  powerpc/fsl_booke/32: Document KASLR implementation (2019-10-21 16:09:16 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Jason Yan (12):
      powerpc: unify definition of M_IF_NEEDED
      powerpc: move memstart_addr and kernstart_addr to init-common.c
      powerpc: introduce kernstart_virt_addr to store the kernel base
      powerpc/fsl_booke/32: introduce create_kaslr_tlb_entry() helper
      powerpc/fsl_booke/32: introduce reloc_kernel_entry() helper
      powerpc/fsl_booke/32: implement KASLR infrastructure

This commit breaks booting on the qemu mac99 machine, using pmac32_defconfig.

The problematic hunk is the change to early_32.c:

It needs to use PTRRELOC() for the kernstart_virt_addr accesses.

I've made that change and squashed it into the series. I've pushed that
as a branch to here:
  https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/commits/topic/kaslr-book3e32


That boots for me on qemu mac99.

Jason can you please test it on your setup with KASLR enabled to make
sure it still works.

cheers
