The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side
effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by
gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond. There were two reasons:
(1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31
timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and
(2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of
jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards
when the timebase factor gets reduced.
This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in
2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b)
adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday
result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock
and the timer interrupt is late). In this case the adjustment will
reduce to zero eventually because of (a).

The lparcfg code needs several things which are pretty arcane internal
details and which we don't want to export, which means that lparcfg
doesn't work when built as a module. This makes it a bool instead of
a tristate in the Kconfig so that users can't try to build it as a
module.

A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
simplified and improved:
* 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
bit being set. In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
which is not necessarily the current system call.
* 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.
* _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
_TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
by system calls. I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.
* On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
was traced or single-stepped). Thus the non-volatile registers
weren't restored on exit from a signal handler. We probably got
away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
alter the non-volatile registers.
* On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
preemption and signal delivery.
* 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.
* I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
enable interrupts first.

On logically-partitioned machines the first element of the reg
property in the memory node is defined to be the "RMO" region,
i.e. the memory that the processor can access in real mode. On other
machines the first element has no special meaning, so only take it to
be the RMO region on LPAR machines.

The variable `timebase' used to transfer the current timebase value
from one cpu to the other in smp_core99_give/take_timebase was only
an unsigned long, i.e. 32 bits on 32-bit machines. It needs to be
64 bits. This makes it a u64, and fixes the issue reported by Kyle
Moffett, that the two cpus see wildly different values for the time
of day.

On 32-bit, the exception prolog for the program check exception doesn't
enable interrupts early on. If it is an illegal instruction exception,
we read the instruction in order to emulate certain instructions, and
the get_user of the instruction triggers a WARN_ON since interrupts
are still disabled. This adds a local_irq_enable() to enable
interrupts before reading the instruction.

This patch adds mm->task_size to keep track of the task size of a given mm
and uses that to fix the powerpc vdso so that it uses the mm task size to
decide what pages to fault in instead of the current thread flags (which
broke when ptracing).
(akpm: I expect that mm_struct.task_size will become the way in which we
finally sort out the confusion between 32-bit processes and 32-bit mm's. It
may need tweaks, but at this stage this patch is powerpc-only.)

Before the merge I updated create_pte_mapping() to work for iSeries, by
calling iSeries_hpte_bolt_or_insert. (4c55130b2aa93370f1bf52d2304394e91cf8ee39)
Later we changed iSeries_hpte_insert to cope with the bolting case, and called
that instead from create_pte_mapping() (which was renamed to htab_bolt_mapping)
(3c726f8dee6f55e96475574e9f645327e461884c).
Unfortunately that change introduced a subtle bug, where we pass an absolute
address to iSeries_hpte_insert() where it expects a physical address. This
leads to us calling phys_to_abs() twice on the physical address, which is
seriously bogus.
This only causes a problem if the absolute address from the first translation
can be looked up again in the chunk_map, which depends on the size and layout
of memory. I've seen it fail on one box, but not others.
The minimal fix is to pass the physical address to iSeries_hpte_insert(). For
2.6.17 we should make phys_to_abs() BUG if we try to double-translate an
address.

For kexec we need to know the size of the MMU hash table.
Currently we calculate the size once in the htab code, and then twice more in
the kexec code, once using htab_hash_mask and once using ppc64_pft_size.
On some machines the ppc64_pft_size calculation is broken because
ppc64_pft_size is not set.
So we need to fix the second calculation, but better still we should just
calculate the size once and use it everywhere else.

If the logical and physical cpu ids of a secondary thread don't match, we will
fail to spin the thread up on pSeries machines due to a bug in pseries/smp.c
We call the RTAS "start-cpu" method with the physical cpu id, the address of
pSeries_secondary_smp_init and the value to pass that function in r3. Currently
we pass "lcpu", the logical cpu id, but pSeries_secondary_smp_init expects

For UP to SMP kexec to work we need to jump into pSeries_secondary_smp_init
event on a UP + KEXEC kernel. The secondary cpus will not find their hw_cpu_id
in the paca and so they'll jump into kexec_wait, ready for a kexec.

Because smp_release_cpus() is built for SMP || KEXEC, it's not safe to
unconditionally call it from setup_system(). On a UP && KEXEC kernel we'll
start up the secondary CPUs which will then go beserk and we die.
Simple fix is to conditionally call smp_release_cpus() in setup_system(). With
that in place we don't need the dummy definition of smp_release_cpus() because
all call sites are #ifdef'ed either SMP or KEXEC.

This fixes a regression which was introduced by moving ppc32 to use
the same sort of lockless gettimeofday as ppc64 has been using for
some time. This involves getting the timebase and performing some
simple arithmetic to convert it to seconds and microseconds. However,
the factor and offset used there weren't being updated when NTP
varied the tick length using adjtimex. 64-bit didn't notice the
problem because it had a hook in the 32-bit adjtimex compat routine
that attempted to work out what the generic timekeeping code would
do and alter the factor and offset to match. However, that code
was very complex and it wasn't clear that it still matched what the
generic code would do.
Now we use the generic current_tick_length() routine that was recently
added to check that the current tick will be as long as we expect; if
not we recompute the factor and offset. This keeps gettimeofday and
xtime in sync. In addition we check that gettimeofday hasn't got ahead
of xtime on each timer interrupt; if it has, we resync.

We are setting up sources for building external modules like this:
/usr/src/linux-obj> # create a .config file
/usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD oldconfig
/usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD prepare
/usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD scripts
/usr/src/linux-obj> make -C /usr/src/linux O=$PWD clean
After that, external modules can be built with:
/usr/src/module> make -C /usr/src/linux-obj M=$PWD
This fails for ppc32 because the `make clean' removes the
arch/powerpc/include directory. This should be done in archmrproper
instead of in archclean.

Embedded boards that u-boot require a kernel image in the uImage format.
This allows a given board to specify it wants a uImage built by default.
This also fixes a warning at config time, as this symbol is referred
to in arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/Kconfig.

When a cpu is hotplug-onlined, if we don't set per_cpu(last_jiffy) to
something sane, timer_interrupt will execute its while loop for every
tick missed since the cpu was last online (or since the system was
booted, if we're adding a new cpu). This can cause weird hangs, ssh
sessions dropping, and we can even go xmon if we take a global IPI at
the wrong time.
