Ollie Wild b6a2fea393 mm: variable length argument support
Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.

We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space.  Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.

It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.

Fenghua Yu f34e3b61f2 use the new percpu interface for shared data
Currently most of the per cpu data, which is accessed by different cpus,
has a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute.  Move all this data to the
new per cpu shared data section: .data.percpu.shared_aligned.

This will seperate the percpu data which is referenced frequently by other
cpus from the local only percpu data.

Fenghua Yu 5fb7dc37dc define new percpu interface for shared data
per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.

One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.

This patch:

Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

Michael Ellerman 3d7e33825d jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for users
I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that
doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use.  This guy I know once
wrote code like this:

struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };

And then his kernel exploded. Oops.

This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.

We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

Mel Gorman ed7ed36517 handle kernelcore=: generic
This patch adds the kernelcore= parameter for x86.

Once all patches are applied, a new command-line parameter exist and a new
sysctl.  This patch adds the necessary documentation.

From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com>

  When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64
  because of an infinite loop.  In addition, the parsing code can be handled
  in an architecture-independent manner.

  This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter.  It is
  only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing
  (i.e.  define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP).  Other architectures will
  ignore the boot parameter.

Vasily Tarasov b716395e2b diskquota: 32bit quota tools on 64bit architectures
OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered the problem with 32bit quota tools
working on 64bit architectures.  In 2.6.10 kernel sys32_quotactl() function
was replaced by sys_quotactl() with the comment "sys_quotactl seems to be
32/64bit clean, enable it for 32bit" However this isn't right.  Look at
if_dqblk structure:

struct if_dqblk {
        __u64 dqb_bhardlimit;
        __u64 dqb_bsoftlimit;
        __u64 dqb_curspace;
        __u64 dqb_ihardlimit;
        __u64 dqb_isoftlimit;
        __u64 dqb_curinodes;
        __u64 dqb_btime;
        __u64 dqb_itime;
        __u32 dqb_valid;
};

For 32 bit quota tools sizeof(if_dqblk) == 0x44.
But for 64 bit kernel its size is 0x48, 'cause of alignment!
Thus we got a problem. Attached patch reintroduce sys32_quotactl() function,
that handles this and related situations.

Yinghai Lu 18a8bd949d serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250
Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h.  the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage.  the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time.  need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.

Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier.  Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.

new command line will be:
	console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
	earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8

it will print in very early stage:
	Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
	console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
	console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

Hidetoshi Seto 829a999625 [IA64] ar.itc access must really be after xtime_lock.sequence has been read
The ".acq" semantics of the load only apply w.r.t. other data access.
Reading the clock (ar.itc) isn't a data access so strange things can
happen here.  Specifically the read of ar.itc can be launched as soon
as the read of xtime_lock.sequence is ISSUED.  Since this may cache
miss, and that might cause a thread switch, and there may be cache
contention for the line containing xtime_lock, it may be a long time
before the actual value is returned, so the ar.itc value may be very
stale.

Move the consumption of r28 up before the read of ar.itc to make sure
that we really have got the current value of xtime_lock.sequence
before look at ar.itc.

Terry Loftin 51b58e3e26 [IA64] use machvec=dig on hpzx1 platforms
On HP zx1 machines, the 'machvec=dig' parameter is needed for the
kdump kernel to avoid problems with the HP sba iommu.  The problem
is that during the boot of the kdump kernel, the iommu is re-initialized,
so in-flight DMA from improperly shutdown drivers causes an IOTLB
miss which leads to an MCA.  With kdump, the idea is to get into the
kdump kernel with as little code as we can, so shutting down drivers
properly is not an option.

The workaround is to add 'machvec=dig' to the kdump kernel boot
parameters.  This makes the kdump kernel avoid using the sba iommu
altogether, leaving the IOTLB intact.  Any ongoing DMA falls
harmlessly outside the kdump kernel.  After the kdump kernel reboots,
all devices will have been shutdown properly and DMA stopped.

This patch pushes that functionality into the sba iommu
initialization code, so that users won't have to find the obscure
documentation telling them about 'machvec=dig'.

This patch only affects HP platforms.  It still includes one
extern declaration in the file, because no applicable header file
exists.

Russ Anderson 1612b18ccb [IA64] Support multiple CPUs going through OS_MCA
Linux does not gracefully deal with multiple processors going
through OS_MCA aa part of the same MCA event.  The first cpu
into OS_MCA grabs the ia64_mca_serialize lock.  Subsequent
cpus wait for that lock, preventing them from reporting in as
rendezvoused.  The first cpu waits 5 seconds then complains
that all the cpus have not rendezvoused.  The first cpu then
handles its MCA and frees up all the rendezvoused cpus and
releases the ia64_mca_serialize lock.  One of the subsequent
cpus going thought OS_MCA then gets the ia64_mca_serialize
lock, waits another 5 seconds and then complains that none of
the other cpus have rendezvoused.

