[PATCH] powerpc/32: Move entry_32 functions just after HEAD functions.

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Tue Apr 18 2017 - 03:01:33 EST


By default, PPC8xx PINs an ITLB on the first 8M of memory in order
to avoid any ITLB miss on kernel code.
However, with some debug functions like DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and
(soon to come) DEBUG_RODATA, the PINned TLB is invalidated soon
after startup so ITLB missed start to happen also on the kernel code.

In order to avoid any ITLB miss in a critical section, we have to
ensure that their is no page boundary crossed between the setup of
a new value in SRR0/SRR1 and the associated RFI. This cannot be done
easily if entry_32 functions sits in the middle of other .text
functions. By placing entry_32 just after the .head section (as already
done for entry_64 on PPC64), we can more easily ensure the issue
doesn't happen.

Ex: with this change, all entry_32 functions playing with srr0/srr1
appears between 0xc0002000 and 0xc0002fff on PPC_8xx.
