This changes vmemmap to use a different region (region 0xf) of the
address space, and to configure the page size of that region
dynamically at boot.
The problem with the current approach of always using 16M pages is that
it's not well suited to machines that have small amounts of memory such
as small partitions on pseries, or PS3's.
In fact, on the PS3, failure to allocate the 16M page backing vmmemmap
tends to prevent hotplugging the HV's "additional" memory, thus limiting
the available memory even more, from my experience down to something
like 80M total, which makes it really not very useable.
The logic used by my match to choose the vmemmap page size is:
- If 16M pages are available and there's 1G or more RAM at boot,
use that size.
- Else if 64K pages are available, use that
- Else use 4K pages
I've tested on a POWER6 (16M pages) and on an iSeries POWER3 (4K pages)
and it seems to work fine.
Note that I intend to change the way we organize the kernel regions &
SLBs so the actual region will change from 0xf back to something else at
one point, as I simplify the SLB miss handler, but that will be for a
later patch.

The 8568 MDS needs some configuration changes to the PHY in order to
work properly. These are done in the firmware, normally, but Linux
shouldn't need to rely on the firmware running such things (someone
could disable the PHY support in the firmware to save space, for instance).

As of current mainline tree, TULIP driver is unusable on MPC8610HPCD
boards. There is a patch[1] floating around (and also included in the
BSP), which tries to heal the situation, though the ethernet is still
unusable. Practically it takes ages to mount NFS filesystem:
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 180k init
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 OK
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 OK
nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying
So, instead of trying to add uli526x functionality into TULIP driver
(which is already bloated enough), I fixed existing ULI526X driver
and now it works perfectly well here.

The Alchemy platform code registers the SMBus device using the virtual
address of its registers instead of the physical one -- fix this, taking
into account that actually the whole megabyte is decoded by any of the
programmable serial controllers (one of which is SMBus), and that all the
Alchemy peripherals are directly mappable into KSEG1 kernel space and
therefore ioremap() call would just boil down to CKSEG1ADDR() invocation.

Read all of the OF memory and translation tables, then read
the physical available memory list twice.
When making these requests, OF can allocate more memory to
do it's job, which can remove pages from the available
memory list.
So fetch in all of the tables at once, and fetch the available
list last to make sure we read a stable value.

sparc: Fix debugger syscall restart interactions.

sparc32: Don't twiddle PT_DTRACE in exec.
sparc video: remove open boot prom code
|

So, forever, we've had this ptrace_signal_deliver implementation
which tries to handle all of the nasties that can occur when the
debugger looks at a process about to take a signal. It's meant
to address all of these issues inside of the kernel so that the
debugger need not be mindful of such things.
Problem is, this doesn't work.
The idea was that we should do the syscall restart business first, so
that the debugger captures that state. Otherwise, if the debugger for
example saves the child's state, makes the child execute something
else, then restores the saved state, we won't handle the syscall
restart properly because we lose the "we're in a syscall" state.
The code here worked for most cases, but if the debugger actually
passes the signal through to the child unaltered, it's possible that
we would do a syscall restart when we shouldn't have.
In particular this breaks the case of debugging a process under a gdb
which is being debugged by yet another gdb. gdb uses sigsuspend
to wait for SIGCHLD of the inferior, but if gdb itself is being
debugged by a top-level gdb we get a ptrace_stop(). The top-level gdb
does a PTRACE_CONT with SIGCHLD to let the inferior gdb see the
signal. But ptrace_signal_deliver() assumed the debugger would cancel
out the signal and therefore did a syscall restart, because the return
error was ERESTARTNOHAND.
Fix this by simply making ptrace_signal_deliver() a nop, and providing
a way for the debugger to control system call restarting properly:
1) Report a "in syscall" software bit in regs->{tstate,psr}.
It is set early on in trap entry to a system call and is fully
visible to the debugger via ptrace() and regsets.
2) Test this bit right before doing a syscall restart. We have
to do a final recheck right after get_signal_to_deliver() in
case the debugger cleared the bit during ptrace_stop().
3) Clear the bit in trap return so we don't accidently try to set
that bit in the real register.
As a result we also get a ptrace_{is,clear}_syscall() for sparc32 just
like sparc64 has.
M68K has this same exact bug, and is now the only other user of the
ptrace_signal_deliver hook. It needs to be fixed in the same exact
way as sparc.

Forever we had a PTRACE_SUNOS_DETACH which was unconditionally
recognized, regardless of the personality of the process.
Unfortunately, this value is what ended up in the GLIBC sys/ptrace.h
header file on sparc as PTRACE_DETACH and PT_DETACH.
So continue to recognize this old value. Luckily, it doesn't conflict
with anything we actually care about.

The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
(and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The
latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
mess of scheduling.
The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
previous commit 00b41ec2611dc98f87f30753ee00a53db648d662 'Revert
"semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
never had any issues like this.
This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.
As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
plan for several years.
These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
particular) and Alan holds out some hope:
"tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."
so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.