This patch allows multiple CPUs to gracefully go through OS_MCA.

The first CPU into ia64_mca_handler() grabs a mca_count lock.
Subsequent CPUs into ia64_mca_handler() are added to a list of cpus
that need to go through OS_MCA (a bit set in mca_cpu), and report
in as rendezvoused, and but spin waiting their turn.

The first CPU sees everyone rendezvous, handles his MCA, wakes up
one of the other CPUs waiting to process their MCA (by clearing
one mca_cpu bit), and then waits for the other cpus to complete
their MCA handling.  The next CPU handles his MCA and the process
repeats until all the CPUs have handled their MCA.  When the last
CPU has handled it's MCA, it sets monarch_cpu to -1, releasing all
the CPUs.

In testing this works more reliably and faster.

to this code.

Alex Chiang 012b7105cc [IA64] prevent MCA when performing MMIO mmap to PCI config space
Example memory map (HP rx7640 with 'default' acpiconfig setting, VGA disabled):
   0x00000000 - 0x3FFFBFFF  supports only WB (cacheable) access

If a user attempts to perform an MMIO mmap (using the PCIIOC_MMAP_IS_MEM ioctl)
to PCI config space (like mmap'ing and accessing memory at 0xA0000),
we will MCA because the kernel will attempt to use a mapping with the UC
attribute.

So check the memory attribute in kern_mmap and the EFI memmap. If WC is
requested, and WC or UC access is supported for the region, allow it.
Otherwise, use the same attribute the kernel uses.

Updates documentation and test cases as well.

Ingo Molnar 0437e109e1 sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing code
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'

Jes Sorensen 1ee27a4eed [IA64] Make SN2 PCI code use ioremap rather than manually mangle the address
This one changes the SN2 specific PCI drivers to use ioremap() for
obtaining the real address to access for the PCI registers instead of
manually calculating them with __IA64_UNCACHED_OFFSET.

The patch should have no real change when running on a normal Linux
kernel, but when running as a paravirtualized it is needed.

Both rp_loc and pfs_loc can be in the register stack area _or_ they can
be in the memory stack area, the latter occurs when a struct pt_regs is
pushed.  Correct the validation check on these fields to check for both
stack areas.  Not allowing for memory stack locations means no

Tony Luck d57c4a3892 [IA64] acpi_get_sysname() should be __init
Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:acpi_find_rsdp
 (between 'acpi_get_sysname' and 'acpi_request_vector')

acpi_get_sysname() needs to call the __init function acpi_find_rsdp, but it
doesn't have the __init attribute itself, hence the warning. Luckily it is
only called from machvec_init() which has __init attribute, so the fix
is to define acpi_get_sysname() as __init too.

Unwinding a running task has proven problematic.

In one instance, the running task was attempting to unwind itself and
received an interrupt between when get_wchan allocated local variables on
the stack and when unw_init_from_blocked_task was called which resulted
in unw_init_frame_info to place this tasks task_struct pointer over the
switch stack's ar_bspstore entry.

Jay Lan 311f594dec [IA64] kdump on INIT needs multi-nodes sync-up (v.2)
The current implementation of kdump on INIT events would enter
kdump processing on DIE_INIT_MONARCH_ENTER and DIE_INIT_SLAVE_ENTER
events. Thus, the monarch cpu would go ahead and boot up the kdump

On SN shub2 systems, this out-of-sync situation causes some slave
cpus on different nodes to enter POD.

This patch moves kdump entry points to DIE_INIT_MONARCH_LEAVE and
DIE_INIT_SLAVE_LEAVE. It also sets kdump_in_progress variable in
the DIE_INIT_MONARCH_PROCESS event to not dump all active stack
traces to the console in the case of kdump.

I have tested this patch on an SN machine and a HP RX2600.

Anil S Keshavamurthy cdc7dbdfe6 [IA64] fix Kprobes reentrancy
In case of reentrance i.e when a probe handler calls a functions which
inturn has a probe, we save a previous kprobe information and just single
step the reentrant probe without calling the actual probe handler.  During
this reentracy period, if an interrupt occurs and if probe happens to
trigger in the inturrupt path, then we were corrupting the previous kprobe(
as we were overriding the previous kprobe info) info their by crashing the
system.  This patch fixes this issues by having a an array of previous
kprobe info struct(with the array size of 2).

This similar technique is not needed on i386 and x86_64 because by default
interrupts are turn off in the break/int3 exception handler.
