From source code inspection, I think there is a bug with 4 level
page table with vhpt_miss handler. In the code path of rechecking
page table entry against previously read value after tlb insertion,
*pte value in register r18 was overwritten with value newly read
from pud pointer, render the check of new *pte against previous
*pte completely wrong. Though the bug is none fatal and the penalty
is to purge the entry and retry. For functional correctness, it
should be fixed. The fix is to use a different register so new
*pud don't trash *pte. (btw, the comments in the cmp statement is
wrong as well, which I will address in the next patch).

The vDSO functions should have the same calling convention as a syscall.
Unfortunately, they currently don't set the cr0.so bit which is used to
indicate an error. This patch makes them clear this bit unconditionally
since all functions currently succeed. The syscall fallback done by some
of them will eventually override this if the syscall fails.
This also changes the symbol version of all vdso exports to make sure
glibc can differenciate between old and fixed calls for existing ones
like __kernel_gettimeofday.

I discovered that in some cases (PowerMac for example) we wouldn't
properly map the PCI IO space on recent kernels. In addition, the code
for initializing PCI host bridges was scattered all over the place with
some duplication between platforms.
This patch fixes the problem and does a small cleanup by creating a
pcibios_alloc_controller() in pci_64.c that is similar to the one in
pci_32.c (just takes an additional device node argument) that takes care
of all the grunt allocation and initialisation work. It should work for
both boot time and dynamically allocated PHBs.

Currently 8xx fails to boot due to endless pagefaults.
Seems the bug is exposed by the change which avoids flushing the
TLB when not necessary (in case the pte has not changed), introduced
recently:
__handle_mm_fault():
entry = pte_mkyoung(entry);
if (!pte_same(old_entry, entry)) {
ptep_set_access_flags(vma, address, pte, entry, write_access);
update_mmu_cache(vma, address, entry);
lazy_mmu_prot_update(entry);
} else {
/*
* This is needed only for protection faults but the arch code
* is not yet telling us if this is a protection fault or not.
* This still avoids useless tlb flushes for .text page faults
* with threads.
*/
if (write_access)
flush_tlb_page(vma, address);
}
The "update_mmu_cache()" call was unconditional before, which caused the TLB
to be flushed by:
if (pfn_valid(pfn)) {
struct page *page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
if (!PageReserved(page)
&& !test_bit(PG_arch_1, &page->flags)) {
if (vma->vm_mm == current->active_mm) {
#ifdef CONFIG_8xx
/* On 8xx, cache control instructions (particularly
* "dcbst" from flush_dcache_icache) fault as write
* operation if there is an unpopulated TLB entry
* for the address in question. To workaround that,
* we invalidate the TLB here, thus avoiding dcbst
* misbehaviour.
*/
_tlbie(address);
#endif
__flush_dcache_icache((void *) address);
} else
flush_dcache_icache_page(page);
set_bit(PG_arch_1, &page->flags);
}
Which worked to due to pure luck: PG_arch_1 was always unset before, but
now it isnt.
The root of the problem are the changes against the 8xx TLB handlers introduced
during v2.6. What happens is the TLBMiss handlers load the zeroed pte into
the TLB, causing the TLBError handler to be invoked (thats two TLB faults per
pagefault), which then jumps to the generic MM code to setup the pte.
The bug is that the zeroed TLB is not invalidated (the same reason
for the "dcbst" misbehaviour), resulting in infinite TLBError faults.
The "two exception" approach requires a TLB flush (to nuke the zeroed TLB)
at each PTE update for correct behaviour:

This patch should fix the crashes we have been seeing on 64-bit
powerpc systems with a memory hole when sparsemem is enabled.
I'd appreciate it if people who know more about NUMA and sparsemem
than me could look over it.
There were two bugs. The first was that if NUMA was enabled but there
was no NUMA information for the machine, the setup_nonnuma() function
was adding a single region, assuming memory was contiguous. The
second was that the loops in mem_init() and show_mem() assumed that
all pages within the span of a pgdat were valid (had a valid struct
page).
I also fixed the incorrect setting of num_physpages that Mike Kravetz
pointed out.

Our performance validation on 2.6.15-rc1 caught a disastrous performance
regression on ia64 with netperf (-98%) and volanomark (-58%) compares to
previous kernel version 2.6.14-git7. See the following chart (result
group 1 & 2).
http://kernel-perf.sourceforge.net/results.machine_id=26.html
We have root caused it to commit 64c7c8f885
This changeset broke the ia64 task resched notification. In
sched.c:resched_task(), a reschedule IPI is conditioned upon
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG. However, the above changeset unconditionally set
the polling thread flag for idle tasks regardless whether pal_halt_light
is in use or not. As a result, resched IPI is not sent from
resched_task(). And since the default behavior on ia64 is to use
pal_halt_light, we end up delaying the rescheduling task until next
timer tick, and thus cause the performance regression.
This fixes the performance bug. I'm glad our performance suite is
turning up bad performance bug like this in time.

The current x86_64 NUMA memory code is inconsequent when it comes to node
memory ranges. The exact behaviour varies depending on which config option
that is used.
setup_node_bootmem() has start and end as arguments and these are used to
calculate the size of the node like this: (end - start). This is all fine
if end is pointing to the first non-available byte. The problem is that the
current x86_64 code sometimes treats it as the last present byte and sometimes
as the first non-available byte. The result is that some configurations might
lose a page at the end of the range.
This patch tries to fix CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA, CONFIG_K8_NUMA and CONFIG_NUMA_EMU
so they all treat the end variable as the first non-available byte. This is
the same way as the single node code.
The patch is boot tested on dual x86_64 hardware with the above configurations,
but maybe the removed code is needed as some workaround?

On x86_64 arches, there is no way to choose ACPI_NUMA without having to choose
K8_NUMA. CONFIG_K8_NUMA is not needed for Intel EM64T NUMA boxes. It also
looks odd if you have to select ACPI_NUMA from the power management menu.
This patch fixes those oddities. Patch does the following:
1. Makes NUMA a config option like other arches
2. Makes topology detection options like K8_NUMA dependent on NUMA
3. Choosing ACPI NUMA detection can be done from the standard
"Processor type and features" menu

Keeping this function does not makes sense because it's a copied (and
buggy) copy of sys_time. The only difference is that now.tv_sec (which is
a time_t, i.e. a 64-bit long) is copied (and truncated) into a int
(32-bit).
The prototype is the same (they both take a long __user *), so let's drop
this and redirect it to sys_time (and make sure it exists by defining
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME).
Only disadvantage is that the sys_stime definition is also compiled (may be
fixed if needed by adding a separate __ARCH_WANT_SYS_STIME macro, and
defining it for all arch's defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME except x86_64).

With a NR_CPUS==128 kernel with CPU hotplug enabled we would waste 4MB
on per CPU data of all possible CPUs. The reason was that HOTPLUG
always set up possible map to NR_CPUS cpus and then we need to allocate
that much (each per CPU data is roughly ~32k now)
The underlying problem is that ACPI didn't tell us how many hotplug CPUs
the platform supports. So the old code just assumed all, which would
lead to this memory wastage.
This implements some new heuristics:
- If the BIOS specified disabled CPUs in the ACPI/mptables assume they
can be enabled later (this is bending the ACPI specification a bit,
but seems like a obvious extension)
- The user can overwrite it with a new additionals_cpus=NUM option
- Otherwise use half of the available CPUs or 2, whatever is more.
