d4d23add3a [PATCH] Common compat_sys_sysinfo
I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same
sys32_sysinfo...  except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of
the uptime.  So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit.
Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it
would be the best tested.

This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but
instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.

4564f9e5fd [PATCH] consolidate line discipline number definitions
The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture
individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in
asm/termios.h.  There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be
architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios
structure.  The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h
anyway.  So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of
the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too.

Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused
in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case
there are plans to use them yet.

Update all arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S to not include space for initramfs
when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRAMFS is not selected.  This saves another 4 kbytes

5ac6da669e [PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMA
As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA
channel management.  Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to
provide memory below 16M.  So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is
set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA.  Undo the modifications to
mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set
theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig.

Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be
switched off.  It can only be switched off if we know that all devices
supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of
memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and
IA64/Altix).

In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish
a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only
capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an
alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory
(like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that
call.  In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified
to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

86d43258bc [SPARC64]: Set g4/g5 properly in sun4v dtlb-prot handling.
Mirror the logic in the sun4u handler, we have to update
both registers even when we branch out to window fault
fixup handling.

The way it works is that if we are in etrap processing a
fault already, g4/g5 holds the original fault information.
If we take a window spill fault while doing etrap, then
we put the window spill fault info into g4/g5 and this is
what the top-level fault handler ends up processing first.

Then we retry the originally faulting instruction, and
process the original fault at that time.

This is all necessary because of how constrained the trap
registers are in these code paths.  These cases trigger
very rarely, so even if there is some performance implication
it's doesn't happen very often.  In fact the rarity is why
it took so long to trigger and find this particular bug.

b282b6f8a8 [PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from __devinit to __cpuinit
Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b7d) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__cpu_up

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up'

This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
defined as __devinit
AND
__cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.

Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
we get a .text refering .init.data warning.

This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
are of __init type.

Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
land up in .init section.

Tested on a i386 SMP machine running linux-2.6.20-rc3-mm1.

f088258966 [SPARC64]: Fix several kprobes bugs.
- relbranch_fixup(), for non-branches, would end up setting
  regs->tnpc incorrectly, in fact it would set it equal to
  regs->tpc which would cause that instruction to execute twice

  Also, if this is not a PC-relative branch, we should just
  leave regs->tnpc as-is.  This covers cases like 'jmpl' which
  branch to absolute values.

- To be absolutely %100 safe, we need to flush the instruction
  cache for all assignments to kprobe->ainsn.insn[], including
  cases like add_aggr_kprobe()

- prev_kprobe's status field needs to be 'unsigned long' to match
  the type of the value it is saving

- jprobes were totally broken:
  = jprobe_return() can run in the stack frame of the jprobe handler,
    or in an even deeper stack frame, thus we'll be in the wrong
    register window than the one from the original probe state.

    So unwind using 'restore' instructions, if necessary, right
    before we do the jprobe_return() breakpoint trap.

  = There is no reason to save/restore the register window saved
    at %sp at jprobe trigger time.  Those registers cannot be
    modified by the jprobe handler.  Also, this code was saving
    and restoring "sizeof (struct sparc_stackf)" bytes.  Depending
    upon the caller, this could clobber unrelated stack frame
    pieces if there is only a basic 128-byte register window
    stored on the stack, without the argument save area.

    So just saving and restoring struct pt_regs is sufficient.

  = Kill the "jprobe_saved_esp", totally unused.

    Also, delete "jprobe_saved_regs_location", with the stack frame
    unwind now done explicitly by jprobe_return(), this check is
    superfluous.

f0d1b0b30d [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel
This facility provides three entry points:

	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

	int do_something(long q)
	{
		...;
		y = ilog2(x)
		...;
	}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

	unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

24ec839c43 [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking
Fix the locking of signal->tty.

Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
by most other members of ->signal/->sighand.  And unless we are 'current'
or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.

(NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)

Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid.  Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
are governed by their open file handles.  This leaves some holes for tty
access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).

It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.

(NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
       be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
       it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
       invocations)

Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken.  This
set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.

The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of
independent processes sharing large shared memory segments.  In the normal
page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite
significant.  For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary
objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead
significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is
to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.

With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache
consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application
gets much higher cache hit ratio.  One other effect is that cache hit ratio
with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this
helps to reduce tlb miss latency.  These two effects contribute to higher
application performance.

fd593d1277 [PATCH] relocatable kernel: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbols
Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text
so that ld will generate relocations.  Allowing a relocatable
kernel to relocate them.  We can't actually use the symbol names
because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported
from their object files.

Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't
define it otherwise linker will fail.

ebf5a24829 PCI: Use pci_generic_prep_mwi on sparc64
The setting of the CACHE_LINE_SIZE register in sparc64's pci
initialisation code isn't quite adequate as the device may have
incompatible requirements.  The generic code tests for this, so switch
sparc64 over to using it.

Since sparc64 has different L1 cache line size and PCI cache line size,
it would need to override the generic code like i386 and ia64 do.  We
know what the cache line size is at compile time though, so introduce a
new optional constant PCI_CACHE_LINE_BYTES.

59359ff877 [SPARC]: Fix robust futex syscalls and wire up migrate_pages.
When I added the entries for the robust futex syscall entries, I
forgot to bump NR_SYSCALLS.  The current situation is error-prone
because NR_SYSCALLS lives in entry.S where the system call limit
checks are enforced.  Move the definition to asm/unistd.h in order to
make this mistake much more difficult to make.

And wire up sys_migrate_pages since the powerpc folks implemented the
compat wrapper for us.

9001f2850f [SPARC64]: Fix Tomatillo/Schizo IRQ handling.
The code in schizo_irq_trans_init() should set irq_data->sync_reg
to the location of the SYNC register if this is Tomatillo, and set
it to zero otherwise.  But that is not what it is doing.

As a result, non-Tomatillo systems were trying to access a
non-existent register resulting in bus errors at the first
PCI interrupt.

Thanks to Roland Stigge for the bug report.

4130a4b206 [SPARC64]: Fix central/FHC bus handling on Ex000 systems.
1) probe_other_fhcs() wants to see only non-central FHC
   busses, so skip FHCs that don't sit off the root

2) Like SBUS, FHC can lack the appropriate address and
   size cell count properties, so add an of_busses[]
   entry and handlers for that.

3) Central FHC irq translator probing was buggy.  We
   were trying to use dp->child in irq_trans_init but
   that linkage is not setup at this point.

   So instead, pass in the parent of "dp" and look for
   the child "fhc" with parent "central".

Thanks to the tireless assistence of Ben Collins in tracking
down these problems and testing out these fixes.

5aee87c43e [SPARC64]: Fix PCI memory space root resource on Hummingbird.
For Hummingbird PCI controllers, we should create the root
PCI memory space resource as the full 4GB area, and then
allocate the IOMMU DMA translation window out of there.

The old code just assumed that the IOMMU DMA translation base
to the top of the 4GB area was unusable.  This is not true on
many systems such as SB100 and SB150, where the IOMMU DMA
translation window sits at 0xc0000000->0xdfffffff.

So what would happen is that any device mapped by the firmware
at the top section 0xe0000000->0xffffffff would get remapped
by Linux somewhere else leading to all kinds of problems and
boot failures.

While we're here, report more cases of OBP resource assignment
conflicts.  The only truly valid ones are ROM resource conflicts.
