    powerpc/64e: Fix secondary thread bringup for ELFv2 kernels · 2dc0bc11
    Michael Ellerman authored
    When booting on e6500 with an ELF v2 ABI kernel, the secondary threads do
    not start correctly:
    
        [    0.051118] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
        [    5.072700] Processor 1 is stuck.
    
    This occurs because the startup code is written to use function
    descriptors when loading the entry point for the secondary threads. When
    building with ELF v2 ABI there are no function descriptors, and the code
    loads junk values for the entry point address.
    
    Fix it by using ppc_function_entry() in C, and DOTSYM() in asm, both of
    which work correctly for ELF v2 ABI as well as ELF v1 ABI kernels.
