Add ctnetlink subsystem for userspace-access to ip_conntrack table.
This allows reading and updating of existing entries, as well as
creating new ones (and new expect's) via nfnetlink.
Please note the 'strange' byte order: nfattr (tag+length) are in host
byte order, while the payload is always guaranteed to be in network
byte order. This allows a simple userspace process to encapsulate netlink
messages into arch-independent udp packets by just processing/swapping the
headers and not knowing anything about the actual payload.

This removes the private element from skbuff, that is only used by
HIPPI. Instead it uses skb->cb[] to hold the additional data that is
needed in the output path from hard_header to device driver.
PS: The only qdisc that might potentially corrupt this cb[] is if
netem was used over HIPPI. I will take care of that by fixing netem
to use skb->stamp. I don't expect many users of netem over HIPPI

Remove the "list" member of struct sk_buff, as it is entirely
redundant. All SKB list removal callers know which list the
SKB is on, so storing this in sk_buff does nothing other than
taking up some space.

As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller. I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.
The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit. Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them. Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.
Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(
The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.
- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field. IPVS maintainers can
decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

It appears that a memory barrier soon after a mispredicted
branch, not just in the delay slot, can cause the hang
condition of this cpu errata.
So move them out-of-line, and explicitly put them into
a "branch always, predict taken" delay slot which should
fully kill this problem.

When the spinlock routines were moved out of line into
kernel/spinlock.c this made it so that the debugging
spinlocks record lock acquisition program counts in the
kernel/spinlock.c functions not in their callers.
This makes the debugging info kind of useless.
So record the correct caller's program counter and
now this feature is useful once more.

Current uncorrectable error handling was poor enough
that the processor could just loop taking the same
trap over and over again. Fix things up so that we
at least get a log message and perhaps even some register
state.
In the process, much consolidation became possible,
particularly with the correctable error handler.
Prefix assembler and C function names with "spitfire"
to indicate that these are for Ultra-I/II/IIi/IIe only.
More work is needed to make these routines robust and

* ieee1394_device_id has kernel_ulong_t field after an odd number of
__u32 ones. Since mod_devicetable.h is included both from kernel and
from host build helper, we may be in trouble if we are building on
32bit host for 64bit target - userland sees unsigned long long,
kernel sees unsigned long and while their sizes match, alignments
might not. Fixed by forcing alignment. Fortunately, almost nobody
else needs that - the rest of such fields is naturally aligned as it
is.
* of_device_id has void * in it. Host userland helpers need
kernel_ulong_t instead, since their void * might have nothing to do

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

Relax address restrictions for hugepages on ppc64
Presently, 64-bit applications on ppc64 may only use hugepages in the
address region from 1-1.5T. Furthermore, if hugepages are enabled in
the kernel config, they may only use hugepages and never normal pages
in this area. This patch relaxes this restriction, allowing any
address to be used with hugepages, but with a 1TB granularity. That
is if you map a hugepage anywhere in the region 1TB-2TB, that entire
area will be reserved exclusively for hugepages for the remainder of
the process's lifetime. This works analagously to hugepages in 32-bit
applications, where hugepages can be mapped anywhere, but with 256MB
(mmu segment) granularity.
This patch applies on top of the four level pagetable patch
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc64/patch?id=1936).

abs_to_phys() is a macro that turns out to do nothing, and also has the
unfortunate property that it's not the inverse of phys_to_abs() on iSeries.
The following is for my benefit as much as everyone else.
With CONFIG_MSCHUNKS enabled, the lmb code is changed such that it keeps
a physbase variable for each lmb region. This is used to take the possibly
discontiguous lmb regions and present them as a contiguous address space
beginning from zero.
In this context each lmb region's base address is its "absolute" base
address, and its physbase is it's "physical" address (from Linux's point of
view). The abs_to_phys() macro does the mapping from "absolute" to "physical".
Note: This is not related to the iSeries mapping of physical to absolute
(ie. Hypervisor) addresses which is maintained with the msChunks structure.
And the msChunks structure is not controlled via CONFIG_MSCHUNKS.
Once upon a time you could compile for non-iSeries with CONFIG_MSCHUNKS
enabled. But these days CONFIG_MSCHUNKS depends on CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES, so
for non-iSeries code abs_to_phys() is a no-op.
On iSeries we always have one lmb region which spans from 0 to
systemcfg->physicalMemorySize (arch/ppc64/kernel/iSeries_setup.c line 383).
This region has a base (ie. absolute) address of 0, and a physbase address
of 0 (as calculated in lmb_analyze() (arch/ppc64/kernel/lmb.c line 144)).
On iSeries, abs_to_phys(aa) is defined as lmb_abs_to_phys(aa), which finds
the lmb region containing aa (and there's only one, ie. 0), and then does:
return lmb.memory.region[0].physbase + (aa - lmb.memory.region[0].base)
physbase == base == 0, so you're left with "return aa".
So remove abs_to_phys(), and lmb_abs_to_phys() which is the implementation
of abs_to_phys() for iSeries.

The lmb code is all written to use a pointer to an lmb struct. But it's always
the same lmb struct, called "lmb". So we take the address of lmb, call it
_lmb and then start using _lmb->foo everywhere, which is silly.
This patch removes the _lmb pointers and replaces them with direct references
to the one "lmb" struct. We do the same for some _mem and _rsv pointers which
point to lmb.memory and lmb.reserved respectively.
This patch looks quite busy, but it's basically just:
s/_lmb->/lmb./g
s/_mem->/lmb.memory./g
s/_rsv->/lmb.reserved./g
s/_rsv/&lmb.reserved/g
