Enable DMI table parsing on ia64. Andi Kleen has a patch in his x86_64 tree which enables the use of i386 dmi_scan.c on x86_64. dmi_scan.c functions are being used by the drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c driver for autodetecting the ports or memory spaces where the IPMI controllers may be found. This patch adds equivalent changes for ia64 as to what is in the x86_64 tree. In addition, I reworked the DMI detection, such that on EFI-capable systems, it uses the efi.smbios pointer to find the table, rather than brute-force searching from 0xF0000. On non-EFI systems, it continues the brute-force search. My test system, an Intel S870BN4 'Tiger4', aka Dell PowerEdge 7250, with latest BIOS, does not list the IPMI controller in the ACPI namespace, nor does it have an ACPI SPMI table. Also note, currently shipping Dell x8xx EM64T servers don't have these either, so DMI is the only method for obtaining the address of the IPMI controller.

Add a hook so architectures can validate /dev/mem mmap requests. This is analogous to validation we already perform in the read/write paths. The identity mapping scheme used on ia64 requires that each 16MB or 64MB granule be accessed with exactly one attribute (write-back or uncacheable). This avoids "attribute aliasing", which can cause a machine check. Sample problem scenario: - Machine supports VGA, so it has uncacheable (UC) MMIO at 640K-768K - efi_memmap_init() discards any write-back (WB) memory in the first granule - Application (e.g., "hwinfo") mmaps /dev/mem, offset 0 - hwinfo receives UC mapping (the default, since memmap says "no WB here") - Machine check abort (on chipsets that don't support UC access to WB memory, e.g., sx1000) In the scenario above, the only choices are - Use WB for hwinfo mmap. Can't do this because it causes attribute aliasing with the UC mapping for the VGA MMIO space. - Use UC for hwinfo mmap. Can't do this because the chipset may not support UC for that region. - Disallow the hwinfo mmap with -EINVAL. That's what this patch does.

Currently, region numbers are defined in several files, with several names. For example, we have REGION_KERNEL in asm/page.h and RGN_KERNEL in pgtable.h We also have address definitions that should depend on the RGN_XXX macros, but are currently just long constants. The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them. (This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like operation on IA64). Thanks to David Mosberger for catching the change I missed in mmu_context.h.

Parenthesize "p" to avoid ambiguity. No callers have a problem today; this is just to clean up the bad form. Signed-off-by: NBjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NTony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Not only was this unused, but its somewhat eccentric declaration of "static inline const unsigned long" gives gcc4 heartburn. Signed-off-by: NTony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

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!
