66b7f8a304 [IA64-SGI] pcdp: add PCDP pci interface support
Resend 2 with changes per Bjorn Helgaas comments.  Changes from original:

+ Change globals to vga_console_iobase/vga_console_membase and make them
  unconditional.
+ Address style-related comments.

Patch to extend the PCDP vga setup code to support PCI io/mem translations
for the legacy vga ioport and ram spaces on architectures (e.g. altix) which
need them.

Summary of the changes:

drivers/firmware/pcdp.c
drivers/firmware/pcdp.h
-----------------------
+ add declaration for the spec-defined PCI interface struct (pcdp_if_pci)
  as well as support macros.

+ extend setup_vga_console() to know about pcdp_if_pci and add a couple of
  globals to hold the io and mem translation offsets if present.

arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c
------------------------
+ tweek early_console_setup() to allow multiple early console setup routines
  to be called.

include/asm-ia64/vga.h
----------------------
+ make VGA_MAP_MEM vga_console_membase aware

a528e21c23 [PATCH] kprobes/ia64: refuse inserting kprobe on slot 1
Without the ability to atomically write 16 bytes, we can not update the
middle slot of a bundle, slot 1, unless we stop the machine first.  This
patch will ensure the ability to robustly insert and remove a kprobe by
refusing to insert a kprobe on slot 1 until a mechanism is in place to
safely handle this case.

9508dbfe39 [PATCH] Return probe redesign: ia64 specific implementation
The following patch implements function return probes for ia64 using
the revised design.  With this new design we no longer need to do some
of the odd hacks previous required on the last ia64 return probe port
that I sent out for comments.

Note that this new implementation still does not resolve the problem noted
by Keith Owens where backtrace data is lost after a return probe is hit.

Changes include:
 * Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented
   functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place
   a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler
   can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back
   to the original return address.
 * Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on
   kretprobe_trampoline
 * Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler
   for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation.  This is the function
   that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function
   and returning control back at the original return address
 * Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler
   for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by
   kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when
   a caller enters the target function.  (A return probe instance contains
   all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.)
 * Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over
   return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function
   then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function
   but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It

f370513640 [PATCH] i386 CPU hotplug
(The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel
is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua
<shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing)

The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and
registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree.  In
order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the
cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs().  The difference being
that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from
cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any
queued external interrupts on the APICs.  There are additional changes to s390
and ppc64 to account for this change.

1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus.
3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down.
4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus.
5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus.
6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online.
7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside.
8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others().
9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down.
10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die().
11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs()
12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus.
13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

1674eafcbd [PATCH] Kprobes IA64: cmp ctype unc support
The current Kprobes when patching the original instruction with the break
instruction tries to retain the original qualifying predicate(qp), however
for cmp.crel.ctype where ctype == unc, which is a special instruction
always needs to be executed irrespective of qp.  Hence, if the instruction
we are patching is of this type, then we should not copy the original qp to
the break instruction, this is because we always want the break fault to
happen so that we can emulate the instruction.

8bc76772ad [PATCH] Kprobes ia64 cleanup
A cleanup of the ia64 kprobes implementation such that all of the bundle
manipulation logic is concentrated in arch_prepare_kprobe().

With the current design for kprobes, the arch specific code only has a

This patch moves all of the work that was happening in arch_copy_kprobe()
and most of the work that was happening in arch_arm_kprobe() into
arch_prepare_kprobe().  By doing this we can add further robustness checks
in arch_arm_kprobe() and refuse to insert kprobes that will cause problems.

7213b25218 [PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: kdebug die notification mechanism
As many of you know that kprobes exist in the main line kernel for various
architecture including i386, x86_64, ppc64 and sparc64.  Attached patches
following this mail are a port of Kprobes and Jprobes for IA64.

I have tesed this patches for kprobes and Jprobes and this seems to work fine.
 I have tested this patch by inserting kprobes on various slots and various
templates including various types of branch instructions.

