Merge branch 'x86-trampoline-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 trampoline rework from H. Peter Anvin:
"This code reworks all the "trampoline"/"realmode" code (various bits
that need to live in the first megabyte of memory, most but not all of
which runs in real mode at some point) in the kernel into a single
object. The main reason for doing this is that it eliminates the last
place in the kernel where we needed pages to be mapped RWX. This code
separates all that code into proper R/RW/RX pages."

Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile (mca removed next to reboot
code), and arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c (reboot code moved around in one
branch, modified in this one), and arch/x86/tools/relocs.c (mostly same
code came in earlier due to working around the ld bugs just before the
3.4 release).

Also remove stale x86-relocs entry from scripts/.gitignore as per Peter
Anvin.

Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull more relocation fixes from Peter Anvin:
"These are additional symbols that have been found to either be
absolute or look like they might end up being absolute on one version
of GNU ld or another. Unfortunately we have since that a different
GNU ld version, 2.21, can generate bogus absolute symbols; again, this
would have caused a malfunctioning kernel on x86-32 if relocated.

The relocs.c changes changed silent corruption to a build time error.

It is worth noting that if the various barrier symbols we use were
more consistent in the namespace used this probably could be reduced
to a single regexp; if nothing else it looks like there is migration
toward a common __(start|stop)___.* namespace."

x86, relocs: Add jiffies and jiffies_64 to the relative whitelist

The symbol jiffies is created in the linker script as an alias to
jiffies_64. Unfortunately this is done outside any section, and
apparently GNU ld 2.21 doesn't carry the section with it, so we end up
with an absolute symbol and therefore a broken kernel.

Add jiffies and jiffies_64 to the whitelist.

The most disturbing bit with this discovery is that it shows that we
have had multiple linker bugs in this area crossing multiple
generations, and have been silently building bad kernels for some time.

x86-32, relocs: Whitelist more symbols for ld bug workaround

x86-32, relocs: Whitelist more symbols for ld bug workaround

As noted in checkin:

a3e854d95 x86, relocs: Workaround for binutils 2.22.52.0.1 section bug

ld version 2.22.52.0.[12] can incorrectly promote relative symbols to
absolute, if the output section they appear in is otherwise empty.

Since checkin:

6520fe55 x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool

we actually check for this and error out rather than silently creating
a kernel which will malfunction if relocated.

Ingo found a configuration in which __start_builtin_fw triggered the
warning.

Go through the linker script sources and look for more symbols that
could plausibly get bogusly promoted to absolute, and add them to the
whitelist.

In general, if the following error triggers:

Invalid absolute R_386_32 relocation: <symbol>

... then we should verify that <symbol> is really meant to be
relocated, and add it and any related symbols manually to the S_REL
regexp.

Please note that 6520fe55 does not introduce the error, only the check
for the error -- without 6520fe55 this version of ld will simply
produce a corrupt kernel if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set on x86-32.

Pull x86 linker bug workarounds from Peter Anvin.

GNU ld-2.22.52.0.[12] (*) has an unfortunate bug where it incorrectly
turns certain relocation entries absolute. Section-relative symbols
that are part of otherwise empty sections are silently changed them to
absolute. We rely on section-relative symbols staying section-relative,
and actually have several sections in the linker script solely for this
purpose.

See for example

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14052

We could just black-list the buggy linker, but it appears that it got
shipped in at least F17, and possibly other distros too, so it's sadly
not some rare unusual case.

This backports the workaround from the x86/trampoline branch, and as
Peter says: "This is not a minimal fix, not at all, but it is a tested
code base."

x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool

A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
relocate the code properly.

In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.

16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
real-mode code.

The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.

[ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute
relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently
produces bad kernels. ]
