As the RSS grows, grow the TSB in order to reduce the likelyhood
of hash collisions and thus poor hit rates in the TSB.
This definitely needs some serious tuning.

This also cleans up tsb_context_switch(). The assembler
routine is now __tsb_context_switch() and the former is
an inline function that picks out the bits from the mm_struct
and passes it into the assembler code as arguments.
setup_tsb_parms() computes the locked TLB entry to map the
TSB. Later when we support using the physical address quad
load instructions of Cheetah+ and later, we'll simply use
the physical address for the TSB register value and set
the map virtual and PTE both to zero.

Move {init_new,destroy}_context() out of line.
Do not put huge pages into the TSB, only base page size translations.
There are some clever things we could do here, but for now let's be
correct instead of fancy.

UltraSPARC has special sets of global registers which are switched to
for certain trap types. There is one set for MMU related traps, one
set of Interrupt Vector processing, and another set (called the
Alternate globals) for all other trap types.
For what seems like forever we've hard coded the values in some of
these trap registers. Some examples include:
1) Interrupt Vector global %g6 holds current processors interrupt
work struct where received interrupts are managed for IRQ handler
dispatch.
2) MMU global %g7 holds the base of the page tables of the currently
active address space.
3) Alternate global %g6 held the current_thread_info() value.
Such hardcoding has resulted in some serious issues in many areas.
There are some code sequences where having another register available
would help clean up the implementation. Taking traps such as
cross-calls from the OBP firmware requires some trick code sequences
wherein we have to save away and restore all of the special sets of
global registers when we enter/exit OBP.
We were also using the IMMU TSB register on SMP to hold the per-cpu
area base address, which doesn't work any longer now that we actually
use the TSB facility of the cpu.
The implementation is pretty straight forward. One tricky bit is
getting the current processor ID as that is different on different cpu
variants. We use a stub with a fancy calling convention which we
patch at boot time. The calling convention is that the stub is
branched to and the (PC - 4) to return to is in register %g1. The cpu
number is left in %g6. This stub can be invoked by using the
__GET_CPUID macro.
We use an array of per-cpu trap state to store the current thread and
physical address of the current address space's page tables. The
TRAP_LOAD_THREAD_REG loads %g6 with the current thread from this
table, it uses __GET_CPUID and also clobbers %g1.
TRAP_LOAD_IRQ_WORK is used by the interrupt vector processing to load
the current processor's IRQ software state into %g6. It also uses
__GET_CPUID and clobbers %g1.
Finally, TRAP_LOAD_PGD_PHYS loads the physical address base of the
current address space's page tables into %g7, it clobbers %g1 and uses
__GET_CPUID.
Many refinements are possible, as well as some tuning, with this stuff
in place.

With the per-cpu caching of both the page allocator and SLAB, the

We now use the TSB hardware assist features of the UltraSPARC
MMUs.
SMP is currently knowingly broken, we need to find another place
to store the per-cpu base pointers. We hid them away in the TSB
base register, and that obviously will not work any more :-)
Another known broken case is non-8KB base page size.
Also noticed that flush_tlb_all() is not referenced anywhere, only
the internal __flush_tlb_all() (local cpu only) is used by the
sparc64 port, so we can get rid of flush_tlb_all().
The kernel gets it's own 8KB TSB (swapper_tsb) and each address space
gets it's own private 8K TSB. Later we can add code to dynamically
increase the size of per-process TSB as the RSS grows. An 8KB TSB is
good enough for up to about a 4MB RSS, after which the TSB starts to
incur many capacity and conflict misses.
We even accumulate OBP translations into the kernel TSB.
Another area for refinement is large page size support. We could use
a secondary address space TSB to handle those.

moved the the code from arch/sparc64/kernel/entry.S:
lduba [%g7] ASI_PHYS_BYPASS_EC_E, %g5
or %g5, AUXIO_AUX1_FTCNT, %g5
stba %g5, [%g7] ASI_PHYS_BYPASS_EC_E
andn %g5, AUXIO_AUX1_FTCNT, %g5
stba %g5, [%g7] ASI_PHYS_BYPASS_EC_E
to arch/sparc64/kernel/irq.c:
val = readb(auxio_register);
val |= AUXIO_AUX1_FTCNT;
writeb(val, auxio_register);
val &= AUXIO_AUX1_FTCNT;
writeb(val, auxio_register);
This looks like it it missing a bitwise not, which is reintroduced
by this patch.

