use @high and @higha in place of @h and @ha. @h and @ha
(and their associated relocs R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI and R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA)
now report overflow if the value is out of 32-bit signed range.
ie. @h and @ha assume you're building a 32-bit value. This is needed
to report out-of-range -mcmodel=medium toc pointer offsets in @toc@h
and @toc@ha expressions, and for consistency I did the same for all
other @h and @ha relocs.
Replacing @h with @high in one strategic location fixes the relocation
errors. This has to be done conditionally since the assembler either
supports @h or @high but not both.

The ppc64 ABI has a static chain register (r11) which is only used
when calling nested functions through a pointer. Considering that
we take a dim view of nested functions in the kernel, we have a lot
of unnecessary overhead here.
gcc 4.7 has an option to disable loading of r11 so lets use it.
If hell freezes over and hipsters manage to litter the kernel
with nested functions, gcc will give us an error message and
won't simply compile bad code:
You cannot take the address of a nested function if you use
the -mno-pointers-to-nested-functions option.
Furthermore our kernel module trampolines don't setup the static
chain register so adding this option and forcing gcc to error out
makes even more sense.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.
Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:
# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.

The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means
our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do
this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of
variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a
RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it.
32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c
with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually.
Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would
have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a
large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data).
The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates
more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot.
Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even
if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC.
This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of
prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to
process which helps keep boot times on simulators down.
gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be
safe we may want a build time script which passes through the
prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.

The last 3 relocations in the above list depends on value of Symbol indexed
