Broke the non modular builds by moving an essential function into
modules.c. Fix this by moving it out again and into asm/sections.h as
an inline. To do this, the definitions of struct fdesc and struct
got_val have been lifted out of modules.c and put in asm/elf.h where
they belong.

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7. However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors
Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

When running a 31-bit ptrace, on either an s390 or s390x kernel,
reads and writes into a padding area in struct user_regs_struct32
will result in a kernel panic.
This is also known as CVE-2008-1514.
Test case available here:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/user-area-padding.c?cvsroot=systemtap
Steps to reproduce:
1) wget the above
2) gcc -o user-area-padding-31bit user-area-padding.c -Wall -ggdb2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m31
3) ./user-area-padding-31bit
<panic>
Test status
-----------
Without patch, both s390 and s390x kernels panic. With patch, the test case,
as well as the gdb testsuite, pass without incident, padding area reads
returning zero, writes ignored.
Nb: original version returned -EINVAL on write attempts, which broke the
gdb test and made the test case slightly unhappy, Jan Kratochvil suggested
the change to return 0 on write attempts.

On 32-bit, at least the generic nops are fairly reasonable, but the
default nops for 64-bit really look pretty sad, and the P6 nops really do
look better.
So I would suggest perhaps moving the static P6 nop selection into the
CONFIG_X86_64 thing.
The alternative is to just get rid of that static nop selection, and just
have two cases: 32-bit and 64-bit, and just pick obviously safe cases for
them.

We currently have a race when scheduling a context to a SPE -
after we have found a runnable context in spusched_tick, the same
context may have been scheduled by spu_activate().
This may result in a panic if we try to unschedule a context that has
been freed in the meantime.
This change exits spu_schedule() if the context has already been
scheduled, so we don't end up scheduling it twice.

Exception stacks are allocated each time a CPU is set online.
But the allocated space is never freed. Thus with one CPU hotplug

Fix is to allocate exception stacks only once -- when the CPU is

Krzysztof Helt found MTRR is not detected on k6-2
root cause:
we moved mtrr_bp_init() early for mtrr trimming,
and in early_detect we only read the CPU capability from cpuid,
so some cpu doesn't have that bit in cpuid.
So we need to add early_init_xxxx to preset those bit before mtrr_bp_init
for those earlier cpus.

This patch provides an ARM implementation of ioremap_wc().
We use different page table attributes depending on which CPU we
are running on:
- Non-XScale ARMv5 and earlier systems: The ARMv5 ARM documents four
possible mapping types (CB=00/01/10/11). We can't use any of the
cached memory types (CB=10/11), since that breaks coherency with
peripheral devices. Both CB=00 and CB=01 are suitable for _wc, and
CB=01 (Uncached/Buffered) allows the hardware more freedom than
CB=00, so we'll use that.
(The ARMv5 ARM seems to suggest that CB=01 is allowed to delay stores
but isn't allowed to merge them, but there is no other mapping type
we can use that allows the hardware to delay and merge stores, so
we'll go with CB=01.)
- XScale v1/v2 (ARMv5): same as the ARMv5 case above, with the slight
difference that on these platforms, CB=01 actually _does_ allow
merging stores. (If you want noncoalescing bufferable behavior
on Xscale v1/v2, you need to use XCB=101.)
- Xscale v3 (ARMv5) and ARMv6+: on these systems, we use TEXCB=00100
mappings (Inner/Outer Uncacheable in xsc3 parlance, Uncached Normal
in ARMv6 parlance).
The ARMv6 ARM explicitly says that any accesses to Normal memory can
be merged, which makes Normal memory more suitable for _wc mappings
than Device or Strongly Ordered memory, as the latter two mapping
types are guaranteed to maintain transaction number, size and order.
We use the Uncached variety of Normal mappings for the same reason
that we can't use C=1 mappings on ARMv5.
The xsc3 Architecture Specification documents TEXCB=00100 as being
Uncacheable and allowing coalescing of writes, which is also just
what we need.

We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because:
1) some HPETs are 32bit only
2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide
The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did
not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and
64 bit.
This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents
code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit
unawareness.
unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit.
but the final compare will fail and return -ETIME causing endless
loops.

The CPU feature detection code in the boot code is somewhat minimal,
and doesn't include all possible CPUID words. In particular, it
doesn't contain the code for CPU feature words 2 (Transmeta),
3 (Linux-specific), 5 (VIA), or 7 (scattered). Zero them out, so we
can still set those bits as known at compile time; in particular, this
allows creating a Linux-specific NOPL flag and have it required (and
therefore resolvable at compile time) in 64-bit mode.

The minimum reprogramming delta was hardcoded in HPET ticks,
which is stupid as it does not work with faster running HPETs.
The C1E idle patches made this prominent on AMD/RS690 chipsets,
where the HPET runs with 25MHz. Set it to 5us which seems to be
a reasonable value and fixes the problems on the bug reporters
machines. We have a further sanity check now in the clock events,
which increases the delta when it is not sufficient.

We currently have a race for a free SPE. With one thread doing a
spu_yield(), and another doing a spu_activate():
thread 1 thread 2
spu_yield(oldctx) spu_activate(ctx)
__spu_deactivate(oldctx)
spu_unschedule(oldctx, spu)
spu->alloc_state = SPU_FREE
spu = spu_get_idle(ctx)
- searches for a SPE in
state SPU_FREE, gets
the context just
freed by thread 1
spu_schedule(ctx, spu)
spu->alloc_state = SPU_USED
spu_schedule(newctx, spu)
- assumes spu is still free
- tries to schedule context on
already-used spu
This change introduces a 'free_spu' flag to spu_unschedule, to indicate
whether or not the function should free the spu after descheduling the
