Initial fix for making sure that we can access percpu variables
in all C code (commit: 10617bbe84628eb18ab5f723d3ba35005adde143)
inadvertantly allocated the memory in the "percpu" section of
the vmlinux ELF executable. This confused kexec/dump.

Currently a memory segment in memory map with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC
is denoted as "System RAM" in /proc/iomem, while memory of attribute
(EFI_MEMORY_WB|EFI_MEMORY_UC) is also labeled the same.
The kexec utility then includes uncached memory as part of vmcore. The
kdump kernel MCA'ed when it tries to save the vmcore to a disk. A normal
"cached" access may cause MCAs.
This patch would label memory with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC only as
"Uncached RAM" so that kexec would know not to include it in the vmcore.
I will submit a separate kexec-tools patch to the kexec list.

Peter Chubb reported that commit 3463a93def55c309f3c0d0a8aaf216be3be42d64
(Update check_sal_cache_flush to use platform_send_ipi()) broke
Ski because it does not implement IPIs.
Tony Luck suggested we just #ifndef out the call (since the simulator
does not have the SAL bug that this code is attempting to detect and
workaround)

Make ia64 refrain from clearing a given to-be-offlined CPU's bit in the
cpu_online_mask until it has processed pending irqs. This change
prevents other CPUs from being blindsided by an apparently offline CPU
nevertheless changing globally visible state. Also remove the existing
redundant cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_online_map).

Broke the non modular builds by moving an essential function into
modules.c. Fix this by moving it out again and into asm/sections.h as
an inline. To do this, the definitions of struct fdesc and struct
got_val have been lifted out of modules.c and put in asm/elf.h where

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors
Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

Some ia64 systems produce several repeats of kernel messages like this:
kernel unaligned access to 0xe000000644220466, ip=0xa000000100516fa1
This was tracked to ide code using the __cmd[] field in "struct request"
via the __outsw() function. __cmd[] is a char array, so is not guaranteed
to be properly aligned when accessed as words.

CONFIG_SFC=m uses topology_core_siblings() which, for ia64, expects
cpu_core_map to be exported. It is not. This patch exports the needed
symbol.
Maintainers note: This really looks like the wrong thing to do ... it
would be much better for the kernel to export an API to provide
drivers like this with data they need (which in the case of this
driver seems to be an estimate of the effective parallelism available
on the platform). But x86 has exported this forever ... so go with
the flow until such an API is defined.

ia64 handles per-cpu variables a litle differently from other architectures
in that it maps the physical memory allocated for each cpu at a constant
virtual address (0xffffffffffff0000). This mapping is not enabled until
the architecture specific cpu_init() function is run, which causes problems
since some generic code is run before this point. In particular when
CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is enabled, the boot cpu will trap on the access to
per-cpu memory at the first printk() call so the boot will fail without
the kernel printing anything to the console.
Fix this by allocating percpu memory for cpu0 in the kernel data section
and doing all initialization to enable percpu access in head.S before
calling any generic code.
Other cpus must take care not to access per-cpu variables too early, but
their code path from start_secondary() to cpu_init() is all in arch/ia64

This series of patches adds a driver for the SGI UV GRU. The driver is
still in development but it currently compiles for both x86_64 & IA64.
All simple regression tests pass on IA64. Although features remain to be
added, I'd like to start the process of getting the driver into the
kernel. Additional kernel drivers will depend on services provide by the
GRU driver.
The GRU is a hardware resource located in the system chipset. The GRU
contains memory that is mmaped into the user address space. This memory
is used to communicate with the GRU to perform functions such as
load/store, scatter/gather, bcopy, AMOs, etc. The GRU is directly
accessed by user instructions using user virtual addresses. GRU
instructions (ex., bcopy) use user virtual addresses for operands.
The GRU contains a large TLB that is functionally very similar to
processor TLBs. Because the external contains a TLB with user virtual
address, it requires callouts from the core VM system when certain types
of changes are made to the process page tables. There are several MMUOPS
patches currently being discussed but none has been accepted into the
kernel. The GRU driver is built using version V18 from Andrea Arcangeli.
This patch:
Contains the definitions of the hardware GRU data structures that are used
by the driver to manage the GRU.

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:
This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.
A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.
The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.
The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.
This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

[IA64] Wire up new system calls
|

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.

This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value. This patch implements
the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag. I did not add support for the new
syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation. I
think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
implementation but that's up to them.
The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags. I did that instead of changing
all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
I would probably screw up changing the assembly code. To avoid breaking code
do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags. Once all callers are
changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.
The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

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 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

acpi_map_lsapic tries to stuff a long into ia64_cpu_to_sapicid[],
which can only hold ints, so let's fix that.
We need to update the signature of acpi_map_cpu2node() too.

module_free() refers the first parameter before checking.
But it is called like below(in kernel/kprobes). The first parameter is always NULL.
This happens when many probe points(>1024) are set by kprobes.
I encountered this with using SystemTap. It can set many probes easily.
static int __kprobes collect_one_slot(struct kprobe_insn_page *kip, int idx)
{
...
if (kip->nused == 0) {
hlist_del(&kip->hlist);
if (hlist_empty(&kprobe_insn_pages)) {
...
} else {
module_free(NULL, kip->insns); //<<< 1st param always NULL
kfree(kip);
}
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
