APUS (the Amiga Power-Up System) is not supported under arch/powerpc
and it's unlikely it ever will be. Therefore, this patch removes the
fragments of APUS support code from arch/powerpc which have been
copied from arch/ppc.
A few APUS references are left in asm-powerpc in .h files which are
still used from arch/ppc.

arch/powerpc still relies on asm-ppc/mmu.h for most 32-bit MMU types.
This is another step towards fixing this. It takes the portions
of asm-ppc/mmu.h related to the "classic" 32-bit hash page table MMU
which are still relevant in arch/powerpc and puts them in a new
asm-powerpc/mmu-hash32.h, included when appropriate from
asm-powerpc/mmu.h.

Currently, all OF-related code in the bootloader is contained in of.c.
of.c also provides the platform specific things necessary to boot on
an OF platform.
However, there are platforms (such as PReP) which can include an OF
implementation, but are not bootable as pure OF systems. For use by
such platforms, this patch splits out the low-level parts of the OF
code (call_prom() and various wrappers thereof) into a new oflib.c
file. In addition, the code related to bootwrapper console output via
OF are moved to a new ofconsole.c file. Both these files are included
in the wrapper.a library where they can be used by both full-OF and
partial OF platforms.

A lot of the options in arch/powerpc/Kconfig deal with the CPU menu,
and my next patches add more to them. Moving them to a new
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype file makes it easier to
follow.
There are no functional changes in here.

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
condition.
Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a
bad state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for
the application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very
obvious that something has gone wrong.
This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather than
just the one thread.

A Power6 can give up CPU cycles on a dedicated CPU (as opposed to a
shared CPU) to other shared processors if the administrator asks for it
(via the HMC).
This enables that to work properly on P6.
This just involves setting a bit in the CAS structure as well as the
VPA. To donate cycles, a CPU has to have all SMT threads idle and
have the donate bit set in the VPA. Then call H_CEDE.
The reason why shared processors just aren't used is because dedicated
CPUs are guaranteed an actual processor, yet the system is still able to
increase the capacity of the shared CPU pool.
Also rename the VPA's cpuctls_task_attrs field to a more accurate name.

The code for creating signal frames was still duplicated and split
in strange ways between 32 and 64 bits, including the SA_ONSTACK
handling being in do_signal on 32 bits but inside handle_rt_signal
on 64 bits etc...
This moves the 64 bits get_sigframe() to the generic signal.c,
cleans it a bit, moves the access_ok() call done by all callers to
it as well, and adapts/cleanups the 3 different signal handling cases
to use that common function.

do_signal has exactly the same behaviour on 32bit and 64bit and 32bit
compat on 64bit for handling 32bit signals. Consolidate all these
into one common function in signal.c. The only odd left over is
the try_to_free in the 32bit version that no other architecture has
in mainline (only in i386 for some odd SuSE release). We should
probably get rid of it in a separate patch.

sys_sigaltstack is the same on 32bit and 64 and we can consolidate it
to signal.c. The only difference is that the 32bit code uses ints
for the unused register paramaters and 64bit unsigned long. I've
changed it to unsigned long because it's the same width on 32bit.
(I also wonder who came up with this awkward calling convention.. :))

This patch moves the code in signal_32.c and signal_64.c for handling
syscall restart into a common signal.c file and converge around a single
implementation that is based on the 32 bits one, using trap, ccr
and r3 rather than the special "result" field for deciding what to do.
The "result" field is now pretty much deprecated. We still set it for
the sake of whatever might rely on it in userland but we no longer use
it's content.
This, along with a previous patch that enables ptracers to write to
"trap" and "orig_r3" should allow gdb to properly handle syscall
restarting.

This patch removes the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC64 around setting the DABR.
The actual setting of the SPR inside of the set_dabr() function is dependent
on CONFIG_PPC64 || CONFIG_6xx but you can always provide a ppc_md hook to
override that. We should improve support for different HW breakpoints
facilities but this is a first step.

