the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

We were doing the wrong call to turn them on, and also
when enabling we need to forcefully set the state to IDLE.

In pci_determine_mem_io_space(), do not hard code the region sizes.
Instead, use the values given to us in the ranges property.

This fixes the IDE controller not showing up on Netra-T1
systems.
Just like Simba bridges, some PCI bridges can lack the
'ranges' OBP property. So we handle this similarly to
the existing Simba code:
1) In of_device register address resolving, we push the
translation to the parent.
2) In PCI device scanning, we interrogate the PCI config
space registers of the PCI bus device in order to resolve
the resources, just like the generic Linux PCI probing
code does.
With much help and testing from Fabio, who also reported
the initial problem.

We used to access the 64-bit IRQ IMAP and ICLR registers of bus
controllers 4-bytes in and as a 32-bit register word, since only the
low 32-bits were relevant. This seemed like a good idea at the time.
But the PCI-E controller requires full 8-byte 64-bit access to
these registers, so we switched over to accessing them fully.
SBUS was not adjusted properly, which broke interrupts completely.

sparc64: fix alignment bug in linker definition script
|

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The RO_DATA section were hardcoded to a specific
alignment in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.h.
But for sparc64 this did not match the PAGE_SIZE.
Introduce a new section definition named:
RO_DATA that takes actual alignment as parameter.
RODATA are provided for backward compatibility.
On top of this avoid hardcoding alignment for
sparc64 in reset of the script
Fix is build-tested on sparc64 + x86_64.

It was using an immediate _PAGE_EXEC_4U value in an 'and'
instruction to perform the test. This doesn't work because
the immediate field is signed 13-bit, this the mask being
tested against the PTE was 0x1000 sign-extended to 32-bits
instead of just plain 0x1000.

Cheetah systems can have cpuids as large as 1023, although physical
systems don't have that many cpus.
Only three limitations existed in the kernel preventing arbitrary
NR_CPUS values:
1) dcache dirty cpu state stored in page->flags on
D-cache aliasing platforms. With some build time
calculations and some build-time BUG checks on
page->flags layout, this one was easily solved.
2) The cheetah XCALL delivery code could only handle
a cpumask with up to 32 cpus set. Some simple looping
logic clears that up too.
3) thread_info->cpu was a u8, easily changed to a u16.
There are a few spots in the kernel that still put NR_CPUS
sized arrays on the kernel stack, but that's not a sparc64
specific problem.

These messages were very useful when bringing up the

Hypervisor interfaces need to be negotiated in order to use
some API calls reliably. So add a small set of interfaces
to request API versions and query current settings.
This allows us to fix some bugs in the hypervisor console:
1) If we can negotiate API group CORE of at least major 1
minor 1 we can use con_read and con_write which can improve
console performance quite a bit.
2) When we do a console write request, we should hold the
spinlock around the whole request, not a byte at a time.
What would happen is that it's easy for output from
different cpus to get mixed with each other.
3) Use consistent udelay() based polling, udelay(1) each
loop with a limit of 1000 polls to handle stuck hypervisor
console.

When auditing syscalls that send signals, log the pid and security
context for each target process. Optimize the data collection by
adding a counter for signal-related rules, and avoiding allocating an
aux struct unless we have more than one target process. For process
groups, collect pid/context data in blocks of 16. Move the
audit_signal_info() hook up in check_kill_permission() so we audit
attempts where permission is denied.
