In arch/ia64/kernel/ptrace.c there is a test for a peek or poke of a
register image (in register backing storage).
The test can be unnecessarily long (and occurs while holding the tasklist_lock).
Especially long on a large system with thousands of active tasks.
The ptrace caller (presumably a debugger) specifies the pid of
its target and an address to peek or poke. But the debugger could be
attached to several tasks.
The idea of find_thread_for_addr() is to find whether the target address
is in the RBS for any of those tasks.
Currently it searches the thread-list of the target pid. If that search
does not find a match, and the shared mm-struct's user count indicates
that there are other tasks sharing this address space (a rare occurrence),
a search is made of all the tasks in the system.
Another approach can drastically shorten this procedure.
It depends upon the fact that in order to peek or poke from/to any task,
the debugger must first attach to that task. And when it does, the
attached task is made a child of the debugger (is chained to its children list).
Therefore we can search just the debugger's children list.

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.

The mpic interrupt controller driver (used on G5 and early pSeries among
others) has a bug where it doesn't get the right virtual address for the
timer registers. It causes the driver to poke at the MMIO space of
whatever has been mapped just next to it (ouch !) when initializing and
causes boot failures on some IBM machines.

bte_copy() calls calls get_nasid(), which will get flagged if
preemption if enabled. raw_smp_processor_id() is used instead.
It is OK if we migrate off node.

In arch/ia64 change the explicit use of a for-loop using NR_CPUS into the
general for_each_online_cpu() construct. This widens the scope of potential
future optimizations of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage
of the existing optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is
advantageous when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

The new ia64 assembler uses slot 1 for the offset of a long (2-slot)
instruction and the old assembler uses slot 2. The 2.6 kernel assumes
slot 2 and won't boot when the new assembler is used:
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1433
This patch will work with either slot 1 or 2.

The simscsi code at present overflows an int if it's given a large
disk image. The attached patch increases the possible size to 128G.
While it's unlikely that anyone will want to use SKI with such a

virtualisation experiments.

AMD recently discovered that on some hardware, there is a race condition
possible when a C-state change request goes onto the bus at the same
time as a P-state change request.
Both requests happen, but the southbridge hardware only acknowledges the
C-state change. The PowerNow! driver is then stuck in a loop, waiting
for the P-state change acknowledgement. The driver eventually times
out, but can no longer perform P-state changes.
It turns out the solution is to resend the P-state change, which the
southbridge will acknowledge normally.
Thanks to Johannes Winkelmann for reporting this and testing the fix.

This fixes a stupid typo bug in the iSeries hash table code.
When we place a hash PTE in the secondary bucket, instead of setting the
SECONDARY flag bit, as we should, we (redundantly) set the VALID flag.
This was introduced with the patch abolishing bitfields from the hash
table code. Mea culpa, oops. It hasn't been noticed until now because
in practice we don't hit the secondary bucket terribly often.

While working on 64K pages, I found this little buglet in our
update_mmu_cache() implementation.
The code calls __hash_page() passing it an "access" parameter (the type
of access that triggers the hash) containing the bits _PAGE_RW and
_PAGE_USER of the linux PTE. The latter is useless in this case and the
former is wrong. In fact, if we have a writeable PTE and we pass
_PAGE_RW to hash_page(), it will set _PAGE_DIRTY (since we track dirty
that way, by hash faulting !dirty) which is not what we want.
In fact, the correct fix is to always pass 0. That means that only
read-only or already dirty read write PTEs will be preloaded. The
(hopefully rare) case of a non dirty read write PTE can't be preloaded
this way, it will have to fault in hash_page on the actual access.

This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.
We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.
The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.
With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.
