Check CONFIG_FREEZER instead of CONFIG_PM because kprobe booster
depends on freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.
This fixes a linkage error which occurs when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, CONFIG_PM=y
and CONFIG_FREEZER=n.

The PAPR says that the property for specifying the number of SLBs should
be called "slb-size". We currently only look for "ibm,slb-size" because
this is what firmware actually presents.
This patch makes us look for the "slb-size" property as well and in
preference to the "ibm,slb-size". This should future proof us if
firmware changes to match PAPR.

powerpc: is_hugepage_only_range() must account for both 4kB and 64kB slices
The subpage_prot syscall fails on second and subsequent calls for a given
region, because is_hugepage_only_range() is mis-identifying the 4 kB
slices when the process has a 64 kB page size.

We just fix up the reference parameters as the others are dealt with by
arithmetic promotion rules and don't cause warnings.
This removes warnings like this:

Also, these:

Unlike other alphas, marvel doesn't have real PC-style CMOS clock hardware
- RTC accesses are emulated via PAL calls. Unfortunately, for unknown
reason these calls work only on CPU #0. So current implementation for
arbitrary CPU makes CMOS_READ/WRITE to be executed on CPU #0 via IPI.
However, for obvious reason this doesn't work with standard
get/set_rtc_time() functions, where a bunch of CMOS accesses is done with
disabled interrupts.
Solved by making the IPI calls for entire get/set_rtc_time() functions,
not for individual CMOS accesses. Which is also a lot more effective
performance-wise.
The patch is largely based on the code from Jay Estabrook.
My changes:
- tweak asm-generic/rtc.h by adding a couple of #defines to
avoid a massive code duplication in arch/alpha/include/asm/rtc.h;
- sys_marvel.c: fix get/set_rtc_time() return values (Jay's FIXMEs).
NOTE: this fixes *only* LIB_RTC drivers. Legacy (CONFIG_RTC) driver
wont't work on marvel. Actually I think that we should just disable
CONFIG_RTC on alpha (maybe in 2.6.30?), like most other arches - AFAIK,
all modern distributions use LIB_RTC anyway.

Recently introduced generic pci_common_swizzle() relies on bus->self
being NULL for the root PCI bus. But on nautilus bus->self points to
the host bridge device, which is necessary as we do a root bus sizing
on this system. As a result, pci_common_swizzle() loops infinitely.
This worked until 2.6.29-rc1 because the alpha-specific swizzle routine
checked for bus->parent == NULL (instead of bus->self).
Fixed by clearing bus->self after bus sizing is done.

init_srm_irq() deals with irq's #16 and above, but size of irq_desc
array on nautilus and some other system types is 16. So gcc-4.3
complains that "array subscript is above array bounds", even though
this function is never called on those systems.
This adds a check for NR_IRQS <= 16, which effectively optimizes
init_srm_irq() code away on problematic platforms.
Thanks to Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> for detailed analysis
of the problem.

This reverts commit 58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff, which
makes my Nehalem come to a nasty crawling almost-halt. It looks like it

sched_clock() on ia64 is based on ar.itc, so is never

(e.g. certain models of SGI Altix) it may be running at

just for SN2 && GENERIC kernels ... it is needed for

By selecting HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS architectures can activate
system call wrappers in order to sign extend system call arguments.
All architectures where the ABI defines that the caller of a function
has to perform sign extension probably need this.

FSL U-Boots use /soc8315@e0000000 node to search and fixup serial
nodes' clock-frequency properties. Though in upstream kernels we use
new naming convention -- for IMMR address space dts files specify
/immr@e0000000 nodes.
This makes FSL U-Boots fail to fixup the clock frequencies, and that
leads to serial ports misbehaviour. We can workaround the issue by
filling the clock frequency values manually.
p.s. For the same reason FSL U-Boots fail to fixup MAC addresses for
ethernet nodes, so users should either change the .dts file locally
or set MAC address via `ifconfig hw ether' command.

Impact: reduce scope of debug check - avoid warnings
The logic to find whether identity map exists or not using
high_memory or max_low_pfn_mapped/max_pfn_mapped are not complete
as the memory withing the range may not be mapped if there is a
unusable hole in e820.
Specifically, on my test system I started seeing these warnings with
tools like hwinfo, acpidump trying to map ACPI region.

We can add logic to check for this. But, there can also be other holes in
identity map when we have 1GB of aligned reserved space in e820.
This patch handles it by removing the WARN_ON and returning a specific
error value (EFAULT) to indicate that the address does not have any
identity mapping.
The code that tries to keep identity map in sync can ignore
this error, with other callers of cpa still getting error here.

Impact: avoid warning message, potentially solve 3D performance regression
Change x86 PAT code to return compatible memtype if the exact memtype that
was requested in remap_pfn_rage and friends is not available due to some
conflict.
This is done by returning the compatible type in pgprot parameter of
track_pfn_vma_new(), and the caller uses that memtype for page table.
Note that track_pfn_vma_copy() which is basically called during fork gets the
prot from existing page table and should not have any conflict. Hence we use
strict memtype check there and do not allow compatible memtypes.
This patch fixes the bug reported here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123108883716357&w=2
Specifically the error message:
X:5010 map pfn expected mapping type write-back for d0000000-d0101000,
got write-combining
Should go away.

Impact: cleanup
Change the protection parameter for track_pfn_vma_new() into a pgprot_t pointer.
Subsequent patch changes the x86 PAT handling to return a compatible
memtype in pgprot_t, if what was requested cannot be allowed due to conflicts.
No fuctionality change in this patch.

Impact: cleanup
Move the new memtype old memtype allowed check to header so that is can be
shared by other users. Subsequent patch uses this in pat.c in remap_pfn_range()
code path. No functionality change in this patch.

The PowerMac kernel occasionally fails to bring up the secondary CPUs on
SMP, the trigger factor seem to be fairly random and related to location
of code and data.
This appears to be due to the initial loading of the TOC value by the
secondary processor which now happens before we clear HID4:RM_CI (Real
Mode Cache Invalidate). This bit should really be cleared before we do
any load or store other than fetching code.
This fix works based on the assumption that all SMP 64-bit PowerMacs use
variants of the 970, which fortunately is true, by explicitely clearing
that bit, adding an slbia for good measure as RM_CI mode is known to
create bogus ERAT entries.
I also removed some spurrious debug output that was left enabled by
mistake while at it.

Convert arch/powerpc/ over to long long based u64:
-#ifdef __powerpc64__
-# include <asm-generic/int-l64.h>
-#else
-# include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>
-#endif
+#include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>
This will avoid reoccuring spurious warnings in core kernel code that
comes when people test on their own hardware. (i.e. x86 in ~98% of the
cases) This is what x86 uses and it generally helps keep 64-bit code
32-bit clean too.

Enforce that the crash kernel region never overlaps the current kernel,
as it will be written directly on kexec load.
Also, default to the previous KDUMP_KERNELBASE if the start is 0.
Other architectures (x86, ia64) state that specifying the start address
0 (or omitting it) will result in the kernel allocating it. Before the
relocatable patch in 2.6.28, powerpc would adjust any other start value
to the hardcoded KDUMP_KERNELBASE of 32M.

We are declaring the dummy section (used to work around a binutils
bug) as PT_NOTE, but we don't have enough bytes for it to be a valid
note header, and kexec userspace complains:
Warning: Elf Note name is not null terminated
Warning: append= option is not passed. Using the first kernel root partition
Warning: Elf Note name is not null terminated
Instead of using the arbitray value 0xf177 (aka "fill"), declare a
no-name no-description note of type 0.
