Make NR_IRQ overridable by each pv instances. Pv instance may need each own number of irqs so that NR_IRQS should be the maximum number of nr_irqs each pv instances need.

paravirtualize ia64_swtich_to, ia64_leave_syscall and ia64_leave_kernel. They include sensitive or performance critical privileged instructions so that they need paravirtualization. To paravirtualize them by single source and multi compile they are converted into indirect jump. And define each pv instances.

This patch adds a setup hook in the very early boot sequence before start_kernel() to initialize paravirtualization stuff. The hook will be set by each pv loader code or by using multi entry point.

__local_irq_save() and local_save_flags() are used to mask interruptions. They read all psr bits that requres whole bit emulation.

Move the LOAD_OFFSET definition from vmlinux.lds.S into system.h. On paravirtualized environments, it is necessary to detect the execution environment. One of the solutions is the multi entry point. The multi entry point allows a boot loader to start the kernel execution from the entry point which is different from the ELF entry point. The non standard entry point will defined as the specialized elf note which contains the LMA of the entry point symbol. The constant, LOAD_OFFSET, is necessary to calculate the symbol's LMA. Move the definition into the public header file to make it available to the multi entry point support.

Problem: An application violating the architectural rules regarding operation dependencies and having specific Register Stack Engine (RSE) state at the time of the violation, may result in an illegal operation fault and invalid RSE state. Such faults may initiate a cascade of repeated illegal operation faults within OS interruption handlers. The specific behavior is OS dependent. Implication: An application causing an illegal operation fault with specific RSE state may result in a series of illegal operation faults and an eventual OS stack overflow condition. Workaround: OS interruption handlers that switch to kernel backing store implement a check for invalid RSE state to avoid the series of illegal operation faults. The core of the workaround is the RSE_WORKAROUND code sequence inserted into each invocation of the SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER and SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER_R19 macros. This sequence includes hard-coded constants that depend on the number of stacked physical registers being 96. The rest of this patch consists of code to disable this workaround should this not be the case (with the presumption that if a future Itanium processor increases the number of registers, it would also remove the need for this patch). Move the start of the RBS up to a mod32 boundary to avoid some corner cases. The dispatch_illegal_op_fault code outgrew the spot it was squatting in when built with this patch and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y Move it out to the end of the ivt.

Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements from the very beginning, and then by Linus. As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this surprising.

Currently sigqueue_free() removes sigqueue from list, but doesn't cancel the pending signal. This is not consistent, the task should either receive the "full" signal along with siginfo_t, or it shouldn't receive the signal at all. Change sigqueue_free() to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC but leave sigqueue on list if it is queued. This is a user-visible change. If the signal is blocked, it stays queued after sys_timer_delete() until unblocked with the "stale" si_code/si_value, and of course it is still counted wrt RLIMIT_SIGPENDING which also limits the number of posix timers.

These magic greps and hacks in ver_linux to get the gcc version always break after some gcc releases. Since now gcc >4.3 allows compiling with '--with-pkgversion' ( which can be everything 'My Cool Gcc' or something ) ver_linux will report random junk for these. Simply use 'gcc -dumpversion' to get the gcc version which should always work.

On Book-E SMP systems each core has its own private watchdog. If only one watchdog is enabled, when the core that doesn't enable the watchdog is hung, system can't reset because no watchdog is running on it. That's bad. It means we must enable watchdogs on both cores. We can use smp_call_function() to send appropriate messages to all the other cores to enable and update the watchdog.
