The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and
parse_args(,unknown_bootoption).
And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup().
start_kernel()
-> parse_args()
-> unknown_bootoption()
-> obsolete_checksetup()
If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in
obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was
handled.
If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other
->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0,
a parameter is seted to argv_init[].
Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app.
If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.
This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

Mark unwind info for signal trampolines using the new S augmentation flag
introduced in: http://gcc.gnu.org/PR26208.
GCC 4.2 (or patched earlier GCC) will be able to special case unwinding
through frames right above signal trampolines. As the augmentations start
with z flag and S is at the very end of the augmentation string, older GCCs
will just skip the S flag as unknown (that's why an augmentation flag was
chosen over say a new CFA opcode).

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.
We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.
This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.
We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

A bug in the RTAS services incorrectly interprets some bits in the CR
when called from the OS. Specifically, bits in CR4. The result could
be a firmware crash that also takes down the partition. A firmware
fix is in the works. We have seen this situation when performing DLPAR
operations. As a temporary workaround, clear the CR in enter_rtas().
Note that enter_rtas() will not set any bits in CR4 before calling RTAS.
Also note that the 32 bit version of enter_rtas() should have the same
work around even though the chances of hitting the bug are much smaller
due to the lack of DLPAR on 32 bit kernels. However, my assembly skills
are a bit rusty and the 32 bit code doesn't seem to follow the conventions
for where things should be saved. In addition, I don't have a system
to test 32 bit kernels. Help creating and at least touch testing the
same workaround for 32 bit would be appreciated.

*) When setting a sighandler using sigaction() call, if the flag
SA_ONSTACK is set and no alternate stack is provided via sigaltstack(),
the kernel still try to install the alternate stack. This behavior is
the opposite of the one which is documented in Single Unix
Specifications V3.
*) Also when setting an alternate stack using sigaltstack() with the
flag SS_DISABLE, the kernel try to install the alternate stack on
signal delivery.
These two use cases makes the process crash at signal delivery.

This fixes a mistake I made when editing these functions - when I
took out the interrupt disabling code (because interrupts are now
disabled by the caller) I left the register that is used for the MSR
value to be used during doze/nap uninitialized. This fixes it.
Also updated some of the comments in idle_power4.S and removed some
code that was copied over from idle_6xx.S but is no longer relevant
(we don't ever clear the CPU_FTR_CAN_NAP bit at runtime for POWER4).

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
ATOMIC CHAINS
-------------

---------------

net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain
It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

We currently have a hack to flip the boot cpu and its secondary thread
to logical cpuid 0 and 1. This means the logical - physical mapping will
differ depending on which cpu is boot cpu. This is most apparent on
kexec, where we might kexec on any cpu and therefore change the mapping
from boot to boot.
The patch below does a first pass early on to work out the logical cpuid
of the boot thread. We then fix up some paca structures to match.
Ive also removed the boot_cpuid_phys variable for ppc64, to be
consistent we use get_hard_smp_processor_id(boot_cpuid) everywhere.

The address of variable val in prom_init_stdout is passed to prom_getprop.
prom_getprop casts the pointer to u32 and passes it to call_prom in the hope
that OpenFirmware stores something there.
But the pointer is truncated in the lower bits and the expected value is
stored somewhere else.
In my testing I had a stackpointer of 0x0023e6b4. val was at offset 120,
wich has address 0x0023e72c. But the value passed to OF was 0x0023e728.
c00000000040b710: 3b 01 00 78 addi r24,r1,120
...
c00000000040b754: 57 08 00 38 rlwinm r8,r24,0,0,28
...
c00000000040b784: 80 01 00 78 lwz r0,120(r1)
...
c00000000040b798: 90 1b 00 0c stw r0,12(r27)
...
The stackpointer came from 32bit code.
The chain was yaboot -> zImage -> vmlinux
PowerMac OpenFirmware does appearently not handle the ELF sections
correctly. If yaboot was compiled in
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/lilo-10.1.1/yaboot, then the stackpointer is
unaligned. But the stackpointer is correct if yaboot is compiled in
/tmp/yaboot.
This bug triggered since 2.6.15, now prom_getprop is an inline
function. gcc clears the lower bits, instead of just clearing the
upper 32 bits.

powerpc currently declares some of its own system calls
in <asm/unistd.h>, but not all of them. That place also
contains remainders of the now almost unused kernel syscall
hack.
- Add a new <asm/syscalls.h> with clean declarations
- Include that file from every source that implements one
of these
- Get rid of old declarations in <asm/unistd.h>
This patch is required as a base for implementing system
calls from an SPU, but also makes sense as a general

Provide proper kprobes fault handling, if a user-specified pre/post handlers
tries to access user address space, through copy_from_user(), get_user() etc.
The user-specified fault handler gets called only if the fault occurs while
executing user-specified handlers. In such a case user-specified handler is
allowed to fix it first, later if the user-specifed fault handler does not fix
it, we try to fix it by calling fix_exception().
The user-specified handler will not be called if the fault happens when single
stepping the original instruction, instead we reset the current probe and
allow the system page fault handler to fix it up.

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very
few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side
effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by
gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond. There were two reasons:
(1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31
timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and
(2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of
jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards
when the timebase factor gets reduced.
This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in
2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b)
adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday
result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock
and the timer interrupt is late). In this case the adjustment will
reduce to zero eventually because of (a).

A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
simplified and improved:
* 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
bit being set. In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
which is not necessarily the current system call.
* 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.
* _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
_TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
by system calls. I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.
* On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
was traced or single-stepped). Thus the non-volatile registers
weren't restored on exit from a signal handler. We probably got
away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
alter the non-volatile registers.
* On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
preemption and signal delivery.
* 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.
* I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
enable interrupts first.

yaboot is scrogged and calls us with an invalid stack alignment,
it seems.
Thanks to David Woodhouse to pointing me to the problem.

On logically-partitioned machines the first element of the reg
property in the memory node is defined to be the "RMO" region,
i.e. the memory that the processor can access in real mode. On other
machines the first element has no special meaning, so only take it to
be the RMO region on LPAR machines.
