Add a vmlinux.lds.h helper macro for defining the eight-level initcall table,
teach all the architectures to use it.
This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for
multithreaded-probing.

1) probe_other_fhcs() wants to see only non-central FHC
busses, so skip FHCs that don't sit off the root
2) Like SBUS, FHC can lack the appropriate address and
size cell count properties, so add an of_busses[]
entry and handlers for that.
3) Central FHC irq translator probing was buggy. We
were trying to use dp->child in irq_trans_init but
that linkage is not setup at this point.
So instead, pass in the parent of "dp" and look for
the child "fhc" with parent "central".
Thanks to the tireless assistence of Ben Collins in tracking
down these problems and testing out these fixes.

The read[bwl] and write[bwl] functions are meant for accessing PCI
devices. How this is achieved on AVR32 is unknown, as there are no
systems with a PCI bridge available yet.
On-chip peripheral access, however, should not depend on how we end
up implementing PCI access, so using __raw_read[bwl]/__raw_write[bwl]
is the right thing to do for on-chip peripherals. This patch converts
the drivers for the static memory controller, interrupt controller,
PIO controller and system manager to use __raw MMIO access.

* when we have stop/sysrq/go, we get pt_regs of whatever executes
mc_work_proc(). Would be better to see what we had at the time of
interrupt that got us stop.
* stop/stop/stop..... will give stack overflow. Shouldn't allow stop
from mconsole_stop().
* stop/stop/go leaves us inside mconsole_stop() with
os_set_fd_block(req->originating_fd, 0);
reactivate_fd(req->originating_fd, MCONSOLE_IRQ);
just done by nested mconsole_stop(). Ditto.
* once we'd seen stop, there's a period when INTR commands are executed
out of order (as they should; we might have the things stuck badly
enough to never reach mconsole_stop(), but still not badly enough to
block mconsole_interrupt(); in that situation we _want_ things like
"cad" to be executed immediately). Once we enter monsole_stop(), all
INTR commands will be executed in order, mixed with PROC ones. We'd
better let user see that such change of behaviour has happened.
(Suggested by lennert).
* stack footprint of monsole_interrupt() is an atrocity; AFAICS we can
safely make struct mc_request req; static in function there.

This causes ipic_set_irq_type to set the handler directly rather
than call set_irq_handler, which causes spinlock recursion because
the lock is already held when ipic_set_irq_type is called.
I'm also not convinced that ipic_set_irq_type should be changing the
handler at all. There seem to be several controllers that don't and
several that do. Those that do would break what appears to be a common
usage of calling set_irq_chip_and_handler followed by set_irq_type, if a
non-standard handler were to be used. OTOH, irq_create_of_mapping()
doesn't set the handler, but only calls set_irq_type().
This patch gets things working in the spinlock-debugging-enabled case,
but I'm curious as to where the handler setting is ideally supposed to be
done. I don't see any documentation on set_irq_type() that clarifies
what the semantics are supposed to be.

Currently, spufs_mbox_read transfers more bytes than requested on a
read. If you ask for four bytes, you get eight. This fixes it to
transfer the largest multiple of four bytes that is less than or equal
to the number you asked for.
Note: one nasty property of this file in spufs is that you can only
read multiples of four bytes in the first place, since there is no way
to atomically put back a few bytes into the hardware register. Thus,
reading less than four bytes returns -EINVAL. Asking for more than
four returns the largest possible multiple of four.

The Cell CPU timebase has an erratum. When reading the entire 64 bits
of the timebase with one mftb instruction, there is a handful of cycles
window during which one might read a value with the low order 32 bits
already reset to 0x00000000 but the high order bits not yet incremeted
by one. This fixes it by reading the timebase again until the low order
32 bits is no longer 0. That might introduce occasional latencies if
hitting mftb just at the wrong time, but no more than 70ns on a cell
blade, and that was considered acceptable.

This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up.
The main issue was that the construct:
.long label (or .llong on 64 bits)
will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will
generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc,
which is not something we can deal with in the vdso.
The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like:
1:
.long label - 1b
That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of
code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry
itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've
modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest
of the kernel as well.
Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel
need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not
support 32 bits code with a statement of the form:
.llong label - 1b (Or even just .llong label)
That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use
to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific
case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are
using a modified macro that generates:
.long 0xffffffff
.llong label - 1b
Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by
the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always
before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the
other way around).

