      sparc64: Get rid of indirect p1275 PROM call buffer. · 25edd694
      David S. Miller authored
      This is based upon a report by Meelis Roos showing that it's possible
      that we'll try to fetch a property that is 32K in size with some
      devices.  With the current fixed 3K buffer we use for moving data in
      and out of the firmware during PROM calls, that simply won't work.
      
      In fact, it will scramble random kernel data during bootup.
      
      The reasoning behind the temporary buffer is entirely historical.  It
      used to be the case that we had problems referencing dynamic kernel
      memory (including the stack) early in the boot process before we
      explicitly told the firwmare to switch us over to the kernel trap
      table.
      
      So what we did was always give the firmware buffers that were locked
      into the main kernel image.
      
      But we no longer have problems like that, so get rid of all of this
      indirect bounce buffering.
      
      Besides fixing Meelis's bug, this also makes the kernel data about 3K
      smaller.
      
      It was also discovered during these conversions that the
      implementation of prom_retain() was completely wrong, so that was
      fixed here as well.  Currently that interface is not in use.

      sparc: Hook up new fanotify and prlimit64 syscalls. · 8e8073a4
      David S. Miller authored
      The only tricky bit is the compat version of fanotify_mark, which
      which on 32-bit the 64-bit mark argument is passed in as "high32",
      "low32".

      sparc: Really fix "console=" for serial consoles. · 0a492896
      David S. Miller authored
      If a video head and keyboard are hooked up, specifying "console=ttyS0"
      or similar to use a serial console will not work properly.
      
      The key issue is that we must register all serial console capable
      devices with register_console(), otherwise the command line specified
      device won't be found.  The sun serial drivers would only register
      themselves as console devices if the OpenFirmware specified console
      device node matched.  To fix this part we now unconditionally get
      the serial console register by setting serial_drv->cons always.
      
      Secondarily we must not add_preferred_console() using the firmware
      provided console setting if the user gaven an override on the kernel
      command line using "console="  The "primary framebuffer" matching
      logic was always triggering o n openfirmware device node match, make
      it not when a command line override was given.
