When I added the entries for the robust futex syscall entries, I
forgot to bump NR_SYSCALLS. The current situation is error-prone
because NR_SYSCALLS lives in entry.S where the system call limit
checks are enforced. Move the definition to asm/unistd.h in order to
make this mistake much more difficult to make.
And wire up sys_migrate_pages since the powerpc folks implemented the
compat wrapper for us.

Calculation of IPX checksum got buggered about 2.4.0. The old variant
mangled the packet; that got fixed, but calculation itself got buggered.
Restored the correct logics, fixed a subtle breakage we used to have even
back then: if the sum is 0 mod 0xffff, we want to return 0, not 0xffff.
The latter has special meaning for IPX (cheksum disabled). Observation
(and obvious fix) nicked from history of FreeBSD ipx_cksum.c...

Add a swsusp debugging mode. This does everything that's needed for a suspend
except for actually suspending. So we can look in the log messages and work
out a) what code is being slow and b) which drivers are misbehaving.
(1)
# echo testproc > /sys/power/disk
# echo disk > /sys/power/state
This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, wait for 5
seconds and then thaw the processes and the CPU.
(2)
# echo test > /sys/power/disk
# echo disk > /sys/power/state
This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, shrink
memory, suspend all devices, wait for 5 seconds, resume the devices etc.

printk_ratelimit() has global state which makes it not useful for callers
which wish to perform ratelimiting at a particular frequency.
Add a printk_timed_ratelimit() which utilises caller-provided state storage to
permit more flexibility.
This function can in fact be used for things other than printk ratelimiting
and is perhaps poorly named.

ufs2 fails to mount on x86_64, claiming bad magic. This is because
ufs_super_block_third's fs_un1 member is padded out by 4 bytes for 8-byte
alignment, pushing down the rest of the struct.
Forcing this to be packed solves it. I took a quick look over other
on-disk structures and didn't immediately find other problems. I was able
to mount & ls a populated ufs2 filesystem w/ this change.

This is preparation for fixing the ordering of the accesses that
got broken by the commit cf4c6a2f27f5db810b69dcb1da7f194489e8ff88 when
factoring out the "common" io apic routing entry accesses.
Move the accessor function (that were only used by io_apic.c) out
of a header file, and use proper memory-mapped accesses rather than
making up our own "volatile" pointers.

If mmiowb() is always used prior to releasing spinlock as Doc suggests,
then it's safe against preemption; but I'm not convinced that's always
the case. If preemption occurs between sync and get_paca()->io_sync = 0,
I believe there's no problem. But in the unlikely event that gcc does
the store relative to another register than r13 (as it did with current),
then there's a small danger of setting another cpu's io_sync to 0, after
it had just set it to 1. Rewrite ppc64 mmiowb to prevent that.
The remaining io_sync assignments in io.h all get_paca()->io_sync = 1,
which is harmless even if preempted to the wrong cpu (the context switch
itself syncs); and those in spinlock.h are while preemption is disabled.

Repeated -j20 kernel builds on a G5 Quad running an SMP PREEMPT kernel
would often collapse within a day, some exec failing with "Bad address".
In each case examined, load_elf_binary was doing a kernel_read, but
generic_file_aio_read's access_ok saw current->thread.fs.seg as USER_DS
instead of KERNEL_DS.
objdump of filemap.o shows gcc 4.1.0 emitting "mr r5,r13 ... ld r9,416(r5)"
here for get_paca()->__current, instead of the expected and much more usual
"ld r9,416(r13)"; I've seen other gcc4s do the same, but perhaps not gcc3s.
So, if the task is preempted and rescheduled on a different cpu in between
the mr and the ld, r5 will be looking at a different paca_struct from the
one it's now on, pick up the wrong __current, and perhaps the wrong seg.
Presumably much worse could happen elsewhere, though that split is rare.
Other architectures appear to be safe (x86_64's read_pda is more limiting
than get_paca), but ppc64 needs to force "current" into one instruction.

The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew
up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by
numerous error messages:
iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1
Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because
one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when
the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to
exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card.
This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own
unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its
actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE
and then uses this in all the places that matter.
As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance
on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since
we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW
is still 4k).
In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable
in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW
page sizes in the iommu itself.

Fixed a compile error in building the 85xx support with oprofile, and in
the process cleaned up some issues with the fsl_booke performance monitor
code.
* Reorganized FSL Book-E performance monitoring code so that the 7450
wouldn't be built if the e500 was, and cleaned it up so it was more
self-contained.
* Added a cpu_setup function for FSL Book-E. The original
cpu_setup function prototype had no arguments, assuming that
the reg_setup function would copy the required information into
variables which represented the registers. This was silly for
e500, since it has 1 register per counter (rather than 3 for
all counters), so the code has been restructured to have
cpu_setup take the current counter config array as an argument,
with op_powerpc_setup() invoking op_powerpc_cpu_setup() through
on_each_cpu(), and op_powerpc_cpu_setup() invoking the
model-specific cpu_setup function with an argument. The
argument is ignored on all other platforms at present.
* Fixed a confusing line where a trinary operator only had two
arguments

The conversion from IPR-IRQ to IRQ-chip resulted in the
ipr data being allocated in a local variable in
make_ipr_irq - breaking anything using IPR interrupts.
This changes all of the callers of make_ipr_irq to
allocate a static structure containing the IPR data which
is then passed to make_ipr_irq. This removes the need for
make_ipr_irq to allocate any additional space for the IPR
information.

The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim
path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten
(say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer.
The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but
it is fixed slightly differently. In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate
priority record per zone in a local array. In try_to_free_pages there is
no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we
reclaim from.
Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and
setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress
artificially low. They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are,
in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0).
This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly.
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>
__zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority. But zone->prev_priority
is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive
list. Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because
zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up
stuck on the active list.
Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as
__zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages.
This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be
possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

The multithreaded-probing code has a problem: after one initcall level (eg,
core_initcall) has been processed, we will then start processing the next
level (postcore_initcall) while the kernel threads which are handling
core_initcall are still executing. This breaks the guarantees which the
layered initcalls previously gave us.
IOW, we want to be multithreaded _within_ an initcall level, but not between
different levels.
Fix that up by causing the probing code to wait for all outstanding probes at
one level to complete before we start processing the next level.
