This is a nice cleanup, arch/powerpc/Makefile is long and messy so
moving this out helps a little.
It also allows us to do:
$ make arch/powerpc
Which can be helpful if you just want to compile test some changes to
arch code and not link everything.
Finally it also gives us a single place to do subdir-cc-flags
assignments which affect the whole of arch/powerpc, which we will do
in a future patch.

Ever since commit 15a3204d24 ("powerpc/64s: Set assembler machine type
to POWER4") we force -mpower4 to be passed to the assembler
irrespective of the CFLAGS used (for Book3s 64).
When building a powerpc64 kernel with clang, clang will not add -many
to the assembler flags, so any instructions that the compiler has
generated that are not available on power4 will cause an error:
/usr/bin/as -a64 -mppc64 -mlittle-endian -mpower8 \
-I ./arch/powerpc/include -I ./arch/powerpc/include/generated \
-I ./include -I ./arch/powerpc/include/uapi \
-I ./arch/powerpc/include/generated/uapi -I ./include/uapi \
-I ./include/generated/uapi -I arch/powerpc -I arch/powerpc \
-maltivec -mpower4 -o init/do_mounts.o /tmp/do_mounts-3b0a3d.s
/tmp/do_mounts-51ce54.s:748: Error: unrecognized opcode: `isel'
GCC does include -many, so the GCC driven gas call will succeed:
as -v -I ./arch/powerpc/include -I ./arch/powerpc/include/generated -I
./include -I ./arch/powerpc/include/uapi
-I ./arch/powerpc/include/generated/uapi -I ./include/uapi
-I ./include/generated/uapi -I arch/powerpc -I arch/powerpc
-a64 -mpower8 -many -mlittle -maltivec -mpower4 -o init/do_mounts.o
Note that isel is power7 and above for IBM CPUs. GCC only generates it
for Power9 and above, but the above test was run against the clang
generated assembly.
Peter Bergner explains:
When using -many -mpower4, gas will first try and find a matching
power4 mnemonic and failing that, it will then allow any valid
mnemonic that gas knows about. GCC's use of -many predates me
though.
IIRC, Alan looked at trying to remove it, but I forget why he
didn't. Could be either a gcc or gas issue at the time. I'm not sure
whether issue still exists or not. He and I have modified how gas
works internally a fair amount since he tried removing gcc use of
-many.
I will also note that when using -many, gas will choose the first
mnemonic that matches in the mnemonic table and we have (mostly)
sorted the table so that server mnemonics show up earlier in the
table than other mnemonics, so they'll be seen/chosen first.
By explicitly setting -many we can build with Clang and GCC while
retaining the -mpower4 option.

This functionality was tentatively added in the past
(commit 6533b7c16e ("powerpc: Initial stack protector

(commit f2574030b0 ("powerpc: Revert the initial stack
protector support") because of GCC implementing it differently
whether it had been built with libc support or not.
Now, GCC offers the possibility to manually set the
stack-protector mode (global or tls) regardless of libc support.
This time, the patch selects HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR only if
-mstack-protector-guard=tls is supported by GCC.
On PPC32, as register r2 points to current task_struct at
all time, the stack_canary located inside task_struct can be
used directly by using the following GCC options:
-mstack-protector-guard=tls
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=r2
-mstack-protector-guard-offset=offsetof(struct task_struct, stack_canary))
The protector is disabled for prom_init and bootx_init as
it is too early to handle it properly.

There is nothing arch specific about building dtb files other than their
location under /arch/*/boot/dts/. Keeping each arch aligned is a pain.
The dependencies and supported targets are all slightly different.
Also, a cross-compiler for each arch is needed, but really the host
compiler preprocessor is perfectly fine for building dtbs. Move the
build rules to a common location and remove the arch specific ones. This
is done in a single step to avoid warnings about overriding rules.
The build dependencies had been a mixture of 'scripts' and/or 'prepare'.
These pull in several dependencies some of which need a target compiler
(specifically devicetable-offsets.h) and aren't needed to build dtbs.
All that is really needed is dtc, so adjust the dependencies to only be
dtc.
This change enables support 'dtbs_install' on some arches which were
missing the target.

Align powerpc with other architectures which build the dtb files in the
same directory as the dts files. This is also in line with most other

This move will help enable the 'dtbs' target which builds all the dtbs

Some 64-bit toolchains uses the wrong ISA variant for compiling 32-bit
kernels, even with -m32. Debian's powerpc64le is one such case, and
that is because it is built with --with-cpu=power8.
So when cross compiling a 32-bit kernel with a 64-bit toolchain, set
-mcpu=powerpc initially, which is the generic 32-bit powerpc machine
type and scheduling model. CPU and platform code can override this
with subsequent -mcpu flags if necessary.
This is not done for 32-bit toolchains otherwise it would override
their defaults, which are presumably set appropriately for the
environment (moreso than a 64-bit cross compiler).
This fixes a lot of build failures due to incompatible assembly when
compiling 32-bit kernel with the Debian powerpc64le 64-bit toolchain.

