The fix applied in e0c6d97c65e0784aade7e97b9411f245a6c543e7
"security hole in sn2_ptc_proc_write" didn't take into account
the case where count==0 (which results in a buffer underrun
when adding the trailing '\0'). Thanks to Andi Kleen for
pointing this out.

None of these files use any of the functionality promised by

If the sn2_rtc clock is present then it is a must have since sn2_rtc
provides a synchronized time source on Altix systems. So elevate
the priority to 450. Otherwise the ITC would take precendence. Altix
systems currently do not boot because the ITC clocksource is broken. It
seems to assume that ITCs are synchronized and as a result nanosleep
hangs (may be fixed in a different patch).
While we are at it: Remove the sn2_mc definition. The sn2_rtc has a fixed
address. No point in reading the address from memory. Removing it avoids
touching one cacheline.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

fix-rmmod-read-write-races-in-proc-entries.patch doesn't want dynamically
allocated ->proc_fops, because it will set it to NULL at module unload time.
Regardless of module status, switch to statically allocated ->proc_fops which
leads to simpler code without wrappers.
AFAICS, also fix the following bug: "sn_force_interrupt" proc entry set
->write for itself, but was created with 0444 permissions. Change to 0644.

Modify the gen_pool allocator (lib/genalloc.c) to utilize a bitmap scheme
instead of the buddy scheme. The purpose of this change is to eliminate
the touching of the actual memory being allocated.
Since the change modifies the interface, a change to the uncached allocator
(arch/ia64/kernel/uncached.c) is also required.
Both Andrey Volkov and Jes Sorenson have expressed a desire that the
gen_pool allocator not write to the memory being managed. See the
following:

There is an SN bug in sn_hwperf.c that affects systems with 1024n or 1024p.
The bug manifests itself 2 ways: IO interrupts are not always
targeted to the nearest node, and 2) the "cat /proc/sgi_sn/sn_topology"
commands fails with "cannot allocate memory".
The code is using the wrong macros for validating node numbers.

MPI programs using certain debug options have a long
startup time. This was traced to a "vmalloc/vfree" in
the code that reads /proc/sgi_sn/sn_topology. On large
systems, vfree requires an IPI to all cpus to do TLB
purging.
Replace the vmalloc/vfree with kmalloc/kfree. Although
the size of the structure being allocated is unknown, it
will not not exceed 96 bytes.

The original ia64 udelay() was simple, but flawed for platforms without
synchronized ITCs: a preemption and migration to another CPU during the
while-loop likely resulted in too-early termination or very, very
lengthy looping.
The first fix (now in 2.6.15) broke the delay loop into smaller,
non-preemptible chunks, reenabling preemption between the chunks. This
fix is flawed in that the total udelay is computed to be the sum of just
the non-premptible while-loop pieces, i.e., not counting the time spent
in the interim preemptible periods. If an interrupt or a migration
occurs during one of these interim periods, then that time is invisible
and only serves to lengthen the effective udelay().
This new fix backs out the current flawed fix and returns to a simple
udelay(), fully preemptible and interruptible. It implements two simple
alternative udelay() routines: one a default generic version that uses
ia64_get_itc(), and the other an sn-specific version that uses that
platform's RTC.

On SN2, MMIO writes which are issued from separate processors are not
guaranteed to arrive in any particular order at the IO hardware. When
performing such writes from the kernel this is not a problem, as a
kernel thread will not migrate to another CPU during execution, and
mmiowb() calls can guarantee write ordering when control of the IO
resource is allowed to move between threads.
However, when MMIO writes can be performed from user space (e.g. DRM)
there are no such guarantees and mechanisms, as the process may
context-switch at any time, and may migrate to a different CPU as part
of the switch. For such programs/hardware to operate correctly, it is
required that the MMIO writes from the old CPU be accepted by the IO
hardware before subsequent writes from the new CPU can be issued.
The following patch implements this behavior on SN2 by waiting for a
Shub register to indicate that these writes have been accepted. This
is placed in the context switch-in path, and only performs the wait
when the newly scheduled task changes CPUs.

arch/ia64/sn/Makefile sets CPPFLAGS, expecting that setting to
propogate to all the subdirectories. For a normal build with its
recursive descent it does work, but doing a selective build like
'make arch/ia64/sn/kernel/io_init.i' does not do a recursive descent,
it goes directly to arch/ia64/sn/kernel/Makefile so the flags do not
get set.
To support selective builds, set the flags in all the subordinate Makefiles.

I see why the problem exists only on SN. SN uses a different hardware
mechanism to purge TLB entries across nodes.
It looks like there is a bug in the SN TLB flushing code. During context switch,
kernel threads inherit the mm of the task that was previously running on the
cpu. This confuses the code in sn2_global_tlb_purge().
The result is a missed TLB purge for the task that owns the "borrowed" mm.
(I hit the problem running heavy stress where kswapd was purging code pages of
a user task that woke kswapd. The user task took a SIGILL fault trying to
execute code in the page that had been ripped out from underneath it).

flush_tlb_all() can be a scaling issue on large SGI Altix systems
since it uses the global call_lock and always executes on all cpus.
When a process enters flush_tlb_range() to purge TLBs for another
process, it is possible to avoid flush_tlb_all() and instead allow
sn2_global_tlb_purge() to purge TLBs only where necessary.
This patch modifies flush_tlb_range() so that this case can be handled
by platform TLB purge functions and updates ia64_global_tlb_purge()
accordingly. sn2_global_tlb_purge() now calculates the region register
value from the mm argument introduced with this patch.

Some of the SN code & #defines related to compact nodes & IO discovery
have gotten stale over the years. This patch attempts to clean them up.
Some of the various SN MAX_xxx #defines were also unclear & misused.
The primary changes are:
- use MAX_NUMNODES. This is the generic linux #define for the number
of nodes that are known to the generic kernel. Arrays & loops
for constructs that are 1:1 with linux-defined nodes should
use the linux #define - not an SN equivalent.
- use MAX_COMPACT_NODES for MAX_NUMNODES + NUM_TIOS. This is the
number of nodes in the SSI system. Compact nodes are a hack to
get around the IA64 architectural limit of 256 nodes. Large SGI
systems have more than 256 nodes. When we upgrade to ACPI3.0,
I _hope_ that all nodes will be real nodes that are known to
the generic kernel. That will allow us to delete the notion
of "compact nodes".
- add MAX_NUMALINK_NODES for the total number of nodes that
are in the numalink domain - all partitions.
- simplified (understandable) scan_for_ionodes()
- small amount of cleanup related to cnodes
