powerpc/boot: Use address-of operator on section symbols

These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are
just addresses. Using the address of operator silences the warning
and does not change the resulting assembly with either clang/ld.lld
or gcc/ld (tested with diff + objdump -Dr).

powerpc: Add support for adding an ESM blob to the zImage wrapper

For secure VMs, the signing tool will create a ticket called the "ESM blob"
for the Enter Secure Mode ultravisor call with the signatures of the kernel
and initrd among other things.

This adds support to the wrapper script for adding that blob via the "-e"
option to the zImage.pseries.

It also adds code to the zImage wrapper itself to retrieve and if necessary
relocate the blob, and pass its address to Linux via the device-tree, to be
later consumed by prom_init.

powerpc/boot: Fix the early OPAL console wrappers

When configured with CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_OPAL=y the kernel expects
the OPAL entry and base addresses to be passed in r8 and r9
respectively. Currently the wrapper does not attempt to restore these
values before entering the decompressed kernel which causes the kernel
to branch into whatever happens to be in r9 when doing a write to the
OPAL console in early boot.

This patch adds a platform_ops hook that can be used to branch into the
new kernel. The OPAL console driver patches this at runtime so that if
the console is used it will be restored just prior to entering the
kernel.

powerpc/boot: Fix boot on systems with uncompressed kernel image

This commit broke boot on systems with an uncompressed kernel image,
namely systems using a cuImage. On such systems the compressed boot
image (boot wrapper, uncompressed kernel image, ..) is decompressed
by u-boot already, therefore the boot wrapper code sees an
uncompressed kernel image.

The old decompression code silently assumed an uncompressed kernel
image if it found no valid gzip signature, whilst the new code
bailed out in this case.

Fix this by re-introducing such a fallback if no valid compressed
image is found.

powerpc/boot: Use the pre-boot decompression API

Currently the powerpc boot wrapper has its own wrapper around zlib to
handle decompressing gzipped kernels. The kernel decompressor library
functions now provide a generic interface that can be used in the
pre-boot environment. This allows boot wrappers to easily support
different compression algorithms. This patch converts the wrapper to use
this new API, but does not add support for using new algorithms.

powerpc/boot: Compare _start against ei.loadsize instead ei.memsize

If the vmlinux binary in memory is larger than 4 MiB than it collides
with the initial boot code which is linked at 4 MiB in case of cuBoot.
If the the uncompressed image size (on disk size) is less than 4 MiB
then it would fit. The difference between those two sizes is the bss
section. In cuBoot we have the dtb embedded right after the data
section so it is very likely that the reset of the bss section (in
kernel's start up code) will overwrite the dtb blob. Therefore we
reallocate the dtb. Something similar is allready done to the initrd.

[POWERPC] Clean up zImage handling of the command line

This cleans up how the zImage code manipulates the kernel
command line. Notable improvements from the old handling:
- Command line manipulation is consolidated into a new
prep_cmdline() function, rather than being scattered across start()
and some helper functions
- Less stack space use: we use just a single global command
line buffer, which can be initialized by an external tool as before,
we no longer need another command line sized buffer on the stack.
- Easier to support platforms whose firmware passes a
commandline, but not a device tree. Platform code can now point new
loader_info fields to the firmware's command line, rather than having
to do early manipulation of the /chosen bootargs property which may
then be rewritten again by the core.

[POWERPC] zImage: Cleanup and improve zImage entry point

This patch re-organises the way the zImage wrapper code is entered, to
allow more flexibility on platforms with unusual entry conditions.
After this patch, a platform .o file has two options:

1) It can define a _zimage_start, in which case the platform code gets
control from the very beginning of execution. In this case the
platform code is responsible for relocating the zImage if necessary,
clearing the BSS, performing any platform specific initialization, and
finally calling start() to load and enter the kernel.

2) It can define platform_init(). In this case the generic crt0.S
handles initial entry, and calls platform_init() before calling
start(). The signature of platform_init() is changed, however, to
take up to 5 parameters (in r3..r7) as they come from the platform's
initial loader, instead of a fixed set of parameters based on OF's
usage.