One of the gratuitous difference between 32 and 64-bit ptrace is
whether you can whack the MSR:FE0 and FE1 bits from ptrace. This
patch forbids it unconditionally. In addition, the 64-bit kernels
used to return the exception mode in the MSR on reads, but 32-bit
kernels didn't. This patch makes it return those bits on both.
Finally, since ptrace-ppc32.h and ptrace-ppc64.h are mostly empty now, and
since the previous patch made ptrace32.c no longer need the MSR_DEBUGCHANGE
definition, we just remove those 2 files and move back the remaining bits
to ptrace.c (they were short lived heh ?).

This patch allows a ptracer to write to the "trap" and "orig_r3" words
of the pt_regs.
This, along with a subsequent patch to the signal restart code, should
enable gdb to properly handle syscall restarting after executing a separate
function (at least when there's no restart block).
This patch also removes ptrace32.c code toying directly with the registers
and makes it use the ptrace_get/put_reg() accessors for everything so that
the logic for checking what is permitted is in only one place.

The powerpc ptrace interface is dodgy at best. We have defined our
"own" versions of GETREGS/SETREGS/GETFPREGS/SETFPREGS that strangely
take arguments in reverse order from other archs (in addition to having
different request numbers) and have subtle issue, like not accessing
all of the registers in their respective categories.
This patch moves the implementation of those to a separate function
in order to facilitate their deprecation in the future, and provides
new ptrace requests that mirror the x86 and sparc ones and use the
same numbers:
PTRACE_GETREGS : returns an entire pt_regs (the whole thing,
not only the 32 GPRs, though that doesn't
include the FPRs etc... There's a compat version
for 32 bits that returns a 32 bits compatible
pt_regs (44 uints)
PTRACE_SETREGS : sets an entire pt_regs (the whole thing,
not only the 32 GPRs, though that doesn't
include the FPRs etc... Some registers cannot be
written to and will just be dropped, this is the
same as with POKEUSR, that is anything above MQ
on 32 bits and CCR on 64 bits. There is a compat
version as well.
PTRACE_GETFPREGS : returns all the FP registers -including- the FPSCR
that is 33 doubles (regardless of 32/64 bits)
PTRACE_SETFPREGS : sets all the FP registers -including- the FPSCR
that is 33 doubles (regardless of 32/64 bits)
And two that only exist on 64 bits kernels:
PTRACE_GETREGS64 : Same as PTRACE_GETREGS, except there is no compat
function, a 32 bits process will obtain the full 64
bits registers
PTRACE_SETREGS64 : Same as PTRACE_SETREGS, except there is no compat
function, a 32 bits process will set the full 64
bits registers
The two later ones makes things easier to have a 32 bits debugger on a
64 bits program (or on a 32 bits program that uses the full 64 bits of
the GPRs, which is possible though has issues that will be fixed in a
later patch).
Finally, while at it, the patch removes a whole bunch of code duplication
between ptrace32.c and ptrace.c, in large part by having the former call
into the later for all requests that don't need any special "compat"
treatment.

The powerpc ptrace code has some weirdness, like a ptrace-common.h file that
is actually ppc64 only and some of the 32 bits code ifdef'ed inside ptrace.c.
There are also separate implementations for things like get/set_vrregs for
32 and 64 bits which is totally unnecessary.
This patch cleans that up a bit by having a ptrace-common.h which contains
really common code (and makes a lot more code common), and ptrace-ppc32.h and
ptrace-ppc64.h files that contain the few remaining different bits.

