622a9edd91 Remove dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) functions
dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) were the earliest attempt on a generalized
cache managment API for I/O purposes.  Originally it was basically the raw
MIPS low level cache API exported to the entire world.  The API has
suffered from a lack of documentation, was not very widely used unlike it's
more modern brothers and can easily be replaced by dma_cache_sync.  So
remove it rsp.  turn the surviving bits back into an arch private API, as
discussed on linux-arch.

f438d914b2 kprobes: support kretprobe blacklist
Introduce architecture dependent kretprobe blacklists to prohibit users
from inserting return probes on the function in which kprobes can be
inserted but kretprobes can not.

This patch also removes "__kprobes" mark from "__switch_to" on x86_64 and
registers "__switch_to" to the blacklist on x86-64, because that mark is to
prohibit user from inserting only kretprobe.

74a0b57627 x86: optimize page faults like all other achitectures and kill notifier cruft
x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier
cruft for the kprobes page fault hook.  This patch converts them to the
proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits
aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess.

I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers
agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft
removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is
important aswell.

Currently we chain IVEC entries using 32-bit "pointers"
because we know that the ivector_table is in the main

This uses proper 64-bit pointers instead.

Whilst this bloats up the kernel image size, this sets

759f89e03c [SPARC64]: Consolidate MSI support code.
This also makes us use the MSI queues correctly.

Each MSI queue is serviced by a normal sun4u/sun4v INO interrupt
handler.  This handler runs the MSI queue and dispatches the
virtual interrupts indicated by arriving MSIs in that MSI queue.

All of the common logic is placed in pci_msi.c, with callbacks to
handle the PCI controller specific aspects of the operations.

This common infrastructure will make it much easier to add MSG
support.

301feb6524 [SPARC64]: Fix lockdep, particularly on SMP.
As noted by Al Viro, when we try to call prom_set_trap_table()
in the SMP trampoline code we try to take the PROM call spinlock
which doesn't work because the current thread pointer isn't
valid yet and lockdep depends upon that being correct.

Furthermore, we cannot set the current thread pointer register
because it can't be properly dereferenced until we return from
prom_set_trap_table().  Kernel TLB misses only work after that
call.

So do the PROM call to set the trap table directly instead of
going through the OBP library C code, and thus avoid the lock
altogether.

These calls are guarenteed to be serialized fully.

Since there are now no calls to the prom_set_trap_table{_sun4v}()
library functions, they can be deleted.

5f92c32936 [SPARC64]: Fix several bugs in MSI handling.
1) sun4{u,v}_build_msi() have improper return value handling.

   We should always return negative error codes, instead of
   using the magic value "0" which could in fact be a valid
   MSI number.

2) sun4{u,v}_build_msi() should return -ENOMEM instead of
   calling prom_prom() halt with kzalloc() of the interrupt
   data fails.

3) We 'remembered' the MSI number using a singleton in the
   struct device archdata area, this doesn't work for MSI-X
   which can cause multiple MSIs assosciated with one device.

   Delete that archdata member, and instead store the MSI
   number in the IRQ chip data area.

405849610f [MATH-EMU]: Fix underflow exception reporting.
The underflow exception cases were wrong.

This is one weird area of ieee1754 handling in that the underflow
behavior changes based upon whether underflow is enabled in the trap
enable mask of the FPU control register.  As a specific case the Sparc
V9 manual gives us the following description:

--------------------
If UFM = 0:     Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny and a
                loss of accuracy occurs.  Tininess may be detected
                before or after rounding.  Loss of accuracy may be
                either a denormalization loss or an inexact result.

If UFM = 1:     Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny.
                Tininess may be detected before or after rounding.
--------------------

What this amounts to in the packing case is if we go subnormal,
we set underflow if any of the following are true:

1) rounding sets inexact
2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where
   we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this
   should set inexact too
3) underflow is set in FPU control register trap-enable mask

The initially discovered example was "DBL_MIN / 16.0" which
incorrectly generated an underflow.  It should not, unless underflow
is set in the trap-enable mask of the FPU csr.

Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both
inexact and underflow.  The cpu implementations and ieee1754
literature is very clear about this.  This is case #2 above.

However, if underflow is set in the trap enable mask, only underflow
should be set and reported as a trap.  That is handled properly by the
prioritization logic in

arch/sparc{,64}/math-emu/math.c:record_exception().

Based upon a report and test case from Jakub Jelinek.

Fully unify all of the DMA ops so that subordinate bus types to

Basically, we just make sure that for every system device we
create, the dev->archdata 'iommu' and 'stc' fields are filled
in.

Then we have two platform variants of the DMA ops, one for SUN4U which
actually programs the real hardware, and one for SUN4V which makes
hypervisor calls.

This also fixes the crashes in parport_pc on sparc64, reported by

c73fcc846c [SPARC]: Fix serial console device detection.
The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which
is wrong.

The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias
or similar to a full path name to the console device.

Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a
colon at the end of the path.  The option area is used to specify
which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a
device node drives multiple ports.  'a' is assumed if the option
specification is missing.

This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator.  The 'output-device'
property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this
is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'.  Instead we saw it
as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console.

The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve
the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too.

Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.

581b605a83 Consolidate of_find_property
The only change here is that a readlock is taken while the property list
is being traversed on Sparc where it was not taken previously.

Also, Sparc uses strcasecmp to compare property names while PowerPC
uses strcmp.

76c1ce7870 Split out common parts of prom.h
This creates linux/of.h and includes asm/prom.h from it.

We also include linux/of.h from asm/prom.h while we transition.

b111757c50 arch: personality independent stack top
New arch macro STACK_TOP_MAX it gives the larges valid stack address for the
architecture in question.

It differs from STACK_TOP in that it will not distinguish between
personalities but will always return the largest possible address.

This is used to create the initial stack on execve, which we will move down to
the proper location once the binfmt code has figured out where that is.

5fb7dc37dc define new percpu interface for shared data
per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.

One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.

This patch:

Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.
