Use assembler sections of fixed size and location to arrange the 64-bit

This allows better flexibility in arranging exception code and hiding

Gas sections can be a bit painful to use this way, mainly because the

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,

Previously, code also used + 0x2 for label names, but we changed to
using "H" to distinguish HV case for that. Remove the last vestiges

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Migrate pinned pages out of CMA
When PCI Device pass-through is enabled via VFIO, KVM-PPC will
pin pages using get_user_pages_fast(). One of the downsides of
the pinning is that the page could be in CMA region. The CMA
region is used for other allocations like the hash page table.
Ideally we want the pinned pages to be from non CMA region.
This patch (currently only for KVM PPC with VFIO) forcefully
migrates the pages out (huge pages are omitted for the moment).
There are more efficient ways of doing this, but that might
be elaborate and might impact a larger audience beyond just
the kvm ppc implementation.
The magic is in new_iommu_non_cma_page() which allocates the
new page from a non CMA region.
I've tested the patches lightly at my end. The full solution
requires migration of THP pages in the CMA region. That work
will be done incrementally on top of this.

When we originally added the ability to split the exception vectors from
the kernel (commit 1f6a93e4c35e ("powerpc: Make it possible to move the
interrupt handlers away from the kernel" 2008-09-15)), the LOAD_HANDLER() macro
used an addi instruction to compute the offset of the common handler
from the kernel base address.
Using addi meant the handler had to be within 32K of the kernel base
address, due to the addi instruction taking a signed immediate value.
That necessitated creating a trampoline for the system call handler,
because system_call_common (in entry64.S) is not linked within 32K of
the kernel base address.
Later in commit 61e2390ede3c ("powerpc: Make load_hander handle upto 64k
offset" 2012-11-15) we changed LOAD_HANDLER to take a 64K offset, by
changing it to use ori.
Although system_call_common is not in head_64.S or exceptions-64s.S, it
is included in head-y, which causes it to be linked early in the kernel
text, so in practice it ends up below 64K. Additionally if it can't be
placed below 64K the linker will fail to build with a "relocation
truncated to fit" error.
So remove the trampoline.
Newer toolchains are able to work out that the ori in LOAD_HANDLER only
takes a 16 bit offset, and so they generate a 16 bit relocation. Older
toolchains (binutils 2.22 at least) are not so smart, so we have to add
the @l annotation to tell the assembler to generate a 16 bit relocation.

Although it's fairly harmless, every now and then it causes confusion
when a driver is built on powerpc and another arch which doesn't define
NO_IRQ. There's at least 6 definitions of NO_IRQ in drivers/, at least
some of which are to work around that problem.
So we'd like to remove it. This is fairly trivial in the arch code, we
just convert:
if (irq == NO_IRQ) to if (!irq)
if (irq != NO_IRQ) to if (irq)
irq = NO_IRQ; to irq = 0;
return NO_IRQ; to return 0;
And a few other odd cases as well.

we see that functions marked __meminit can end up outside of the
_stext/_etext range, and also outside of _sinittext/_einittext, eg:

powerpc: Don't change the section in _GLOBAL()
Currently the _GLOBAL() macro unilaterally sets the assembler section to
".text" at the start of the macro. This is rude as the caller may be
using a different section.
So let the caller decide which section to emit the code into. On big
endian we do need to switch to the ".opd" section to emit the OPD, but
do that with pushsection/popsection, thereby leaving the original
section intact.
I verified that the order of all entries in System.map is unchanged
after this patch. The actual addresses shift around slightly so you
can't just diff the System.map.

powerpc: Use kprobe blacklist for exception handlers
Currently we mark the C implementations of some exception handlers as
__kprobes. This has the effect of putting them in the ".kprobes.text"
section, which separates them from the rest of the text.
Instead we can use the blacklist macros to add the symbols to a
blacklist which kprobes will check. This allows the linker to move
exception handler functions close to callers and avoids trampolines in
larger kernels.

powerpc: Set used_(vsr|vr|spe) in sigreturn path when MSR bits are active
Normally, when MSR[VSX/VR/SPE] bits == 1, the used_vsr/used_vr/used_spe
bit have already been set. However when loading a signal frame from user
space we need to explicitly set used_vsr/used_vr/used_spe to make them
consistent with the MSR bits from the signal frame.
For example, CRIU application, who utilizes sigreturn to restore
checkpointed process, will lead to the case where MSR[VSX] bit is active
in signal frame, but used_vsr bit is not set in the kernel. (the same
applies to VR/SPE).
This patch fixes this by always setting used_* bit when MSR related bits
are active in signal frame and we are doing sigreturn.
Based on a proposal by Benh.

When set_sl_ops() is called, the adapter data structure is not fully
initialized yet. Therefore the device name is not showing up in the
trace. Fix is simply to get the device name from the pci_dev
structure.
