powerpc/64: avoid using r13 in relocate

relocate() uses r13 in early boot before it is used for the paca. Use
a different register for this so r13 is kept unchanged until it is
set to the paca pointer.

Avoid r14 as well while we're here, there's no reason not to use the
volatile registers which is a bit less surprising, and r14 could be used
as another fixed reg one day.

powerpc/64: Add UADDR64 relocation support

When ld detects unaligned relocations, it emits R_PPC64_UADDR64
relocations instead of R_PPC64_RELATIVE. Currently R_PPC64_UADDR64 are
detected by arch/powerpc/tools/relocs_check.sh and expected not to work.
Below is a simple chunk to trigger this behaviour (this disables
optimization for the demonstration purposes only, this also happens with
-O1/-O2 when CONFIG_PRINTK_INDEX=y, for example):

\#pragma GCC push_options
\#pragma GCC optimize ("O0")
struct entry {
const char *file;
int line;
} __attribute__((packed));
static const struct entry e1 = { .file = __FILE__, .line = __LINE__ };
static const struct entry e2 = { .file = __FILE__, .line = __LINE__ };
...
prom_printf("e1=%s %lx %lx\n", e1.file, (unsigned long) e1.file, mfmsr());
prom_printf("e2=%s %lx\n", e2.file, (unsigned long) e2.file);
\#pragma GCC pop_options

This adds support for UADDR64 for 64bit. This reuses __dynamic_symtab
from the 32bit code which supports more relocation types already.

Because RELACOUNT includes only R_PPC64_RELATIVE, this replaces it with
RELASZ which is the size of all relocation records.

These symbols are only 4 byte aligned where they need to be 8 byte

powerpc/relocate fix relocate processing in LE mode

Relocation's code is not working in little endian mode because the r_info
field, which is a 64 bits value, should be read from the right offset.

The current code is optimized to read the r_info field as a 32 bits value
starting at the middle of the double word (offset 12). When running in LE
mode, the read value is not correct since only the MSB is read.

This patch removes this optimization which consist to deal with a 32 bits
value instead of a 64 bits one. This way it works in big and little endian
mode.

powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)

The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.

This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).

With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical
address 0 and run there.
