Mike Galbraith reported a situation where a WARN_ON_ONCE() call in DRM
code turned into an oops. As it turns out, WARN_ON_ONCE() seems to be
completely broken when called from a module.
The bug was introduced with the following commit:
19d436268d ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")
That commit changed WARN_ON_ONCE() to move its 'once' logic into the bug
trap handler. It requires a writable bug table so that the BUGFLAG_DONE
bit can be written to the flags to indicate the first warning has
occurred.
The bug table was made writable for vmlinux, which relies on
vmlinux.lds.S and vmlinux.lds.h for laying out the sections. However,
it wasn't made writable for modules, which rely on the ELF section
header flags.

When trapped on WARN_ON(), report_bug() is expected to return
BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN so the caller will increment NIP by 4 and continue.
The __builtin_constant_p() path of the PPC's WARN_ON()
calls (indirectly) __WARN_FLAGS() which has BUGFLAG_WARNING set,
however the other branch does not which makes report_bug() report a
bug rather than a warning.

Josh suggested moving the _ONCE logic inside the trap handler, using a
bit in the bug_entry::flags field, avoiding the need for the extra
variable.
Sadly this only works for WARN_ON_ONCE(), since the others have
printk() statements prior to triggering the trap.
Still, this saves a fair amount of text and some data:

WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that
are then worked-around. These bugs do not affect the stability of the
kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN. To allow for this,
add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number
as argument.
Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead
of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint)
instead of __WARN().

Instead of not defining it at all, this defines the macro as
being empty, thus avoiding ifdef's in call sites when CONFIG_BUG
is not set.
Also removes an extra whitespace in the existing definition.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
