Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and
maximum number of pdflush threads. This allows finer control of pdflush
on both large and small machines.
The rationale is simply one size does not fit all. Admins on large and/or
small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best
suit their needs. Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8. While
probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large
numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit
from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices.
Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is
still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still
desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the
kernel.
The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and
'/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions.
The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is
the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max. This minimum is required
since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself.
The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of
nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000.
Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

Fix a race on creating pdflush threads. Without the patch, it is possible
to create more than MAX_PDFLUSH_THREADS threads, and this has been
observed in practice on IO loaded SMP machines.
The fix involves moving the lock around to protect the check against the
thread count and correctly dealing with thread creation failure.
This fix also _mostly_ repairs a race condition on how quickly the threads
are created. The original intent was to create a pdflush thread (up to
the max allowed) every second. Without this patch is is possible to
create NCPUS pdflush threads concurrently. The 'mostly' caveat is because
an assumption is made that thread creation will be successful. If we fail
to create the thread, the miss is not considered fatal. (we will try
again in 1 second)

This reverts commit 9cb610d8e35fe3ec95a2fe2030b02f85aeea83c1.
This was an impressively stupid patch. Firstly, we reset the SHF_ALLOC
flag lower down in the same function, so the patch was useless. Even
better, find_sec() ignores sections with SHF_ALLOC not set, so
it breaks CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y with CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD=n, which
refuses to load the module since it can't find the __versions section.

This fixes a problem reported by Sean MacLennan where loading any
module would cause an oops. We weren't marking the pages containing
the module text as having hardware execute permission, due to a bug
introduced in commit 8d1cf34e ("powerpc/mm: Tweak PTE bit combination
definitions"), hence trying to execute the module text caused an
exception on processors that support hardware execute permission.
This adds _PAGE_HWEXEC to the definitions of PAGE_KERNEL_X and
PAGE_KERNEL_ROX to fix this problem.

The ptrace compat wrapper mishandles access to the fpu registers. The
PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR requests miscalculate the index into
the fpr array due to the broken FPINDEX macro. The
PPC_PTRACE_PEEKUSR_3264 request needs to use the same formula that the
native ptrace interface uses when operating on the register number (as
opposed to the 4-byte offset). The PPC_PTRACE_POKEUSR_3264 request
didn't take TS_FPRWIDTH into account.

The irq remapping layer seems to cause some confusion when people
see a different irq number in /proc/interrupts vs the one they
request in their driver or DTS.
So have the irq remapping layer print out a message when we map an
irq. The message is only printed the first time the irq is mapped,
and it's KERN_DEBUG so most people won't see it.

When we call giveup_fpu, we need to need to turn off VSX for the
current process. If we don't, on return to userspace it may execute a
VSX instruction before the next FP instruction, and not have its
register state refreshed correctly from the thread_struct. Ditto for
altivec.
This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs results in
fix_alignment calling giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs (in order to
do a single <-> double conversion), and then returning to userspace
with FP off but VSX on. Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before
another FP instruction, it will proceed without another exception and
hence have the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31.
lfs unaligned <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on
VSX instruction <- no exception since VSX on, hence we get the
wrong VSX register values for VSX registers 0-31,
which overlap the FPRs.

The (relatively) new pmac_zilog driver doesn't use the pre-munged
IRQ numbers from the macio_dev unlike other macio things, it
directly maps it off the OF device-tree.
It does that because it can be initialized much earlier than the
registration of the macio devices, in order to get a serial
console early.
Unfortunately, that means that it "misses" some fixups done
by the macio layer to work around missing interrupt descriptions
in the device-tree of the Wallstreet machines.
This patch brings the necessary workaround into the pmac_zilog
driver itself to bring it back to working condition.

The buffer passed to the ibm,get-system-parameter RTAS call must be
in the RMA. To ensure we pass an address in the RMA use rtas_data_buf
for the actual RTAS call and then copy the result to value. We can't
just make it static because this can be compiled in as a module.
Also add the WDRTAS_SP_SPI_LEN so we don't litter '4' throughout the
function.