This rewrites pretty much from scratch the handling of MMIO and PIO
space allocations on powerpc64. The main goals are:
- Get rid of imalloc and use more common code where possible
- Simplify the current mess so that PIO space is allocated and
mapped in a single place for PCI bridges
- Handle allocation constraints of PIO for all bridges including
hot plugged ones within the 2GB space reserved for IO ports,
so that devices on hotplugged busses will now work with drivers
that assume IO ports fit in an int.
- Cleanup and separate tracking of the ISA space in the reserved
low 64K of IO space. No ISA -> Nothing mapped there.
I booted a cell blade with IDE on PIO and MMIO and a dual G5 so
far, that's it :-)
With this patch, all allocations are done using the code in
mm/vmalloc.c, though we use the low level __get_vm_area with
explicit start/stop constraints in order to manage separate
areas for vmalloc/vmap, ioremap, and PCI IOs.
This greatly simplifies a lot of things, as you can see in the
diffstat of that patch :-)
A new pair of functions pcibios_map/unmap_io_space() now replace
all of the previous code that used to manipulate PCI IOs space.
The allocation is done at mapping time, which is now called from
scan_phb's, just before the devices are probed (instead of after,
which is by itself a bug fix). The only other caller is the PCI
hotplug code for hot adding PCI-PCI bridges (slots).
imalloc is gone, as is the "sub-allocation" thing, but I do beleive
that hotplug should still work in the sense that the space allocation
is always done by the PHB, but if you unmap a child bus of this PHB
(which seems to be possible), then the code should properly tear
down all the HPTE mappings for that area of the PHB allocated IO space.
I now always reserve the first 64K of IO space for the bridge with
the ISA bus on it. I have moved the code for tracking ISA in a separate
file which should also make it smarter if we ever are capable of
hot unplugging or re-plugging an ISA bridge.
This should have a side effect on platforms like powermac where VGA IOs
will no longer work. This is done on purpose though as they would have
worked semi-randomly before. The idea at this point is to isolate drivers
that might need to access those and fix them by providing a proper
function to obtain an offset to the legacy IOs of a given bus.

This makes unmap_vm_area static and a wrapper around a new
exported unmap_kernel_range that takes an explicit range instead
of a vm_area struct.
This makes it more versatile for code that wants to play with kernel
page tables outside of the standard vmalloc area.
(One example is some rework of the PowerPC PCI IO space mapping
code that depends on that patch and removes some code duplication
and horrible abuse of forged struct vm_struct).

Previously, registering this early console would just result

However, commit 69331af79cf29e26d1231152a172a1a10c2df511
clears the CON_PRINTBUFFER flag on the main console when a
CON_BOOT (early) console has been registered, resulting in
the buffered messages never being displayed to the user.
This fixes the problem by making sure we don't register udbg_console

The per-cpu area(a) for the secondary CPU(s) isn't getting allocated
on old SMP powermacs that don't have the secondary CPU(s) listed in
the device tree, as per-cpu areas are now only allocated for CPUs in
the cpu_possible_map, and we aren't setting the bits for the secondary
CPU(s) until smp_prepare_cpus(), which is after per-cpu allocation.
Therefore this sets the bits for CPUs 1..3 in cpu_possible_map in
pmac_setup_arch, so they get per-cpu data allocated.

Allowing attribute and symlink dentries to be reclaimed means
sd->s_dentry can change dynamically. However, updates to the field
are unsynchronized leading to race conditions. This patch adds
sysfs_lock and use it to synchronize updates to sd->s_dentry.
Due to the locking around ->d_iput, the check in sysfs_drop_dentry()
is complex. sysfs_lock only protect sd->s_dentry pointer itself. The
validity of the dentry is protected by dcache_lock, so whether dentry
is alive or not can only be tested while holding both locks.
This is minimal backport of sysfs_drop_dentry() rewrite in devel
branch.

For regular files in sysfs, sysfs_readdir wants to traverse
sysfs_dirent->s_dentry->d_inode->i_ino to get to the inode number.
But, the dentry can be reclaimed under memory pressure, and there is
no synchronization with readdir. This patch follows Tejun's scheme of
allocating and storing an inode number in the new s_ino member of a
sysfs_dirent, when dirents are created, and retrieving it from there
for readdir, so that the pointer chain doesn't have to be traversed.
Tejun's upstream patch uses a new-ish "ida" allocator which brings
along some extra complexity; this -stable patch has a brain-dead
incrementing counter which does not guarantee uniqueness, but because
sysfs doesn't hash inodes as iunique expects, uniqueness wasn't
guaranteed today anyway.
