On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.
First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.
On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core. The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

Commit deac93df26b20cf8438339b5935b5f5643bc30c9 ("lib: Correct printk
%pF to work on all architectures") broke the non modular builds by
moving an essential function into modules.c. Fix this by moving it
out again and into asm/sections.h as an inline. To do this, the
definition of struct ppc64_opd_entry has been lifted out of modules.c
and put in asm/elf.h where it belongs.

One of the changes in the bootwrapper makefile introduced the dtbImage
targets for boards that need a simple zImage with a DTB embedded in
them (595be948cce574ff2d5dde5d0426a636a4363c70, "[POWERPC]
bootwrapper: Build multiple cuImages"). When this was done, it broke
booting on the Holly board as the zImage.holly wrapper did not get the
DTB embedded properly.
This changes the target for the Holly board to a dtbImage so that the
wrapper includes the vmlinux, wrapper bits, and DTB.

For Freescale 8xxx devices that use an MPIC, the interrupt numbers in
the device tree must be 16 greater than the values documented in the
reference manual. In these chips, the MPIC is wired to use the first
16 numbers for external interrupts, but the documentation numbers
internal interrupts from 0.
In the MPC8610 HPCD device tree, the interrupt properties for the DMA
channels for DMA2 were not the adjusted values. This fixes that.

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors
Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

We currently have a race when scheduling a context to a SPE -
after we have found a runnable context in spusched_tick, the same
context may have been scheduled by spu_activate().
This may result in a panic if we try to unschedule a context that has
been freed in the meantime.
This change exits spu_schedule() if the context has already been
scheduled, so we don't end up scheduling it twice.

We currently have a race for a free SPE. With one thread doing a
spu_yield(), and another doing a spu_activate():
thread 1 thread 2
spu_yield(oldctx) spu_activate(ctx)
__spu_deactivate(oldctx)
spu_unschedule(oldctx, spu)
spu->alloc_state = SPU_FREE
spu = spu_get_idle(ctx)
- searches for a SPE in
state SPU_FREE, gets
the context just
freed by thread 1
spu_schedule(ctx, spu)
spu->alloc_state = SPU_USED
spu_schedule(newctx, spu)
- assumes spu is still free
- tries to schedule context on
already-used spu
This change introduces a 'free_spu' flag to spu_unschedule, to indicate
whether or not the function should free the spu after descheduling the
context. We only set this flag if we're not going to re-schedule
another context on this SPU.
Add a comment to document this behaviour.

Commit 8d5636fbca202f61fdb808fc9e20c0142291d802 introduced a reference
count on SPU contexts during find_victim, but this may cause a leak in
the reference count if we later find a better contender for a context to
unschedule.
Change the reference to after we've found our victim context, so we
don't do the extra get_spu_context().

The calculation to get TI_CPU based off of SPRG3 was just plain wrong,
meaning that we were getting garbage for the CPU number on 6xx/G3/G4

Just offset off the stack pointer (to get to thread_info) like all the
other references to TI_CPU do.

This bug is causing random crashes
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414).
-fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
interrupt.
This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work
around the gcc codegen bug.

Commit bc033b63bbfeb6c4b4eb0a1d083c650e4a0d2af8 ("powerpc/mm: Fix
attribute confusion with htab_bolt_mapping()") moved the check for
whether we should make pages of the linear mapping executable from
htab_bolt_mapping into its callers, including htab_initialize.
A side-effect of this is that the decision is now made once for
each contiguous section in the LMB array rather than for each page
individually. This can often mean that the whole of the linear
mapping ends up being executable.
This reverts to the previous behaviour, where individual pages are
checked for being part of the kernel text or not, by moving the check
back down into htab_bolt_mapping.

Fix the ioremap of the spu shadow regs on the PS3.
The current PS3 hypervisor requires the spu shadow regs to be
mapped with the PTE page protection bits set as read-only (PP=3).
This implementation uses the low level __ioremap() to bypass the
page protection settings inforced by ioremap_flags() to get the
needed PTE bits set for the shadow regs.
This fixes a runtime failure on the PS3 introduced by the powerpc
ioremap_prot rework of commit a1f242ff460e4b50a045fa237c3c56cce9eabf83

Recent of_platform changes made of_bus_type_init() overwrite the bus
type's .dev_attrs list, meaning that the "name" attribute that ibmebus
devices previously had is no longer present. This is a user-visible
regression which breaks the userspace eHCA support, since the eHCA
userspace driver relies on the name attribute to check for valid

This fixes it by providing the "name" attribute in the generic OF

The intent of "flush_tlbs" is to invalidate all TLB entries by doing a

0x00400000. A loop counter is set up at the high value and

sense of the conditional branch at the loop end does not match the
setup/decrement. This fixes it to do the whole range by correcting

When we fork, init_new_context() improperly resets the vdso_base
of the new context to 0. That means that the new process loses
access to the vdso for signal trampolines.
The initialization should be unnecessary anyway as the context
on a fresh mm should be 0 in the first place and binfmt_elf
will initialize that value for a newly loaded process.

Rename KEXEC_CONTROL_CODE_SIZE to KEXEC_CONTROL_PAGE_SIZE, because control
page is used for not only code on some platform. For example in kexec
jump, it is used for data and stack too.

Based on an original patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>.
Currently, there is a possible reference-after-free in the spusched
code - contexts may be freed after we have released their state_mutex
in spusched_tick and find_victim.
This change takes a reference to the context before releasing the
mutex, so that the context doesn't get destroyed.

Currently, spu_run ignores the npc argument for contexts created with
SPU_CREATE_NOSCHED. While this is correct for isolated contexts,
there's no need to enforce the npc restriction on non-isolated NOSCHED
contexts.
This means that NOSCHED contexts can only ever run with an entry point
of 0x0.
This change to spu_run_init allows setting of the npc (and, while we're
at it, the privcntl) for non-isolated NOSCHED contexts. This allows
us to run NOSCHED contexts from any entry point.
