[ Upstream commit 58ec7f06b74e0d6e76c4110afce367c8b5f0837d ]

Big-endian GENERIC_CPU supports 970, but builds with -mcpu=power5.
POWER5 is ISA v2.02 whereas 970 is v2.01 plus Altivec. 2.02 added
the popcntb instruction which a compiler might use.

Use -mcpu=power4.

With GCC 12, corenet64_smp_defconfig leads to the following build errors:

-mpcu=powerpc64 cannot be used anymore for book3e, it must be a booke CPU.

But then we get:

cc1: error: AltiVec not supported in this target

Altivec is not supported with -mcpu=e5500 so don't allow selection
of altivec when e5500 is selected.

<title>powerpc/32: Don't always pass -mcpu=powerpc to the compiler</title>

<id>urn:sha1:446cda1b21d9a6b3697fe399c6a3a00ff4a285f5</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 4bf4f42a2feb ("powerpc/kbuild: Set default generic
machine type for 32-bit compile"), when building a 32 bits kernel
with a bi-arch version of GCC, or when building a book3s/32 kernel,
the option -mcpu=powerpc is passed to GCC at all time, relying on it
being eventually overriden by a subsequent -mcpu=xxxx.

But when building the same kernel with a 32 bits only version of GCC,
that is not done, relying on gcc being built with the expected default
CPU.

This logic has two problems. First, it is a bit fragile to rely on
whether the GCC version is bi-arch or not, because today we can have
bi-arch versions of GCC configured with a 32 bits default. Second,
there are some versions of GCC which don't support -mcpu=powerpc,
for instance for e500 SPE-only versions.

So, stop relying on this approximative logic and allow the user to
decide whether he/she wants to use the toolchain's default CPU or if
he/she wants to set one, and allow only possible CPUs based on the
selected target.

At the time being, we use CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN and
CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to pass -mabi=elfv1 or elfv2 to
compiler, then define a PPC64_ELF_ABI_v1 or PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2
macro in asm/types.h based on _CALL_ELF define set by the compiler.

Make it more straight forward with a CONFIG option that
is directly usable.

Many architectures have similar install.sh scripts.

The first half is really generic; it verifies that the kernel image
and System.map exist, then executes ~/bin/${INSTALLKERNEL} or
/sbin/${INSTALLKERNEL} if available.

The second half is kind of arch-specific; it copies the kernel image
and System.map to the destination, but the code is slightly different.

Factor out the generic part into scripts/install.sh.

Merge a topic branch we are maintaining with some cross-architecture
changes to function descriptor handling and their use in LKDTM.

From Christophe's cover letter:

Fix LKDTM for PPC64/IA64/PARISC

PPC64/IA64/PARISC have function descriptors. LKDTM doesn't work on those
three architectures because LKDTM messes up function descriptors with
functions.

This series does some cleanup in the three architectures and refactors
function descriptors so that it can then easily use it in a generic way
in LKDTM.

<title>powerpc/Makefile: Don't pass -mcpu=powerpc64 when building 32-bit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2863dd2db23e0407f6c50b8ba5c0e55abef894f1</id>
<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU=y (true for all our defconfigs) we pass
-mcpu=powerpc64 to the compiler, even when we're building a 32-bit
kernel.

This happens because we have an ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64/else block in
the Makefile that was written before 32-bit supported GENERIC_CPU. Prior
to that the else block only applied to 64-bit Book3E.

The GCC man page says -mcpu=powerpc64 "[specifies] a pure ... 64-bit big
endian PowerPC ... architecture machine [type], with an appropriate,
generic processor model assumed for scheduling purposes."

It's unclear how that interacts with -m32, which we are also passing,
although obviously -m32 is taking precedence in some sense, as the
32-bit kernel only contains 32-bit instructions.

This was noticed by inspection, not via any bug reports, but it does
affect code generation. Comparing before/after code generation, there
are some changes to instruction scheduling, and the after case (with
-mcpu=powerpc64 removed) the compiler seems more keen to use r8.

Fix it by making the else case only apply to Book3E 64, which excludes
32-bit.

'sparse' is architecture agnostic and knows nothing about ELF ABI
version.

Just like it gets arch and powerpc type and endian from Makefile,
it also need to get _CALL_ELF from there, otherwise it won't set
PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 macro for PPC64le and won't check the correct code.
