7f613c7d22 [PATCH] MCA/INIT: use per cpu stacks
The bulk of the change.  Use per cpu MCA/INIT stacks.  Change the SAL
to OS state (sos) to be per process.  Do all the assembler work on the
MCA/INIT stacks, leaving the original stack alone.  Pass per cpu state
data to the C handlers for MCA and INIT, which also means changing the
mca_drv interfaces slightly.  Lots of verification on whether the
original stack is usable before converting it to a sleeping process.

289d773ee8 [IA64] MCA/INIT: avoid reading INIT record during INIT event
Reading the INIT record from SAL during the INIT event has proved to be
unreliable, and a source of hangs during INIT processing.  The new
MCA/INIT handlers remove the need to get the INIT record from SAL.
Change salinfo.c so mca.c can just flag that a new record is available,
without having to read the record during INIT processing.  This patch
can be applied without the new MCA/INIT handlers.

Also clean up some usage of NR_CPUS which should have been using
cpu_online().

5bb7826900 kbuild: rename prepare to archprepare to fix dependency chain
When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency
chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting
include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke.
With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles
the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare

The dependency chain looks like this now:

prepare
  |
  +--> prepare0
         |
         +--> archprepare
                |
		+--> scripts_basic
                +--> prepare1
                       |
                       +---> prepare2
                               |
                               +--> prepare3

So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc.
This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic
are all updated before archprepare is processed.

prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the
actions performed by archprepare.

The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most
likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility.
Updated Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt.

16b036786a [PATCH] uml: avoid already done dirtying
The PTE returned from handle_mm_fault is already marked as dirty and accessed
if needed.

Also, since this is not set with set_pte() (which sets NEWPAGE and NEWPROT as
needed), this wouldn't work anyway.

This version has been updated and fixed, thanks to some feedback from Jeff Dike.

d129f31236 [PATCH] uml: fix fault handler on write
The UML fault handler was recently changed to enforce PROT_NONE protections,
by requiring VM_READ or VM_EXEC on VMA's.

However, by mistake, things were changed such that VM_READ is always checked,
also on write faults; so a VMA mapped with only PROT_WRITE is not readable
(unless it's prefaulted with MAP_POPULATE or with a write), which is different
from i386.

Discovered while testing remap_file_pages protection support.

d99c4022f6 [PATCH] uml: inline mk_pte and various friends
Turns out that, for UML, a *lot* of VM-related trivial functions are not
inlined but rather normal functions.

In other sections of UML code, this is justified by having files which
interact with the host and cannot therefore include kernel headers, but in
this case there's no such justification.

I've had to turn many of them to macros because of missing declarations. While
doing this, I've decided to reuse some already existing macros.

a7d0c21033 [PATCH] i386 / uml: add dwarf sections to static link script
Inside the linker script, insert the code for DWARF debug info sections. This
may help GDB'ing a Uml binary. Actually, it seems that ld is able to guess
what I added correctly, but normal linker scripts include this section so it
should be correct anyway adding it.

On request by Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>, I've added it to
asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.s. I've also moved there the stabs debug section,
used the new macro in i386 linker script and added DWARF debug section to
that.

In the truth, I've not been able to verify the difference in GDB behaviour
after this change (I've seen large improvements with another patch). This
may depend on my binutils version, older one may have worse defaults.

However, this section is present in normal linker script, so add it at
least for the sake of cleanness.

31139971b3 [PATCH] ppc32: support hotplug cpu on powermacs
This allows cpus to be off-lined on 32-bit SMP powermacs.  When a cpu
is off-lined, it is put into sleep mode with interrupts disabled.  It
can be on-lined again by asserting its soft-reset pin, which is
connected to a GPIO pin.

With this I can off-line the second cpu in my dual G4 powermac, which
means that I can then suspend the machine (the suspend/resume code
refuses to suspend if more than one cpu is online, and making it cope
with multiple cpus is surprisingly messy).

bb0bb3b659 [PATCH] ppc32: Kill init on unhandled synchronous signals
This is a patch that I have had in my tree for ages.  If init causes
an exception that raises a signal, such as a SIGSEGV, SIGILL or
SIGFPE, and it hasn't registered a handler for it, we don't deliver
the signal, since init doesn't get any signals that it doesn't have a
handler for.  But that means that we just return to userland and
generate the same exception again immediately.  With this patch we
print a message and kill init in this situation.

This is very useful when you have a bug in the kernel that means that
init doesn't get as far as executing its first instruction. :)
Without this patch the system hangs when it gets to starting the
userland init; with it you at least get a message giving you a clue
about what has gone wrong.

fb1c8f93d8 [PATCH] spinlock consolidation
This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
things:

 - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code

 - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files

 - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
   features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.

 - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.

Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)

Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.

