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.

Attached is a patch against David's audit.17 kernel that adds checks
for the TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT thread flag to the ia64 system call and
signal handling code paths. The patch enables auditing of system
calls set up via fsys_bubble_down, as well as ensuring that
audit_syscall_exit() is called on return from sigreturn.
Neglecting to check for TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT at these points results in
incorrect information in audit_context, causing frequent system panics
when system call auditing is enabled on an ia64 system.
I have tested this patch and have seen no problems with it.

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.

Sadly, I goofed in this syscall-tuning patch:
ChangeSet 1.1966.1.40 2005/01/22 13:31:05 davidm@hpl.hp.com
[IA64] Improve ia64_leave_syscall() for McKinley-type cores.
Optimize ia64_leave_syscall() a bit better for McKinley-type cores.
The patch looks big, but that's mostly due to renaming r16/r17 to r2/r3.
Good for a 13 cycle improvement.
The problem is that the size of the physical stacked registers was
loaded into the wrong register (r3 instead of r17). Since r17 by
coincidence always had the value 1, this had the effect of turning
rse_clear_invalid into a no-op. That poses the risk of leaking kernel
state back to user-land and is hence not acceptable.
The fix below is simple, but unfortunately it costs us about 28 cycles
in syscall overhead. ;-(
Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about that since those
registers have to be cleared one way or another.

This fixes a couple of bugs in the zx1/sx1000 sba_iommu. These are
all pretty low likelihood of hitting. The first problem is a simple off
by one, deep in the sba_alloc_range() error path. Surrounding that was
a lock ordering problem that could have potentially deadlocked with the
order the locks are grabbed in sba_unmap_single(). I moved the resource
locking into sba_search_bitmap() to prevent this. Finally, there's a
potential race between unmapping pdir entries and marking incoming DMA
pages clean. If you see any oddities, please let me know, but I've
tested it pretty thoroughly here. Tony, please apply. Thanks,
BTW, many of the options in this driver not on by default are becoming
more and more broken. I'll be working on some patches to clean them
out, but I wanted to get this bug fix out first.

This patch introduces using the quicklists for pgd, pmd, and pte levels
by combining the alloc and free functions into a common set of routines.
This greatly simplifies the reading of this header file.
This patch is simple but necessary for large numa configurations.
It simply ensures that only pages from the local node are added to a
cpus quicklist. This prevents the trapping of pages on a remote nodes
quicklist by starting a process, touching a large number of pages to
fill pmd and pte entries, migrating to another node, and then unmapping
or exiting. With those conditions, the pages get trapped and if the
machine has more than 100 nodes of the same size, the calculation of
the pgtable high water mark will be larger than any single node so page
table cache flushing will never occur.
I ran lmbench lat_proc fork and lat_proc exec on a zx1 with and without
this patch and did not notice any change.
On an sn2 machine, there was a slight improvement which is possibly
due to pages from other nodes trapped on the test node before starting
the run. I did not investigate further.
This patch shrinks the quicklist based upon free memory on the node
instead of the high/low water marks. I have written it to enable
preemption periodically and recalculate the amount to shrink every time
we have freed enough pages that the quicklist size should have grown.
I rescan the nodes zones each pass because other processess may be
draining node memory at the same time as we are adding.

This patch adds the necessary "hook" to allow SGI/SN
machines to perform a system power off upon a
'init 0', 'halt -p', 'poweroff' or 'shutdown -h'.
The "hook" is to set the pm_power_off callback
to ia64_sn_power_down(). pm_power_off is checked
in machine_power_off()/do_poweroff() and, if set, is executed.
ia64_sn_power_down() is a function already present (but not
used currently) in the sn kernel.
ia64_sn_power_down() makes a SAL call to execute the
power off.
