      powerpc: Remove ksp_limit on ppc64 · cbc9565e
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      We've been keeping that field in thread_struct for a while, it contains
      the "limit" of the current stack pointer and is meant to be used for
      detecting stack overflows.
      
      It has a few problems however:
      
       - First, it was never actually *used* on 64-bit. Set and updated but
      not actually exploited
      
       - When switching stack to/from irq and softirq stacks, it's update
      is racy unless we hard disable interrupts, which is costly. This
      is fine on 32-bit as we don't soft-disable there but not on 64-bit.
      
      Thus rather than fixing 2 in order to implement 1 in some hypothetical
      future, let's remove the code completely from 64-bit. In order to avoid
      a clutter of ifdef's, we remove the updates from C code completely
      during interrupt stack switching, and instead maintain it from the
      asm helper that is used to do the stack switching in the first place.

      powerpc/irq: Run softirqs off the top of the irq stack · 0366a1c7
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      Nowadays, irq_exit() calls __do_softirq() pretty much directly
      instead of calling do_softirq() which switches to the decicated
      softirq stack.
      
      This has lead to observed stack overflows on powerpc since we call
      irq_enter() and irq_exit() outside of the scope that switches to
      the irq stack.
      
      This fixes it by moving the stack switching up a level, making
      irq_enter() and irq_exit() run off the irq stack.

      cfq: explicitly use 64bit divide operation for 64bit arguments · f3cff25f
      Anatol Pomozov authored
      'samples' is 64bit operant, but do_div() second parameter is 32.
      do_div silently truncates high 32 bits and calculated result
      is invalid.
      
      In case if low 32bit of 'samples' are zeros then do_div() produces
      kernel crash.
