Use assembler sections of fixed size and location to arrange the 64-bit Book3S exception vector code (64-bit Book3E also uses it in head_64.S for 0x0..0x100). This allows better flexibility in arranging exception code and hiding unimportant details behind macros. Gas sections can be a bit painful to use this way, mainly because the assembler does not know where they will be finally linked. Taking absolute addresses requires a bit of trickery for example, but it can be hidden behind macros for the most part. Generated code is mostly the same except locations, offsets, alignments. The "+ 0x2" is only required for the trap number / kvm exit number, which gets loaded as a constant into a register. Previously, code also used + 0x2 for label names, but we changed to using "H" to distinguish HV case for that. Remove the last vestiges of that. __after_prom_start is taking absolute address of a label in another fixed section. Newer toolchains seemed to compile this okay, but older ones do not. FIXED_SYMBOL_ABS_ADDR is more foolproof, it just takes an additional line to define. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
