2.6.23-rc1 breaks the build for 64-bit powerpc for me (using
maple_defconfig):
LD vmlinux.o
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: dynreloc miscount for
kernel/built-in.o, section .opd
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: can not edit opd Bad value
make: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1
However, I see a possibly related binutils patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/33650
It was tracked down to be caused by the weak prototype
declaration in mm.h:
__attribute__((weak)) const char *arch_vma_name(struct vm_area_struct *vma);
But there is no need to make the declaration weak - only the definition
needs to be marked weak. So drop the weak declaration. And in the process
drop the duplicate definition in page.h for powerpc.
Note: the arch_vma_name fix for x86_64 needs to be applied first to avoid
breaking x86_64

For 32-bit systems, powerpc still relies on the 4level-fixup.h hack,
to pretend that the generic pagetable handling stuff is 3-levels
rather than 4. This patch removes this, instead using the newer
pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd
pagetable levels (ppc32 pagetables are actually 2 levels).
This removes a little extraneous code, and makes it more easily
compared to the 64-bit pagetable code.

Since we don't have it active by default, the STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS
option has bitrotted again. This patch fixes a couple of simple build
fixes if the option is selected. First, pud_t mustn't be defined in
page.h on 32-bit systems, because it conflicts with the version in the
generic pud-folding code. Second, pci_32.c is missing a __pgprot()
wrapper call. Third, a couple of PS3 files use constants of type
pgprot_t when they need the raw values, we add pgprot_val() calls to
fix this.

This looks like cruft to me, these functions don't exist AFAICT,
and I can't see that it's possible to even enable DISCONTIGMEM on
powerpc anymore. CC'ing some folks who might know better, based on
the who-touched-it-last principle.

This patch cleans up some locking & error handling in the ppc vdso and
moves the vdso base pointer from the thread struct to the mm context
where it more logically belongs. It brings the powerpc implementation
closer to Ingo's new x86 one and also adds an arch_vma_name() function
allowing to print [vsdo] in /proc/<pid>/maps if Ingo's x86 vdso patch is
also applied.

We need to know the base address of the kdump kernel even when we're not a
kdump kernel, so add a #define for it. Move the logic that sets the kdump
kernelbase into kdump.h instead of page.h.
Rename kdump_setup() to setup_kdump_trampoline() to make it clearer what it's
doing, and add an empty definition for the !CRASH_DUMP case to avoid a

PPC32 is still using asm-generic/4level-fixup.h, but asm-powerpc/page.h
was defining pud_t and pgd_t. Depending on the order in which files
got included, this could result in a compilation error. Tweak the ifdef
so that page.h doesn't try to define pud_t on ppc32 (which uses 2-level
page tables).

This patch adds a Kconfig variable, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP, which configures the
built kernel for use as a Kdump kernel.
Currently "all" this involves is changing the value of KERNELBASE to 32 MB.

This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't
looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on
PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries.
This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1
gazillion for 64-bit.
To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET,
_not_ KERNELBASE.
KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's
often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_.
If you want to know something's offset from the start of the kernel
you should subtract KERNELBASE.

There's a bunch of code that compares an address with KERNELBASE to see if
it's a "kernel address", ie. >= KERNELBASE. The proper test is actually to
compare with PAGE_OFFSET, since we're going to change KERNELBASE soon.
So replace all of them with an is_kernel_addr() macro that does that.

Merge asm-ppc/page.h and asm-ppc64/page.h into asm-powerpc/page.h,
asm-powerpc/page_32.h and asm-powerpc/page_64.h
Built for PPC (common_defconfig), with ARCH=powerpc, mostly built with
ARCH=ppc (other things break the build). Built and booted on P5 LPAR
for PPC64 with ARCH=ppc/powerpc (pseries_defconfig). Mostly built for
iSeries powerpc.
