It is inconvenient to add additional default targets to the bootwrapper
Makefile for each new board supported which just needs a different dts
file. This change allows the defconfig to specify additional build
targets.

The following changes add processing to initialize the Xilinx 16550 UART

This correctly hooks the VSX dump into Roland McGrath core file
infrastructure. It adds the VSX dump information as an additional elf
note in the core file (after talking more to the tool chain/gdb guys).
This also ensures the formats are consistent between signals, ptrace
and core files.

Currently when a 32 bit process is exec'd on a powerpc 64 bit host the
value in the top three bytes of the personality is clobbered. patch
adds a check in the SET_PERSONALITY macro that will carry all the
values in the top three bytes across the exec.
These three bytes currently carry flags to disable address randomisation,
limit the address space, force zeroing of an mmapped page, etc. Should an
application set any of these bits they will be maintained and honoured on
homogeneous environment but discarded and ignored on a heterogeneous
environment. So if an application requires all mmapped pages to be initialised
to zero and a wrapper is used to setup the personality and exec the target,
these flags will remain set on an all 32 or all 64 bit envrionment, but they
will be lost in the exec on a mixed 32/64 bit environment. Losing these bits
means that the same application would behave differently in different
environments. Tested on a POWER5+ machine with 64bit kernel and a mixed
64/32 bit user space.

compilation warnings
When compiling kernel modules for ppc that include <linux/spinlock.h>,
gcc prints a warning message every time it encounters a function
declaration where the inline keyword appears after the return type.
This makes sure that the order of the inline keyword and the return
type is as gcc expects it. Additionally, the __inline__ keyword is

The implementation of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() directly calls
ptep_set_wrprotect() to mark a hugepte write protected. However this
call is not appropriate on ppc64 kernels as this is a small page only
implementation. This can lead to the hash not being flushed correctly
when a mapping is being converted to COW, allowing processes to continue
using the original copy.
Currently huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() unconditionally calls
ptep_set_wrprotect(). This is fine on ppc32 kernels as this call is
generic. On 64 bit this is implemented as:
pte_update(mm, addr, ptep, _PAGE_RW, 0);
On ppc64 this last parameter is the page size and is passed directly on
to hpte_need_flush():
hpte_need_flush(mm, addr, ptep, old, huge);
And this directly affects the page size we pass to flush_hash_page():
flush_hash_page(vaddr, rpte, psize, ssize, 0);
As this changes the way the hash is calculated we will flush the wrong
pages, potentially leaving live hashes to the original page.
Move the definition of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() to the 32/64 bit specific
headers.

DMA buffer
On PowerPC processors with non-coherent cache architectures the DMA
subsystem calls invalidate_dcache_range() before performing a DMA read
operation. If the address and length of the DMA buffer are not aligned
to a cache-line boundary this can result in memory outside of the DMA
buffer being invalidated in the cache. If this memory has an
uncommitted store then the data will be lost and a subsequent read of
that address will result in an old value being returned from main memory.
Only when the DMA buffer starts on a cache-line boundary and is an exact
mutiple of the cache-line size can invalidate_dcache_range() be called,
otherwise flush_dcache_range() must be called. flush_dcache_range()
will first flush uncommitted writes, and then invalidate the cache.

This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available. This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.
Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.
The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers. Backward
compatibility is maintained.
The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.

VSX has 64 128bit registers. The first 32 regs overlap with the FP
registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits. The
second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers.
This commit introduces the thread_struct changes required to reflect
this register layout. Ptrace and signals code is updated so that the
floating point registers are correctly accessed from the thread_struct
when CONFIG_VSX is enabled.

Currently we set the start of the .text section to be 4Mb for pSeries.
In situations where the zImage is > 8Mb we'll fail to boot (due to
overlapping with OF). Move .text in a zImage from 4MB to 64MB
(well past OF).
We still will not be able to load large zImage unless we also move OF,
to that end, add a note to the zImage ELF to move OF to 32Mb. If this
is the very first kernel booted then we'll need to move OF manually by
setting real-base.

This commit adds tests of the feature fixup code, they are run during
boot if CONFIG_FTR_FIXUP_SELFTEST=y. Some of the tests manually invoke
the patching routines to check their behaviour, and others use the
macros and so are patched during the normal patching done during boot.
Because we have two sets of macros with different names, we use a macro
to generate the test of the macros, very niiiice.

The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means
if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both
cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 1,1,1
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO)
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 2,2,2
END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO)
and the resulting code will be either,
or 1,1,1
nop
or,
nop
or 2,2,2
For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in
performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops.
This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 1,1,1
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
or 2,2,2
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO)
and the resulting code will be:
or 1,1,1
or,
or 2,2,2
We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature
section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty
we nop out the default case.
The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or
equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the
remainder of the section is nop'ed.
We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text,
so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link,
this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases.
This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but
does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.
We also need to update two hand-made section entries in reg.h and timex.h

Currently we have three versions of MAKE_FTR_SECTION_ENTRY(), the macro that
generates a feature section entry. There is 64bit version, a 32bit version
and version for 32bit code built with a 64bit kernel.
Rather than triplicating (?) the MAKE_FTR_SECTION_ENTRY() logic, we can
move the 64bit/32bit differences into separate macros, and then only have
one version of MAKE_FTR_SECTION_ENTRY().

If you pass a target value to create_branch() which is more than 32MB - 4,
or - 32MB away from the branch site, then it's impossible to create an
immediate branch. The current code doesn't check, which will lead to us
creating a branch to somewhere else - which is bad.
For code that cares to check we return 0, which is easy to check for, and
for code that doesn't at least we'll be creating an illegal instruction,
rather than a branch to some random address.

Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and
patches it into the call site. In some circumstances it would be nice
to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some
code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before
doing the patching. A future commit will change create_branch() to
check for errors.
For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with
patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly.
While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *,
as this seems to match usage better. That allows (and requires) us to
remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and
mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as
an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change
across the patch_branch() call.

This makes two changes:
* As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch
b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b, alloc_bootmem never returns NULL
and always returns a zeroed region of memory. Thus the error checking code
and memset after the call to alloc_bootmem are not necessary.
* The old error handling code consisted of setting a global variable to
NULL and returning an error code, which could cause previously allocated
resources never to be freed. The patch adds calls to appropriate resource
deallocation functions.
