powerpc: Include .BTF section

2020-03-25T07:26:54Z

[ Upstream commit cb0cc635c7a9fa8a3a0f75d4d896721819c63add ] Selecting CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF results in the below warning from ld: ld: warning: orphan section `.BTF' from `.btf.vmlinux.bin.o' being placed in section `.BTF' Include .BTF section in vmlinux explicitly to fix the same.

powerpc: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment

2019-11-04T17:30:13Z

Since the EXCEPTION_TABLE is read-only, collapse it into RO_DATA.

vmlinux.lds.h: Move NOTES into RO_DATA

2019-11-04T14:34:41Z

The .notes section should be non-executable read-only data. As such, move it to the RO_DATA macro instead of being per-architecture defined.

powerpc: Remove PT_NOTE workaround

powerpc: Rename "notes" PT_NOTE to "note"

2019-11-04T14:33:28Z

The Program Header identifiers are internal to the linker scripts. In preparation for moving the NOTES segment declaration into RO_DATA, standardize the identifier for the PT_NOTE entry to "note" as used by all other architectures that emit PT_NOTE. Note that there was discussion about changing all architectures to use "notes" instead, but I prefer to avoid that at this time. Changing only powerpc is the smallest change to standardize the entire kernel. And while this standardization does use singular "note" for a section that has more than one note in it, this is just an internal identifier. It matches the ELF "PT_NOTE", and is 4 characters (like "text", and "data") for pretty alignment. The more exposed macro, "NOTES", use the more sensible plural wording.

powerpc/kconfig: define CONFIG_DATA_SHIFT and CONFIG_ETEXT_SHIFT

2019-02-23T10:04:32Z

CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX requires a special alignment for DATA for some subarches. Today it is just defined as an #ifdef in vmlinux.lds.S In order to get more flexibility, this patch moves the definition of this alignment in Kconfig On some subarches, CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX will require a special alignment of _etext. This patch also adds a configuration item for it in Kconfig Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/32: Include .branch_lt in data section

2019-02-05T04:47:16Z

When building a 32 bit powerpc kernel with Binutils 2.31.1 this warning is emitted: powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.branch_lt' from `arch/powerpc/kernel/head_44x.o' being placed in section `.branch_lt' As of binutils commit 2d7ad24e8726 ("Support PLT16 relocs against local symbols")[1], 32 bit targets can produce .branch_lt sections in their output. Include these symbols in the .data section as the ppc64 kernel does.
