This patch adds support for using the LL TEMAC Ethernet driver on
non-Virtex 5 platforms by adding support for accessing the Soft DMA
registers as if they were memory mapped instead of solely through the
DCR's (available on the Virtex 5).
The patch also updates the driver so that it runs on the MicroBlaze.
The changes were tested on the PowerPC 440, PowerPC 405, and the
MicroBlaze platforms.

The savesys_ipl_nss asm function is put into the .init.text section
however it is missing a ".previous" section which would restore the
previous section.
Luckily all functions in early.c are init functions so it doesn't
matter currently.

The default size of the vmalloc area is currently 1 GB. The memory resource
controller uses about 10 MB of vmalloc space per gigabyte of memory. That
turns a system with more than ~100 GB memory unbootable with the default
vmalloc size. It costs us nothing to increase the default size to some
more adequate value, e.g. 128 GB.

commit 6a985c6194017de2c062916ad1cd00dee0302c40
([S390] s390: use change recording override for kernel mapping)
deactivated the change bit recording for the kernel mapping to
improve the performance. This works most of the time, but there
are cases (e.g. kernel runs in home space, futex atomic compare xcmg)
where we modify user memory with the kernel mapping instead of the
user mapping.
Instead of fixing these cases, this patch just deactivates change bit
override to avoid future problems with other kernel code that might
use the kernel mapping for user memory.

If a machine check interrupts the io interrupt handler on one of the
instructions between io_return and io_leave the critical section
cleanup code will move the return psw to io_work_loop. By doing that
the switch from the asynchronous interrupt stack to the process stack
is skipped. If e.g. TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set things break because
the scheduler is called with the asynchronous interrupts stack.
Moving the psw back to io_return instead fixes the problem.

In the default case the lock is not unlocked. The return is
converted to a goto, to share the unlock at the end of the function.
A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>

In NOMMU mode, the FRV segment handling is broken because KERNEL_DS ==
USER_DS. This causes tests of the following sort:
/* don't pin down non-user-based iovecs */
if (segment_eq(get_fs(), KERNEL_DS))
return NULL;
to malfunction.
To fix this, make USER_DS the top of RAM instead of the top of the non-IO
address space, and make KERNEL_DS one more than the top of the non-IO
address space.
Also get rid of FRV's __addr_ok() as nothing uses it.

The Microblaze dynamic ftrace code assumes a call ordering that is not met
in all scenarios. Specifically, executing a command similar to:
echo 105 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_pid
before any other tracing-related commands results in a kernel panic:
BUG: failure at arch/microblaze/kernel/ftrace.c:198/ftrace_update_ftrace_func()!
Recoding ftrace_update_ftrace_func() to use &ftrace_caller directly eliminates
the need to capture its address elsewhere (and thus rely on a particular call
sequence).

IRQ 29 has two possible interrupts DDRINT and RTC, but having both in

This patch fixes an issue where a DMA channel can erroneously process an
event generated by a previous transfer. A failure case is where DMA is
being used for SPI transmit and receive channels on OMAP L138. In this
case there is a single bit that controls all event generation from the
SPI peripheral. Therefore it is possible that between when edma_stop()
has been called for the transmit channel on a previous transfer and
edma_start() is called for the transmit channel on a subsequent transfer,
that a transmit event has been generated.
The fix is to clear events in edma_start(). This prevents false events
from being processed when events are enabled for that channel.

On da830, when the same timer is used for clocksource and clockevent,
the timer can be started before the clockevent is
registered/initialzed. This creates a window where a timer
interrupt might fire before the clockevent handler has been
setup and causes a crash.
This patch moves the actual enable/start of the timer after
the clockevent has ben registered.

