When enabling CONFIG_RELOCATABLE and CONFIG_KASAN on FSL_BOOKE,
the kernel doesn't boot.
relocate_init() requires KASAN early shadow area to be set up because
it needs access to the device tree through generic functions.
Call kasan_early_init() before calling relocate_init()

This patch add support to boot kernel from places other than KERNELBASE.
Since CONFIG_RELOCATABLE has already supported, what we need to do is
map or copy kernel to a proper place and relocate. Freescale Book-E
parts expect lowmem to be mapped by fixed TLB entries(TLB1). The TLB1
entries are not suitable to map the kernel directly in a randomized
region, so we chose to copy the kernel to a proper place and restart to
relocate.
The offset of the kernel was not randomized yet(a fixed 64M is set). We
will randomize it in the next patch.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
"This is a frustratingly large batch at rc5. Some of these were sent
earlier but were missed by me due to being distracted by other things,
and some took a while to track down due to needing manual bisection on
old hardware. But still we clearly need to improve our testing of KVM,
and of 32-bit, so that we catch these earlier.
Summary: seven fixes, all for bugs introduced this cycle.
- The commit to add KASAN support broke booting on 32-bit SMP
machines, due to a refactoring that moved some setup out of the
secondary CPU path.
- A fix for another 32-bit SMP bug introduced by the fast syscall
entry implementation for 32-bit BOOKE. And a build fix for the same
commit.
- Our change to allow the DAWR to be force enabled on Power9
introduced a bug in KVM, where we clobber r3 leading to a host
crash.
- The same commit also exposed a previously unreachable bug in the
nested KVM handling of DAWR, which could lead to an oops in a
nested host.
- One of the DMA reworks broke the b43legacy WiFi driver on some
people's powermacs, fix it by enabling a 30-bit ZONE_DMA on 32-bit.
- A fix for TLB flushing in KVM introduced a new bug, as it neglected
to also flush the ERAT, this could lead to memory corruption in the
guest.
Thanks to: Aaro Koskinen, Christoph Hellwig, Christophe Leroy, Larry
Finger, Michael Neuling, Suraj Jitindar Singh"

This patch implements a fast entry for syscalls.
Syscalls don't have to preserve non volatile registers except LR.
This patch then implement a fast entry for syscalls, where
volatile registers get clobbered.
As this entry is dedicated to syscall it always sets MSR_EE
and warns in case MSR_EE was previously off
It also assumes that the call is always from user, system calls are
unexpected from kernel.

This patch adds KASAN support for PPC32. The following patch
will add an early activation of hash table for book3s. Until
then, a warning will be raised if trying to use KASAN on an
hash 6xx.
To support KASAN, this patch initialises that MMU mapings for
accessing to the KASAN shadow area defined in a previous patch.
An early mapping is set as soon as the kernel code has been
relocated at its definitive place.
Then the definitive mapping is set once paging is initialised.
For modules, the shadow area is allocated at module_alloc().

Now that thread_info is similar to task_struct, its address is in r2
so CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro is useless. This patch removes it.
This patch also moves the 'tovirt(r2, r2)' down just before the
reactivation of MMU translation, so that we keep the physical address
of 'current' in r2 until then. It avoids a few calls to tophys().
At the same time, as the 'cpu' field is not anymore in thread_info,
TI_CPU is renamed TASK_CPU by this patch.
It also allows to get rid of a couple of
'#ifdef CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE' as ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY()
and ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_EXIT() are empty when
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE is not defined.

The table of pointers 'current_set' has been used for retrieving
the stack and current. They used to be thread_info pointers as
they were pointing to the stack and current was taken from the
'task' field of the thread_info.
Now, the pointers of 'current_set' table are now both pointers
to task_struct and pointers to thread_info.
As they are used to get current, and the stack pointer is
retrieved from current's stack field, this patch changes
their type to task_struct, and renames secondary_ti to
secondary_current.

This patch activates CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK which
moves the thread_info into task_struct.
Moving thread_info into task_struct has the following advantages:
- It protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack
overflows.
- Its address is harder to determine if stack addresses are leaked,
making a number of attacks more difficult.
This has the following consequences:
- thread_info is now located at the beginning of task_struct.
- The 'cpu' field is now in task_struct, and only exists when
CONFIG_SMP is active.
- thread_info doesn't have anymore the 'task' field.
This patch:
- Removes all recopy of thread_info struct when the stack changes.
- Changes the CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro to point to current.
- Selects CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK.
- Modifies raw_smp_processor_id() to get ->cpu from current without
including linux/sched.h to avoid circular inclusion and without
including asm/asm-offsets.h to avoid symbol names duplication
between ASM constants and C constants.
- Modifies klp_init_thread_info() to take a task_struct pointer
argument.

When booting above the 64M for a secondary cpu, we also face the
same issue as the boot cpu that the PAGE_OFFSET map two different
physical address for the init tlb and the final map. So we have to use
switch_to_as1/restore_to_as0 between the conversion of these two
maps. When restoring to as0 for a secondary cpu, we only need to
return to the caller. So add a new parameter for function
restore_to_as0 for this purpose.
Use LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC to get the address of variables which may
be used before we set the final map in cams for the secondary cpu.
Move the setting of cams a bit earlier in order to avoid the
unnecessary using of LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC.

This is always true for a non-relocatable kernel. Otherwise the kernel
would get stuck. But for a relocatable kernel, it seems a little
complicated. When booting a relocatable kernel, we just align the
kernel start addr to 64M and map the PAGE_OFFSET from there. The
relocation will base on this virtual address. But if this address
is not the same as the memstart_addr, we will have to change the
map of PAGE_OFFSET to the real memstart_addr and do another relocation
again.

We currently turn interrupts back to their previous state before
calling do_page_fault(). This can be annoying when debugging as
a bad fault will potentially have lost some processor state before
getting into the debugger.
We also end up calling some generic code with interrupts enabled
such as notify_page_fault() with interrupts enabled, which could
be unexpected.
This changes our code to behave more like other architectures,
and make the assembly entry code call into do_page_faults() with
interrupts disabled. They are conditionally re-enabled from
within do_page_fault() in the same spot x86 does it.
While there, add the might_sleep() test in the case of a successful
trylock of the mmap semaphore, again like x86.
Also fix a bug in the existing assembly where r12 (_MSR) could get
clobbered by C calls (the DTL accounting in the exception common
macro and DISABLE_INTS) in some cases.

The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based
on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This
approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size
is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used
currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method.
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the
dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series.
This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for
platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with
smaller TLB size).
Changes since v3:
* Introduced a new config, NONSTATIC_KERNEL, to denote a kernel which is
either a RELOCATABLE or DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(Suggested by: Josh Boyer)

u64 is used rather than phys_addr_t to keep things simple, as
this is called from assembly code.
Update callers to pass a 64-bit address in r3/r4. Other unused
register assignments that were once parameters to machine_init
are dropped.
For FSL BookE, look up the physical address of the device tree from the
effective address passed in r3 by the loader. This is required for
situations where memory does not start at zero (due to AMP or IOMMU-less
virtualization), and thus the IMA doesn't start at zero, and thus the
device tree effective address does not equal the physical address.

Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors. This allows the kernel to
use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of
TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with
large memory footprints. Care should be taken when using this on FSL
processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low
(16-64) on current processors.
The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g.
Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and
must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated).
This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE
processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for
64-bit BooKE.
