Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
pointer.
This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of
sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.
linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.
Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

It is done by the generic IRQ layer now.

This is the long overdue conversion of sparc64 over to
the generic IRQ layer.
The kernel image is slightly larger, but the BSS is ~60K
smaller due to the reduced size of struct ino_bucket.
A lot of IRQ implementation details, including ino_bucket,
were moved out of asm-sparc64/irq.h and are now private to
arch/sparc64/kernel/irq.c, and most of the code in irq.c
totally disappeared.
One thing that's different at the moment is IRQ distribution,
we do it at enable_irq() time. If the cpu mask is ALL then
we round-robin using a global rotating cpu counter, else
we pick the first cpu in the mask to support single cpu
targetting. This is similar to what powerpc's XICS IRQ
support code does.
This works fine on my UP SB1000, and the SMP build goes
fine and runs on that machine, but lots of testing on
different setups is needed.

Inspired by PowerPC XICS interrupt support code.
All IRQs are virtualized in order to keep NR_IRQS from needing
to be too large. Interrupts on sparc64 are arbitrary 11-bit
values, but we don't need to define NR_IRQS to 2048 if we
virtualize the IRQs.
As PCI and SBUS controller drivers build device IRQs, we divy
out virtual IRQ numbers incrementally starting at 1. Zero is
a special virtual IRQ used for the timer interrupt.
So device drivers all see virtual IRQs, and all the normal
interfaces such as request_irq(), enable_irq(), etc. translate
that into a real IRQ number in order to configure the IRQ.
At this point knowledge of the struct ino_bucket is almost
entirely contained within arch/sparc64/kernel/irq.c There are
a few small bits in the PCI controller drivers that need to
be swept away before we can remove ino_bucket's definition
out of asm-sparc64/irq.h and privately into kernel/irq.c

And reuse that struct member for virt_irq, which will
be used in future changesets for the implementation of
mapping between real and virtual IRQ numbers.
This nicely kills off a ton of SBUS and PCI controller
PIL assignment code which is no longer necessary.

This is the first in a series of cleanups that will hopefully
allow a seamless attempt at using the generic IRQ handling
infrastructure in the Linux kernel.
Define PIL_DEVICE_IRQ and vector all device interrupts through
there.
Get rid of the ugly pil0_dummy_{bucket,desc}, instead vector
the timer interrupt directly to a specific handler since the
timer interrupt is the only event that will be signaled on
PIL 14.
The irq_worklist is now in the per-cpu trap_block[].

Doing PCI config space accesses to non-present PCI slots
can result in fatal JBUS errors if the PCI config access
hypervisor call is performed on cpus other than the boot
cpu.
PCI config space accesses to present PCI slots works just
fine.
Recursively traverse the OBP device tree under the PCI
controller node and record all present device IDs into
a small hash table.
Avoid the hypervisor call for any PCI config space access
attempt for a device not recorded in the hash table.

Both csum_partial() and the csum_partial_copy*() family of routines
forget to do a final fold on the computed checksum value on sparc64.
So do the standard Sparc "add + set condition codes, add carry"
sequence, then make sure the high 32-bits of the return value are
clear.

Using asm-generic/dma-mapping.h does not work because pushing
the call down to pci_alloc_coherent() causes the gfp_t argument
of dma_alloc_coherent() to be ignored.
Fix this by implementing things directly, and adding a gfp_t
argument we can use in the internal call down to the PCI DMA
implementation of pci_alloc_coherent().
This fixes massive memory corruption when using the sound driver
layer, which passes things like __GFP_COMP down into these
routines and (correctly) expects that to work.

A context switch will force a call to flush_tlb_pending() (via
switch_to()), so if we test tlb_nr to be non-zero, then sleep, it
would become zero and later back at the original context we'll pass
zero down into the TLB flushing code which should never see a nr
argument of zero.

Andrew Morton pointed out that compiler might not inline the functions
marked for inline in kprobes. There-by allowing the insertion of probes
on these kprobes routines, which might cause recursion.
This patch removes all such inline and adds them to kprobes section
there by disallowing probes on all such routines. Some of the routines
can even still be inlined, since these routines gets executed after the
kprobes had done necessay setup for reentrancy.

While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't
being exported from lib/string.c. Investigating further, I noticed a
changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more
architectures. The justification was that "other arches do it."
I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines
__HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it
themselves. Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.
We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.
This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

switch_mm() changes the mm state and does a tsb_context_switch()
first, then we do the cpu register state switch which changes
current_thread_info() and current().
So it's safer to check the PGD physical address stored in the
trap block (which will be updated by the tsb_context_switch() in
switch_mm()) than current->active_mm.
Technically we should never run here in between those two
updates, because interrupts are disabled during the entire
context switch operation. But some day we might like to leave
interrupts enabled during the context switch and this change
allows that to happen without any surprises.

[SPARC64]: Fix off-by-1 error in TSB grow check.

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
ATOMIC CHAINS
-------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain
BLOCKING CHAINS
---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain

kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain
kernel/module.c module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain
It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

Morton.

Provide proper kprobes fault handling, if a user-specified pre/post handlers
tries to access user address space, through copy_from_user(), get_user() etc.
The user-specified fault handler gets called only if the fault occurs while
executing user-specified handlers. In such a case user-specified handler is
allowed to fix it first, later if the user-specifed fault handler does not fix
it, we try to fix it by calling fix_exception().
The user-specified handler will not be called if the fault happens when single
stepping the original instruction, instead we reset the current probe and
allow the system page fault handler to fix it up.
