Kprobes was eating the hardware instruction and data address
breakpoint exceptions. This patch fixes it; kprobes doesn't use those
exceptions at all and should ignore them.

if num has a value of -1, accessing the digits[] array will fail and the
format string will be printed in funny way, or not at all. This happens if
one prints negative numbers.
Just change the code to match lib/vsprintf.c
asm/div64.h cant be used because u64 maps to u32 for this build.

The ARM copypage changes in 2.6.12-rc4-git1 removed the preempt locking
from the copypage functions which broke the XScale implementation.
This patch fixes the locking on XScale and removes the now unneeded

Add a definition for PPC 405EP which was lost somehow during 2.4 -> 2.6
transition.
Recent change to arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S ("Fix incorrect CPU_FTR fixup usage

anymore.

Runtime feature support for unified caches was testing a userland feature
flag (PPC_FEATURE_UNIFIED_CACHE) instead of a cpu feature flag
(CPU_FTR_SPLIT_ID_CACHE). Luckily the current defined bit mask for cpu
features and userland features do not overlap so this only causes an issue
on machines with a unified cache, which is extremely rare on PPC today.

The system might hang when using appldata_mem with high I/O traffic and a
large number of devices. The spinlocks bdev_lock and swaplock are acquired
via calls to si_meminfo() and si_swapinfo() from a tasklet, i.e. interrupt
context, which can lead to a deadlock. Replace tasklet with work queue.

The condition for no context in do_exception checks for hard and soft
interrupts by using in_interrupt() but not for preemption. This is bad for
the users of __copy_from/to_user_inatomic because the fault handler might call
schedule although the preemption count is != 0. Use in_atomic() instead
in_interrupt().

To make UML build and run on s390, I needed to do these two little
changes:
1) UML includes some of the subarch's (s390) headers. I had to
change one of them with the following one-liner, to make this
compile. AFAICS, this change doesn't break compilation of s390
itself.
2) UML needs to intercept syscalls via ptrace to invalidate the syscall,
read syscall's parameters and write the result with the result of
UML's syscall processing. Also, UML needs to make sure, that the host
does no syscall restart processing. On i386 for example, this can be
done by writing -1 to orig_eax on the 2nd syscall interception
(orig_eax is the syscall number, which after the interception is used
as a "interrupt was a syscall" flag only.
Unfortunately, s390 holds syscall number and syscall result in gpr2 and
its "interrupt was a syscall" flag (trap) is unreachable via ptrace.
So I changed the host to set trap to -1, if the syscall number is changed
to an invalid value on the first syscall interception.

The special cases of peek and poke on acrs[15] and the fpc register are not
handled correctly. A poke on acrs[15] will clobber the 4 bytes after the
access registers in the thread_info structure. That happens to be the kernel
stack pointer. A poke on the fpc with an invalid value is not caught by the
validity check. On the next context switch the broken fpc value will cause a
program check in the kernel. Improving the checks in peek and poke fixes
this.

Patch from Deepak Saxena
The IXDP2800 bootloader does not disable IRQs before jumping into
the kernel and this is causing the Grand Unified KGDB to crash
the system when we do an early call to trap_init() and irq handlers
have not yet been registered. This patch disables IRQs before we
jump into the kernel.

Patch from Todd Poynor
PXA27x sleep fixes:
* set additional sleep/wakeup registers for Mainstone boards.
* move CKEN=0 to pxa25x-specific code; that value is harmful on pxa27x.
* save/restore additional registers, including some found necessary for
C5 processors and/or newer blob versions.
* enable future support of additional sleep modes for PXA27x (eg,
standby, deep sleep).
* split off cpu-specific sleep processing between pxa27x and pxa25x into
separate files (partly in preparation for additional sleep modes).
Includes fixes from David Burrage.

Patch from Albrecht Dreß
Problem:
When a module requests a DMA channel via the function s3c2410_dma_request(), this function requests the appropriate irq under the name of the client module. When the client module is unloaded, it calls s3c2410_dma_free() which does not free the irq. Consequently, when e.g. running "cat /proc/interrupts", the irq owner points to freed memory, leading to a kernel oops.

Re-work the m68knommu specific idle code according to suggestions
from Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au>.
A couple of rules that we need to follow:
1. Preempt should now disabled over idle routines. Should only be enabled
to call schedule() then disabled again.
3. When cpu_idle finds (need_resched() == 'true'), it should call schedule().
It should not call schedule() otherwise.
Also fix interrupt locking around the need_resched() and cpu stop state
so that there is no race condition.

The iseries has a bar graph on the front panel that shows how busy it is.
The operating system sets and clears a bit in the CTRL register to control
it.
Instead of going to the complexity of using a thread info bit, just set and
clear it in the idle loop.
Also create two helper functions, ppc64_runlatch_on and ppc64_runlatch_off.
Finally don't use the short form of the SPR defines.

This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64. It does the following things:
- Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
exist with the same name as a child node of the parent. We now
simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
/proc with random result...
- Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
address is 0. This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
buggy and didn't always work anyway.
- Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
dentry and inode cache bloat.
This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

Apple's Open Firmware has a funny bug when creating the /cpus nodes
where it leaves a dangling '\0' character in the CPU name which ends up
appearing in the full path of the node. This is bogus and
confuses /proc/device-tree badly.
This patch strips those bogus zero's from the node full path when
reading the device-tree from Open Firmware. The "name" property is not
modified and still contains the spurrious 0 (it basically contains 0
tailing 0 instead of one) but that shouldn't be a problem.
An equivalent patch for ppc32 will follow shortly

We have to recalibrate cpu_khz in order to use the current FID instead the max
FID since some BIOS do not put the processor at maximum frequency at POST.
Also, some BIOS will change the processor frequency at our back after cpu_khz
was calibrate. Finally, this will fix a long standing bug when we do
something like this:

Firstly, if the direction is TODEVICE, then dirty data in the
streaming cache is impossible so we can elide the flush-flag
synchronization in that case.
Next, the context allocator is broken. It is highly likely
that contexts get used multiple times for different dma
mappings, which confuses the strbuf flushing code and makes
it run inefficiently.
