It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

This patch puts back the export of machine_power_off() that was removed
by some janitor as it's used for emergency shutdown by the G5 thermal
control driver. Wether that driver should use kernel_power_off() instead
is debatable and a post-2.6.13 decision. In the meantime, please commit

Paulus suggested that we put xLparMap in its own .c file so that we can
generate a .s file to be included into head.S. This doesn't get around
the problem of having it at a fixed address, but it makes it more
palatable.
It would be good if this could be included in 2.6.13 as it solves our
build problems with various versions of binutils and gcc. In
particular, it allows us to build an iSeries kernel on Debian unstable
using their biarch compiler.
This has been built and booted on iSeries and built for pSeries and g5.

For soft reset during system hang, got an error "CPU did not take
control" for some CPUs even though they responded to soft-reset (called
SystemReset, die and called debugger - xmon). First these CPUs entered
into xmon by IPI callback and then got a soft-reset exception and
re-entered into xmon again. The first CPU which re-entered into xmon got
the output lock and made into xmon successfully without unlocking.
Hence, the next CPU(s) which re-entered into xmon try to acquire a lock
(get_output_lock). Therefore, we can not view state of those CPU(s).

If CONFIG_NUMA is set, some POWER 4 systems will fail to boot. This is
because of special processing needed to handle invalid node IDs (0xffff) on
POWER 4. My previous patch to handle memory 'holes' within nodes forgot to
add this special case for POWER 4 in one place.
In reality, I'm not sure that configuring the kernel for NUMA on POWER 4 makes
much sense. Are there POWER 4 based systems with NUMA characteristics that
are presented by the firmware? But, distros want one kernel for all systems
so NUMA is on by default in their kernels. The patch handles those cases.

Presently the LparMap, one of the structures the kernel shares with the
legacy iSeries hypervisor has a fixed offset address in head.S. This patch
changes this so the LparMap is a normally initialized structure, without
fixed address. This allows us to use macros to compute some of the values
in the structure, which wasn't previously possible because the assembler
always uses signed-% which gets the wrong answers for the computations in
question.
Unfortunately, a gcc bug means that doing this requires another structure
(hvReleaseData) to be initialized in asm instead of C, but on the whole the
result is cleaner than before.

PPC64 machines before Power4 need a segment table page allocated for each
CPU. Currently these are allocated statically in a big array in head.S for
all CPUs. The segment tables need to be in the first segment (so
do_stab_bolted doesn't take a recursive fault on the stab itself), but
other than that there are no constraints which require the stabs for the
secondary CPUs to be statically allocated.
This patch allocates segment tables dynamically during boot, using
lmb_alloc() to ensure they are within the first 256M segment. This reduces
the kernel image size by 192k...