When using the generic crt0.S, the platform .o can optionally
supply a custom stack to use, using the BSS_STACK() macro. If this
is not supplied, the crt0.S will assume that the loader has
supplied a usable stack.

In either case, the platform code communicates information to the
generic code (specifically, a PROM pointer for OF systems, and/or an
initrd image address supplied by the bootloader) via a global
structure "loader_info".

In addition the wrapper script is rearranged to ensure that the
platform .o is always linked first. This means that platforms where
the zImage entry point is at a fixed address or offset, rather than
being encoded in the binary header can be supported using option (1).

[POWERPC] zImage: Cleanup and improve prep_kernel()

This patch rewrites prep_kernel() in the zImage wrapper code to be
clearer and more flexible. Notable changes:

- Handling of the initrd image from prep_kernel() has moved
into a new prep_initrd() function.
- The address of the initrd image is now added as device tree
properties, as the kernel expects.
- We only copy a packaged initrd image to a new location if it
is in danger of being clobbered when the kernel moves to its final
location, instead of always.
- By default we decompress the kernel directly to address 0,
instead of requiring it to relocate itself. Platforms (such as OF)
where doing this could clobber still-live firmware data structures can
override the vmlinux_alloc hook to provide an alternate place to
decompress the kernel.
- We no longer pass lots of information between functions in
global variables.

[POWERPC] zImage: Add more flexible gunzip convenience functions

At present, arch/powerpc/boot/main.c includes a gunzip() function
which is a convenient wrapper around zlib. However, it doesn't
conveniently allow decompressing part of an image to one location,
then the remainder to a different address.

This patch adds a new set of more flexible convenience wrappers around
zlib, moving them to their own file, gunzip_util.c, in the process.
These wrappers allow decompressing sections of the compressed image to
different locations. In addition, they transparently handle
uncompressed data, avoiding special case code to handle uncompressed
vmlinux images.

The patch also converts main.c to use the new wrappers, using the new
flexibility to avoid decompressing the vmlinux's ELF header twice as
we did previously. That in turn means we avoid extending our
allocations for the vmlinux to allow space for the extra copy of the
ELF header.

# 35af89eb 20-Nov-2006 David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

[POWERPC] Cleanup zImage handling of kernel entry with flat device tree

This makes 2 changes to clean up the flat device tree handling
logic in the zImage wrapper.

First, there were two callbacks from the dt_ops structure used for
producing a final flat tree to pass to the kerne: dt_ops.ft_pack()
which packed the flat tree (possibly a no-op) and dt_ops.ft_addr()
which retreived the address of the final blob. Since they were only
ever called together, this patch combines the two into a single new
callback, dt_ops.finalize(). This new callback does whatever
platform-dependent things are necessary to produce a final flat device
tree blob, and returns the blob's addres.

Second, the current logic calls the kernel with a flat device tree if
one is build into the zImage wrapper, otherwise it boots the kernel
with a PROM pointer, expecting the kernel to copy the OF device tree
itself. This approach precludes the possibility of the platform
wrapper code building a flat device tree from whatever
platform-specific information firmware provides. Thus, this patch
takes the more sensible approach of invoking the kernel with a flat
tree if the dt_ops.finalize callback provides one (by whatever means).

So, the dt_ops.finalize callback can be NULL, or can be a function
which returns NULL. In either case, the zImage wrapper logic assumes
that this is a platform with OF and invokes the kernel accordingly.

# f79e083c 15-Nov-2006 David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

[POWERPC] Small clarification of initrd handling

This patch makes the handling of the initrd (or initramfs) in the
zImage wrapper a little easier to follow. Instead of passing the
initrd addresses out from prep_kernel() via the cryptic a1 and a2
parameters, use the global struct add_range, 'initrd'. prep_kernel()
already passes information through the 'vmlinux' addr_range struct, so
this seems like a reasonable extension.

Some comments also clarify the logic with prep_kernel(): we use an
initrd included in the zImage if present, otherwise we use an initrd
passed in by the bootloader in the a1 and a2 parameters (yaboot, at
least, uses this mechanism to pass an initrd).
