433c5f7068 sparc64: Fix end-of-stack checking in save_stack_trace().
Bug reported by Alexander Beregalov.

Before we dereference the stack frame or try to peek at the
pt_regs magic value, make sure the entire object is within
the kernel stack bounds.

ae583885bf sparc64: Remove all cpumask_t local variables in xcall dispatch.
All of the xcall delivery implementation is cpumask agnostic, so
we can pass around pointers to const cpumask_t objects everywhere.

The sad remaining case is the argument to arch_send_call_function_ipi().

91a4231cc2 sparc64: Make smp_cross_call_masked() take a cpumask_t pointer.
Ideally this could be simplified further such that we could pass
the pointer down directly into the xcall_deliver() implementation.

But if we do that we need to do the "cpu_online(cpu)" and
"cpu != self" checks down in those functions.

1992663053 sparc64: Call xcall_deliver() directly in some cases.
For these cases the callers make sure:

1) The cpus indicated are online.

2) The current cpu is not in the list of indicated cpus.

Therefore we can pass a pointer to the mask directly.

One of the motivations in this transformation is to make use of
"&cpumask_of_cpu(cpu)" which evaluates to a pointer to constant
data in the kernel and thus takes up no stack space.

Hopefully someone in the future will change the interface of
arch_send_call_function_ipi() such that it passes a const cpumask_t
pointer so that this will optimize ever further.

dbf3e95067 sparc64: Kill __show_regs().
The story is that what we used to do when we actually used
smp_report_regs() is that if you specifically only wanted to have the
current cpu's registers dumped you would call "__show_regs()"
otherwise you would call show_regs() which also invoked
smp_report_regs().

Now that we killed off smp_report_regs() there is no longer any
reason to have these two routines, just show_regs() is sufficient.

Also kill off a stray declaration of show_regs() in sparc64_ksym.c

ef53d9c5e4 kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed locking
Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table.  We have one
global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists.  This causes
only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time.  Hence affects system
performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).

Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
system compared to present kretprobe implementation.

Solution:

 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
    present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table.  We will have
    two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
    lock for kretporbe object.

 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
    instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
    modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list.  To prevent
    deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
    lock.

 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
    track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
    table.

Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.

ed8cae8ba0 flag parameters: pipe
This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value.  This patch implements
the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag.  I did not add support for the new
syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation.  I
think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
implementation but that's up to them.

The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags.  I did that instead of changing
all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
I would probably screw up changing the assembly code.  To avoid breaking code
do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags.  Once all callers are
changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

27ac792ca0 PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures
On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:

	u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);

always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.

The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):

#define PAGE_SHIFT      12
#define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)

The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.

Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

a551643895 hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size
The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes.  This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg.  huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).

The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.

This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.

Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

7ae93f51d7 sparc64: Fix cpufreq notifier registry.
Based upon a report by Daniel Smolik.

We do it too early, which triggers a BUG in
cpufreq_register_notifier().

b7c2a75725 sparc64: Fix lockdep issues in LDC protocol layer.
We're calling request_irq() with a IRQs disabled.

No straightforward fix exists because we want to
enable these IRQs and setup state atomically before
getting into the IRQ handler the first time.

What happens now is that we mark the VIRQ to not be
automatically enabled by request_irq().  Then we
make explicit enable_irq() calls when we grab the
LDC channel.

This way we don't need to call request_irq() illegally
under the LDC channel lock any more.

Bump LDC version and release date.

2222c313e9 sparc64: fix up bus_id changes in sparc core code
This converts all instances of bus_id in the sparc core kernel to use
either dev_set_name(), or dev_name() depending on the need.

This is done in anticipation of removing the bus_id field from struct
driver.

4a0b2b4dbe sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function
This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32

b8f8c3cf0a nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop
Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:

	scheduler switch to idle task
	enable interrupts

Window starts here

	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
	      	irq_exit() stops the tick

	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)

	return from schedule()
	
	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();

Window ends here

The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.

The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.

Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.

cpu_idle()
{
	preempt_disable();

	while(1) {
		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
		 			          are in the idle loop

		 while (!need_resched())
		       halt();

		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
		 schedule();
		 preempt_disable();
	}
}

In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... 

/me grabs a large brown paperbag.
