1f6f61649d [PATCH] uml: include tidying
In order to get the __NR_* constants, we need sys/syscall.h.
linux/unistd.h works as well since it includes syscall.h, however syscall.h
is more parsimonious.  We were inconsistent in this, and this patch adds
syscall.h includes where necessary and removes linux/unistd.h includes
where they are not needed.

asm/unistd.h also includes the __NR_* constants, but these are not the
glibc-sanctioned ones, so this also removes one such inclusion.

53b173327d [PATCH] uml: fix I/O hang
Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened
- a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would
start up again as though nothing had happened.

The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be
executed in the order in the source.  When unblock_signals switches signals
from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the
critical section.  The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is
zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns.
unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be
delivered.

The crucial part is this:
	signals_enabled = 1;
	save_pending = pending;
	if(save_pending == 0)
		return;
	pending = 0;

In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting
it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased,
signals are enabled.

What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending'
came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within
which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be
immediately erased.

When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device
interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will
wait for the current one to finish.  Thus the system hangs until something
else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input.

The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling
signals and reading the pending signal mask.  An xchg would also probably
work.

Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more
things:

- make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached
  in registers

- add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so
  that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the
  caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

3ccfc65c50 [PATCH] powerpc: Eliminate "exceeds stub group size" linker warning
It turns out that the linker warnings on 64-bit powerpc about "section
blah exceeds stub group size" were being triggered by conditional
branches in head_64.S branching to global symbols, whether in
head_64.S or in other files.  This eliminates the warnings by making
some global symbols in head_64.S no longer global, and by rearranging
some branches.

f9dadfa71b i386: write IO APIC irq routing entries in correct order
Since the "mask" bit is in the low word, when we write a new entry, we
need to write the high word first, before we potentially unmask it.

The exception is when we actually want to mask the interrupt, in which
case we want to write the low word first to make sure that the high word
doesn't change while the interrupt routing is still active.

5d2efba64b [POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systems
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.

dd6c89f686 [POWERPC] Fix oprofile support for e500 in arch/powerpc
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

441cbd8dac [POWERPC] Fix various offb issues
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).

264b0f9930 [IA64] MCA recovery: Montecito support
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.

d8d7c28ec0 [PATCH] uml ubd driver: various little changes
Fix a small memory leak in ubd_config, and clearify the confusion which lead
to it.

Then, some little changes not affecting operations -
* move init functions together,
* add a comment about a potential problem in case of some evolution in the block layer,
* mark all initcalls as static __init functions
* mark an used once little function as inline
* document that mconsole methods are all called in process context (was
  triggered when checking ubd mconsole methods).

0bf16bffee [PATCH] uml ubd driver: do not store error codes as ->fd
To simplify error handling, make sure fd is saved into ubd_dev->fd only when
we are sure it is an fd and not an error code.

e7f6552f23 [PATCH] uml ubd driver: reformat ubd_config
Pure whitespace and style fixes split out from subsequent patch.  Some changes
(err -> ret) don't make sense now, only later, but I split them out anyway
since they cluttered the patch.

2fe30a34a1 [PATCH] uml ubd driver: convert do_ubd to a boolean variable
do_ubd is actually just a boolean variable - the way it is used currently is a
leftover from the old 2.4 block layer, but it is still used; its use is
suspicious, but removing it would be too intrusive for now and needs more
thinking.

33f775eea1 [PATCH] uml ubd driver: ubd_io_lock usage fixup
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.

d7fb2c3865 [PATCH] uml ubd driver: change ubd_lock to be a mutex
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.
