The generated copy_page for R4k CPU with a 128 byte cache line size used
Create Dirty Exclusive cache line operations even if only part of the
cache line was filled. This change avoids generating cache operations,
if only part of the cache line size is copied in one loop. It also
increases the maxmimum loop size, because the generated code even fits
into the available space for r4k CPUs with 128 byte cache line size.

This reverts commit a1676072558854b95336c8f7db76b0504e909a0a. It duplicates
the change from 8d64c781f0c5fbfdf8016bd1634506ff2ad1376a and only one should be
applied, otherwise some of the Dell quirks are lost.
Thanks to Tony Camuso for catching this.

There are various constraints on the use of unit-at-a-time:
- i386 uses no-unit-at-a-time for pre-4.0 (not 4.3)
- x86_64 uses unit-at-a-time always
Uli reported a crash on x86_64 with gcc 4.1.2 with unit-at-a-time,
resulting in commit c0a18111e571138747a98af18b3a2124df56a0d1
Ingo reported a gcc internal error with gcc 4.3 with no-unit-at-a-timem,
resulting in 22eecde2f9034764a3fd095eecfa3adfb8ec9a98
Benny Halevy is seeing extern inlines not resolved with gcc 4.3 with
no-unit-at-a-time
This patch reintroduces unit-at-a-time for gcc >= 4.0, bringing back the
possibility of Uli's crash. If that happens, we'll debug it.
I started seeing both the internal compiler errors and unresolved
inlines on Fedora 9. This patch fixes both problems, without so far
reintroducing the crash reported by Uli.

A recent patch to legacy_serial.c factored out some code by
using the of_match_node() facility to match a node against
an array of possible matches. However, the patch didn't properly
terminate the array causing potential crashes in cases where no
match is found. In addition, the name of the array was poorly
chosen for a static symbol making debugging harder.

Since the trampoline code is now used for ACPI resume from suspend to RAM,

Some Dell laptops enter resume with apparent garbage in the segment
descriptor registers (almost certainly the result of a botched
transition from protected to real mode.) The only way to clean that
up is to enter protected mode ourselves and clean out the descriptor
registers.
This fixes resume on Dell XPS M1210 and Dell D620.

The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data. As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems. But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.
The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext". Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext. The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.
On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

The introduction of a real dma cache invalidate makes it important
to have a correct cache line size, otherwise the kernel will gives
out two memory segment, which might share one cache line. The R4400
Indy/Indigo2 CPU modules are using a second level cache line size
of 128 bytes, so MIPS_L1_CACHE_SHIFT needs to be bumped up to 7 for

resume causes 32-bit Intel Mac machines to reboot very early when
booting with EFI.
The EFI code appears to manage low mappings for itself when needed; but
like many before it, confuses PSE with PAE. So it has only been mapping
half the space it needed when PSE but not PAE. This remained unnoticed
until we moved the SMP zap_low_mappings() before
efi_enter_virtual_mode(). Presumably could have been noticed years ago
if anyone ran a UP kernel on such machines?

Suspend/resume ("echo mem > /sys/power/state") does not work with
vanilla kernels -- the system does not suspend correctly and just
hangs. This patch fixes this so suspend/resume works:
1) of_iomap does not map the whole 0xC000 of the MPC5200 immr so
saving registers does not work.
2) PCI registers need to be saved and restored.

On a system where there are no hot pluggable cpus "additional_cpus"
is still set to -1 at the point where we call per_cpu_scan_finalize().
If we didn't find an SRAT table and so pick the default "32" for the
number of cpus, when we get to:
high_cpu = min(high_cpu + reserve_cpus, NR_CPUS);
we will end up initializing for just 31 cpus ... and so we will
die horribly when bringing up cpu#32.

Vegard Nossum reported crashes during cpu hotplug tests:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121413950227884&w=4
In function _cpu_up, the panic happens when calling
__raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time. Kernel doesn't panic when
calling it at the first time. If just say because of nr_cpu_ids, that's
not right.
By checking the source code, I found that function do_boot_cpu is the culprit.
Consider below call chain:
_cpu_up=>__cpu_up=>smp_ops.cpu_up=>native_cpu_up=>do_boot_cpu.
So do_boot_cpu is called in the end. In do_boot_cpu, if
boot_error==true, cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_possible_map) is executed. So later
on, when _cpu_up calls __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time to
report CPU_UP_CANCELED, because this cpu is already cleared from
cpu_possible_map, get_cpu_sysdev returns NULL.
Many resources are related to cpu_possible_map, so it's better not to
change it.
Below patch against 2.6.26-rc7 fixes it by removing the bit clearing in
cpu_possible_map.

Call check_sal_cache_flush() after platform_setup() as
check_sal_cache_flush() now relies on being able to call platform
vector code.
Problem was introduced by: 3463a93def55c309f3c0d0a8aaf216be3be42d64
"Update check_sal_cache_flush to use platform_send_ipi()"

Non-PAE operation has been deprecated in Xen for a while, and is
rarely tested or used. xen-unstable has now officially dropped
non-PAE support. Since Xen/pvops' non-PAE support has also been
broken for a while, we may as well completely drop it altogether.

Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to
the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching
virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has
guest state loaded. If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same
time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall.
Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr
switching during bootup.

KVM has a heuristic to unshadow guest pagetables when userspace accesses
them, on the assumption that most guests do not allow userspace to access
pagetables directly. Unfortunately, in addition to unshadowing the pagetables,
it also oopses.
This never triggers on ordinary guests since sane OSes will clear the
pagetables before assigning them to userspace, which will trigger the flood
heuristic, unshadowing the pagetables before the first userspace access. One
particular guest, though (Xenner) will run the kernel in userspace, triggering
the oops. Since the heuristic is incorrect in this case, we can simply
remove it.
