Using 64k pages on 64-bit PowerPC systems makes life difficult for
emulators that are trying to emulate an ISA, such as x86, which use a
smaller page size, since the emulator can no longer use the MMU and
the normal system calls for controlling page protections. Of course,
the emulator can emulate the MMU by checking and possibly remapping
the address for each memory access in software, but that is pretty
slow.
This provides a facility for such programs to control the access
permissions on individual 4k sub-pages of 64k pages. The idea is
that the emulator supplies an array of protection masks to apply to a
specified range of virtual addresses. These masks are applied at the
level where hardware PTEs are inserted into the hardware page table
based on the Linux PTEs, so the Linux PTEs are not affected. Note
that this new mechanism does not allow any access that would otherwise
be prohibited; it can only prohibit accesses that would otherwise be
allowed. This new facility is only available on 64-bit PowerPC and
only when the kernel is configured for 64k pages.
The masks are supplied using a new subpage_prot system call, which
takes a starting virtual address and length, and a pointer to an array
of protection masks in memory. The array has a 32-bit word per 64k
page to be protected; each 32-bit word consists of 16 2-bit fields,
for which 0 allows any access (that is otherwise allowed), 1 prevents
write accesses, and 2 or 3 prevent any access.
Implicit in this is that the regions of the address space that are
protected are switched to use 4k hardware pages rather than 64k
hardware pages (on machines with hardware 64k page support). In fact
the whole process is switched to use 4k hardware pages when the
subpage_prot system call is used, but this could be improved in future
to switch only the affected segments.
The subpage protection bits are stored in a 3 level tree akin to the
page table tree. The top level of this tree is stored in a structure
that is appended to the top level of the page table tree, i.e., the
pgd array. Since it will often only be 32-bit addresses (below 4GB)
that are protected, the pointers to the first four bottom level pages
are also stored in this structure (each bottom level page contains the
protection bits for 1GB of address space), so the protection bits for
addresses below 4GB can be accessed with one fewer loads than those
for higher addresses.

When we set the MFGPT timer tick, there is a chance that we'll
immediately assert an event. If for some reason the IRQ routing
for this clock has been setup for some other purpose, then we
could end up firing an interrupt into the SMM handler or worse.
This rearranges the timer tick init function to initalize the handler
before we set up the MFGPT clock to make sure that even if we get
an event, it will go to the handler.
Furthermore, in the handler we need to make sure that we clear the
event, even if the timer isn't running.

This reverts commit d4d25deca49ec2527a634557bf5a6cf449f85deb.
It tried to fix long standing bugzilla entries, but the solution was
reported to break other systems. The reporter of
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9791
tracked it down to this commit and confirmed that reverting the patch
restores the correct behaviour. It's too late in the release cycle to
find a better solution than reverting the commit to avoid regressions.

The JMPRS register on Malta boards keeps a 32-bit CPU-endian
value. The readw() function assumes that the value it reads is a
little-endian 16-bit number. Therefore, using readw() to obtain
the value of the JMPRS register is a mistake. This error leads
to incorrect reading of the PCI clock frequency on big-endian
during board start-up.
Change readw() to __raw_readl().
This was tested by injecting a call to printk() and verifying
that the value of the jmpr variable was consistent with current
setting of the JP4 "PCI CLK" jumper.

There is no reason to have separate defconfigs for each mpc5200 board.
Instead, here is a common defconfig that can be used for all supported
platforms.
Merging the defconfigs means there are fewer configuration to test when
compile testing all of arch/powerpc and should make support easier.
Supported boards:
Lite5200(b), Efika, TQM5200, CM5200, MotionPro

This patch adds support for 'mpc5200-simple-platform' compatible
boards which do not need a platform specific setup. Such boards
are supported assuming the following:
- GPIO pins are configured by the firmware,
- CDM configuration (clocking) is setup correctly by firmware,
- if the 'fsl,has-wdt' property is present in one of the
gpt nodes, then it is safe to use such gpt to reset the board,
- PCI is supported if enabled in the kernel configuration
and if there is a PCI bus node defined in the device tree.

- Move alignment to page size of init data outside ifdef for BLK_DEV_INITRD.
The reservation up to page size of memory after init data was previously
not done if BLK_DEV_INITRD was undefined.
This caused a kernel oops when init memory pages were freed after startup,
data placed in the same page as the last init memory would also be freed
and reused, with disastrous results.
- Use macros for initcalls and .text sections.
- Replace hardcoded page size constant with PAGE_SIZE define.
- Change include/asm-cris/page.h to use the _AC macro to instead
of testing __ASSEMBLY__.

xlate_iomm_address() really wants the ds_addr to pass to the HV, so store
that value (instead of the BAR number) when we allocate the device bars.
This is not a fast path, so we can look up the device_node property
there instead of using the bussubno field of the pci_dn.
The other user of iseries_ds_addr() was already scanning the device tree,
so looking up a property will not slow it down any more.

Similar to of_find_compatible_node(), of_find_matching_node() and
for_each_matching_node() allow you to iterate over the device tree
looking for specific nodes, except that they take of_device_id
tables instead of strings.
This also moves of_match_node() from driver/of/device.c to
driver/of/base.c to colocate it with the of_find_matching_node which
depends on it.

The compiler team did the hard work for this distilling a problem in
large fortran application which showed up when applied to a 290MB input
data set down to this instruction:
ldfd f34=[r17],-8
Which they noticed incremented r17 by 0x10 rather than decrementing it
by 8 when the value in r17 caused an unaligned data fault. I tracked
it down to some bad instruction decoding in unaligned.c. The code
assumes that the 'x' bit can determine whether the instruction is
an "ldf" or "ldfp" ... which it is for opcode=6 (see table 4-29 on
page 3:302 of the SDM). But for opcode=7 the 'x' bit is irrelevent,
all variants are "ldf" instructions (see table 4-36 on page 3:306).
Note also that interpreting the instruction as "ldfp" means that the
"paired" floating point register (f35 in the example here) will also
be corrupted.

This patch restores the blackfin Hardware Performance Monitor Profiling
support that was killed by the combining of instrumentation menus in
commit 09cadedbdc01f1a4bea1f427d4fb4642eaa19da9.
Since there seems to be no good reason to behave differently from other
architectures, it now automatically selects the hardware performance
counters whenever the profiling is activated.
mach-common/irqpanic.c: pm_overflow calls pm_overflow_handler which is
in oprofile/op_model_bf533.c. I doubt that setting HARDWARE_PM as "m"
will work at all, since the pm_overflow_handler should be in the core
kernel image because it is called by irqpanic.c.
Therefore, I change HARDWARE_PM from a tristate to a bool.
The whole arch/$(ARCH)/oprofile/ is built depending on CONFIG_OPROFILE. Since
part of the HARDWARE_PM support files sits in this directory, it makes sense to
also depend on OPROFILE, not only PROFILING. Since OPROFILE already depends on
PROFILING, it is correct to only depend on OPROFILE only.
Thanks to Adrian Bunk for finding this bug and providing an initial
patch.

Commit 09cadedbdc01f1a4bea1f427d4fb4642eaa19da9 ("Combine
instrumentation menus in kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation") broke ARM
profiling support, since ARM has some extra Kconfig options and doesn't
just use the common OPROFILE/KPROBES config options.
Rather than just revert the thing outright, or add ARM-specific
knowledge to the generic Kconfig.instrumentation file (where the only
and whole point was to be generic, not too architecture-specific), this
just makes ARM not use the generic version, since it doesn't suit it.
So create an arm-specific version of Kconfig.instrumentation instead,
and use that.
