Randomise the lower bits of the stack address. More randomisation is good for
security but the scatter can also help with SMT threads that share an L1. A
quick test case shows this working:
int main()
{
int sp;
printf("%x\n", (unsigned long)&sp & 4095);
}
before:

At the moment we randomise the stack by 8MB on 32bit and 64bit tasks. Since we
have a lot more address space to play with on 64bit, lets do what x86 does and
increase that randomisation to 1GB:
before:
# for i in seq `1 10` ; do sleep 1 & cat /proc/${!}/maps | grep stack; done
fffffebc000-fffffed1000 rw-p ffffffeb000 00:00 0 [stack]

Randomise mmap start address - 8MB on 32bit and 1GB on 64bit tasks.
Until ppc32 uses the mmap.c functionality, this is ppc64 specific.
Before:
# ./test & cat /proc/${!}/maps|tail -2|head -1
f75fe000-f7fff000 rw-p f75fe000 00:00 0
f75fe000-f7fff000 rw-p f75fe000 00:00 0

f75fe000-f7fff000 rw-p f75fe000 00:00 0
After:
# ./test & cat /proc/${!}/maps|tail -2|head -1
f718b000-f7b8c000 rw-p f718b000 00:00 0
f7551000-f7f52000 rw-p f7551000 00:00 0

While testing partition migration with heavy CPU load using
shared processors, it was observed that sometimes the migration
would never complete and would appear to hang. Currently, the
migration code assumes that if H_SUCCESS is returned from the H_JOIN
then the migration is complete and the processor is waking up on
the target system. If there was an outstanding PROD to the processor
when the H_JOIN is called, however, it will return H_SUCCESS on the source
system, causing the migration to hang, or in some scenarios cause
the kernel to crash on the complete call waking the caller
of rtas_percpu_suspend_me. Fix this by calling H_JOIN multiple times
if necessary during the migration.

There are hardware limitations on the number of available MSIs,
which firmware expresses using a property named "ibm,pe-total-#msi".
This property tells us how many MSIs are available for devices below
the point in the PCI tree where we find the property.
For old firmwares which don't have the property, we assume there are
8 MSIs available per "partitionable endpoint" (PE). The PE can be
found using existing EEH code, which uses the methods described in
PAPR. For our purposes we want the parent of the node that's
identified using this method.
When a driver requests n MSIs for a device, we first establish where
the "ibm,pe-total-#msi" property above that device is, or we find the
PE if the property is not found. In both cases we call this node
the "pe_dn".
We then count all non-bridge devices below the pe_dn, to establish
how many devices in total may need MSIs. The quota is then simply the
total available divided by the number of devices, if the request is
less than or equal to the quota, the request is fine and we're done.
If the request is greater than the quota, we try to determine if there
are any "spare" MSIs which we can give to this device. Spare MSIs are
found by looking for other devices which can never use their full
quota, because their "req#msi(-x)" property is less than the quota.
If we find any spare, we divide the spares by the number of devices
that could request more than their quota. This ensures the spare
MSIs are spread evenly amongst all over-quota requestors.

If a driver asks for more MSIs than the devices "req#msi(-x)" property,
we currently return -ENOSPC. This doesn't give the driver any chance to
make a new request with a number that might work.
So if "req#msi(-x)" is less than the request, return its value. To be
100% safe, make sure we return an error if req_msi == 0.

Impact: clean up, remove duplicate code
When ftrace was first ported to PowerPC, there existed a
create_function_call that would create the instruction to make a call
to a given address. Unfortunately, this call expected to write to
the address it was given, and since it used the address to calculate
the offset, it could not be faked.
ftrace needed a way to create the instruction without actually writing
that instruction to the text section. So ftrace had to implement its
own code.
Now we have create_branch in the code patching library, which does
exactly what ftrace needs. This patch replaces ftrace's implementation
with the library function.

The original port of ftrace to PowerPC kept a lot of the code used
by x86. Some of this code was to handle x86's 5 byte instruction.
This was handled by using character arrays to manipulate the
code.
PowerPC has a consistent 4 byte instruction. Using unsigned ints
makes the code more efficient as well as more readable.
By converting to use unsigned ints to represent instructions,
I was able to remove the side effects that were needed for
manipulating character strings.
i.e. memcpy and memcmp

The TOCS used by modules are different than the one used by
the core kernel code. The function graph tracer must save and
restore the TOC whenever it traces a module call. But this
is an added overhead to burden the majority of core kernel
code being traced.
Benjamin Herrenschmidt suggested in testing the entry of
the call to tell if it is a core kernel function or a module.
He recommended using the REGION_ID() macro to perform this test.
This patch implements Benjamin's idea, and uses a different
return_to_handler routine dependent on if the entry is a core
kernel function or not. The module version saves the TOC, where as
the core kernel version does not.

