d0b79c54fc [POWERPC] Skip the "copy down" of the kernel if it is already at zero.
This patch allows the kernel to recognized that it was loaded at zero
and the copy down of the image is unnecessary.  This is useful for
Simulators and kexec models.
On a typical 3.8 MiB vmlinux.strip this saves about 2.3 million instructions.

c0ce7d0886 [POWERPC] Add the use of the firmware soft-reset-nmi to kdump.
With this patch, kdump uses the firmware soft-reset NMI for two purposes:
1) Initiate the kdump (take a crash dump) by issuing a soft-reset.
2) Break a CPU out of a deadlock condition that is detected during kdump
processing.

When a soft-reset is initiated each CPU will enter
system_reset_exception() and set its corresponding bit in the global
bit-array cpus_in_sr then call die(). When die() finds the CPU's bit set
in cpu_in_sr crash_kexec() is called to initiate a crash dump. The first
CPU to enter crash_kexec() is called the "crashing CPU". All other CPUs
are "secondary CPUs". The secondary CPU's pass through to
crash_kexec_secondary() and sleep. The crashing CPU waits for all CPUs
to enter via soft-reset then boots the kdump kernel (see
crash_soft_reset_check())

When the system crashes due to a panic or exception, crash_kexec() is
called by panic() or die(). The crashing CPU sends an IPI to all other
CPUs to notify them of the pending shutdown. If a CPU is in a deadlock
or hung state with interrupts disabled, the IPI will not be delivered.
The result being, that the kdump kernel is not booted. This problem is
solved with the use of a firmware generated soft-reset. After the
crashing_cpu has issued the IPI, it waits for 10 sec for all CPUs to
enter crash_ipi_callback(). A CPU signifies its entry to
crash_ipi_callback() by setting its corresponding bit in the
cpus_in_crash bit array. After 10 sec, if one or more CPUs have not set
their bit in cpus_in_crash we assume that the CPU(s) is deadlocked. The
operator is then prompted to generate a soft-reset to break the
deadlock. Each CPU enters the soft reset handler as described above.

Two conditions must be handled at this point:
1) The system crashed because the operator generated a soft-reset. See
2) The system had crashed before the soft-reset was generated ( in the
case of a Panic or oops).

The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() uses the state of the kexec_lock to
determine this state. If kexec_lock is already held then condition 2 is
true and crash_kexec_secondary() is called, else; this CPU is flagged as
the crashing CPU, the kexec_lock is acquired and crash_kexec() proceeds
as described above.

Each additional CPUs responding to the soft-reset will pass through
crash_kexec() to kexec_secondary(). All secondary CPUs call
crash_ipi_callback() readying them self's for the shutdown. When ready
they clear their bit in cpus_in_sr. The crashing CPU waits in
kexec_secondary() until all other CPUs have cleared their bits in
cpus_in_sr. The kexec kernel boot is then started.

910ab66b1c [POWERPC] spufs: fix MFC command queue purge
In the context save/restore code, the SPU MFC command queue purge
code has a bug:

static inline void wait_purge_complete(struct spu_state *csa, struct
				       spu *spu)
{
    struct spu_priv2 __iomem *priv2 = spu->priv2;

    /* Save, Step 28:
     *     Poll MFC_CNTL[Ps] until value '11' is
     *     read
     *      (purge complete).
     */
    POLL_WHILE_FALSE(in_be64(&priv2->mfc_control_RW)
		     & MFC_CNTL_PURGE_DMA_COMPLETE);
}

This will exit as soon as _one_ of the 2 bits that compose
MFC_CNTL_PURGE_DMA_COMPLETE is set, and one of them happens to be
"purge in progress"...  which means that we'll happily continue
restoring the MFC while it's being purged at the same time.

458148c00b [POWERPC] Setup RTAS values earlier, to enable rtas_call() earlier
Althought RTAS is instantiated when we enter the kernel, we can't actually
call into it until we know its entry point address. Currently we grab that
in rtas_initialize(), however that's quite late in the boot sequence.

