Bruce Losure c2d1d65ad4 [IA64-SGI] Altix only: Remove hubdev SAL call
Hi Tony,

This patch against ia64-test-2.6.12 fixes a bug where the tiocx code
was inadvertently un-doing some address modifications done in earlier
fixup code.    This patch just removes the offending code.

David Mosberger-Tang 2074615a13 [IA64] use fc.i for fluch_icache_range()
This is a small patch to switch fluch_icache_range() to use fc.i
instead of fc.  This would save time on processors which can establish
i-cache coherency without flushing the cache-line out to memory (not
that any current processors do).  On existing processors, fc.i behaves
like fc.  The only caveat is that very old assemblers may not know
about fc.i yet.

Amy Griffis 3ac3ed555b [PATCH] fix ia64 syscall auditing
Attached is a patch against David's audit.17 kernel that adds checks
for the TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT thread flag to the ia64 system call and
signal handling code paths.The patch enables auditing of system
calls set up via fsys_bubble_down, as well as ensuring that
audit_syscall_exit() is called on return from sigreturn.

Neglecting to check for TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT at these points results in
incorrect information in audit_context, causing frequent system panics
when system call auditing is enabled on an ia64 system.

2fd6f58ba6 [AUDIT] Don't allow ptrace to fool auditing, log arch of audited syscalls.
We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments,
but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually
invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that.

While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it
take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made,
because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall.

Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for
the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register
rather than only returning a single register.

Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'.

[IA64] fix ia64 Kconfig to allow CONFIG_PM on sn2

This probably should have been fixed when I fixed up the generic build for
discontig+numa machines, but oh well.

CONFIG_PM is allowable for generic builds but not for sn2 builds, which
doesn't make much sense, and in fact breaks the build if recent ACPI bits are
added to the tree.  It looks like the only arch that needs to prevent
CONFIG_PM stuff is the ski simulator (though those options could probably use
some cleanup as well), so remove the big conditional and replace it with a
simple test for IA64_HP_SIM instead.

Kenji Kaneshige 24eeb568ae [IA64] vector sharing (Large I/O system support)
Current ia64 linux cannot handle greater than 184 interrupt sources
because of the lack of vectors. The following patch enables ia64 linux
to handle greater than 184 interrupt sources by allowing the same
vector number to be shared by multiple IOSAPIC's RTEs. The design of
this patch is besed on "Intel(R) Itanium(R) Processor Family Interrupt
Architecture Guide".

Even if you don't have a large I/O system, you can see the behavior of
vector sharing by changing IOSAPIC_LAST_DEVICE_VECTOR to fewer value.

David Mosberger-Tang a37d98f6a9 [IA64] fix syscall-optimization goof
Sadly, I goofed in this syscall-tuning patch:

  [IA64] Improve ia64_leave_syscall() for McKinley-type cores.

  Optimize ia64_leave_syscall() a bit better for McKinley-type cores.
  The patch looks big, but that's mostly due to renaming r16/r17 to r2/r3.
  Good for a 13 cycle improvement.

The problem is that the size of the physical stacked registers was
loaded into the wrong register (r3 instead of r17).  Since r17 by
coincidence always had the value 1, this had the effect of turning
rse_clear_invalid into a no-op.  That poses the risk of leaking kernel
state back to user-land and is hence not acceptable.

The fix below is simple, but unfortunately it costs us about 28 cycles
in syscall overhead. ;-(

Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about that since those
registers have to be cleared one way or another.

Alex Williamson 5f6602a101 [IA64] sba_iommu bug fixes
This fixes a couple of bugs in the zx1/sx1000 sba_iommu.  These are
all pretty low likelihood of hitting.  The first problem is a simple off
by one, deep in the sba_alloc_range() error path.  Surrounding that was
a lock ordering problem that could have potentially deadlocked with the
order the locks are grabbed in sba_unmap_single().  I moved the resource
locking into sba_search_bitmap() to prevent this.  Finally, there's a
potential race between unmapping pdir entries and marking incoming DMA
pages clean.  If you see any oddities, please let me know, but I've
tested it pretty thoroughly here.  Tony, please apply.  Thanks,

BTW, many of the options in this driver not on by default are becoming
more and more broken.  I'll be working on some patches to clean them
out, but I wanted to get this bug fix out first.

