This patch adds max_direct_dma_addr to struct dev_archdata to remove addr_needs_map in struct dma_mapping_ops. It also converts dma_capable() to use max_direct_dma_addr. max_direct_dma_addr is initialized in pci_dma_dev_setup_swiotlb(), called via ppc_md.pci_dma_dev_setup hook.

Time time taken for a single cpu online operation on a pseries machine is as follows: Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): ~220ms. Shared LPAR (POWER5) : ~240ms. Of this time, approximately 200ms is taken up by __cpu_up(). This is because we poll every 200ms to check if the new cpu has notified it's presence through the cpu_callin_map. We repeat this operation until the new cpu sets the value in cpu_callin_map or 5 seconds elapse, whichever comes earlier. However, using completion_structs instead of polling loops, the time taken by the new processor to indicate it's presence has found to be less than 1ms on pseries. This method however may not work on all powerpc platforms due to the time-base synchronization code. Keeping this in mind, we could reduce msleep polling interval from 200ms to 1ms while retaining the 5 second timeout. With this, the time taken for a cpu online operation changes as follows: Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): 20-25ms. Shared LPAR (POWER5) : 60-80ms. In both these cases, it was found that the code polls through the loop only once indicating that 1ms is a reasonable value, atleast on pseries. The code needs testing on other powerpc platforms.

The ptrace POKETEXT interface allows a process to modify the text pages of a child process being ptraced, usually to insert breakpoints via trap instructions. The kernel eventually calls copy_to_user_page, which in turn calls __flush_icache_range to invalidate the icache lines for the child process. However, this function does not work on 44x due to the icache being virtually indexed. This was noticed by a breakpoint being triggered after it had been cleared by ltrace on a 440EPx board. The convenient solution is to do a flash invalidate of the icache in the __flush_icache_range function.

This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute permission on powerpc. _PAGE_HWEXEC is gone, _PAGE_EXEC is now only defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of #ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that hopefully should cover everything. The logic on BookE is a little bit different than what it was though not by much. Since now, _PAGE_EXEC will be set by the generic code for executable pages, we need to filter out if they are unclean and recover it. However, I don't expect the code to be more bloated than it already was in that area due to that change. I could boast that this brings proper enforcing of per-page execute permissions to all BookE and 40x but in fact, we've had that now for some time as a side effect of my previous rework in that area (and I didn't even know it :-) We would only enable execute permission if the page was cache clean and we would only cache clean it if we took and exec fault. Since we now enforce that the later only work if VM_EXEC is part of the VMA flags, we de-fact already enforce per-page execute permissions...

When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses. But with kgdb, kernel address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary crap. So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory that actually exists. In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap into the kernel image. And in order to make that less expensive we make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit physical address space. We can do this because bit 41 indicates "I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges. The result of this is that: 1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size 2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such. If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal inside of the cpu. So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu will be out of trap levels and enter RED state. To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set. We could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an unnecessary extra memory reference. On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks in the TLB miss path.

When I rewrote tty ldisc code to use proper reference counts (commits 65b77046 and cbe9352f) in order to avoid a race with hangup, the test-program that Eric Biederman used to trigger the original problem seems to have exposed another long-standing bug: the hangup code did the 'tty_ldisc_halt()' to stop any buffer flushing activity, but unlike the other call sites it never actually flushed any pending work. As a result, if you get just the right timing, the pending work may be just about to execute (ie the timer has already triggered and thus cancel_delayed_work() was a no-op), when we then re-initialize the ldisc from under it. That, in turn, results in various random problems, usually seen as a NULL pointer dereference in run_timer_softirq() or a BUG() in worker_thread (but it can be almost anything). Fix it by adding the required 'flush_scheduled_work()' after doing the tty_ldisc_halt() (this also requires us to move the ldisc halt to before taking the ldisc mutex in order to avoid a deadlock with the workqueue executing do_tty_hangup, which requires the mutex). The locking should be cleaned up one day (the requirement to do this outside the ldisc_mutex is very annoying, and weakens the lock), but that's a larger and separate undertaking.

This patch simply adds sdhci node to the device tree. We specify clock-frequency manually, so that eSDHC will work without upgrading U-Boot. Though, that'll only work for default setup (1500 MHz) on new board revisions. For non-default setups, it's recommended to upgrade U-Boot, since it will fixup clock-frequency automatically.

binutils prior to 2.17 can't deal with the currently possible situation of a new segment following the per-CPU segment, but that new segment being empty - objcopy misplaces the .bss (and perhaps also the .brk) sections outside of any segment. However, the current ordering of sections really just appears to be the effect of cumulative unrelated changes; re-ordering things allows to easily guarantee that the segment following the per-CPU one is non-empty, and at once eliminates the need for the bogus data.init2 segment. Once touching this code, also use the various data section helper macros from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. -v2: fix !SMP builds.
