37dd2badcf [POWERPC] 85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and booting at non-zero)
Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical
address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and
kdump).  The support can be configured at compile time by setting
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as
desired.

Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE.  Setting this
config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical
addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START.  If
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning.
However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program
header physical address field in the resulting ELF image.

Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a
multiple of 256M.  This is due to how we map TLBs to cover
lowmem.  This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment
in the future.  It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a
non-aligned physical address.

All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization
of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET.

The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings.
ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET.

/dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system
regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

99c62dd773 [POWERPC] Remove and replace uses of PPC_MEMSTART with memstart_addr
A number of users of PPC_MEMSTART (40x, ppc_mmu_32) can just always
use 0 as we don't support booting these kernels at non-zero physical
addresses since their exception vectors must be at 0 (or 0xfffx_xxxx).

For the sub-arches that support relocatable interrupt vectors
(book-e), it's reasonable to have memory start at a non-zero physical
address.  For those cases use the variable memstart_addr instead of
the #define PPC_MEMSTART since the only uses of PPC_MEMSTART are for
initialization and in the future we can set memstart_addr at runtime
to have a relocatable kernel.

516c25a86f Cleanup asm/{elf,page,user}.h: #ifdef __KERNEL__ is no longer needed
asm/elf.h, asm/page.h and asm/user.h don't export to userspace now, so we can
drop #ifdef __KERNEL__ for them.

52142e756e [POWERPC] Fix kmalloc alignment on non-coherent DMA platforms
On platforms doing non-coherent DMA (4xx, 8xx, ...), it's important
that the kmalloc minimum alignment is set to the cache line size, to
avoid sharing cache lines between different objects, so that DMA to
one of the objects doesn't corrupt the other.

0aeafb0cef [POWERPC] Kill off the PTE_FMT macro
32-bit powerpc uses a PTE_FMT macro to handle printk() formatting of
PTE entries (which can vary in type and size).  Apparently there was a
good reason for it once, but with current compilers it's simpler just
to workaround the variation with a cast in the printk() itself
(there's only one use).

88ced03149 [PATCH] powerpc: sanitize header files for user space includes
include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that
are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does
not have this yet.

This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases
where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified
that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__
any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when
including any of the headers in user space libraries.

Merge asm-ppc/page.h and asm-ppc64/page.h into asm-powerpc/page.h,
asm-powerpc/page_32.h and asm-powerpc/page_64.h

Built for PPC (common_defconfig), with ARCH=powerpc, mostly built with
ARCH=ppc (other things break the build). Built and booted on P5 LPAR
for PPC64 with ARCH=ppc/powerpc (pseries_defconfig). Mostly built for
iSeries powerpc.