The 40-bit DMA workaround recently implemented for 5714, 5715, and
5780 needs to be expanded because there may be other tg3 devices
behind the EPB Express to PCIX bridge in the 5780 class device.
For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind
the 5714.
All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround.
Thanks to Chris Elmquist again for reporting the problem and testing

If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3
(or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall
through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any
other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet.
Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported
AX.25 dialects.
The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather
unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.

VIDEO_CX88_ALSA should not be between VIDEO_CX88_DVB and
VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDS
When cx88-alsa was added to cx88/Kconfig, it was added in between
VIDEO_CX88_DVB and VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDS. This caused
undesireable effects to the appearance of the menu options in
menuconfig.
This fix reorders cx88-alsa and cx88-dvb in Kconfig, to match saa7134,
and restore the correct menuconfig appearance.

From Dave Johnson <djohnson+linuxmips@sw.starentnetworks.com>:
sb1250_gettimeoffset() simply reads the current cpu 0 timer remaining
value, however once this counter reaches 0 and the interrupt is raised,
it immediately resets and begins to count down again.
If sb1250_gettimeoffset() is called on cpu 1 via do_gettimeofday() after
the timer has reset but prior to cpu 0 processing the interrupt and
taking write_seqlock() in timer_interrupt() it will return a full value
(or close to it) causing time to jump backwards 1ms. Once cpu 0 handles
the interrupt and timer_interrupt() gets far enough along it will jump
forward 1ms.
Fix this problem by implementing mips_hpt_*() on sb1250 using a spare
timer unrelated to the existing periodic interrupt timers. It runs at
1Mhz with a full 23bit counter. This eliminated the custom
do_gettimeoffset() for sb1250 and allowed use of the generic
fixed_rate_gettimeoffset() using mips_hpt_*() and timerhi/timerlo.

Lee Revell reported 28ms latency when process with lots of swapped memory
exits.
2.6.15 introduced a latency regression when unmapping: in accounting the
zap_work latency breaker, pte_none counted 1, pte_present PAGE_SIZE, but a
swap entry counted nothing at all. We think of pages present as the slow
case, but Lee's trace shows that free_swap_and_cache's radix tree lookup
can make a lot of work - and we could have been doing it many thousands of
times without a latency break.
Move the zap_work update up to account swap entries like pages present.
This does account non-linear pte_file entries, and unmap_mapping_range
skipping over swap entries, by the same amount even though they're quick:
but neither of those cases deserves complicating the code (and they're
treated no worse than they were in 2.6.14).

The dm-stripe target currently does not enforce that the size of a stripe
device be a multiple of the chunk-size. Under certain conditions, this can
lead to I/O requests going off the end of an underlying device. This
test-case shows one example.
echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 0" | dmsetup create linear0
echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 100" | dmsetup create linear1
echo "0 200 striped 2 32 /dev/mapper/linear0 0 /dev/mapper/linear1 0" | \
dmsetup create stripe0
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/stripe0 bs=1k
This will produce the output:
dd: writing '/dev/mapper/stripe0': Input/output error
97+0 records in
96+0 records out
And in the kernel log will be:
attempt to access beyond end of device
dm-0: rw=0, want=104, limit=100
The patch will check that the table size is a multiple of the stripe
chunk-size when the table is created, which will prevent the above striped
device from being created.
This should not affect tools like LVM or EVMS, since in all the cases I can
think of, striped devices are always created with the sizes being a
multiple of the chunk-size.
The size of a stripe device must be a multiple of its chunk-size.

subsequently onlining it resulted in a lockup.
On x86, CPU0 is never offlined. The subsequent attempt to online CPU0
