Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is
set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES. Which in turn is
currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures.
While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too
small. The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes. This
lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would
overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially
by kmalloc, which was often the case.
It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that
the area needs to be. This patch does just that.
If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is
needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in
arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h. Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice. However, I
think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

Currently a parport_driver can't get a handle on the device node for the
underlying parport (PNPACPI, PCI, etc). That prevents correct placement of
sysfs child nodes, which can affect things like power management.
This patch adds a field to "struct parport" pointing to that device node, and
updates non-legacy port drivers to initialize that device pointer. That field
replaces the analagous PCI-only support in parport_pc.

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of
an mm. Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are
needed in common code. They are:
arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork
arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an
mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec.
The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific
activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for
other architectures. It's called when an mm is first used.

Currently asm-powerpc/mmu.h has definitions for the 64-bit hash based
MMU. If CONFIG_PPC64 is not set, it instead includes asm-ppc/mmu.h
which contains a particularly horrible mess of #ifdefs giving the
definitions for all the various 32-bit MMUs.
It would be nice to have the low level definitions for each MMU type
neatly in their own separate files. It would also be good to wean
arch/powerpc off dependence on the old asm-ppc/mmu.h.
This patch makes a start on such a cleanup by moving the definitions
for the 64-bit hash MMU to their own file, asm-powerpc/mmu_hash64.h.
Definitions for the other MMUs still all come from asm-ppc/mmu.h,
however each MMU type can now be one-by-one moved over to their own
file, in the process cleaning them up stripping them of cruft no
longer necessary in arch/powerpc.

This command is similar to SO_TIMESTAMP, but permits transmission of

(nanosecond resolution instead of microsecond)
Control message is labelled SCM_TIMESTAMPNS instead of SCM_TIMESTAMP

BenH's commit a741e67969 in powerpc.git,
although (AFAICT) only intended to affect ppc64, also has side-effects
which break 44x. I think 40x, 8xx and Freescale Book E are also
affected, though I haven't tested them.
The problem lies in unconditionally removing flush_tlb_pending() from
the versions of flush_tlb_mm(), flush_tlb_range() and
flush_tlb_kernel_range() used on ppc64 - which are also used the
embedded platforms mentioned above.
The patch below cleans up the convoluted #ifdef logic in tlbflush.h,
in the process restoring the necessary flushes for the software TLB
platforms. There are three sets of definitions for the flushing
hooks: the software TLB versions (revised to avoid using names which
appear to related to TLB batching), the 32-bit hash based versions
(external functions) amd the 64-bit hash based versions (which
implement batching).
It also moves the declaration of update_mmu_cache() to always be in
tlbflush.h (previously it was in tlbflush.h except for PPC64, where it
was in pgtable.h).

Until now, we have always entered the spu page fault handler
with a mutex for the spu context held. This has multiple
bad side-effects:
- it becomes impossible to suspend the context during
page faults
- if an spu program attempts to access its own mmio
areas through DMA, we get an immediate livelock when
the nopage function tries to acquire the same mutex
This patch makes the page fault logic operate on a
struct spu_context instead of a struct spu, and moves it
from spu_base.c to a new file fault.c inside of spufs.
We now also need to copy the dar and dsisr contents
of the last fault into the saved context to have it
accessible in case we schedule out the context before
activating the page fault handler.

The current tlb flush code on powerpc 64 bits has a subtle race since we
lost the page table lock due to the possible faulting in of new PTEs
after a previous one has been removed but before the corresponding hash
entry has been evicted, which can leads to all sort of fatal problems.
This patch reworks the batch code completely. It doesn't use the mmu_gather
stuff anymore. Instead, we use the lazy mmu hooks that were added by the
paravirt code. They have the nice property that the enter/leave lazy mmu
mode pair is always fully contained by the PTE lock for a given range
of PTEs. Thus we can guarantee that all batches are flushed on a given
CPU before it drops that lock.
We also generalize batching for any PTE update that require a flush.
Batching is now enabled on a CPU by arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and
disabled by arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). The code epects that this is
always contained within a PTE lock section so no preemption can happen
and no PTE insertion in that range from another CPU. When batching
is enabled on a CPU, every PTE updates that need a hash flush will
use the batch for that flush.

Some drivers have resources that they want to be able to map into
userspace that are 4k in size. On a kernel configured with 64k pages
we currently end up mapping the 4k we want plus another 60k of
physical address space, which could contain anything. This can
introduce security problems, for example in the case of an infiniband
adaptor where the other 60k could contain registers that some other
program is using for its communications.
This patch adds a new function, remap_4k_pfn, which drivers can use to
map a single 4k page to userspace regardless of whether the kernel is
using a 4k or a 64k page size. Like remap_pfn_range, it would
typically be called in a driver's mmap function. It only maps a
single 4k page, which on a 64k page kernel appears replicated 16 times
throughout a 64k page. On a 4k page kernel it reduces to a call to
remap_pfn_range.
The way this works on a 64k kernel is that a new bit, _PAGE_4K_PFN,
gets set on the linux PTE. This alters the way that __hash_page_4K
computes the real address to put in the HPTE. The RPN field of the
linux PTE becomes the 4k RPN directly rather than being interpreted as
a 64k RPN. Since the RPN field is 32 bits, this means that physical
addresses being mapped with remap_4k_pfn have to be below 2^44,
i.e. 0x100000000000.
The patch also factors out the code in arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c
that deals with demoting a process to use 4k pages into one function
that gets called in the various different places where we need to do
that. There were some discrepancies between exactly what was done in
the various places, such as a call to spu_flush_all_slbs in one case
but not in others.