powerpc64 gcc can generate code that offsets an address, to access
part of an object in memory. If the address is a -mcmodel=medium toc
pointer relative address then code like the following is possible.
addis r9,r2,var@toc@ha
ld r3,var@toc@l(r9)
ld r4,(var+8)@toc@l(r9)
This works fine so long as var is naturally aligned, *and* r2 is
sufficiently aligned. If not, there is a possibility that the offset
added to access var+8 wraps over a n*64k+32k boundary. Modules don't
have any guarantee that r2 is sufficiently aligned. Moreover, code
generated by older compilers generates a .toc section with 2**0
alignment, which can result in relocation failures at module load time
even without the wrap problem.
Thus, this patch links modules with an aligned .toc section (Makefile
and module.lds changes), and forces alignment for out of tree modules
or those without a .toc section (module_64.c changes).

In commit efe0160cfd ("powerpc/64: Linker on-demand sfpr functions
for modules"), we added an ld version check early in the powerpc
top-level Makefile.
Because the Makefile runs before the kernel config is setup, the
checks for CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN etc. all take the default case. So
we end up configuring ld for 32-bit big endian.
That would be OK, except that for historical (or perhaps no) reason,
we use 'override LD' to add the endian flags to the LD variable
itself, rather than the normal approach of adding them to LDFLAGS.
The end result is that when we check the ld version we run it as:
$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld -EB -m elf32ppc --version
This often works, unless you are using a 64-bit only and/or little
endian only, toolchain. In which case you see something like:
$ make defconfig
powerpc64le-linux-ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf32ppc
Supported emulations: elf64lppc elf32lppc elf32lppclinux elf32lppcsim
/bin/sh: 1: [: -ge: unexpected operator
The proper fix is to stop using 'override LD', but that will require a
fair bit of testing. Instead we can fix it for now just by reordering
the Makefile to do the version check earlier.

based on the default endianness of the toolchain. Alan Modra says:

The opposite is true for powerpc64 when generating -mlittle it

Back in 2005 when the ppc/ppc64 merge started, we used to build the
kernel code in arch/powerpc but use the boot code from arch/ppc or
arch/ppc64 depending on whether we were building for 32 or 64-bit.
Originally we called the boot Makefile passing ARCH=$(OLDARCH), where
OLDARCH was ppc or ppc64.
In commit 20f629549b ("powerpc: Make building the boot image work for
both 32-bit and 64-bit") (2005-10-11) we split the call for 32/64-bit
using an ifeq check, because the two Makefiles took different targets,
and explicitly passed ARCH=ppc64 for the 64-bit case and ARCH=ppc for
the 32-bit case.
Then in commit 94b212c29f ("powerpc: Move ppc64 boot wrapper code over
to arch/powerpc") (2005-11-16) we moved the boot code into arch/powerpc
and dropped the ppc case, but kept passing ARCH=ppc64 to
arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile.
Since then there have been several more boot targets added, all of which
have copied the ARCH=ppc64 setting, such that now we have four targets
using it.
Currently it seems that nothing actually uses the ARCH value, but that's
basically just luck, and in particular it prevents us from using the
generic cpp_lds_S rule. It's also clearly wrong, ARCH=ppc64 is dead,
buried and cremated.
Fix it by dropping the setting of ARCH completely, the correct value is
exported by the top level Makefile.

Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
When we're not compiling for a specific CPU, ie. none of the
CONFIG_POWERx_CPU options are set, and CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU *is* set, we
currently don't pass any -mcpu option to the compiler. This means the
compiler builds for a "generic" Power CPU.
But back in 2014 we dropped support for pre power4 CPUs in commit
468a33028e ("powerpc: Drop support for pre-POWER4 cpus").
Given that, there's no point in building the kernel to run on pre power4
cpus. So update the flags we pass to the compiler when
CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is set, to specify -mcpu=power4.

But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it.
So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and
tile. It is also easier to spell and simpler, avoiding any confusion
about whether it's defined due to ordering of make vs kconfig.

In fact it makes no sense at all to have this defined on little endian
builds. Since we disabled the 32-bit VDSO on little endian, we don't
build any 32-bit code when building a little endian kernel.
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
When we introduced the little endian support, we added the endian flags
to CC directly using override. I don't know the history of why we did
that, I suspect no one does.
Although this mostly works, it has one bug, which is that CROSS32CC
doesn't get -mbig-endian. That means when the compiler is little endian
by default and the user is building big endian, vdso32 is incorrectly
compiled as little endian and the kernel fails to build.
Instead we can add the endian flags to cflags-y/aflags-y, and then
append those to KBUILD_CFLAGS/KBUILD_AFLAGS.
This has the advantage of being 1) less ugly, 2) the documented way of
adding flags in the arch Makefile and 3) it fixes building vdso32 with a
LE toolchain.

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.

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

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

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.
