The firmware_features field of struct cpu_spec should really be a separate
variable as the firmware features do not depend on the chip and the
bitmask is constructed independently. By removing it, we save 112 bytes
from the cpu_specs array and we access the bitmask directly instead of via
the cur_cpu_spec pointer.

The ppc64 head.S defines several zero-initialized structures, such as
the empty_zero_page and the kernel top-level pagetable. Currently
they are defined to be in the data section. However, they're not used
until after the bss is cleared, so this patch moves them to the bss,
saving two and a half pages from the vmlinux.

arch/ppc64/kernel/head.S #defines SECONDARY_PROCESSORS then has some
#ifdefs based on it. Whatever purpose this had is long lost, this
patch removes it.
Likewise, head.S defines H_SET_ASR, which is now defined, along with
other hypervisor call numbers in hvcall.h. This patch deletes it, as
well, from head.S.

An #if/#else construct near the top of ppc64's head.S appears to
create overlapping sections of code for iSeries and pSeries (i.e. one
thing on iSeries and something different in the same place on
pSeries). In fact, checking the various absolute offsets, it doesn't.
This patch unravels the #ifdefs to make it more obvious what's going
on. This accomplishes another microstep towards a single kernel image
which can boot both iSeries and pSeries.

As well as the interrupt vectors and initialization code, head.S
contains several asm functions which are used during runtime. This
patch moves these to misc.S, a more sensible location for random asm

disable_kernel_fp
giveup_fpu
disable_kernel_altivec
giveup_altivec

On ppc64 machines with segment tables, CPU0's segment table is at a
fixed address, currently 0x9000. This patch moves it to the free
space at 0x6000, just below the fwnmi data area. This saves 8k of
space in vmlinux and the runtime kernel image.

In the ppc64 kernel head.S there is currently quite a lot of unused
space between the naca (at fixed address 0x4000) and the fwnmi data
area (at fixed address 0x7000). This patch moves various exception
vectors and support code into this region to use the wasted space.
The functions load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec are moved down as well,
since they are essentially continuations of the fp_unavailable_common
and altivec_unavailable_common vectors, respectively.
Likewise, the fwnmi vectors themselves are moved down into this area,
because while the location of the fwnmi data area is fixed by the RPA,
the vectors themselves can be anywhere sufficiently low.

Comments in head.S suggest that the iSeries naca has a fixed address,
because tools expect to find it there. The only tool which appears to
access the naca is addRamDisk, but both the in-kernel version and the
version used in RHEL and SuSE in fact locate the NACA the same way as
the hypervisor does, by following the pointer in the hvReleaseData
structure.
Since the requirement for a fixed address seems to be obsolete, this
patch removes the naca from head.S and replaces it with a normal C
initializer.
For good measure, it removes an old version of addRamDisk.c which was
sitting, unused, in the ppc32 tree.

arch/ppc64/Kconfig defines a "General setup" menu, but also sources
init/Kconfig which also defines a "General setup" menu. Both of these
menus appear at the top level of make menuconfig. Having two menus with
the same name is confusing. This patch renames the ppc64/Kconfig menu to
be "Bus Options" and moves options in this menu which are not bus related
to the end of the "Platform support" menu.
There are many variations among architectures on the exact naming of the
"Bus Options" menu. I chose to use the simplest one, which is also used
in arch/ppc/Kconfig.

Implement 4-level pagetables for ppc64
This patch implements full four-level page tables for ppc64, thereby
extending the usable user address range to 44 bits (16T).
The patch uses a full page for the tables at the bottom and top level,
and a quarter page for the intermediate levels. It uses full 64-bit
pointers at every level, thus also increasing the addressable range of
physical memory. This patch also tweaks the VSID allocation to allow
matching range for user addresses (this halves the number of available
contexts) and adds some #if and BUILD_BUG sanity checks.

Make the bootheader for ppc64 independent from kernel and libc headers.
* add -nostdinc -isystem $gccincludes to not include libc headers
* declare all functions in header files, also the stuff from string.S
* declare some functions static
* use stddef.h to get size_t (hopefully ok)
* remove ppc32-types.h, only elf.h used the __NN types

[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ]
I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race
between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in
vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL.
What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into
con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to
tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process
B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears
tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A
can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the
down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626).
So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2,
as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called.
Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the
process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses.
The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data
rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of
tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of
tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a
situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then
con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because
tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch
eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't
oops.

I know that scsi procfs is legacy code but this is a fix for a memory leak.
While reading through sg.c I realized that the implementation of
/proc/scsi/sg/devices with seq_file is leaking memory due to freeing the
pointer returned by the next() iterator method. Since next() might return
NULL or an error this is wrong. This patch fixes it through using the
seq_files private field for holding the reference to the iterator object.
Here is a small bash script to trigger the leak. Use slabtop to watch
the size-32 usage grow and grow.
#!/bin/sh
while true; do
cat /proc/scsi/sg/devices > /dev/null

- copy_from_user() can fail; ->write() must check its return value.
- severe buffer overruns both in ->read() and ->write() - lseek to the
end (i.e. to mmapper_size) and
if (count + *ppos > mmapper_size)
count = count + *ppos - mmapper_size;
will do absolutely nothing. Then it will call
copy_to_user(buf,&v_buf[*ppos],count);
with obvious results (similar for ->write()).
Fixed by turning read to simple_read_from_buffer() and by doing
normal limiting of count in ->write().
- gratitious lock_kernel() in ->mmap() - it's useless there.
- lots of gratuitous includes.

Don't check type of sax25_family; dev_set_mac_address has already done
that before and anyway, the type to check against would have been
ARPHRD_AX25. We only got away because AF_AX25 and ARPHRD_AX25 both happen
to be defined to the same value.
Don't check sax25_ndigis either; it's value is insignificant for the
purpose of setting the MAC address and the check has shown to break

The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without
ever having been made completely visible. In SCSI this is triggered by
removing a device while it's initialising.
The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs,
the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made
to it. The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was
never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL.
(akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems. May not be the
long-term fix)

Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64.
This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it
overestimates the number of available RAM in a node. In extreme cases you
can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks
and other nasty behaviour.
This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820. Reserved
(like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that
should be only a few percent error now.
Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now
too because it offers more flexibility.
