The alignment exception used to only check the exception table for
-EFAULT, not for other errors. That opens an oops window if we can
coerce the kernel into getting an alignment exception for other reasons
in what would normally be a user-protected accessor, which can be done
via some of the futex ops. This fixes it by always checking the
exception tables.

On powerpc, probing on emulate_step function will crash 2.6.18.1 when
it is triggered.
When kprobe is triggered, emulate_step() is on its kernel path and
will cause recursive kprobe fault. And branch_taken() is called
in emulate_step(). This disallows kprobes on both of them.

If mmiowb() is always used prior to releasing spinlock as Doc suggests,
then it's safe against preemption; but I'm not convinced that's always
the case. If preemption occurs between sync and get_paca()->io_sync = 0,
I believe there's no problem. But in the unlikely event that gcc does
the store relative to another register than r13 (as it did with current),
then there's a small danger of setting another cpu's io_sync to 0, after
it had just set it to 1. Rewrite ppc64 mmiowb to prevent that.
The remaining io_sync assignments in io.h all get_paca()->io_sync = 1,
which is harmless even if preempted to the wrong cpu (the context switch
itself syncs); and those in spinlock.h are while preemption is disabled.

Checking source for other get_paca()->field preemption dangers found that
open_high_hpage_areas does a structure copy into its paca while preemption
is enabled: unsafe however gcc accomplishes it. Just remove that copy:
it's done safely afterwards by on_each_cpu, as in open_low_hpage_areas.

Repeated -j20 kernel builds on a G5 Quad running an SMP PREEMPT kernel
would often collapse within a day, some exec failing with "Bad address".
In each case examined, load_elf_binary was doing a kernel_read, but
generic_file_aio_read's access_ok saw current->thread.fs.seg as USER_DS
instead of KERNEL_DS.
objdump of filemap.o shows gcc 4.1.0 emitting "mr r5,r13 ... ld r9,416(r5)"
here for get_paca()->__current, instead of the expected and much more usual
"ld r9,416(r13)"; I've seen other gcc4s do the same, but perhaps not gcc3s.
So, if the task is preempted and rescheduled on a different cpu in between
the mr and the ld, r5 will be looking at a different paca_struct from the
one it's now on, pick up the wrong __current, and perhaps the wrong seg.
Presumably much worse could happen elsewhere, though that split is rare.
Other architectures appear to be safe (x86_64's read_pda is more limiting
than get_paca), but ppc64 needs to force "current" into one instruction.

The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew
up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by
numerous error messages:
iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1
Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because
one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when
the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to
exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card.
This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own
unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its
actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE
and then uses this in all the places that matter.
As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance
on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since
we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW
is still 4k).
In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable
in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW
page sizes in the iommu itself.

Fixed a compile error in building the 85xx support with oprofile, and in
the process cleaned up some issues with the fsl_booke performance monitor
code.
* Reorganized FSL Book-E performance monitoring code so that the 7450
wouldn't be built if the e500 was, and cleaned it up so it was more
self-contained.
* Added a cpu_setup function for FSL Book-E. The original
cpu_setup function prototype had no arguments, assuming that
the reg_setup function would copy the required information into
variables which represented the registers. This was silly for
e500, since it has 1 register per counter (rather than 3 for
all counters), so the code has been restructured to have
cpu_setup take the current counter config array as an argument,
with op_powerpc_setup() invoking op_powerpc_cpu_setup() through
on_each_cpu(), and op_powerpc_cpu_setup() invoking the
model-specific cpu_setup function with an argument. The
argument is ignored on all other platforms at present.
* Fixed a confusing line where a trinary operator only had two
arguments

This patch fixes a few issues in offb:
- A test was inverted causing the palette hack to never work
(no device node was passed down to the init function)
- Some cards seem to have their assigned-addresses property in a random
order, thus we need to try using of_get_pci_address() first, which will
fail if it's not a PCI device, and fallback to of_get_address() in that
case. of_get_pci_address() properly parsees assigned-addresses to test
the BAR number and thus will get it right whatever the order is.
- Some cards (like GXT4500) provide a linebytes of 0xffffffff in the
device-tree which does no good. This patch handles that by using the
screen width when that happens. (Also fixes btext.c while at it).
- Add detection of the GXT4500 in addition to the GXT2000 for the
palette hacks (we use the same hack, palette is linear in register space
at offset 0x6000).

The information in MCA records is filled in slightly differently on
Montecito than on Madison/McKinley. Usually, the cache check and bus
check target identifiers have the same address. On Montecito the
cache check and bus check target identifiers can be different if
a corrected error (ie SBE or unconsumed poison data) was encountered and
then an uncorrected error (ie DBE) was consumed. In that case, the
cache check target identifier is the physical address of the DBE (that
caused the MCA to surface) while the bus check target identifier is the
physical address of the SBE. This patch correctly finds the target
identifier that triggered the MCA.
If there are multiple valid cache target identifiers in the same
error record then use the one with the lowest cache level.

Add some comments about requirements for ubd_io_lock and expand its use.
When an irq signals that the "controller" (i.e. another thread on the host,
which does the actual requests and is the only one blocked on I/O on the host)
has done some work, we call again the request function ourselves
(do_ubd_request).
We now do that with ubd_io_lock held - that's useful to protect against
concurrent calls to elv_next_request and so on.
XXX: Maybe we shouldn't call at all the request function. Input needed on
this. Are we supposed to plug and unplug the queue? That code "indirectly"
does that by setting a flag, called do_ubd, which makes the request function
return (it's a residual of 2.4 block layer interface).
Meanwhile, however, merge this patch, which improves things.

This lock protects ubd setup and teardown, so is only used in process context;
beyond that, during such setup memory allocations must be performed and some
generic functions which can sleep must be called (such as add_disk()). So the
only correct solution is to make it a mutex instead of a spin_lock. No other
change is done - this lock must be acquired in different places but it's done
afterwards.