Fix the powerpc NUMA reserve bootmem page selection logic.
commit 8f64e1f2d1e09267ac926e15090fd505c1c0cbcb (powerpc: Reserve
in bootmem lmb reserved regions that cross NUMA nodes) changed
the logic for how the powerpc LMB reserved regions were converted
to bootmen reserved regions. As the folowing discussion reports,
the new logic was not correct.
mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() goes through each LMB on the
system that specifies a reserved area. It searches for
active regions that intersect with that LMB and are on the
specified node. It attempts to bootmem-reserve only the area
where the active region and the reserved LMB intersect. We
can not reserve things on other nodes as they may not have
bootmem structures allocated, yet.
We base the size of the bootmem reservation on two possible
things. Normally, we just make the reservation start and
stop exactly at the start and end of the LMB.
However, the LMB reservations are not aware of NUMA nodes and
on occasion a single LMB may cross into several adjacent
active regions. Those may even be on different NUMA nodes
and will require separate calls to the bootmem reserve
functions. So, the bootmem reservation must be trimmed to
fit inside the current active region.
That's all fine and dandy, but we trim the reservation
in a page-aligned fashion. That's bad because we start the
reservation at a non-page-aligned address: physbase.
The reservation may only span 2 bytes, but that those bytes
may span two pfns and cause a reserve_size of 2*PAGE_SIZE.
Take the case where you reserve 0x2 bytes at 0x0fff and
where the active region ends at 0x1000. You'll jump into
that if() statment, but node_ar.end_pfn=0x1 and
start_pfn=0x0. You'll end up with a reserve_size=0x1000,
and then call
reserve_bootmem_node(node, physbase=0xfff, size=0x1000);
0x1000 may not be on the same node as 0xfff. Oops.
In almost all the vm code, end_<anything> is not inclusive.
If you have an end_pfn of 0x1234, page 0x1234 is not
included in the range. Using PFN_UP instead of the
(>> >> PAGE_SHIFT) will make this consistent with the other VM
code.
We also need to do math for the reserved size with physbase
instead of start_pfn. node_ar.end_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT is
*precisely* the end of the node. However,
(start_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) is *NOT* precisely the beginning
of the reserved area. That is, of course, physbase.
If we don't use physbase here, the reserve_size can be
made too large.

the 'Book-3e' concept to convey the new MMU that is based on the
Freescale Book-E MMU programming model.
Note, its still invalid to try and use a page size that isn't supported
by cpu.

Added a device tree that should be identical to mpc8572ds.dtb except
the physical addresses for all IO are above the 4G boundary.

powerpc/mm: Rework usage of _PAGE_COHERENT/NO_CACHE/GUARDED
broke setting of the _PAGE_COHERENT bit in the PPC HW PTE. Since we now
actually set _PAGE_COHERENT in the Linux PTE we shouldn't be clearing it
out before we propogate it to the PPC HW PTE.

This patch reworks the way we do I and D cache coherency on PowerPC.
The "old" way was split in 3 different parts depending on the processor type:
- Hash with per-page exec support (64-bit and >= POWER4 only) does it
at hashing time, by preventing exec on unclean pages and cleaning pages
on exec faults.
- Everything without per-page exec support (32-bit hash, 8xx, and
64-bit < POWER4) does it for all page going to user space in update_mmu_cache().
- Embedded with per-page exec support does it from do_page_fault() on
exec faults, in a way similar to what the hash code does.
That leads to confusion, and bugs. For example, the method using update_mmu_cache()
is racy on SMP where another processor can see the new PTE and hash it in before
we have cleaned the cache, and then blow trying to execute. This is hard to hit but
I think it has bitten us in the past.
Also, it's inefficient for embedded where we always end up having to do at least
one more page fault.
This reworks the whole thing by moving the cache sync into two main call sites,
though we keep different behaviours depending on the HW capability. The call
sites are set_pte_at() which is now made out of line, and ptep_set_access_flags()
which joins the former in pgtable.c
The base idea for Embedded with per-page exec support, is that we now do the
flush at set_pte_at() time when coming from an exec fault, which allows us
to avoid the double fault problem completely (we can even improve the situation
more by implementing TLB preload in update_mmu_cache() but that's for later).
If for some reason we didn't do it there and we try to execute, we'll hit
the page fault, which will do a minor fault, which will hit ptep_set_access_flags()
to do things like update _PAGE_ACCESSED or _PAGE_DIRTY if needed, we just make
this guys also perform the I/D cache sync for exec faults now. This second path
is the catch all for things that weren't cleaned at set_pte_at() time.
For cpus without per-pag exec support, we always do the sync at set_pte_at(),
thus guaranteeing that when the PTE is visible to other processors, the cache
is clean.
For the 64-bit hash with per-page exec support case, we keep the old mechanism
for now. I'll look into changing it later, once I've reworked a bit how we
use _PAGE_EXEC.
This is also a first step for adding _PAGE_EXEC support for embedded platforms

CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is selected, because otherwise the kernel
wouldn't boot. The AmigaOne's U-boot firmware seems to have a problem
loading uImages bigger than 1.8 MB.

This adds the bootwrapper for the cuImage target and a compatible property
check for "pnpPNP,501" to the generic serial console support code.
The default link address for the cuImage target is set to 0x800000. This
allows to boot the kernel with AmigaOS4's second level bootloader, which
always loads a uImage at 0x500000.