Jan Grossmann reported kernel boot panic while booting SMP
kernel on his system with a single core cpu. SMP kernels call
enable_IR_x2apic() from native_smp_prepare_cpus() and on
platforms where the kernel doesn't find SMP configuration we
ended up again calling enable_IR_x2apic() from the
APIC_init_uniprocessor() call in the smp_sanity_check(). Thus
leading to kernel panic.
Don't call enable_IR_x2apic() and default_setup_apic_routing()
from APIC_init_uniprocessor() in CONFIG_SMP case.
NOTE: this kind of non-idempotent and assymetric initialization
sequence is rather fragile and unclean, we'll clean that up
in v2.6.35. This is the minimal fix for v2.6.34.

When profiling a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, callgraph tracing
stopped after the first function, because it has seen a garbage memory
address (tried to interpret the frame pointer, and return address as a
64-bit pointer).
Fix this by using a struct stack_frame with 32-bit pointers when the
TIF_IA32 flag is set.
Note that TIF_IA32 flag must be used, and not is_compat_task(), because
the latter is only set when the 32-bit process is executing a syscall,
which may not always be the case (when tracing page fault events for
example).

Commit 3f6da39 ("perf: Rework and fix the arch CPU-hotplug hooks") moved
the amd northbridge allocation from CPUS_ONLINE to CPUS_PREPARE_UP
however amd_nb_id() doesn't work yet on prepare so it would simply bail
basically reverting to a state where we do not properly track node wide
constraints - causing weird perf results.
Fix up the AMD NorthBridge initialization code by allocating from
CPU_UP_PREPARE and installing it from CPU_STARTING once we have the
proper nb_id. It also properly deals with the allocation failing.

And we should reserve ibft as early as possible, instead of BOOTMEM

Move to just after find_smp_config().

We think there exists a bug in the HPET code that emulates the RTC.
In the normal case, when the RTC frequency is set, the rtc driver tells
the hpet code about it here:
int hpet_set_periodic_freq(unsigned long freq)
{
uint64_t clc;
if (!is_hpet_enabled())
return 0;
if (freq <= DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ)
hpet_pie_limit = DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ / freq;
else {
clc = (uint64_t) hpet_clockevent.mult * NSEC_PER_SEC;
do_div(clc, freq);
clc >>= hpet_clockevent.shift;
hpet_pie_delta = (unsigned long) clc;
}
return 1;
}
If freq is set to 64Hz (DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ) or lower, then
hpet_pie_limit (a static) is set to non-zero. Then, on every one-shot
HPET interrupt, hpet_rtc_timer_reinit is called to compute the next
timeout. Well, that function has this logic:
if (!(hpet_rtc_flags & RTC_PIE) || hpet_pie_limit)
delta = hpet_default_delta;
else
delta = hpet_pie_delta;
Since hpet_pie_limit is not 0, hpet_default_delta is used. That
corresponds to 64Hz.
Now, if you set a different rtc frequency, you'll take the else path
through hpet_set_periodic_freq, but unfortunately no one resets
hpet_pie_limit back to 0.
Boom....now you are stuck with 64Hz RTC interrupts forever.
The patch below just resets the hpet_pie_limit value when requested freq
is greater than DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ, which we think fixes this problem.

This is a chipset erratum.
Thomas: You mentioned we can retain this check only for known-buggy and
hpet debug kind of options. But here is the simple workaround patch for
this particular erratum.
Some chipsets have a erratum due to which read immediately following a
write of HPET comparator returns old comparator value instead of most
recently written value.
Erratum 15 in
"Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Specification Update"
(http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/specupdate/316973.pdf)
Workaround for the errata is to read the comparator twice if the first
one fails.

We found a system where the MP table MPC and MPF structures overlap.
That doesn't really matter because the mptable is not used anyways with ACPI,
but it leads to a panic in the early allocator due to the overlapping
reservations in 2.6.33.
Earlier kernels handled this without problems.
Simply change these reservations to reserve_early_overlap_ok to avoid
the panic.

Word copying is used only for aligned addresses.
Here is space for improving to use any better copying technique.
Look at memcpy implementation.
