This changes the powerpc linker script to use the asm-generic NOTES macro so
that ELF note sections with SHF_ALLOC set are linked into the kernel image
along with other read-only data. The PT_NOTE also points to their location.
This paves the way for putting useful build-time information into ELF notes
that can be found easily later in a kernel memory dump.

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that
doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once
wrote code like this:
struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };
And then his kernel exploded. Oops.
This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.
We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow
applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system.
Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need
to support an inode operation called ->fallocate().
Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain
level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications
also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the
the system becomes full.
Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which
can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working
on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to
each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems
can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing
the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that
posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first
and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall
back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks.
ToDos:
1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64,
and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from
previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later
once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches
in this take.
2. Changes to glibc,
a) to support fallocate() system call
b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate()

The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():
[<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8)

When booting a current kernel with CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME enabled you'll
see messages like:
[ 0.000000] time_init: decrementer frequency = 188.044000 MHz
[ 0.000000] time_init: processor frequency = 1504.352000 MHz
[3712914.436297] Console: colour dummy device 80x25
This cause by the initialisation of tb_to_ns_scale in time_init(), suddenly the
multiplication in sched_clock() now does something :). This patch modifies
sched_clock() to report the offset since the machine booted so the same
printk's now look like:
[ 0.000000] time_init: decrementer frequency = 188.044000 MHz
[ 0.000000] time_init: processor frequency = 1504.352000 MHz
[ 0.000135] Console: colour dummy device 80x25
Effectivly including the uptime in printk()s.
This patch makes tb_to_ns_scale and tb_to_ns_shift static and
read_mostly for good measure.

When the refcount for a device node goes to 0, we call the

So add a flag OF_DETACHED which tracks detached-ness, and if we
find ourselves in of_node_release() without it set, issue a
warning and don't free the device_node. To avoid warning
continuously reinitialise the kref to a sane value.

Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't
normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
the final argument on some architectures.
Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from
bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
sys_sync_file_range2() instead.
Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

Currently iSeries will recalibrate the cputime_factors in the first
settimeofday() call.
It seems the reason for doing this is to ensure a resaonable time delta after
time_init(). On current kernels (with udev), this call is made 40-60 seconds
into the boot process, by moving it to a late initcall it is called
approximately 5 seconds after time_init() is called. This is sufficient to
recalibrate the timebase.

Add a printout of the params value to early_init_devtree.
This value is handy to have for comparison when debugging the
bootwrapper code.

This fixes a bug which can cause corruption of the floating-point state
on return from a signal handler. If we have a signal handler that has
used the floating-point registers, and it happens to context-switch to
another task while copying the interrupted floating-point state from the
user stack into the thread struct (e.g. because of a page fault, or
because it gets preempted), the context switch code will think that the
FP registers contain valid FP state that needs to be copied into the
thread_struct, and will thus overwrite the values that the signal return
code has put into the thread_struct.
This can occur because we clear the MSR bits that indicate the presence
of valid FP state after copying the state into the thread_struct. To fix
this we just move the clearing of the MSR bits to before the copy. A
similar potential problem also occurs with the Altivec state, and this
fixes that in the same way.

Consider the prototype for gettimeofday():
int gettimofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz);
Although it is valid to call with /either/ tv or tz being NULL, and
the C version of sys_gettimeofday() supports this, the current version
of gettimeofday() in the VDSO will SEGV if called with a NULL tv.
This adds a check for tv being NULL so that it doesn't SEGV.

On pSeries the firmware features are not setup until ppc_md.init_early,
so we can't do the firmware feature sections fixups till after this.
Currently firmware feature sections is only used on iSeries which inits
the firmware features much earlier. This is a bug in waiting on
pSeries.
