Add clock alias for clock that is used by tc6393xb device on tosa.

As noticed by Russell King, we were not setting this properly
to the number of entries, but rather the total size.
This results in the core dumping code allocating waayyyy too
much memory.

Such a crash is possible if the CPU in this system is a 64-bit
processor which doesn't support NX (ie, old Intel P4 -based64-bit
processors).
Certainly, if we support such processors, then we should start with
_PAGE_NX initially clear in __supported_pte_flags, and then set it once
we've established that the processor does indeed support NX. That will
prevent early_ioremap - or anything else - from trying to set it.
The simple fix is to simply call check_efer() earlier.

Change the MN10300 fault handler to make it check in_atomic() rather than
in_interrupt() as commit 6edaf68a87d17570790fd55f0c451a29ec1d6703 did for other
architectures:

Date: Wed Dec 6 20:32:18 2006 -0800
[PATCH] mm: arch do_page_fault() vs in_atomic()
In light of the recent pagefault and filemap_copy_from_user work I've
gone through all the arch pagefault handlers to make sure the
inc_preempt_count() 'feature' works as expected.
Several sections of code (including the new filemap_copy_from_user)
rely on the fact that faults do not take locks under increased preempt
count.

This is happening because of an improper usage of strcmp() in the
e820 parsing code. The strcmp() always returns !0 and never resets the
value for e820.nr_map and returns an incorrect user-defined map.

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.

When running a 31-bit ptrace, on either an s390 or s390x kernel,
reads and writes into a padding area in struct user_regs_struct32
will result in a kernel panic.
This is also known as CVE-2008-1514.
Test case available here:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/user-area-padding.c?cvsroot=systemtap
Steps to reproduce:
1) wget the above
2) gcc -o user-area-padding-31bit user-area-padding.c -Wall -ggdb2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m31
3) ./user-area-padding-31bit
<panic>
Test status
-----------
Without patch, both s390 and s390x kernels panic. With patch, the test case,
as well as the gdb testsuite, pass without incident, padding area reads
returning zero, writes ignored.
Nb: original version returned -EINVAL on write attempts, which broke the
gdb test and made the test case slightly unhappy, Jan Kratochvil suggested
the change to return 0 on write attempts.

On 32-bit, at least the generic nops are fairly reasonable, but the
default nops for 64-bit really look pretty sad, and the P6 nops really do
look better.
So I would suggest perhaps moving the static P6 nop selection into the
CONFIG_X86_64 thing.
The alternative is to just get rid of that static nop selection, and just
have two cases: 32-bit and 64-bit, and just pick obviously safe cases for
them.

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.

Exception stacks are allocated each time a CPU is set online.
But the allocated space is never freed. Thus with one CPU hotplug
offline/online cycle there is a memory leak of 24K (6 pages) for

set online for the first time.

Krzysztof Helt found MTRR is not detected on k6-2
root cause:
we moved mtrr_bp_init() early for mtrr trimming,
and in early_detect we only read the CPU capability from cpuid,
so some cpu doesn't have that bit in cpuid.
So we need to add early_init_xxxx to preset those bit before mtrr_bp_init
for those earlier cpus.

This patch provides an ARM implementation of ioremap_wc().
We use different page table attributes depending on which CPU we
are running on:
- Non-XScale ARMv5 and earlier systems: The ARMv5 ARM documents four
possible mapping types (CB=00/01/10/11). We can't use any of the
cached memory types (CB=10/11), since that breaks coherency with
peripheral devices. Both CB=00 and CB=01 are suitable for _wc, and
CB=01 (Uncached/Buffered) allows the hardware more freedom than
CB=00, so we'll use that.
(The ARMv5 ARM seems to suggest that CB=01 is allowed to delay stores
but isn't allowed to merge them, but there is no other mapping type
we can use that allows the hardware to delay and merge stores, so
we'll go with CB=01.)
- XScale v1/v2 (ARMv5): same as the ARMv5 case above, with the slight
difference that on these platforms, CB=01 actually _does_ allow
merging stores. (If you want noncoalescing bufferable behavior
on Xscale v1/v2, you need to use XCB=101.)
- Xscale v3 (ARMv5) and ARMv6+: on these systems, we use TEXCB=00100
mappings (Inner/Outer Uncacheable in xsc3 parlance, Uncached Normal
in ARMv6 parlance).
The ARMv6 ARM explicitly says that any accesses to Normal memory can
be merged, which makes Normal memory more suitable for _wc mappings
than Device or Strongly Ordered memory, as the latter two mapping
types are guaranteed to maintain transaction number, size and order.
We use the Uncached variety of Normal mappings for the same reason
that we can't use C=1 mappings on ARMv5.
The xsc3 Architecture Specification documents TEXCB=00100 as being
Uncacheable and allowing coalescing of writes, which is also just
what we need.

After fixing the u32 thinko I sill had occasional hickups on ATI chipsets
with small deltas. There seems to be a delay between writing the compare
register and the transffer to the internal register which triggers the
interrupt. Reading back the value makes sure, that it hit the internal
match register befor we compare against the counter value.

We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because:
1) some HPETs are 32bit only
2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide
The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did
not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and
64 bit.
This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents
code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit
unawareness.
unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit.
but the final compare will fail and return -ETIME causing endless
loops.

Use X86_FEATURE_NOPL to determine if it is safe to use P6 NOPs in
alternatives. Also, replace table and loop with simple if statement.

The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6.
Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware
and software, don't obey this dictum. Instead, probe for NOPL
directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD.

The CPU feature detection code in the boot code is somewhat minimal,
and doesn't include all possible CPUID words. In particular, it
doesn't contain the code for CPU feature words 2 (Transmeta),
3 (Linux-specific), 5 (VIA), or 7 (scattered). Zero them out, so we
can still set those bits as known at compile time; in particular, this
allows creating a Linux-specific NOPL flag and have it required (and
therefore resolvable at compile time) in 64-bit mode.
