x86: Make x32 syscall support conditional on a kernel parameter
Enabling x32 in the standard amd64 kernel would increase its attack
surface while provide no benefit to the vast majority of its users.
No-one seems interested in regularly checking for vulnerabilities
specific to x32 (at least no-one with a white hat).
Still, adding another flavour just to turn on x32 seems wasteful. And
the only differences on syscall entry are two instructions (mask out
the x32 flag and compare the syscall number).
So pad the standard comparison with a nop and add a kernel parameter
"syscall.x32" which controls whether this is replaced with the x32
version at boot time. Add a Kconfig parameter to set the default.

powerpc/boot: Request no dynamic linker for boot wrapper
The boot wrapper performs its own relocations and does not require
PT_INTERP segment. However currently we don't tell the linker that.
Prior to binutils 2.28 that works OK. But since binutils commit
1a9ccd70f9a7 ("Fix the linker so that it will not silently generate ELF
binaries with invalid program headers. Fix readelf to report such
invalid binaries.") binutils tries to create a program header segment
due to PT_INTERP, and the link fails because there is no space for it:
ld: arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N
ld: final link failed: Bad value
So tell the linker not to do that, by passing --no-dynamic-linker.

radeon: Firmware is required for DRM and KMS on R600 onward
radeon requires firmware/microcode for the GPU in all chips, but for
newer chips (apparently R600 'Evergreen' onward) it also expects
firmware for the memory controller and other sub-blocks.
radeon attempts to gracefully fall back and disable some features if
the firmware is not available, but becomes unstable - the framebuffer
and/or system memory may be corrupted, or the display may stay black.
