Commit 9115d13453dee22473a1e8cacc90a8d64a9c4bc9 ("powerpc: Enable
AT_BASE_PLATFORM aux vector") broke boot on 32-bit powerpc systems; we
have to use PTRRELOC to initialize powerpc_base_platform this early in
boot.

This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it
possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't
request to get it built in.
The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor
functions in its asm/gpio.h file. This patch adds the implementations for
x86 and PPC.
With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on
every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions. Support
for more architectures can easily be added.

Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one
global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes
only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system
performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).
Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
system compared to present kretprobe implementation.
Solution:
1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have
two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
lock for kretporbe object.
2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent
deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
lock.
3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
table.
Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.

In many cases, especially in networking, it can be beneficial to know at
compile time whether the architecture can do unaligned accesses efficiently.
This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol
HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
for that purpose and adds it to the powerpc and x86 architectures. Also add
some documentation about alignment and networking, and especially one intended
use of this symbol.

This is a large patch but the normal code path is not affected. For
non-pSeries platforms the code is ifdef'ed out and for non-CMO enabled
pSeries systems this does not affect the normal code path. Devices that
do not perform DMA operations do not need modification with this patch.
The function get_desired_dma was renamed from get_io_entitlement for
clarity.
Overview
Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO) allows for a set of OS partitions
to be run with less RAM than the aggregate needs of the group of
partitions. The firmware will balance memory between the partitions
and page in/out memory as needed. Based on the number and type of IO
adpaters preset each partition is allocated an amount of memory for
DMA operations and this allocation will be guaranteed to the partition;
this is referred to as the partition's 'entitlement'.
Partitions running in a CMO environment can only have virtual IO devices
present. The VIO bus layer will manage the IO entitlement for the system.
Accounting, at a system and per-device level, is tracked in the VIO bus
code and exposed via sysfs. A set of dma_ops functions are added to
the bus to allow for this accounting.
Bus initialization
At initialization, the bus will calculate the minimum needs of the system
based on providing each device present with a standard minimum entitlement
along with a spare allocation for the bus to handle hotplug events.
If the minimum needs can not be met the system boot will be halted.
Device changes
The significant changes for devices while running under CMO are that the
devices must specify how much dedicated IO entitlement they desire and
must also handle DMA mapping errors that can occur due to constrained
IO memory. The virtual IO drivers are modified to silence errors when
DMA mappings fail for CMO and handle these failures gracefully.
Each devices will be guaranteed a minimum entitlement that can always
be mapped. Devices will specify how much entitlement they desire and
the VIO bus will attempt to provide for this. Devices can change their
desired entitlement level at any point in time to address particular needs
(via vio_cmo_set_dev_desired()), not just at device probe time.
VIO bus changes
The system will have a particular entitlement level available from which
it can provide memory to the devices. The bus defines two pools of memory
within this entitlement, the reserved and excess pools. Each device is
provided with it's own entitlement no less than a system defined minimum
entitlement and no greater than what the device has specified as it's
desired entitlement. The entitlement provided to devices comes from the
reserve pool. The reserve pool can also contain a spare allocation as
large as the system defined minimum entitlement which is used for device
hotplug events. Any entitlement not needed to fulfill the needs of a
reserve pool is placed in the excess pool. Each device is guaranteed
that it can map up to it's entitled level; additional mapping are possible
as long as there is unmapped memory in the excess pool.
Bus probe
As the system starts, each device is given an entitlement equal only
to the system defined minimum entitlement. The reserve pool is equal
to the sum of these entitlements, plus a spare allocation. The VIO bus
also tracks the aggregate desired entitlement of all the devices. If the
system desired entitlement is greater than the size of the reserve pool,
when devices unmap IO memory it will be reserved and a balance operation
will be scheduled for some time in the future.
Entitlement balancing
The balance function tries to fairly distribute entitlement between the
devices in the system with the goal of providing each device with it's
desired amount of entitlement. Devices using more than what would be
ideal will have their entitled set-point adjusted; this will effectively
set a goal for lower IO memory usage as future mappings can fail and
deallocations will trigger a balance operation to distribute the newly
unmapped memory. A fair distribution of entitlement can take several
balance operations to achieve. Entitlement changes and device DLPAR
events will alter the state of CMO and will trigger balance operations.
Hotplug events
The VIO bus allows for changes in system entitlement at run-time via
'vio_cmo_entitlement_update()'. When devices are added the hotplug
device event will be preceded by a system entitlement increase and this
is reversed when devices are removed.
The following changes are made that the VIO bus layer for CMO:
* add IO memory accounting per device structure.
* add IO memory entitlement query function to driver structure.
* during vio bus probe, if CMO is enabled, check that driver has
memory entitlement query function defined. Fail if function not defined.
* fail to register driver if io entitlement function not defined.
* create set of dma_ops at vio level for CMO that will track allocations
and return DMA failures once entitlement is reached. Entitlement will
limited by overall system entitlement. Devices will have a reserved
quantity of memory that is guaranteed, the rest can be used as available.
* expose entitlement, current allocation, desired allocation, and the
allocation error counter for devices to the user through sysfs
* provide mechanism for changing a device's desired entitlement at run time
for devices as an exported function and sysfs tunable
* track any DMA failures for entitled IO memory for each vio device.
* check entitlement against available system entitlement on device add
* track entitlement metrics (high water mark, current usage)
* provide function to reset high water mark
* provide minimum and desired entitlement numbers at a bus level
* provide drivers with a minimum guaranteed entitlement
* balance available entitlement between devices to satisfy their needs
* handle system entitlement changes and device hotplug

