PPC64 changes to track kprobe execution on a per-cpu basis. We now track the
kprobe state machine independently on each cpu using an arch specific kprobe
control block.

The following set of patches are aimed at improving kprobes scalability. We
currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution
using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock.
With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held. It also
allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as
we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis. It is now necessary
that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on
multiple processors.
All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64
has been compile tested only.
The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks:
patch 1: Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls
patches 2-7: Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution
patches 8-9: Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler
execution.
Thanks to Maneesh Soni, James Keniston and Anil Keshavamurthy for their
review and suggestions. Thanks again to Anil, Hien Nguyen and Kevin Stafford
for testing the patches.
This patch:
Reorder preempt_disable/enable() calls in arch kprobes files in preparation to
introduce locking changes. No functional changes introduced by this patch.

The zImage wrapper has a bug where it doesn't claim() the memory for the
kernel properly, it forgets to take into account the offset between the ELF
header and the kernel itself. This results on some machines, like G5s,
into a kernel that crashes at boot when clearing the BSS.

Mostly this involves adding #include <asm/smp.h>, since that defines

are SMP-related but still needed on UP. This incorporates fixes

The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places.
First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the
hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better
accomplished with a command line option for that purpose. The other
was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which
would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism.
This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism.
Built and booted on iSeries and pSeries POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc).

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

These days, the NACA only exists on iSeries. Therefore, this patch
moves naca.h from include/asm-ppc64 to arch/powerpc/platforms/iseries.
There was one file including naca.h outside of platforms/iseries -
arch/ppc64/kernel/udbg_scc.c. However, that's obviously a hangover
from older days. The include is not necessary, so this patch simply
removes it.
Built and booted on iSeries, built for G5 (which uses udbg_scc.o).

Here's a revised version. This re-introduces the set_bits() function
from ppc64, which I removed because I thought it was unused (it exists
on no other arch). In fact it is used in the powermac interrupt code
(but not on pSeries).
- We use LARXL/STCXL macros to generate the right (32 or 64 bit)
instructions, similar to LDL/STL from ppc_asm.h, used in fpu.S
- ppc32 previously used a full "sync" barrier at the end of
test_and_*_bit(), whereas ppc64 used an "isync". The merged version
uses "isync", since I believe that's sufficient.
- The ppc64 versions of then minix_*() bitmap functions have changed
semantics. Previously on ppc64, these functions were big-endian
(that is bit 0 was the LSB in the first 64-bit, big-endian word).
On ppc32 (and x86, for that matter, they were little-endian. As far
as I can tell, the big-endian usage was simply wrong - I guess
no-one ever tried to use minixfs on ppc64.
- On ppc32 find_next_bit() and find_next_zero_bit() are no longer
inline (they were already out-of-line on ppc64).
- For ppc64, sched_find_first_bit() has moved from mmu_context.h to
the merged bitops. What it was doing in mmu_context.h in the first
place, I have no idea.
- The fls() function is now implemented using the cntlzw instruction
on ppc64, instead of generic_fls(), as it already was on ppc32.
- For ARCH=ppc, this patch requires adding arch/powerpc/lib to the
arch/ppc/Makefile. This in turn requires some changes to
arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile which didn't correctly handle ARCH=ppc.
Built and running on G5.

We had a static memory_limit in prom.c, and then another one defined
in setup_64.c and used in numa.c, which resulted in the kernel crashing
when mem=xxx was given on the command line. This puts the declaration

definition of tce_alloc_start/end out of setup_64.c.

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal
code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function.
Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this
locking in show_mem(). However, they are all included for completeness. This
should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a
little more straightforward.
This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as
sections are invalidated. This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false
for a memory area that's being removed. The lock is only required when doing
pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a
reference on the page, such as in show_mem().

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.
Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.
Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.
If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).
Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.
PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.
All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
based freeing of Reserved pages.
MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).
Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
be trivially removed.
Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still
needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).
A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and
thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct
page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a
number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

Currently when we first select memory model (FLAT, DISCONTIG, SPARSE) then
select whether the machine is NUMA. However NUMA systems may not be FLAT.
This constraint it not honoured and we may configure a NUMA/FLAT system.
Reorder the configuration such that we choose NUMA first which allows us to
only list the memory models which are valid. We now default NUMA for known
NUMA systems. Note that this new order also matches that used in x86.

'make install' creates a /boot/zImage[.vmode] file when the defconfig is used.
It uses the second arg as file content, which is the vmlinux, and the 5th
arg as file name, which is the BOOTIMAGE name.
A comment in an earlier patch to install.sh states that yaboot can not load
a zImage+initrd combo. This was true in kernel 2.6.5 because it did use
bi_recs to pass the initrd info. But this concept was always broken.
Register r3 holds the initrd address and r4 holds the initrd size. This
works with all kernel versions. The current code in main.c leaves r3 and
r4 alone, so the kernel should be able to see and use the memory range with
the initrd content.
If one wants to rerun mkinitrd, it is currently hard to get the uname -r
value for the installed zImage. Without this info, mkinitrd can not know
what modules to use. This would be fixable by including the /proc/version
output of the new kernel. But it is simpler to just use the plain vmlinux.
So all this patch does is to write to /boot/vmlinux instead to /boot/zImage
