There is a potential bug in __lmb_alloc_base where we subtract `size'
from the base address of a reserved region without checking whether
the subtraction could wrap around and produce a very large unsigned
value. In fact it probably isn't possible to hit the bug in practice
since it would only occur in the situation where we can't satisfy the
allocation request and there is a reserved region starting at 0.
This fixes the potential bug by breaking out of the loop when we get
to the point where the base of the reserved region is less than the
size requested. This also restructures the loop to be a bit easier to
follow.
The same logic got copied into lmb_alloc_nid_unreserved, so this makes
a similar change there. Here the bug is more likely to be hit because
the outer loop (in lmb_alloc_nid) goes through the memory regions in
increasing order rather than decreasing order as __lmb_alloc_base
does, and we are therefore more likely to hit the case where we are
testing against a reserved region with a base address of 0.

This makes no semantic changes. It fixes the whitespace and formatting
a bit, gets rid of a local DBG macro and uses the equivalent pr_debug
instead, and restructures one while loop that had a function call and
assignment in the condition to be a bit more readable. Some comments
about functions being called with relocation disabled were also removed
as they would just be confusing to most readers now that the code is
in lib/.

A variant of lmb_alloc() that tries to allocate memory on a specified
NUMA node 'nid' but falls back to normal lmb_alloc() if that fails.
The caller provides a 'nid_range' function pointer which assists the
allocator. It is given args 'start', 'end', and pointer to integer
'this_nid'.
It places at 'this_nid' the NUMA node id that corresponds to 'start',
and returns the end address within 'start' to 'end' at which memory
assosciated with 'nid' ends.
This callback allows a platform to use lmb_alloc_nid() in just
about any context, even ones in which early_pfn_to_nid() might
not be working yet.
This function will be used by the NUMA setup code on sparc64, and also
it can be used by powerpc, replacing it's hand crafted
"careful_allocation()" function in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c
If x86 ever converts it's NUMA support over to using the LMB helpers,
it can use this too as it has something entirely similar.

The iSeries HV only needs the first two fields of the paca statically
initialised, so create an alternate paca that contains only those and
switch to our real paca immediately after boot.

The mv643xx_eth driver is being modified to support multiple instances
of the ethernet silicon block on the same platform. Each block contains
a single register bank containing the registers for up to three ports
interleaved within that bank. This patch updates the PowerPC OF to
platform_device glue code to support multiple silicon blocks, each
with up to three ethernet ports. The main difference is that we now
allow multiple mv64x60_shared platform_devices to be registered and
we provide each port platform_device with a pointer to its associated
shared platform_device. The pointer will not be used until the
mv643xx_eth driver changes are committed.

If an SLB miss interrupt happens while the RI bit of MSR is zero, we
can't just return, because RI being zero indicates that SRR0/SRR1
potentially had live values in them, and the process of taking an
interrupt overwrites them.
This should never happen, but if it does, we try to print a nice oops
message. That doesn't work, however, because the code at unrecov_slb
assumes that the MMU has been turned on, but we call it with the MMU
off (and have done so since the SLB miss handler was rewritten to run
without turning the MMU on) -- except on iSeries, where everything runs
with the MMU on.
This fixes it by adding the necessary code to turn the MMU on if
necessary.

Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit. We currently use an unsigned
char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol. This patch changes that to
an unsigned int.
Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in
isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS
interfaces use a one-byte device node number.
But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have. Large HP
Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char
number" to wrap around. This causes errors like this:
pnp: PnP ACPI init
kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

[<a0000001007f2810>] pnpacpi_add_device_handler+0x50/0x80
This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem. It should not
have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still
enforced in the backends.

Currently this ID isn't really needed since a hierarchy can be completely

merging/rebinding of subsystems. Getting this change into 2.6.25 reduces the

It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully
be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the
low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big
honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros.
I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding
to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his
prettier syntax that uses vararg macros). Thus the previous two commits
that actually implement it.

Use asmlinkage_protect in sys_io_getevents, because GCC for i386 with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n can decide to clobber an argument word on the
stack, i.e. the user struct pt_regs. Here the problem is not a tail
call, but just the compiler's use of the stack when it inlines and
optimizes the body of the called function. This seems to avoid it.

The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.
Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.
More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

The bug was causing once-in-few-reboots 10-15 sec wait during boot on
certain laptops.
Earlier commit 40d6a146629b98d8e322b6f9332b182c7cbff3df added
smp_call_function in cpu_idle_wait() to kick cpus that are in tickless
idle. Looking at cpu_idle_wait code at that time, code seemed to be
over-engineered for a case which is rarely used (while changing idle
handler).
Below is a simplified version of cpu_idle_wait, which just makes a dummy
smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler
and start using the new idle handler. It eliminates code in the idle
loop to handle cpu_idle_wait.
