d7c30c682a sh: Store Queue API rework.
Rewrite the store queue API for a per-cpu interface in the driver
model. The old miscdevice is dropped, due to TASK_SIZE limitations,
and no one was using it anyways.

Carve up and allocate store queue space with a bitmap, back sq
mapping objects with a slab cache, and let userspace worry about
its own prefetching.

298476220d sh: Add control register barriers.
Currently when making changes to control registers, we
typically need some time for changes to take effect (8
nops, generally).  However, for sh4a we simply need to
do an icbi..

This is a simple patch for implementing a general purpose
ctrl_barrier() which functions as a control register write
barrier. There's some additional documentation in the patch
itself, but it's pretty self explanatory.

There were also some places where we were not doing the
barrier, which didn't seem to have any adverse effects on
legacy parts, but certainly did on sh4a. It's safer to have
the barrier in place for legacy parts as well in these cases,
though this does make flush_tlb_all() more expensive (by an
order of 8 nops).  We can ifdef around the flush_tlb_all()
case for now if it's clear that all legacy parts won't have
a problem with this.

8b395265f8 sh: Fix fatal oops in copy_user_page() on sh4a (SH7780).
We had a pretty interesting oops happening, where copy_user_page()
was down()'ing p3map_sem[] with a bogus offset (particularly, an
offset that hadn't been initialized with sema_init(), due to the
mismatch between cpu_data->dcache.n_aliases and what was assumed
based off of the old CACHE_ALIAS value).

Luckily, spinlock debugging caught this for us, and so we drop
the old hardcoded CACHE_ALIAS for sh4 completely and rely on the
run-time probed cpu_data->dcache.alias_mask. This in turn gets
the p3map_sem[] index right, and everything works again.

While we're at it, also convert to 4-level page tables..

e8df8c3304 [PATCH] Make UML use ptrace-abi.h
Include the host architecture's ptrace-abi.h instead of ptrace.h.

There was some cpp mangling of names around the ptrace.h include to avoid
symbol clashes between UML and the host architecture.  Most of these can go
away.  The exception is struct pt_regs, which is convenient to have in
userspace, but must be renamed in order that UML can define its own.

ptrace-x86_64.h needed to have some now-obsolete cpp cruft and a declaration
removed.

70e0eb8ef1 [PATCH] Split i386 and x86_64 ptrace.h
The use of SEGMENT_RPL_MASK in the i386 ptrace.h introduced by
x86-allow-a-kernel-to-not-be-in-ring-0.patch broke the UML build, as UML
includes the underlying architecture's ptrace.h, but has no easy access to the
x86 segment definitions.

Rather than kludging around this, as in the past, this patch splits the
userspace-usable parts, which are the bits that UML needs, of ptrace.h into
ptrace-abi.h, which is included back into ptrace.h.  Thus, there is no net
effect on i386.

As a side-effect, this creates a ptrace header which is close to being usable
in /usr/include.

x86_64 is also treated in this way for consistency.  There was some trailing
whitespace there, which is cleaned up.

75e29b18d9 [PATCH] uml: stack usage reduction
The KSTK_* macros used an inordinate amount of stack.  In order to overcome
an impedance mismatch between their interface, which just returns a single
register value, and the interface of get_thread_regs, which took a full
pt_regs, the implementation created an on-stack pt_regs, filled it in, and
returned one field.  do_task_stat calls KSTK_* twice, resulting in two
local pt_regs, blowing out the stack.

This patch changes the interface (and name) of get_thread_regs to just
return a single register from a jmp_buf.

The include of archsetjmp.h" in registers.h to get the definition of
jmp_buf exposed a bogus include of <setjmp.h> in start_up.c.  <setjmp.h>
shouldn't be used anywhere any more since UML uses the klibc
setjmp/longjmp.

940864ddab [PATCH] swsusp: Use memory bitmaps during resume
Make swsusp use memory bitmaps to store its internal information during the
resume phase of the suspend-resume cycle.

