Convert gfn_to_pfn to use get_user_pages_fast, which can do lockless
pagetable lookups on x86. Kernel compilation on 4-way guest is 3.7%

When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have
been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user
mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the
kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace.
The net is that we don't need to flush the TLB on privilege switches, but we do
on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time
performance improvement: about 30%.

We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it.
Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight
exits, but that could actually hurt when context switching to an unrelated host
process (i.e. not qemu).
Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves
guest boot time by about 15%.

This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser
tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in
all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst
exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.
This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm
since then.

1. arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi/gpio_mdio.c also needs to be
converted over to mdiobus_{alloc,free}().
2. drivers/net/phy/fixed.c used to embed a struct mii_bus into its
struct fixed_mdio_bus and then use container_of() to go from the
former to the latter. Since mii bus structures are no longer

Commit 00c5372d37a78990c1530184a9c792ee60a30067 caused the MPC8544DS
board to hang at boot. The MPC8544DS is unique in that it doesn't use
the PCI slots on the ULI (unlike the MPC8572DS or MPC8610HPCD). So
the dummy read at the end of the address space causes us to hang.
We can detect the situation by comparing the bridge's BARs versus
the root complex.

powerpc: Fix failure to shutdown with CPU hotplug
powerpc: Fix PCI in Holly device tree
|
|
I tracked down the shutdown regression to CPUs not dying
when being shut down during power-off. This turns out to
be due to the system_state being SYSTEM_POWER_OFF, which
this code doesn't take as a valid state for shutting off
CPUs in.
This has never made sense to me, but when I added hotplug
code to implement hibernate I only "made it work" and did
not question the need to check the system_state. Thomas
Gleixner helped me dig, but the only thing we found is
that it was added with the original commit that added CPU
hotplug support.

The PCI bridge on the Holly board is incorrectly represented in the
device tree. The current device tree node for the PCI bridge sits
under the tsi-bridge node. That's not obviously wrong, but the PCI
bridge translates some PCI spaces into CPU address ranges which were
not translated by the "ranges" property in tsi-bridge node.
We used to get away with this problem because the PCI bridge discovery
code was also buggy, assuming incorrectly that PCI host bridge nodes
were always directly under the root bus and treating the translated
addresses as raw CPU addresses, rather than parent bus addresses.
This has since been fixed, thus breaking Holly.
This could be fixed by adding extra translations to the tsi-bridge
node, but this patch instead moves the Holly PCI bridge out of the
tsi-bridge node to the root bus. This makes the tsi-bridge node
represent only the built-in IO devices in the bridge, with a
more-or-less contiguous address range. This is the same convention
used on Freescale SoC chips, where the "soc" node represents only the
IMMR region, and the PCI and other bus bridges are separate nodes
under the root bus.

On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.
First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.
On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core. The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

Currently a SIGTRAP can denote any one of below reasons.
- Breakpoint hit
- H/W debug register hit
- Single step
- Signal sent through kill() or rasie()
Architectures like powerpc/parisc provides infrastructure to demultiplex
SIGTRAP signal by passing down the information for receiving SIGTRAP through
si_code of siginfot_t structure. Here is an attempt is generalise this
infrastructure by extending it to x86 and x86_64 archs.

One of the changes in the bootwrapper makefile introduced the dtbImage
targets for boards that need a simple zImage with a DTB embedded in
them (595be948cce574ff2d5dde5d0426a636a4363c70, "[POWERPC]
bootwrapper: Build multiple cuImages"). When this was done, it broke
booting on the Holly board as the zImage.holly wrapper did not get the
DTB embedded properly.
This changes the target for the Holly board to a dtbImage so that the
wrapper includes the vmlinux, wrapper bits, and DTB.

For Freescale 8xxx devices that use an MPIC, the interrupt numbers in
the device tree must be 16 greater than the values documented in the
reference manual. In these chips, the MPIC is wired to use the first
16 numbers for external interrupts, but the documentation numbers
internal interrupts from 0.
In the MPC8610 HPCD device tree, the interrupt properties for the DMA
channels for DMA2 were not the adjusted values. This fixes that.

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors
Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.
The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.
Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
it right.

We currently have a race when scheduling a context to a SPE -
after we have found a runnable context in spusched_tick, the same
context may have been scheduled by spu_activate().
This may result in a panic if we try to unschedule a context that has

This change exits spu_schedule() if the context has already been

Currently, there are two different fields in the
mv643xx_eth_platform_data struct that together describe the PHY
address -- one field (phy_addr) has the address of the PHY, but if
that address is zero, a second field (force_phy_addr) needs to be
set to distinguish the actual address zero from a zero due to not
having filled in the PHY address explicitly (which should mean
'use the default PHY address').
If we are a bit smarter about the encoding of the phy_addr field,
we can avoid the need for a second field -- this patch does that.

We currently have a race for a free SPE. With one thread doing a
spu_yield(), and another doing a spu_activate():
thread 1 thread 2
spu_yield(oldctx) spu_activate(ctx)
__spu_deactivate(oldctx)
spu_unschedule(oldctx, spu)
spu->alloc_state = SPU_FREE
spu = spu_get_idle(ctx)
- searches for a SPE in
state SPU_FREE, gets
the context just
freed by thread 1
spu_schedule(ctx, spu)
spu->alloc_state = SPU_USED
spu_schedule(newctx, spu)
- assumes spu is still free
- tries to schedule context on
already-used spu
This change introduces a 'free_spu' flag to spu_unschedule, to indicate
whether or not the function should free the spu after descheduling the
context. We only set this flag if we're not going to re-schedule
another context on this SPU.
Add a comment to document this behaviour.

This bug is causing random crashes
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414).
-fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
interrupt.
This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work
around the gcc codegen bug.

Commit bc033b63bbfeb6c4b4eb0a1d083c650e4a0d2af8 ("powerpc/mm: Fix
attribute confusion with htab_bolt_mapping()") moved the check for
whether we should make pages of the linear mapping executable from
htab_bolt_mapping into its callers, including htab_initialize.
A side-effect of this is that the decision is now made once for
each contiguous section in the LMB array rather than for each page
individually. This can often mean that the whole of the linear
mapping ends up being executable.
This reverts to the previous behaviour, where individual pages are
checked for being part of the kernel text or not, by moving the check
back down into htab_bolt_mapping.

Fix the ioremap of the spu shadow regs on the PS3.
The current PS3 hypervisor requires the spu shadow regs to be
mapped with the PTE page protection bits set as read-only (PP=3).
This implementation uses the low level __ioremap() to bypass the
page protection settings inforced by ioremap_flags() to get the
needed PTE bits set for the shadow regs.
This fixes a runtime failure on the PS3 introduced by the powerpc
ioremap_prot rework of commit a1f242ff460e4b50a045fa237c3c56cce9eabf83
("powerpc ioremap_prot").
