Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs. This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be explicitly disabled for embedded systems. This patch: Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation. Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel= command-line parameter. The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm initialisation code will be moved here over time.

David Brownell authored
Flag platforms as HAVE_CLK (or not) in Kconfig, based on whether they support <linux/clk.h> calls, so that otherwise portable drivers which need those calls can list that dependency. Something like this is a prerequisite for merging the musb_hdrc driver, currently used on platforms including Davinci, OMAP2430, OMAP3xx ... and the discrete TUSB6010 chip, which doesn't have a natural platform dependency. (Used with OMAP 2420 in current Nokia N8x0 tablets.)

This adds fast paths for 32-bit syscall entry and exit when TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is set, but no other kind of syscall tracing. These paths does not need to save and restore all registers as the general case of tracing does. Avoiding the iret return path when syscall audit is enabled helps performance a lot.

This short-circuit path in sysret_signal looks wrong to me. AFAICT, in practice the branch is never taken--and if it were, it would go wrong. To wit, try loading a module whose init function does set_thread_flag(TIF_IRET), and see insmod crash (presumably with a wrong user stack pointer). This is because the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK work hasn't been done yet when we jump around the call to ptregscall_common and get to int_with_check--where it expects the user RSP,SS,CS and EFLAGS to have been stored by FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK. I don't think it's normally possible to get to sysret_signal with no _TIF_DO_NOTIFY_MASK bits set anyway, so these two instructions are already superfluous. If it ever did happen, it is harmless to call do_notify_resume with nothing for it to do. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>

It is important that drive->pc_callback is set prior to enabling IRQs on the device since this is called from the IRQ handler. Otherwise it hurts as I learnt the hard way from the several "Kernel panic - not synching: Fatal exception in interrupt" during the weekend :).

Refrain from carrying the callback ptr with every packet command since the callback function is only one anyways. ide_drive_t is probably not the most suitable place for it right now but is the more sane solution. Besides, these structs are going to be reorganized anyways during the generic ide rewrite.
