On ppc64 the minimum memory section for hotplug is 16MB but most
recent machines have a memory block size of 256MB. This means
memory_block_change_state does 16 separate calls to
memory_section_action.
This also means we call the notifiers 16 times and the hook
in the ehea network driver is quite costly. To offline one 256MB
region takes:
# time echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state
7.9s
This patch removes the loop and calls online_pages or
remove_memory once for the entire region and in doing so makes
the logic simpler since we don't have to back out if things fail
part way through.
The same test to offline one region now takes:
# time echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state
0.67s
Over 11 times faster.

In case CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH is not set to "", which it
should be on every system, the kernel forks processes during
shutdown, which try to access the rootfs, even when the
binary does not exist. It causes exceptions and long delays in
the disk driver, which gets read requests at the time it tries
to shut down the disk.
This patch disables all kernel-forked processes during reboot to
allow a clean poweroff.

This patch introduces the 'memconsole' driver.
Our firmware gives us access to an in-memory log of the firmware's
output. This gives us visibility in a data-center of headless machines
as to what the firmware is doing.
The memory console is found by the driver by finding a header block in
the EBDA. The buffer is then copied out, and is exported to userland in
the file /sys/firmware/log.

The "gsmi" driver bridges userland with firmware specific routines for
accessing hardware.
Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information.
Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their
op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used.
This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command
outlined in the FADT table. Three protocols are used due to various
limitations over time, but all are included herein.
This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either
a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM
strings of the FADT ACPI table. This logic happens in
gsmi_system_valid().

When certain technologies shutdown their interface without waiting for
the acknowledgement from the chip. The receive_buf from the TTY would be
invoked a while after the relevant technology is unregistered.
This patch introduces a new flag "is_registered" which maintains the
state of protocols BT, FM or GPS and thereby removes the need to clear
the protocol data from ST when protocols gets unregistered.
This fixes corner cases when HCI RESET is sent down from bluetooth stack
and the receive_buf is called from tty after 250ms before which
bluetooth would have unregistered from the system.
OR - when FM application decides to close down the device without
sending a power-off FM command resulting in some RDS data or interrupt

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.
Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
(and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.
So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
overflow).
[ Use PID_MAX_LIMIT rather than pid_max as per Eric Biederman ]