I have also tested this patch using the tool
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111657358022586&w=2 and the
kprobes for IA64 works great.

Here is list of TODO things and pathes for the same will appear soon.

1) Support kprobes on "mov r1=ip" type of instruction
2) Support Kprobes and Jprobes to exist on the same address
3) Support Return probes
3) Architecture independent cleanup of kprobes

This patch adds the kdebug die notification mechanism needed by Kprobes.

For break instruction on Branch type slot, imm21 is ignored and value
zero is placed in IIM register, hence we need to handle kprobes
for switch case zero.

At the point in traps.c where we recieve a break with a zero value, we can
not say if the break was a result of a kprobe or some other debug facility.

This simple patch changes the informational string to a more correct "break
0" value, and applies to the 2.6.12-rc2-mm2 tree with all the kprobes
patches that were just recently included for the next mm cut.

408fde81c1 [PATCH] remove non-DISCONTIG use of pgdat->node_mem_map
This patch effectively eliminates direct use of pgdat->node_mem_map outside
of the DISCONTIG code.  On a flat memory system, these fields aren't
currently used, neither are they on a sparsemem system.

There was also a node_mem_map(nid) macro on many architectures.  Its use
along with the use of ->node_mem_map itself was not consistent.  It has
been removed in favor of two new, more explicit, arch-independent macros:

	pgdat_page_nr(pgdat, pagenr)
	nid_page_nr(nid, pagenr)

I called them "pgdat" and "nid" because we overload the term "node" to mean
"NUMA node", "DISCONTIG node" or "pg_data_t" in very confusing ways.  I
believe the newer names are much clearer.

These macros can be overridden in the sparsemem case with a theoretically
slower operation using node_start_pfn and pfn_to_page(), instead.  We could
make this the only behavior if people want, but I don't want to change too
much at once.  One thing at a time.

This patch removes more code than it adds.

Compile tested on alpha, alpha discontig, arm, arm-discontig, i386, i386
generic, NUMAQ, Summit, ppc64, ppc64 discontig, and x86_64.  Full list

f14f75b811 [PATCH] ia64 uncached alloc
This patch contains the ia64 uncached page allocator and the generic
allocator (genalloc).  The uncached allocator was formerly part of the SN2
mspec driver but there are several other users of it so it has been split
off from the driver.

The generic allocator can be used by device driver to manage special memory
etc.  The generic allocator is based on the allocator from the sym53c8xx_2
driver.

Various users on ia64 needs uncached memory.  The SGI SN architecture requires
it for inter-partition communication between partitions within a large NUMA
cluster.  The specific user for this is the XPC code.  Another application is
large MPI style applications which use it for synchronization, on SN this can
be done using special 'fetchop' operations but it also benefits non SN
hardware which may use regular uncached memory for this purpose.  Performance
of doing this through uncached vs cached memory is pretty substantial.  This
is handled by the mspec driver which I will push out in a seperate patch.

Rather than creating a specific allocator for just uncached memory I came up
with genalloc which is a generic purpose allocator that can be used by device
drivers and other subsystems as they please.  For instance to handle onboard
device memory.  It was derived from the sym53c7xx_2 driver's allocator which
is also an example of a potential user (I am refraining from modifying sym2
right now as it seems to have been under fairly heavy development recently).

On ia64 memory has various properties within a granule, ie.  it isn't safe to
access memory as uncached within the same granule as currently has memory
accessed in cached mode.  The regular system therefore doesn't utilize memory
in the lower granules which is mixed in with device PAL code etc.  The
uncached driver walks the EFI memmap and pulls out the spill uncached pages
and sticks them into the uncached pool.  Only after these chunks have been
utilized, will it start converting regular cached memory into uncached memory.
Hence the reason for the EFI related code additions.

attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c.  There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code.  It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.

Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.

