powerpc/boot: Allow text relocations for pseries wrapper with binutils 2.46+

Binutils 2.46 changed the default linker behavior from '-z notext' to
'-z text', which treats dynamic relocations in read-only segments as
errors rather than warnings. This causes the pseries boot wrapper build
to fail with:

/usr/bin/ld.bfd: arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper.a(crt0.o): warning:
relocation against `_platform_stack_top' in read-only section `.text'
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: error: read-only segment has dynamic relocations

The pseries wrapper uses '-pie' to create position-independent code.
However, crt0.S contains a pointer to '_platform_stack_top' in the .text
section, which requires a dynamic relocation at runtime. This creates
DT_TEXTREL (text relocations), which were allowed by default in binutils
2.45 and earlier (via implicit '-z notext') but are now rejected by
binutils 2.46+.

Add '-z notext' linker flag to explicitly allow text relocations for
the pseries platform, similar to what is already done for the epapr
platform. This restores the previous behavior and allows the boot
wrapper to build successfully with binutils 2.46+.

powerpc/64: Remove maple platform

The maple platform was added in 2004 [1], to support the "Maple" 970FX
evaluation board.

It was later used for IBM JS20/JS21 machines, as well as the Bimini
machine, aka "Yellow Dog Powerstation".

Sadly all those machines have passed into memory, and there's been no
evidence for years that anyone is still using any of them.

Remove the platform and related code. It can always be reinstated if
there's interest.

Note that this has no impact on support for 970FX based Power Macs.

powerpc/boot: Fix incorrect version calculation issue in ld_version

The ld_version() function computes the wrong version value for certain
ld versions such as the following:

$ ld --version
GNU ld (GNU Binutils; SUSE Linux Enterprise 15)
2.37.20211103-150100.7.37

For input 2.37.20211103, the value computed is 202348030000 which is
higher than the value for a later version like 2.39.0, which is
23900000.

This issue was highlighted because with the above ld version, the
powerpc kernel build started failing with ld error: "unrecognized option
--no-warn-rwx-segments". This was caused due to the recent commit
579aee9fc594 ("powerpc: suppress some linker warnings in recent linker
versions") which added the --no-warn-rwx-segments linker flag if the ld
version is greater than 2.39.

Due to the bug in ld_version(), ld version 2.37.20111103 is wrongly
calculated to be greater than 2.39 and the unsupported flag is added.

To fix it, if version is of the form x.y.z and length(z) == 8, then most
probably it is a date [yyyymmdd] commonly used for release snapshots and
not an actual new version. Hence, ignore the date part replacing it with
0.

kbuild: build init/built-in.a just once

Kbuild builds init/built-in.a twice; first during the ordinary
directory descending, second from scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

We do this because UTS_VERSION contains the build version and the
timestamp. We cannot update it during the normal directory traversal
since we do not yet know if we need to update vmlinux. UTS_VERSION is
temporarily calculated, but omitted from the update check. Otherwise,
vmlinux would be rebuilt every time.

When Kbuild results in running link-vmlinux.sh, it increments the
version number in the .version file and takes the timestamp at that
time to really fix UTS_VERSION.

However, updating the same file twice is a footgun. To avoid nasty
timestamp issues, all build artifacts that depend on init/built-in.a
are atomically generated in link-vmlinux.sh, where some of them do not
need rebuilding.

To fix this issue, this commit changes as follows:

[1] Split UTS_VERSION out to include/generated/utsversion.h from
include/generated/compile.h

include/generated/utsversion.h is generated just before the
vmlinux link. It is generated under include/generated/ because
some decompressors (s390, x86) use UTS_VERSION.

[2] Split init_uts_ns and linux_banner out to init/version-timestamp.c
from init/version.c

init_uts_ns and linux_banner contain UTS_VERSION. During the ordinary
directory descending, they are compiled with __weak and used to
determine if vmlinux needs relinking. Just before the vmlinux link,
they are compiled without __weak to embed the real version and
timestamp.

This is due to the wrapper script calling 'objdump -p vmlinux' and
looking for 'file format', whereas the output of objdump is:

powerpc: retire sbc8548 board support

The support was for this was mainlined 13 years ago, in v2.6.25
[0e0fffe88767] just around the ppc --> powerpc migration.

I believe the board was introduced a year or two before that, so it
is roughly a 15 year old platform - with the CPU speed and memory size
that was typical for that era.

I haven't had one of these boards for several years, and availability
was discontinued several years before that.

Given that, there is no point in adding a burden to testing coverage
that builds all possible defconfigs, so it makes sense to remove it.

Of course it will remain in the git history forever, for anyone who
happens to find a functional board and wants to tinker with it.

and initrd among other things.

This adds support to the wrapper script for adding that blob via the "-e"
option to the zImage.pseries.

It also adds code to the zImage wrapper itself to retrieve and if necessary
relocate the blob, and pass its address to Linux via the device-tree, to be
later consumed by prom_init.

Merge tag 'powerpc-5.3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Notable changes:

- Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
(yet?) made it upstream.

- A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
kernel crashes.

- Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

- A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.
