This patch adds the ftrace debugging functionality to the parisc kernel.
It will currently only work with 64bit kernels, because the gcc options -pg
and -ffunction-sections can't be enabled at the same time and -ffunction-sections
is still needed to be able to link 32bit kernels.

Introduce new convert_for_tlb_insert20 macro and use it to replace assembler
statements with hardcoded constants.
This change allows the parisc64 kernel to boot with 16kb default kernel page size,
aka CONFIG_PARISC_PAGE_SIZE_16KB=y.

It'd be rather useful for debian-installer if we could get hold of
accurate firmware information on whether only 32-bit kernels are
supported, only 64-bit kernels, or both; this would allow us to present
an accurate menu of kernel packages if more than one is available,
rather than the user having to guess. This patch attempts to expose it
in cpuinfo.
I adjusted pdc_model_capabilities to cope with a potential
PDC_INVALID_ARG return as the firmware manual instructs, by assuming
32-bit only. This may be the wrong place for it.
I made up user-visible capability names by total fiat and for the moment
ignored the other bits that may appear in the capabilities word.
I have no PA-RISC machine myself to test on, and no PA experience
either, so I rather hope that somebody will kind-heartedly take this and
fix it up if needed. I ran it past Dann Frazier on IRC and he said
"looks good to me", but I think without testing.
Also, this is against the Ubuntu 2.6.28 kernel tree since that's what I
had handy and I was a bit tight on disk space to slurp down another
tree. Sorry if it's skewed in any relevant way; I'll be happy to adjust
if necessary.
Thanks in advance!

A few small fixups:
* _PAGE_SIZE_ENCODING_DEFAULT is wrong here, as one might assume that
it's possible to define the page size that way. This is wrong. Use 0 instead.
* use constants instead of hardcoded numerical values in depi and extru
while building the PFN out of the pte entry
* use SHRREG instead of extru (iitlba expects the PFN at bits {7..26})
Still wondering why we can use the same register (pte) as extru source
and target register, but it seems to work on PA1.1 and PA2.0...

Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but
currently only x86 and mips provide one. Add a generic compat_sys_ustat
and switch all architectures over to it. Instead of doing various
user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as
it's trivial. This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann.
Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes
stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of
data writen by the syscall.

Impact: cleanup, futureproof
In fact, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit
numbers < nr_cpu_ids. So use that instead of NR_CPUS in various
places.
This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and
nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.

We're weaning the core code off handing cpumask's around on-stack.
This introduces arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask(), and by defining
it, the old arch_send_call_function_ipi is defined by the core code.
We also take the chance to change send_IPI_mask() and use the new
for_each_cpu() iterator.

Honestly, I can't decide whether to apply this. It really should never
happen in the kernel, since the kernel can guarantee it won't get the
access rights failure (highest privilege level, and can set %sr and
%protid to whatever it wants.)
It really genuinely is a bug that probably should panic the kernel. The
only precedent I can easily see is x86 fixing up a bad iret with a
general protection fault, which is more or less analogous to code 27
here.
On the other hand, taking the exception on a userspace access really
isn't all that critical, and there's fundamentally little reason for the
kernel not to SIGSEGV the process, and continue...
Argh.
(btw, I've instrumented my do_sys_poll with a pile of assertions that
%cr8 << 1 == %sr3 == current->mm.context... let's see if where we're
getting corrupted is deterministic, though, I would guess that it won't
be.)

parisc: add uevent helper for parisc bus
udev device-driver auto detection was failing to work on the GSC bus, since
udev didn't knew wich driver to load due to a missing MODALIAS environment
variable from kernel.
This patch fixes this by adding the MODALIAS environment variable to the
uevent kernel notifications.
Since modalias_show() generated the modalias string already, I splitted this
out and created a new static function make_modalias() which is now used by
modalias_show() and the new parisc_uevent() function.
Tested on 715/64 and c3000.

On 32bit (and sometimes 64bit) and with big kernel modules like xfs or
ipv6 the relocation types R_PARISC_PCREL17F and R_PARISC_PCREL22F may
fail to reach their PLT stub if we only create one big stub array for
all sections at the beginning of the core or init section.
With this patch we now instead add individual PLT stub entries
directly in front of the code sections where the stubs are actually
called. This reduces the distance between the PCREL location and the
stub entry so that the relocations can be fulfilled.
While calculating the final layout of the kernel module in memory, the
kernel module loader calls arch_mod_section_prepend() to request the
to be reserved amount of memory in front of each individual section.
Tested with 32- and 64bit kernels.

Impact: change existing irq_chip API
Not much point with gentle transition here: the struct irq_chip's
setaffinity method signature needs to change.
Fortunately, not widely used code, but hits a few architectures.
Note: In irq_select_affinity() I save a temporary in by mangling
irq_desc[irq].affinity directly. Ingo, does this break anything?

Impact: cleanup
Each SMP arch defines these themselves. Move them to a central
location.
Twists:
1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.
2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.
3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
so I just manipulate them both in sync.
4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
declarations.

(I did not compile or test it, please let me know, or help fixing
it, if something is wrong with the conversion)
This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".
To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.
We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.
We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.
Thanks,
Kay

Any user on existing parisc 32- and 64bit-kernels can easily crash
the kernel and as such enforce a DSO.
A simple testcase is available here:
http://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/~deller/crash.tgz
The problem is introduced by the fact, that the handle_interruption()
crash handler calls the show_regs() function, which in turn tries to
unwind the stack by calling parisc_show_stack(). Since the stack contains
userspace addresses, a try to unwind the stack is dangerous and useless
and leads to the crash.
The fix is trivial: For userspace processes
a) avoid to unwind the stack, and
b) avoid to resolve userspace addresses to kernel symbol names.
While touching this code, I converted print_symbol() to %pS
printk formats and made parisc_show_stack() static.
An initial patch for this was written by Kyle McMartin back in August:

Backtrace:

[<0000000040104ef8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14
The problem is that compat_arch_ptrace() enters with an addr value of
type compat_ulong_t and calls translate_usr_offset() to translate the
address offset into a struct pt_regs offset like this:
addr = translate_usr_offset(addr)
this means that any return value of translate_usr_offset() is stored
back as compat_ulong_t type into the addr variable.
But since translate_usr_offset() returns -1 for invalid offsets, addr
can now get the value 0xffffffff which then fails the next return-value
sanity check and thus the kernel tries to access invalid memory:
if (addr < 0)
break;
Fix this bug by modifying translate_usr_offset() to take and return
values of type compat_ulong_t, and by returning the value
"sizeof(struct pt_regs)" as an error indicator.
Additionally change the sanity check to check for return values
for >= sizeof(struct pt_regs).
This patch survived my compile and run-tests.

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.
Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().
Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

This patch does the compat_sys_ptrace conversion for parisc.
In addition it does convert the parisc ptrace code to use the
architecture-independent ptrace infrastructure instead of own coding.