Notes:
	- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
	  analagous to set_pte()
	- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

753ee72896 [PATCH] VM: early zone reclaim
This is the core of the (much simplified) early reclaim.  The goal of this
patch is to reclaim some easily-freed pages from a zone before falling back
onto another zone.

One of the major uses of this is NUMA machines.  With the default allocator
behavior the allocator would look for memory in another zone, which might be
off-node, before trying to reclaim from the current zone.

This adds a zone tuneable to enable early zone reclaim.  It is selected on a
per-zone basis and is turned on/off via syscall.

Adding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch
4/4).  Without the machine would grind to a crawl when doing a "make -j"
kernel build.  Even with this patch the System Time is higher on
average, but it seems tolerable.  Here are some numbers for kernbench
runs on a 2-node, 4cpu, 8Gig RAM Altix in the "make -j" run:

			wall  user   sys   %cpu  ctx sw.  sleeps
			----  ----   ---   ----   ------  ------
No patch		1009  1384   847   258   298170   504402
w/patch, no reclaim     880   1376   667   288   254064   396745
w/patch & reclaim       1079  1385   926   252   291625   548873

These numbers are the average of 2 runs of 3 "make -j" runs done right
after system boot.  Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so
these numbers aren't terribly useful except to seee that with reclaim
the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time.

I also looked at the NUMA hit/miss stats for the "make -j" runs and the
reclaim doesn't make any difference when the machine is thrashing away.

Doing a "make -j8" on a single node that is filled with page cache pages
takes 700 seconds with reclaim turned on and 735 seconds without reclaim
(due to remote memory accesses).

0393eed5c3 [IA64] fix nested_dtlb_miss handler for hugetlb address
The nested_dtlb_miss handler currently does not handle fault from
hugetlb address correctly.  It walks the page table assuming PAGE_SIZE.
Thus when taking a fault triggered from hugetlb address, it would not
calculate the pgd/pmd/pte address correctly and thus result an incorrect
invocation of ia64_do_page_fault().  In there, kernel will signal SIGBUS
and application dies (The faulting address is perfectly legal and we
have a valid pte for the corresponding user hugetlb address as well).
This patch fix the described kernel bug.  Since nested_dtlb_miss is a
rare event and a slow path anyway, I'm making the change without #ifdef
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE for code readability.  Tony, please apply.

a2a64769d0 [IA64] Fix race condition in the rt_sigprocmask fastcall
current->blocked will be set to the value of current->thread_info->flags if the
cmpxchg to update thread_info->flags fails. For performance reasons the store into
current->blocked was placed in the cmpxchg loop. However, the cmpxchg overwrites the
register holding the value to be stored. In the rare case of a retry the value of
thread_info->flags will be written into current->blocked.

The fix is to use another register so that the register containing the current->blocked
value is not overwritten.

05062d96a2 [PATCH] ia64: fix floating-point preemption problem
There've been reports of problems with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and the high
floating point partition.  This is caused by the possibility of preemption
and rescheduling on a different processor while saving or restioirng the
high partition.

The only places where the FPU state is touched are in ptrace, in
switch_to(), and where handling a floating-point exception.  In switch_to()
preemption is off.  So it's only in trap.c and ptrace.c that we need to
prevent preemption.

Here is a patch that adds commentary to make the conditions clear, and adds
appropriate preempt_{en,dis}able() calls to make it so.  In trap.c I use
preempt_enable_no_resched(), as we're about to return to user space where
the preemption flag will be checked anyway.

866ba633a8 [IA64] Module gp must point to valid memory
Some bits of the kernel assume that gp always points to valid memory,
in particular PHYSICAL_MODE_ENTER() assumes that both gp and sp are
valid virtual addresses with associated physical pages.  The IA64
module loader puts gp well past the end of the module, with no physical
backing.  Offsets on gp are still valid, but physical mode addressing
breaks for modules.  Ensure that gp always falls within the module
body.  Also ensure that gp is 8 byte aligned.
