<content type='text'>
Currently, is_kdump_kernel() returns true in crash dump capture kernel
for both kdump and fadump crash dump capturing methods, as both these
methods set elfcorehdr_addr. Some restrictions enforced for crash dump
capture kernel, based on is_kdump_kernel(), are specifically meant for
kdump case and not desirable for fadump - eg. IO queues restriction in
device drivers. So, define is_kdump_kernel() to return false when f/w
assisted dump is active.

PPC_85xx is PPC32 only.
PPC_85xx always selects E500 and is the only PPC32 that
selects E500.
FSL_BOOKE is selected when E500 and PPC32 are selected.

So FSL_BOOKE is redundant with PPC_85xx.

Remove FSL_BOOKE.

And rename four files accordingly.

cpu_setup_fsl_booke.S is not renamed because it is linked to
PPC_FSL_BOOK3E and not to FSL_BOOKE as suggested by its name.

During kdump, two set of NMI IPIs are sent to secondary CPUs, if
'crash_kexec_post_notifiers' option is set. The first set of NMI IPIs
to stop the CPUs and the other set to collect register data. Instead,
capture register data for secondary CPUs while stopping them itself.
Also, fallback to smp_send_stop() in case the function gets called
without kdump configured.

<id>urn:sha1:65d9a9a60fd71be964effb2e94747a6acb6e7015</id>
<content type='text'>
As requested
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/87ee0q7b92.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org),
this series converts weak functions in kexec to use the #ifdef approach.

Quoting the 3e35142ef99fe ("kexec_file: drop weak attribute from
arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add]") changelog:

: Since commit d1bcae833b32f1 ("ELF: Don't generate unused section symbols")
: [1], binutils (v2.36+) started dropping section symbols that it thought
: were unused.  This isn't an issue in general, but with kexec_file.c, gcc
: is placing kexec_arch_apply_relocations[_add] into a separate
: .text.unlikely section and the section symbol ".text.unlikely" is being
: dropped.  Due to this, recordmcount is unable to find a non-weak symbol in
: .text.unlikely to generate a relocation record against.

This patch (of 2);

Drop __weak attribute from functions in kexec_file.c:
- arch_kexec_kernel_image_probe()
- arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup()
- arch_kexec_kernel_image_load()
- arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole()
- arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig()

arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() calls into kexec_image_load_default(), so
drop the static attribute for the latter.

arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() is not overridden by any architecture, so
drop the __weak attribute.

<title>powerpc: Move C prototypes out of asm-prototypes.h</title>

<id>urn:sha1:76222808fc253cb9ea66c3e0e8d1946933f25b70</id>
<content type='text'>
We originally added asm-prototypes.h in commit 42f5b4cacd78 ("powerpc:
Introduce asm-prototypes.h"). It's purpose was for prototypes of C
functions that are only called from asm, in order to fix sparse
warnings about missing prototypes.

A few months later Nick added a different use case in
commit 4efca4ed05cb ("kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm")
for C prototypes for exported asm functions. This is basically the
inverse of our original usage.

Since then we've added various prototypes to asm-prototypes.h for both
reasons, meaning we now need to unstitch it all.

Dispatch prototypes of C functions into relevant headers and keep
only the prototypes for functions defined in assembly.

For the time being, leave prom_init() there because moving it
into asm/prom.h or asm/setup.h conflicts with
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadowrom.o
This will be fixed later by untaggling asm/pci.h and asm/prom.h
or by renaming the function in shadowrom.c

Some functions defined in `arch/powerpc/kernel` (and one in `arch/powerpc/
kexec`) are deserving of an `__init` macro attribute. These functions are
only called by other initialization functions and therefore should inherit
the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.

ppc_md.iommu_save() is not set anymore by any platform after
commit c40785ad305b ("powerpc/dart: Use a cachable DART").
So iommu_save() has become a nop and can be removed.

ppc_md.show_percpuinfo() is not set anymore by any platform after
commit 4350147a816b ("[PATCH] ppc64: SMU based macs cpufreq support").

Last users of ppc_md.rtc_read_val() and ppc_md.rtc_write_val() were
removed by commit 0f03a43b8f0f ("[POWERPC] Remove todc code from
ARCH=powerpc")

Last user of kgdb_map_scc() was removed by commit 17ce452f7ea3 ("kgdb,
powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb support").

ppc.machine_kexec_prepare() has not been used since
commit 8ee3e0d69623 ("powerpc: Remove the main legacy iSerie platform
code"). This allows the removal of machine_kexec_prepare() and the
rename of default_machine_kexec_prepare() into machine_kexec_prepare()

<title>powerpc/kexec_file: Restore FDT size estimation for kdump kernel</title>

<content type='text'>
kexec_fdt_totalsize_ppc64() includes the base FDT size in its size
calculation, but commit 3c985d31ad66 ("powerpc: Use common
of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt()") changed the kexec code to use the
generic function of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt() which already includes
the base FDT size. That change made the code overestimate the size a bit
by counting twice the space required for the kernel command line and
/chosen properties.

Therefore change kexec_fdt_totalsize_ppc64() to calculate just the extra
space needed by the kdump kernel, and change the function name so that it
better reflects what the function is now doing.