There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the
feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In
addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations
for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and
separately for 32 and 64 bits.
This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are
slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from
assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any
problem.

When I generalized __assign_irq_vector I failed to pay attention
to what happens when you access a per cpu data structure for
a cpu that is not online. It is an undefined case making any
code that does it have undefined behavior as well.
The code still needs to be able to allocate a vector across cpus
that are not online to properly handle combinations like lowest
priority interrupt delivery and cpu_hotplug. Not that we can do
that today but the infrastructure shouldn't prevent it.
So this patch updates the places where we touch per cpu data
to only touch online cpus, it makes cpu vector allocation
an atomic operation with respect to cpu hotplug, and it updates
the cpu start code to properly initialize vector_irq so we
don't have inconsistencies.

There is no reason to remember a per cpu position of which vector
to try. Keeping a global position is simpler and more likely to
result in a global vector allocation even if I don't need or require
it. For level triggered interrupts this means we are less likely to
acknowledge another cpus irq, and cause the level triggered irq to
harmlessly refire.
This simplification makes it easier to only access data structures
of online cpus, by having fewer special cases to deal with.

In calculating stolen time, we were trying to actually account for time
spent in the hypervisor. We don't really have enough information to do
that accurately, so don't try. Instead, we now calculate stolen time as
time that the current cpu thread is not actually dispatching instructions.
On chips without a PURR, we cannot do this, so stolen time will always
be zero. On chips with a PURR, this is merely the difference between
the elapsed PURR values and the elapsed TB values.
This gives us much more sane vaules from tools such as mpstat, even if
they are still a bit strange e.g. 2 busy threads on one cpu will both
appear to have 50% user time and 50% stolen time while 1 busy thread on
a cpu will look like 100% user on one of them and 100% idle on the other.

By default route the 8254 over the 8259 and only disable
it on ATI boards where this causes double timer interrupts.
This should unbreak some Nvidia boards where the timer doesn't
seem to tick of it isn't enabled in the 8259. At least one
VIA board also seemed to have a little trouble with the disabled
8259.
For 2.6.20 we'll try both dynamically without black listing, but I think
for .19 this is the safer approach because it has been already well tested
in earlier kernels. This also makes the x86-64 behaviour the same
as i386.
Command line options can change all this of course.

o A recent change to vmlinux.ld.S file broke kexec as now resulting vmlinux
program headers are overlapping in physical address space.
o Now all the vsyscall related sections are placed after data and after
that mostly init data sections are placed. To avoid physical overlap
among phdrs, there are three possible solutions.
- Place vsyscall sections also in data phdrs instead of user
- move vsyscal sections after init data in bss.
- create another phdrs say data.init and move all the sections
after vsyscall into this new phdr.
o This patch implements the third solution.

TARGET_CPUS is the default irq routing poicy. It specifies which cpus the
kernel should aim an irq at. In physflat delivery mode we can route an irq to
a single cpu. But that doesn't mean our default policy should only be a
single cpu is allowed.
By allowing the irq routing code to select from multiple cpus this enables
systems with more irqs then we can service on a single processor to actually
work.
I just audited and tested the code and irqbalance doesn't care, and the
io_apic.c doesn't care if we have extra cpus in the mask. Everything will use
or assume we are using the lowest numbered cpu in the mask if we can't use
them all.
So this should result in no behavior changes except on systems that need it.
Thanks for YH Lu for spotting this problem in his testing.

Jan convinced me that it was unnecessary because the assembly stubs do
this already on the stack.

Thanks to YH Lu for spotting this. It appears I missed this function when I
refactored allocate_irq_vector and introduced irq_domain, with the result that
all retriggered irqs would go to cpu 0 even if we were not prepared to receive
them there.
While reviewing YH's patch I also noticed that this function was missing
locking, and since I am now reading two values from two diffrent arrays that
looks like a race we might be able to hit in the real world.