The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:

 include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h       |   16
 include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h     |   16

I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:

   SMP                         |  UP
   ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
   asm/spinlock_types_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_types_up.h
   linux/spinlock_types.h      |  linux/spinlock_types.h
   asm/spinlock_smp.h          |  linux/spinlock_up.h
   linux/spinlock_api_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_api_up.h
   linux/spinlock.h            |  linux/spinlock.h

/*
 * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
 *
 * on SMP builds:
 *
 *  asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
 *                        initializers
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
 *                        defines the generic type and initializers
 *
 *  asm/spinlock.h:       contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
 *                        implementations, mostly inline assembly code
 *
 *   (also included on UP-debug builds:)
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
 *                        contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
 *
 *  linux/spinlock.h:     builds the final spin_*() APIs.
 *
 * on UP builds:
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
 *                        contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
 *                        (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
 *                        defines the generic type and initializers
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_up.h:
 *                        contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
 *                        builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
 *                        builds)
 *
 *   (included on UP-non-debug builds:)
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_api_up.h:
 *                        builds the _spin_*() APIs.
 *
 *  linux/spinlock.h:     builds the final spin_*() APIs.

arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via
crosscompilers.  m32r, mips, sh, sparc, have not been tested yet, but should
be mostly fine.

From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org>

  Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
  Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested).  I did not try to build
  non-SMP kernels.  That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.

  I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t.  Doing so avoids
  some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files.  Those particular locks
  are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code.  I do NOT
  expect any new issues to arise with them.

 If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
  need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
  that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
  (load and clear word).

f0eca9626c [PATCH] Update PCI IOMEM allocation start
This fixes the problem with "Averatec 6240 pcmcia_socket0: unable to
apply power", which was due to the CardBus IOMEM register region being
allocated at an address that was actually inside the RAM window that had
been reserved for video frame-buffers in an UMA setup.

The BIOS _should_ have marked that region reserved in the e820 memory
descriptor tables, but did not.

It is fixed by rounding up the default starting address of PCI memory
allocations, so that we leave a bigger gap after the final known memory
location.  The amount of rounding depends on how big the unused memory
gap is that we can allocate IOMEM from.

Based on example code by Linus.

f64a227b6b kbuild: um fix so it compile with generic asm-offsets.h support
um has it own set of files for asm-offsets. So for now the
gen-asm-offset macro is just duplicated in the um Makefile.

This may well be the final solution since um is a bit special compared
to other architectures - time will tell.

Also added a dummy arch/um/kernel/asm-offsets.h file to keep kbuild happy.

5e518d7672 [PATCH] fbdev: Resurrect hooks to get EDID from firmware
For the i386, code is already present in video.S that gets the EDID from the
video BIOS.  Make this visible so drivers can also use this data as fallback
when i2c does not work.

To ensure that the EDID block is returned for the primary graphics adapter
only, by check if the IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag is set.

With the use of RCU in files structure, the look-up of files using fds can now

badf16621c [PATCH] files: break up files struct
In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must
be updated atomically.  Instead of ensuring this through too many memory
barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure.  This
patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate
structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct.  It also changes all
the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro.  Subsequent
applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

383f2835eb [PATCH] Prefetch kernel stacks to speed up context switch
For architecture like ia64, the switch stack structure is fairly large
(currently 528 bytes).  For context switch intensive application, we found
that significant amount of cache misses occurs in switch_to() function.
The following patch adds a hook in the schedule() function to prefetch
switch stack structure as soon as 'next' task is determined.  This allows
maximum overlap in prefetch cache lines for that structure.

69ac59647e [PATCH] alpha: process_reloc_for_got confuses r_offset and r_addend
arch/alpha/kernel/module.c:process_reloc_for_got(), which figures out how big
the .got section for a module should be, appears to be confusing r_offset (the
file offset that the relocation needs to be applied to) with r_addend (the
offset of the relocation's actual target address from the address of the
relocation's symbol).  Because of this, one .got entry is allocated for each
relocation instead of one each unique symbol/addend.

In the module I am working with, this causes the .got section to be almost 10
times larger than it needs to be (75544 bytes instead of 7608 bytes).  As the
.got is accessed with global-pointer-relative instructions, it needs to be
within the 64k gp "zone", and a 75544 byte .got clearly does not fit.  The
result of this is that relocation overflows are detected during module load
and the load is aborted.

Change struct got_entry/process_reloc_for_got to fix this.

fdf26d933a [PATCH] x86_64: Don't do broadcast IPIs when hotplug is enabled in flat mode.
The use of non-shortcut version of routines breaking CPU hotplug.  The option
to select this via cmdline also is deleted with the physflat patch, hence
directly placing this code under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

We dont want to use broadcast mode IPI's when hotplug is enabled.  This causes
bad effects in send IPI to a cpu that is offline which can trip when the cpu
is in the process of being kicked alive.