To support Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO), we need to check
for failure from some of the tce hcalls.
These changes for the pseries platform affect the powerpc architecture;
patches for the other affected platforms are included in this patch.
pSeries platform IOMMU code changes:
* platform TCE functions must handle H_NOT_ENOUGH_RESOURCES errors and
return an error.
Architecture IOMMU code changes:
* Calls to ppc_md.tce_build need to check return values and return
DMA_MAPPING_ERROR for transient errors.
Architecture changes:
* struct machdep_calls for tce_build*_pSeriesLP functions need to change
to indicate failure.
* all other platforms will need updates to iommu functions to match the new
calling semantics; they will return 0 on success. The other platforms
default configs have been built, but no further testing was performed.

At the moment the fixed mapping is by default strongly ordered (the
iommu_fixed=weak boot option must be used to make the fixed mapping weakly
ordered). If we're on a setup where the southbridge is being used in
endpoint mode (triblade and CAB boards) the default should be a weakly
ordered fixed mapping.
This adds a check so that if a node of type pcie-endpoint can be found in
the device tree the fixed mapping is set to be weak by default (but can be
overridden using iommu_fixed=strong).

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:
u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):
#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.
Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

Instead of using the variable mmu_huge_psize to keep track of the huge
page size we use an array of MMU_PAGE_* values. For each supported huge
page size we need to know the hugepte_shift value and have a
pgtable_cache. The hstate or an mmu_huge_psizes index is passed to
functions so that they know which huge page size they should use.
The hugepage sizes 16M and 64K are setup(if available on the hardware) so
that they don't have to be set on the boot cmd line in order to use them.
The number of 16G pages have to be specified at boot-time though (e.g.
hugepagesz=16G hugepages=5).

The huge page size is defined for 16G pages. If a hugepagesz of 16G is
specified at boot-time then it becomes the huge page size instead of the
default 16M.
The change in pgtable-64K.h is to the macro pte_iterate_hashed_subpages to
make the increment to va (the 1 being shifted) be a long so that it is not
shifted to 0. Otherwise it would create an infinite loop when the shift
value is for a 16G page (when base page size is 64K).

The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).
The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.
This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.
Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

This uses the new vm_ops->access to allow gdb to access the SPU local

be done later if really needed but it's safer not to.

This adds ioremap_prot and pte_pgprot() so that one can extract protection
bits from a PTE and use them to ioremap_prot() (in order to support ptrace
of VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP as per Rik's patch).
This moves a couple of flag checks around in the ioremap implementations
of arch/powerpc. There's a side effect of allowing non-cacheable and
non-guarded mappings on ppc32 which before would always have _PAGE_GUARDED
set whenever _PAGE_NO_CACHE is.
(standard ioremap will still set _PAGE_GUARDED, but ioremap_prot will be
capable of setting such a non guarded mapping).

Flag platforms as HAVE_CLK (or not) in Kconfig, based on whether they
support <linux/clk.h> calls, so that otherwise portable drivers which need
those calls can list that dependency.
Something like this is a prerequisite for merging the musb_hdrc driver,
currently used on platforms including Davinci, OMAP2430, OMAP3xx ... and
the discrete TUSB6010 chip, which doesn't have a natural platform
dependency. (Used with OMAP 2420 in current Nokia N8x0 tablets.)

This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and
implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core
interface.
It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you
cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of
debug hooks.
The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the
debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver.
Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver
configured.

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.
I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.
I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.
Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32

binutils < 2.18 has a bug that makes it misbehave when taking an
ELF file with all segments at load address 0 as input. This
happens when running "strip" on vmlinux, because of the AT() magic
in this linker script. People using GCC >= 4.2 won't run into
this problem, because the "build-id" support will put some data
into the "notes" segment (at a non-zero load address).
To work around this, we force some data into both the "dummy"
segment and the kernel segment, so the dummy segment will get a
non-zero load address. It's not enough to always create the
"notes" segment, since if nothing gets assigned to it, its load
address will be zero.

This patch changes the EEH_MAX_FAILS action from panic to printing an
error message. Panicking under under this condition is too harsh.
Although performance will be affected and the device may not recover,
the system is still running, which at the very least should allow for a
more graceful shutdown. The patch also removes the msleep() within a
spinlock, which can lead to a deadlock and is not recommended.