If the pfns of saveable pages are saved during the suspend phase instead of
the kernel virtual addresses of these pages, we can use them during the resume
phase directly to set the corresponding bits in a memory bitmap.  Then, this
bitmap is used to mark the page frames corresponding to the pages that were
saveable before the suspend (aka "unsafe" page frames).

Next, we allocate as many page frames as needed to store the entire suspend
image and make sure that there will be some extra free "safe" page frames for
the list of PBEs constructed later.  Subsequently, the image is loaded and, if
possible, the data loaded from it are written into their "original" page
frames (ie.  the ones they had occupied before the suspend).

The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page frames are
loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel virtual addresses,
as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing their copies, are
stored in a list of PBEs.  Finally, the list of PBEs is used to copy the
remaining image data into their "original" page frames (this is done
atomically, by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp).

e3920fb42c [PATCH] Disable CPU hotplug during suspend
The current suspend code has to be run on one CPU, so we use the CPU
hotplug to take the non-boot CPUs offline on SMP machines.  However, we
should also make sure that these CPUs will not be enabled by someone else
after we have disabled them.

The functions disable_nonboot_cpus() and enable_nonboot_cpus() are moved to
kernel/cpu.c, because they now refer to some stuff in there that should
better be static.  Also it's better if disable_nonboot_cpus() returns an
error instead of panicking if something goes wrong, and
enable_nonboot_cpus() has no reason to panic(), because the CPUs may have
been enabled by the userland before it tries to take them online.

Crufty old PIII testbox:

I didn't implement the post-resume bio_set_pages_dirty().  I don't really
understand why resume needs to run set_page_dirty() against these pages.

It might be a worry that this code modifies PG_Uptodate, PG_Error and
PG_Locked against the image pages.  Can this possibly affect the resumed-into
kernel?  Hopefully not, if we're atomically restoring its mem_map?

6049742dbc [PATCH] x86: trivial move of __HAVE macros in i386 pagetable headers
Move the __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP defines to accompany the function definitions.
Anything else is just a complete nightmare to track through the 2/3-level
paging code, and this caused duplicate definitions to be needed (pte_same),
which could have easily been taken care of with the asm-generic pgtable
functions.

673eae8230 [PATCH] x86: trivial pgtable.h __ASSEMBLY__ move
Parsing generic pgtable.h in assembler is simply crazy.  None of this file is
needed in assembler code, and C inline functions and structures routine break
one or more different compiles.

5091e74684 [PATCH] Translate asm version of ELFNOTE macro into preprocessor macro
I've come across some problems with the assembly version of the ELFNOTE
macro currently in -mm. (in
x86-put-note-sections-into-a-pt_note-segment-in-vmlinux.patch)

The first is that older gas does not support :varargs in .macro
definitions (in my testing 2.17 does while 2.15 does not, I don't know
when it became supported). The Changes file says binutils >= 2.12 so I
think we need to avoid using it. There are no other uses in mainline or
-mm. Old gas appears to just ignore it so you get "too many arguments"
type errors.

Secondly it seems that passing strings as arguments to assembler macros
is broken without varargs. It looks like they get unquoted or each
character is treated as a separate argument or something and this causes
all manner of grief. I think this is because of the use of -traditional
when compiling assembly files.

Therefore I have translated the assembler macro into a pre-processor
macro.

I added the desctype as a separate argument instead of including it with
the descdata as the previous version did since -traditional means the
ELFNOTE definition after the #else needs to have the same number of
arguments (I think so anyway, the -traditional CPP semantics are pretty
fscking strange!).

With this patch I am able to define elfnotes in assembly like this with
both old and new assemblers.

	ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_OS,       .asciz, "linux")
	ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_VERSION,  .asciz, "2.6")
	ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_XEN_VERSION,    .asciz, "xen-3.0")
	ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_VIRT_BASE,      .long,  __PAGE_OFFSET)

Which seems reasonable enough.

9c9b8b3882 [PATCH] x86: put .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment in vmlinux
This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output
file.

To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment.  This requires us to
start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly
create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them
appropriately.  Fortunately, each section will default to its previous
section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S.

This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for
other architectures will be as simple.

This change also adds <linux/elfnote.h>, which defines C and Assembler macros
for actually creating ELF notes.