To enable rtas_call() earlier, we can grab the RTAS entry etc. values while
we're scanning the flattened device tree. There's existing code to retrieve
the values from /chosen, however we don't store them there anymore, so remove
that code.

24da3dd534 [POWERPC] Make rtas_call() safe if RTAS hasn't been initialised
Currently it's unsafe to call rtas_call() prior to rtas_initialize(). This
is because the rtas.entry value hasn't been setup and so we don't know
where to enter, but we just try anyway.

We can't do anything intelligent without rtas.entry, so if it's not set, just
return. Code that calls rtas_call() early needs to be aware that the call
might fail.

5f50867b4f [POWERPC] kdump: Reserve the existing TCE mappings left by the first kernel
During kdump boot, noticed some machines checkstop on dma protection
fault for ongoing DMA left in the first kernel. Instead of initializing
TCE entries in iommu_init() for the kdump boot, this patch fixes this
issue by walking through the each TCE table and checks whether the
entries are in use by the first kernel. If so, reserve those entries by
setting the corresponding bit in tbl->it_map such that these entries
will not be available for the kdump boot.

However it could be possible that all TCE entries might be used up due
to the driver bug that does continuous mapping. My observation is around
1700 TCE  entries are used on some systems (Ex: P4) at some point of
time during kdump boot and saving dump (either write into the disk or
sending to remote machine). Hence, this patch will make sure that
minimum of 2048 entries will be available such that kdump boot could be
successful in some cases.

9c7b216d23 [PATCH] cpu hotplug: revert init patch submitted for 2.6.17
In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS.  I provided a
band-aid solution to solve that problem.  In the process, i undid all the

only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18.  Here is a set of patches that fixes the
XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time
(unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run
time.

76b67ed9dc [PATCH] node hotplug: register cpu: remove node struct
With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime.  I'm now
considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI.

I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before
memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add.

In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add.  But register_cpu(),
which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be
onlined before register_cpu().  When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be
there.

This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu
until node is onlined.

This removes node arguments from register_cpu().

Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument.  But the array of
struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug
patch).  We can get struct node in generic way.  So, this argument is not
necessary now.

This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined.  It
is necessary for node-hot-add vs.  cpu-hot-add patch following this.

Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard
to its 'struct node *root' argument.  This patch removes it.

Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed
by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

260a42309b [PATCH] Time: Let user request precision from current_tick_length()
Change the current_tick_length() function so it takes an argument which
specifies how much precision to return in shifted nanoseconds.  This provides
a simple way to convert between NTPs internal nanoseconds shifted by
(SHIFT_SCALE - 10) to other shifted nanosecond units that are used by the
clocksource abstraction.

0c6856f702 [PATCH] oprofile: Fix unnecessary cleverness
nmi_create_files() in arch/i386/oprofile/nmi_int.c depends on
model->num_counters (number of performance counters) being less than 10.
While this is currently the case, it's too clever by half.

Other archs aren't quite as clever: they assume 100.  I suggest to
normalize them all to 1000.

10-15 incorrect ones.

5474c120aa [PATCH] Rewritten backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computers
This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for
portable Apple computers.  Backward compatibility is retained.  A sysfs
interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than
before.  Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different
monitors, similar to Mac OS X.

68402ddc67 [PATCH] mm: remove VM_LOCKED before remap_pfn_range and drop VM_SHM
Remove VM_LOCKED before remap_pfn range from device drivers and get rid of
VM_SHM.

remap_pfn_range() already sets VM_IO.  There is no need to set VM_SHM since
it does nothing.  VM_LOCKED is of no use since the remap_pfn_range does not
place pages on the LRU.  The pages are therefore never subject to swap
anyways.  Remove all the vm_flags settings before calling remap_pfn_range.

After removing all the vm_flag settings no use of VM_SHM is left.  Drop it.
