This new prctl is intended for changing the execution mode of the
processor, on processors that support both a little-endian mode and a
big-endian mode. It is intended for use by programs such as
instruction set emulators (for example an x86 emulator on PowerPC),
which may find it convenient to use the processor in an alternate
endianness mode when executing translated instructions.
Note that this does not imply the existence of a fully-fledged ABI for
both endiannesses, or of compatibility code for converting system
calls done in the non-native endianness mode. The program is expected
to arrange for all of its system call arguments to be presented in the
native endianness.
Switching between big and little-endian mode will require some care in
constructing the instruction sequence for the switch. Generally the
instructions up to the instruction that invokes the prctl system call
will have to be in the old endianness, and subsequent instructions
will have to be in the new endianness.

When debugging early kernel crashes that happen after console_init() and
before a proper console driver takes over, we often have to go hack into
udbg.c to prevent it from unregistering so we can "see" what is

instead to avoid having to modify the kernel.

This patch attempts to handle RTAS "busy" return codes in a more simple

manage wait times and delay calls.
This patch also changes the kernel to use msleep() rather than udelay()
when a runtime delay is necessary. This will avoid CPU soft lockups

Our MMU hash management code would not set the "C" bit (changed bit) in
the hardware PTE when updating a RO PTE into a RW PTE. That would cause
the hardware to possibly to a write back to the hash table to set it on
the first store access, which in addition to being a performance issue,
might also hit a bug when running with native hash management (non-HV)
as our code is specifically optimized for the case where no write back
happens.
Thus there is a very small therocial window were a hash PTE can become
corrupted if that HPTE has just been upgraded to read write, a store
access happens on it, and that races with another processor evicting
that same slot. Since eviction (caused by an almost full hash) is
extremely rare, the bug is very unlikely to happen fortunately.
This fixes by allowing the updating of the protection bits in the native
hash handling to also set (but not clear) the "C" bit, and, in order to
also improve performances in the general case, by always setting that
bit on newly inserted hash PTE so that writeback really never happens.

A proper fix would involve introducing the notion of shared caches but
at this stage of 2.6.17 that's going to be too intrusive and not needed
for current hardware; aside I think some discussion will be needed.
So for now on the affected SMP configurations which happen to suffer from
cache aliases we make use of the fact that a single cache will be shared
by all processors. This solves the deadlock issue and will improve
performance by getting rid of the smp_call_function overhead.

In case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR, set_pte() and pte_clear() functions
only set _PAGE_GLOBAL bit in the pte_low field of the buddy PTEs,
forgetting to propagate ito to pte_high. Thus, the both pages might not
really be made global for the CPU (since it AND's the G-bit of the
odd / even PTEs together to decide whether they're global or not). Thus,
if only a single page is allocated via vmalloc() or ioremap(), it's not
really global for CPU (and it must be, since this is kernel mapping),
and thus its ASID is compared against the current process' one -- so,
we'll get into trouble sooner or later... Also, pte_none() will fail
on global pages because _PAGE_GLOBAL bit is set in both pte_low and
pte_high, and pte_val() will return u64 value consisting of those fields
concateneted.

If an error is reported by a drive in a RAID array (which is done via
bi_end_io - in interrupt context), we call md_error and md_new_event which
calls sysfs_notify. However sysfs_notify grabs a mutex and so cannot be
called in interrupt context.
This patch just creates a variant of md_new_event which avoids the sysfs
call, and uses that. A better fix for later is to arrange for the event to
be called from user-context.
Note: avoiding the sysfs call isn't a problem as an error will not, by
itself, modify the sync_action attribute. (We do still need to
wake_up(&md_event_waiters) as an error by itself will modify /proc/mdstat).

Change the binary output format to actual ACPI TCPA log structure since the
current format does not contain all event-data information that need to
verify the PCRs in TPM. tpm_binary_bios_measurements_show() uses
get_event_name() to convert the binary event-data to ascii format, and puts
them as binary. However, to verify the PCRs, the event-data must be a
actual binary event-data used by SHA1 calc. in BIOS.
So, I think actual ACPI TCPA log is good for this binary output format.

The second statement in the while loop needs to be a <= b so that it is the

while (bad_addr(&addr, size) && addr+size <= ei->addr + ei->size)
