There's a typo in the LOONGSON_ADDRWIN_CFG macro. The cpu window mmap
register address should contain the destination parameters not the
source one. This has not been noticed because the code is only using
source = destination.

"MIPS: Calculate proper ebase value for 64-bit kernels"
9af43ea080dd5d6c7b34f38261780e5dd43537bc (lmo) rsp.
f6be75d03c8870be91e6e2a195648ece04b6bb16 (kernel.org) broke some 64-bit
MIPS systems.
Before this we were using XKPHYS/cached as ebase and computed the uncached
xphsys/unchached address for that area. After that commit ebase became a
32-bit compat address and convert does not work anymore. We now should use
CKSEG1 for this. CKSEG1ADDR does just that in 32-bit and 64-bit.

For some combinations of PAGE_SIZE and vmbits, it is possible to have
userspace access that are beyond what is covered by the PGD, but within
vmbits. Such an access would cause the TLB refill handler to load garbage
values for PMD and PTE potentially giving userspace access to parts of the
physical address space to which it is not entitled.
In the TLB refill hot path, we add a single dsrl instruction so we can
check if any bits outside of the range covered by the PGD are set. In
the vmalloc side we then separate the bad case from the normal vmalloc
case and call tlb_do_page_fault_0 if warranted. This slows us down a
bit, but has the benefit of yielding deterministic behavior.
[Ralf: Fixed build error for 32-bit kernels.]

The MIPS implementation of die() forgets to call notify_die() and thus notifiers
registered via register_die_notifier() are not called. This results in kgdb not
being activated on exceptions.
The only subtlety is that notify_die declares its regs argument w/o const, so
the const had to be removed from mips die() as well.

Same issues as SD card detection: One of both is always triggering and the
handlers take care to shut it up and enable the other. To avoid messages
about "unbalanced interrupt enable/disable" they must not be automatically
enabled when initally requested.
This was not an issue with the db1200_defconfig due to fortunate timings;
on a build without network chip support the warnings appear.

In the 64-bit kernel we use swapper_pg_dir for three different things.
1) xuseg mappings for kernel threads.
2) vmap mappings for all kernel-space accesses in xkseg.
3) vmap mappings for kernel modules in ksseg (kseg2).
Due to how the TLB refill handlers work, any mapping established in
xkseg or ksseg will also establish a xuseg mapping that should never
be used by the kernel.
In order to be able to use exceptions to trap NULL pointer
dereferences, we need to ensure that nothing is mapped at address
zero. Since vmap mappings in xkseg are reflected in xuseg, this means
we need to ensure that there are no vmap mappings established at the
start of xkseg. So we move back VMALLOC_START to avoid establishing
vmap mappings at the start of xkseg.

When specifying the 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' kernel parameter,
the kernel will stop booting due to a early_ioremap bug that
relates to commit 8827247ff.
The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of
'slot_virt[i]' was initialized in setup_arch->early_ioremap_init().
But later in setup_arch, the function 'parse_early_param' will
modify 'FIXADDR_TOP' when 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified.
The simplest fix might be use __fix_to_virt(idx0) to get updated
value of 'FIXADDR_TOP' in '__early_ioremap' instead of reference
old value from slot_virt[slot] directly.
Changelog since v0:
-v1: When reservetop being handled then FIXADDR_TOP get
adjusted, Hence check prev_map then re-initialize slot_virt and
PMD based on new FIXADDR_TOP.
-v2: place fixup_early_ioremap hence call early_ioremap_init in
reserve_top_address to re-initialize slot_virt and
corresponding PMD when parse_reservertop
-v3: move fixup_early_ioremap out of reserve_top_address to make
sure other clients of reserve_top_address like xen/lguest won't

The bypassing of this test is a leftover from 2.4 vintage
kernels, and is no longer appropriate, or even used by KGDB.
Currently KGDB uses probe_kernel_write() for all access to

This fixes CVE-2010-1446.

ACPI _CRS Address Space Descriptors have _MIN, _MAX, and _LEN. Linux has
been computing Address Spaces as [_MIN to _MIN + _LEN - 1]. Based on the
tests in the bug reports below, Windows apparently uses [_MIN to _MAX].
Per spec (ACPI 4.0, Table 6-40), for _CRS fixed-size, fixed location
descriptors, "_LEN must be (_MAX - _MIN + 1)", and when that's true, it
doesn't matter which way we compute the end. But of course, there are
BIOSes that don't follow this rule, and we're better off if Linux handles
those exceptions the same way as Windows.
This patch makes Linux use [_MIN to _MAX], as Windows seems to do. This
effectively reverts d558b483d5 and 03db42adfe and replaces them with
simpler code.

Firmware changed the way it represents memory and cpu affinity on POWER7.
Unfortunately the old method now caps the topology to work around issues
with legacy operating systems. For Linux to get the correct topology we
need to use the new form 1 affinity information.
We set the form 1 field in the client architecture, and if we see "1" in the
ibm,associativity-form property firmware supports form 1 affinity and
we should look at the first field in the ibm,associativity-reference-points
array. If not we use the second field as we always have.

powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable
The change to __va and __pa to use PAGE_OFFSET & MEMORY_START causes
problems on the Book-E parts because we don't know MEMORY_START until
after we parse the device tree. We need __va to work properly to even
parse the device tree so we have a chicken an egg. So go back to using
he other definition of __va/__pa on CONFIG_BOOKE and use the
PAGE_OFFSET/MEMORY_START version on "Classic" PPC64.

unsigned long (ie 36-bit physical on PPC32).

This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a
technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory
available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit
scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some
memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and
the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor
may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and
instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon.
We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity)
expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into
virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with
virtio.
There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the
right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are
prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like
to get this driver upstream.
We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not
have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have
"upstream first" requirement.
The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on
VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it
will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional
risk in pulling the driver into mainline. The driver will only activate
if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

Atom erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41:
"If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE (page
directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through this
PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old TLB
entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses
this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then
it may fetch from a different physical address than specified by
either the old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page
translation. This erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from
incorrect addresses."

Where as commit 211b3d03c7400f48a781977a50104c9d12f4e229 seems to
workaround errata AAH41 (mixed 4K TLBs) it reduces the window of
opportunity for the bug to occur and does not totally remove it. This
patch disables mixed 4K/4MB page tables totally avoiding the page
splitting and not tripping this processor issue.
This is based on an original patch by Colin King.

When we do a thread switch, we clear the outgoing FS/GS base if the
corresponding selector is nonzero. This is taken by __switch_to() as
an entry invariant; it does not verify that it is true on entry.
However, copy_thread() doesn't enforce this constraint, which can
result in inconsistent results after fork().
Make copy_thread() match the behavior of __switch_to().
