This adds a kernel command line option "phyp_dump", which takes a 0/1
value for disabling/ enabling phyp_dump at boot time. Kdump can use
this on cmdline (phyp_dump=0) to disable phyp-dump during boot when
enabling itself. This will ensure only one dumping mechanism is active
at any given time.

Check to see if there actually is data from a previously
crashed kernel waiting. If so, allow user-space tools to
grab the data (by reading /proc/kcore). When user-space
finishes dumping a section, it must release that memory
by writing to sysfs. For example,
echo "0x40000000 0x10000000" > /sys/kernel/release_region
will release 256MB starting at the 1GB. The released memory
becomes free for general use.

The hypervisor can look at the value in the wait_state_cycles field of
the VPA for an estimate of how busy dedicated processors are.
Currently, as the kernel never touches this field, we appear to be

Prevailing practice for define_machine() in powerpc is to use the
platform name when the platform has only one define_machine()
statement, but maple uses "maple_md". This caused me some
head-scratching when writing some new code that uses
machine_is(maple).
Use "maple" instead of "maple_md". There should not be any behavioral
change -- fixup_maple_ide() calls machine_is(maple) but the body of
the function is ifdef'd out.

My recent hack to allocate the hash table under 1GB on cell was poorly
tested, *cough*. It turns out on blades with large amounts of memory we
fail to allocate the hash table at all. This is because RTAS has been
instantiated just below 768MB, and 0-x MB are used by the kernel,
leaving no areas that are both large enough and also naturally-aligned.
For the cell IOMMU hack the page tables must be under 2GB, so use that
as the limit instead. This has been tested on real hardware and boots
happily.

The empty_zero_page symbol is exported by most other architectures
(s390, ia64, x86, um), and an upcoming ext4 patch needs it because
ZERO_PAGE() references empty_zero_page, and we need it to zero out an
unitialized extents in ext4 files.

A bogus test for unassigned resources that came from our 32-bit
PCI code ended up being "merged" by my previous patch series,
breaking some 64-bit setups where devices have legal resources
ending at 0xffffffff.
This fixes it by completely changing the test. We now test for
res->start == 0, as the generic code expects, and we also only
do so on platforms that don't have the PPC_PCI_PROBE_ONLY flag
set, as there are cases of pSeries and iSeries where it could
be a valid value and those can't reassign devices.

The pattern substitution rules were failing when used with zImage-dtb
targets. If zImage-dtb.initrd was selected, the pattern substitution
would generate "zImage.initrd-dtb" instead of "zImage-dtb.initrd" which
caused the build to fail.
This renames zImage-dtb to dtbImage to avoid the problem entirely.
By not using the zImage prefix then is no potential for namespace

Some drivers (such as V4L2) have code that causes gcc to generate
calls to __ucmpdi2 when compiling for 32-bit powerpc, which results

quicklists cause a serious memory leak on 32-bit x86,
as documented at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991
the reason is that the quicklist pool is a special-purpose
cache that grows out of proportion. It is not accounted for
anywhere and users have no way to even realize that it's
the quicklists that are causing RAM usage spikes. It was
supposed to be a relatively small pool, but as demonstrated
by KOSAKI Motohiro, they can grow as large as:
Quicklists: 1194304 kB
given how much trouble this code has caused historically,
and given that Andrew objected to its introduction on x86
(years ago), the best option at this point is to remove them.
[ any performance benefits of caching constructed pgds should
be implemented in a more generic way (possibly within the page
allocator), while still allowing constructed pages to be
allocated by other workloads. ]

The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a
negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax.
These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended.
The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit
kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior.
This patch fixes the problem by doing sign-extension where it matters.
For orig_ax, the only time the value should be -1 but winds up as
0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace call. So the patch changes ptrace to
sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax value when it's stored; it doesn't
change the checks on orig_ax, though it uses the new current_syscall()
inline to better document the subtle importance of the used of
signedness there.
The ax value is stored a lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all
sign-extended at their origins. So for that, we use the
current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend it only for 32-bit tasks at the
time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.

At present, we can hit the BUG_ON in __spu_update_sched_info by reading
the regs file of a context between two calls to spu_run. The
spu_release_saved called by spufs_regs_read() is resulting in the (now
non-runnable) context being placed back on the run queue, so the next
call to spu_run ends up in the bug condition.
This change uses the SPU_SCHED_SPU_RUN flag to only reschedule a context
if it's still in spu_run().

I figured out another ACPI related regression today.
randconfig testing triggered an early boot-time hang on a laptop of mine
(32-bit x86, config attached) - the screen was scrolling ACPI AML
exceptions [with no serial port and no early debugging available].
v2.6.24 works fine on that laptop with the same .config, so after a few
hours of bisection (had to restart it 3 times - other regressions
interacted), it honed in on this commit:

| acpi: fix acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() misuse of raw_pci_read()
reverting this commit ontop of -rc5 gave a correctly booting kernel.
But this commit fixes a real bug so the real question is, why did it
break the bootup?
After quite some head-scratching, the following change stood out:
- pci_id->bus = tu8;
+ pci_id->bus = val;
pci_id->bus is defined as u16:
struct acpi_pci_id {
u16 segment;
u16 bus;
...
and 'tu8' changed from u8 to u32. So previously we'd unconditionally
mask the return value of acpi_os_read_pci_configuration()
(raw_pci_read()) to 8 bits, but now we just trust whatever comes back
from the PCI access routines and only crop it to 16 bits.
But if the high 8 bits of that result contains any noise then we'll
write that into ACPI's PCI ID descriptor and confuse the heck out of the
rest of ACPI.
So lets check the PCI-BIOS code on that theory. We have this codepath
for 8-bit accesses (arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c:pci_bios_read()):
switch (len) {
case 1:
__asm__("lcall *(%%esi); cld\n\t"
"jc 1f\n\t"
"xor %%ah, %%ah\n"
"1:"
: "=c" (*value),
"=a" (result)
: "1" (PCIBIOS_READ_CONFIG_BYTE),
"b" (bx),
"D" ((long)reg),
"S" (&pci_indirect));
Aha! The "=a" output constraint puts the full 32 bits of EAX into
*value. But if the BIOS's routines set any of the high bits to nonzero,
we'll return a value with more set in it than intended.
The other, more common PCI access methods (v1 and v2 PCI reads) clear
out the high bits already, for example pci_conf1_read() does:
switch (len) {
case 1:
*value = inb(0xCFC + (reg & 3));
which explicitly converts the return byte up to 32 bits and zero-extends
it.
So zero-extending the result in the PCI-BIOS read routine fixes the
regression on my laptop. ( It might fix some other long-standing issues
we had with PCI-BIOS during the past decade ... ) Both 8-bit and 16-bit
accesses were buggy.

Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest
bug, and indeed it wasn't.
The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table
being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return
an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables
for each Guest).
Commit 37cc8d7f963ba2deec29c9b68716944516a3244f introduced this
behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug.
The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index
calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the
early exit path of guest_set_pmd(). But you get lots of segfaults in
guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated.

Now the TSC code handles a zero return from calculate_cpu_khz(),
lguest can simply pass through the value it gets from the Host: if

Otherwise (or if the Host really doesn't support TSC), the clocksource

This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a
32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64. This matches what a
64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task.
This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix". This didn't
matter until that was fixed.
The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it
sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly. It expects
that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a
32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit
facilities.
This never arose before because the syscall restart check never
matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension. Before
that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger
the restart check anyway. So this was never noticed as a regression
of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.