Robin Holt fde740e4dd [IA64] Percpu quicklist for combined allocator for pgd/pmd/pte.
This patch introduces using the quicklists for pgd, pmd, and pte levels
by combining the alloc and free functions into a common set of routines.
This greatly simplifies the reading of this header file.

This patch is simple but necessary for large numa configurations.
It simply ensures that only pages from the local node are added to a
cpus quicklist.  This prevents the trapping of pages on a remote nodes
quicklist by starting a process, touching a large number of pages to
fill pmd and pte entries, migrating to another node, and then unmapping
or exiting.  With those conditions, the pages get trapped and if the
machine has more than 100 nodes of the same size, the calculation of
the pgtable high water mark will be larger than any single node so page
table cache flushing will never occur.

I ran lmbench lat_proc fork and lat_proc exec on a zx1 with and without
this patch and did not notice any change.

On an sn2 machine, there was a slight improvement which is possibly
due to pages from other nodes trapped on the test node before starting
the run.  I did not investigate further.

This patch shrinks the quicklist based upon free memory on the node
instead of the high/low water marks.  I have written it to enable
preemption periodically and recalculate the amount to shrink every time
we have freed enough pages that the quicklist size should have grown.
I rescan the nodes zones each pass because other processess may be
draining node memory at the same time as we are adding.

Aaron J Young c1298c5c7e [IA64-SGI] Altix: enable poweroff
This patch adds the necessary "hook" to allow SGI/SN
machines to perform a system power off upon a 
'init 0', 'halt -p', 'poweroff' or 'shutdown -h'.

The "hook" is to set the pm_power_off callback
to ia64_sn_power_down(). pm_power_off is checked
in machine_power_off()/do_poweroff() and, if set, is executed. 
ia64_sn_power_down() is a function already present (but not 
used currently) in the sn kernel.
ia64_sn_power_down() makes a SAL call to execute the
power off.

Ashok Raj b8d8b883e6 [IA64] cpu hotplug: return offlined cpus to SAL
This patch is required to support cpu removal for IPF systems. Existing code
just fakes the real offline by keeping it run the idle thread, and polling
for the bit to re-appear in the cpu_state to get out of the idle loop.

For the cpu-offline to work correctly, we need to pass control of this CPU 
back to SAL so it can continue in the boot-rendez mode. This gives the
SAL control to not pick this cpu as the monarch processor for global MCA
events, and addition does not wait for this cpu to checkin with SAL
for global MCA events as well. The handoff is implemented as documented in 
SAL specification section 3.2.5.1 "OS_BOOT_RENDEZ to SAL return State"

Hugh Dickins 3bf5ee9564 [PATCH] freepgt: hugetlb_free_pgd_range
ia64 and ppc64 had hugetlb_free_pgtables functions which were no longer being
called, and it wasn't obvious what to do about them.

The ppc64 case turns out to be easy: the associated tables are noted elsewhere
and freed later, safe to either skip its hugetlb areas or go through the
motions of freeing nothing.  Since ia64 does need a special case, restore to
ppc64 the special case of skipping them.

The ia64 hugetlb case has been broken since pgd_addr_end went in, though it
probably appeared to work okay if you just had one such area; in fact it's
been broken much longer if you consider a long munmap spanning from another
region into the hugetlb region.

In the ia64 hugetlb region, more virtual address bits are available than in
the other regions, yet the page tables are structured the same way: the page
at the bottom is larger.  Here we need to scale down each addr before passing
it to the standard free_pgd_range.  Was about to write a hugely_scaled_down
macro, but found htlbpage_to_page already exists for just this purpose.  Fixed
off-by-one in ia64 is_hugepage_only_range.

Uninline free_pgd_range to make it available to ia64.  Make sure the
vma-gathering loop in free_pgtables cannot join a hugepage_only_range to any
other (safe to join huges?  probably but don't bother).

Hugh Dickins e0da382c92 [PATCH] freepgt: free_pgtables use vma list
Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level
clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its
long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level
page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on
ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables.

Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by
free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same
way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables.  This
brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled,
in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput).

Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region
instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and
can only be freed while it is touched by some vma.

Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted
from the clear_page_range levels.  (Most of free_pgtables' old code was
actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before
hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we
might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going
by vma should itself reduce latency.

But what if is_hugepage_only_range?  Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful
examination: put that off until a later patch of the series.

What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma?

And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables?  It's less clear to me now that
we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be
flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied? 
A shame to complicate it unnecessarily.

Special thanks to David Miller for time spent repairing my ceilings.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
