This gets rid of an unused variable `error' in sys_ia32.c:sys32_epoll_wait()
Getting rid of this one makes parsing the output of the kernecomp
autobuild easier --- searching for `Error' to find a problem kept
hitting this one, even though it's only a warning.

In IA64 kernel, sys_mmap calls do_mmap2 and do_mmap2 returns addr if
len=0, which means the mmap sys call succeeds.
Posix.1 says:
The mmap() function shall fail if:
[EINVAL] The value of len is zero.
Here is a patch to fix it.

Patch from Charles Spirakis
Some linux customers want to optimize their applications on the latest
hardware but are not yet willing to upgrade to the latest kernel. This
patch provides a way to plug in an alternate, basic, and GPL'ed PMU
subsystem to help with their monitoring needs or for specialty work. It
can also be used in case of serious unexpected bugs in perfmon. Mutual
exclusion between the two subsystems is guaranteed, hence no conflict
can arise from both subsystem being present.

acpi_request_vector() is called in ia64_mca_init() to get the cpe_vector.
The problem is that acpi_request_vector() looks in platform_intr_list[] to
get the vector, but platform_intr_list[] is not initialized with a valid
vector until later (in sn_setup()). Without a valid vector the code
defaults to polling mode.
This patch moves the call to acpi_request_vector() from ia64_mca_init()
to ia64_mca_late_init(), which is after platform_intr_list[] is initialized.

Some time ago, GAS was fixed to bring the .spillpsp directive in line
with the Intel assembler manual (there was some disagreement as to
whether or not there is a built-in 16-byte offset). Unfortunately,
there are two places in the kernel where this directive is used in
handwritten assembly files and those of course relied on the "buggy"
behavior. As a result, when using a "fixed" assembler, the kernel
picks up the UNaT bits from the wrong place (off by 16) and randomly
sets NaT bits on the scratch registers. This can be noticed easily by
looking at a coredump and finding various scratch registers with
unexpected NaT values. The patch below fixes this by using the
.spillsp directive instead, which works correctly no matter what
assembler is in use.

Without this patch, the stack is placed _below_ the current task

Tony, I think this patch needs to go into 2.6.12, since it fixes a

While looking at code generated by gcc4.0 I noticed some functions still
had frame pointers, even after we stopped ppc64 from defining
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. It turns out kernel/Makefile hardwires
-fno-omit-frame-pointer on when compiling schedule.c.
Create CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER and define it on architectures
that dont require frame pointers in sched.c code.

- pfm_context_load(): change return value from EINVAL to EBUSY
when context is already loaded.
- pfm_check_task_state(): pass test if context state is MASKED.
It is safe to give access on PFM_CTX_MASKED because the PMU
state (PMD) is stable and saved in software state.
This helps multiplexing programs such as the example given
in libpfm-3.1.

The pmu_active test is based on the values of PSR.up. THIS IS THE PROBLEM as
it does not take into account the lazy restore logic which is as follow (simplified):
context switch out:
save PMDs
clear psr.up
release ownership
context switch in:
if (ctx->last_cpu == smp_processor_id() && ctx->cpu_activation == cpu_activation) {
set psr.up
return
}
restore PMD
restore PMC
ctx->last_cpu = smp_processor_id();
ctx->activation = ++cpu_activation;
set psr.up
The key here is that on context switch out, we clear psr.up and on context switch in
we check if nobody else used the PMU on that processor since last time we came. In
that case, we assume the PMD/PMC are ours and we simply reactivate.
The Caliper problem is that between the moment we context switch out and the moment we
come back, nobody effectively used the PMU BUT the processor went idle. Normally this
would have no incidence but PAL_HALT does alter the PMU registers. In default_idle(),
the test on psr.up is not strong enough to cover this case and we go into PAL which
trashed the PMU resgisters. When we come back we falsely assume that this is our state
yet it is corrupted. Very nasty indeed.
To avoid the problem it is necessary to forbid going to PAL_HALT as soon as perfmon
installs some valid state in the PMU registers. This happens with an application
attaches a context to a thread or CPU. It is not enough to check the psr/dcr bits.
Hence I propose the attached patch. It adds a callback in process.c to modify the
condition to enter PAL on idle. Basically, now it is conditional to pal_halt=1 AND
perfmon saying it is okay.

Jack Steiner uncovered some opportunities for improvement in
the MCA recovery code.
1) Set bsp to save registers on the kernel stack.
2) Disable interrupts while in the MCA recovery code.
3) Change the way the user process is killed, to avoid
a panic in schedule.
Testing shows that these changes make the recovery code much
more reliable with the 2.6.12 kernel.

Andi noted that during normal runtime cpu_idle_map is bounced around a lot,
and occassionally at a higher frequency than the timer interrupt wakeup
which we normally exit pm_idle from. So switch to a percpu variable.
I didn't move things to the slow path because it would involve adding
scheduler code to wakeup the idle thread on the cpus we're waiting for.

This is a small patch to switch fluch_icache_range() to use fc.i
instead of fc. This would save time on processors which can establish
i-cache coherency without flushing the cache-line out to memory (not
that any current processors do). On existing processors, fc.i behaves
like fc. The only caveat is that very old assemblers may not know
about fc.i yet.

We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments,
but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually
invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that.
While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it
take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made,
because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall.
Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for
the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register
rather than only returning a single register.
Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'.

[IA64] fix ia64 Kconfig to allow CONFIG_PM on sn2
This probably should have been fixed when I fixed up the generic build for
discontig+numa machines, but oh well.
CONFIG_PM is allowable for generic builds but not for sn2 builds, which
doesn't make much sense, and in fact breaks the build if recent ACPI bits are
added to the tree. It looks like the only arch that needs to prevent
CONFIG_PM stuff is the ski simulator (though those options could probably use
some cleanup as well), so remove the big conditional and replace it with a
simple test for IA64_HP_SIM instead.

Current ia64 linux cannot handle greater than 184 interrupt sources
because of the lack of vectors. The following patch enables ia64 linux
to handle greater than 184 interrupt sources by allowing the same
vector number to be shared by multiple IOSAPIC's RTEs. The design of
this patch is besed on "Intel(R) Itanium(R) Processor Family Interrupt
Architecture Guide".
Even if you don't have a large I/O system, you can see the behavior of
vector sharing by changing IOSAPIC_LAST_DEVICE_VECTOR to fewer value.
