Use a tool to check that the location of "fixed sections" are where
we expected them to be, which catches cases the linker script can't
(stubs being added to start of .text section), and which ends up
being neater.
Sample output:
ERROR: start_text address is c000000000008100, should be c000000000008000
ERROR: see comments in arch/powerpc/tools/head_check.sh

Very large kernels may require linker stubs for branches from HEAD
text code. The linker may place these stubs before the HEAD text
sections, which breaks the assumption that HEAD text is located at 0
(or the .text section being located at 0x7000/0x8000 on Book3S
kernels).
Provide an option to create a small section just before the .text
section with an empty 256 - 4 bytes, and adjust the start of the .text
section to match. The linker will tend to put stubs in that section
and not break our relative-to-absolute offset assumptions.
This causes a small waste of space on common kernels, but allows large
kernels to build and boot. For now, it is an EXPERT config option,
defaulting to =n, but a reference is provided for it in the build-time
check for such breakage. This is good enough for allyesconfig and
custom users / hackers.

Blacklist all the exception common/OOL handlers as the kernel stack is not yet
setup, which means we can't take a trap at this point.

Merge the topic branch we're sharing with the kvm-ppc tree.

start,size has the benefit of being easier to search for (start,end
usually gives you the preceeding vector from the one you want, as first
result).

Somewhere along the line, search/replace left some naming garbled,
and untidy alignment (aka. mpe stuffed it up). Might as well fix them
all up now while git blame history doesn't extend too far.

A subsequent patch to make KVM handlers relocation-safe makes them
unusable from within alt section "else" cases (due to the way fixed
addresses are taken from within fixed section head code).
Stop open-coding the KVM handlers, and add them both as normal. A more
optimal fix may be to allow some level of alternate feature patching in
the exception macros themselves, but for now this will do.
The TRAMP_KVM handlers must be moved to the "virt" fixed section area
(name is arbitrary) in order to be closer to .text and avoid the dreaded
"relocation truncated to fit" error.

Exception handlers are aligned to 128 bytes (L1 cache) on 64s, which is
overkill. It can reduce the icache footprint of any individual exception
path. However taken as a whole, the expansion in icache footprint seems
likely to be counter-productive and cause more total misses.
Create IFETCH_ALIGN_SHIFT/BYTES, which should give optimal ifetch
alignment with much more reasonable alignment. This saves 1792 bytes
from head_64.o text with an allmodconfig build.
Other subarchitectures should define appropriate IFETCH_ALIGN_SHIFT
values if this becomes more widely used.

Use assembler sections of fixed size and location to arrange the 64-bit
Book3S exception vector code (64-bit Book3E also uses it in head_64.S
for 0x0..0x100).
This allows better flexibility in arranging exception code and hiding
unimportant details behind macros.
Gas sections can be a bit painful to use this way, mainly because the
assembler does not know where they will be finally linked. Taking
absolute addresses requires a bit of trickery for example, but it can
be hidden behind macros for the most part.
Generated code is mostly the same except locations, offsets, alignments.
The "+ 0x2" is only required for the trap number / kvm exit number,
which gets loaded as a constant into a register.
Previously, code also used + 0x2 for label names, but we changed to
using "H" to distinguish HV case for that. Remove the last vestiges
of that.
__after_prom_start is taking absolute address of a label in another
fixed section. Newer toolchains seemed to compile this okay, but older
ones do not. FIXED_SYMBOL_ABS_ADDR is more foolproof, it just takes an
additional line to define.

Move exception handler alignment directives into the head-64.h macros,
beause they will no longer work in-place after the next patch. This
slightly changes functions that have alignments applied and therefore
code generation, which is why it was not done initially (see earlier
patch).

Create arch/powerpc/include/asm/head-64.h with macros that specify
an exception vector (name, type, location), which will be used to
label and lay out exceptions into the object file.
Naming is moved out of exception-64s.h, which is used to specify the
implementation of exception handlers.
objdump of generated code in exception vectors is unchanged except for
names. Alignment directives scattered around are annoying, but done
this way so that disassembly can verify identical instruction
generation before and after patch. These get cleaned up in future
patch.
We change the way KVMTEST works, explicitly passing EXC_HV or EXC_STD
rather than overloading the trap number. This removes the need to have
SOFTEN values for the overloaded trap numbers, eg. 0x502.
