Newer versions of binutils mark '_end' as 'B' instead of 'A' for
whatever reason.

To be honest, the piggyback code doesn't actually care what kind
of symbol _start and _end are, it just wants to find them and
record the address.

So remove the type from the match strings.

This bug-fix makes sure that of_iomap is defined extern for sparc so that the
sparc-specific implementation of_iomap is once again used when including
include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. OF_GPIO that is now available for
sparc relies on this.

The bug was inadvertently introduced in a850a755, "of/address: add empty static
inlines for !CONFIG_OF", that added a static dummy inline for of_iomap when
!CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS. However, CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never defined for sparc, but
there is a sparc-specific implementation /arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c.

This fix takes the same approach as 0bce04be that solved the equivalent problem
for of_address_to_resource.

If a signal handler is executed on altstack and another signal comes,
we will end up with rt_sigreturn() on return from the second handler
getting -EPERM from do_sigaltstack().  It's perfectly OK, since we
are not asking to change the settings; in fact, they couldn't have been
changed during the second handler execution exactly because we'd been
on altstack all along.  64bit sigreturn on sparc treats any error from
do_sigaltstack() as "SIGSEGV now"; we need to switch to the same semantics
we are using on other architectures.

This bug-fix makes sure that of_address_to_resource is defined extern for sparc
so that the sparc-specific implementation of of_address_to_resource() is once
again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. A
number of drivers in mainline relies on this function working for sparc.

The bug was introduced in a850a755, "of/address:
add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF". Contrary to that commit title, the
static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never
defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in
include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in
drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However,
for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in
arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c

Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

For atomic backoff, we just loop over an exponentially backed off
counter.  This is extremely ineffective as it doesn't actually yield
the cpu strand so that other competing strands can use the cpu core.

In cpus previous to SPARC-T4 we have to do this in a slightly hackish
way, by doing an operation with no side effects that also happens to
mark the strand as unavailable.

The mechanism we choose for this is three reads of the %ccr
(condition-code) register into %g0 (the zero register).

SPARC-T4 has an explicit "pause" instruction, and we'll make use of
that in a subsequent commit.

Yield strands also in cpu_relax().  We really should have done this a
very long time ago.

The Montgomery Multiply, Montgomery Square, and Multiple-Precision
Multiply instructions work by loading a combination of the floating
point and multiple register windows worth of integer registers
with the inputs.

These values are 64-bit.  But for 32-bit userland processes we only
save the low 32-bits of each integer register during a register spill.
This is because the register window save area is in the user stack and
has a fixed layout.

Therefore, the only way to use these instruction in 32-bit mode is to
perform the following sequence:

1) Load the top-32bits of a choosen integer register with a sentinel,
   say "-1".  This will be in the outer-most register window.

   The idea is that we're trying to see if the outer-most register
   window gets spilled, and thus the 64-bit values were truncated.

2) Load all the inputs for the montmul/montsqr/mpmul instruction,
   down to the inner-most register window.

3) Execute the opcode.

4) Traverse back up to the outer-most register window.

5) Check the sentinel, if it's still "-1" store the results.
   Otherwise retry the entire sequence.

This retry is extremely troublesome.  If you're just unlucky and an
interrupt or other trap happens, it'll push that outer-most window to
the stack and clear the sentinel when we restore it.

We could retry forever and never make forward progress if interrupts
arrive at a fast enough rate (consider perf events as one example).
So we have do limited retries and fallback to software which is
extremely non-deterministic.

Luckily it's very straightforward to provide a mechanism to let
32-bit applications use a 64-bit stack.  Stacks in 64-bit mode are
biased by 2047 bytes, which means that the lowest bit is set in the
actual %sp register value.

So if we see bit zero set in a 32-bit application's stack we treat
it like a 64-bit stack.

Runtime detection of such a facility is tricky, and cumbersome at
best.  For example, just trying to use a biased stack and seeing if it
works is hard to recover from (the signal handler will need to use an
alt stack, plus something along the lines of longjmp).  Therefore, we
add a system call to report a bitmask of arch specific features like
this in a cheap and less hairy way.

There was a serious disconnect in the logic happening in
sparc_pmu_disable_event() vs. sparc_pmu_enable_event().

Event disable is implemented by programming a NOP event into the PCR.

However, event enable was not reversing this operation.  Instead, it
was setting the User/Priv/Hypervisor trace enable bits.

That's not sparc_pmu_enable_event()'s job, that's what
sparc_pmu_enable() and sparc_pmu_disable() do .

The intent of sparc_pmu_enable_event() is clear, since it first clear
out the event type encoding field.  So fix this by OR'ing in the event
encoding rather than the trace enable bits.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.

Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding.  The
lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation.  This is possible
because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
whatever encoding scheme we want.  We just have to make the TLB miss
assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.

set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table.  In the second regime
we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.

We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
in the future.

We've split up the PTE tables so that they take up half a page instead of
a full page.  This is in order to facilitate transparent huge page
support, which works much better if our PMDs cover 4MB instead of 8MB.

What we do is have a one-behind cache for PTE table allocations in the
mm struct.

This logic triggers only on allocations.  For example, we don't try to
keep track of free'd up page table blocks in the style that the s390 port
does.

There were only two slightly annoying aspects to this change:

1) Changing pgtable_t to be a "pte_t *".  There's all of this special
   logic in the TLB free paths that needed adjustments, as did the
   PMD populate interfaces.

2) init_new_context() needs to zap the pointer, since the mm struct
   just gets copied from the parent on fork.

The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page
support.

Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB.
 The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE
!= PMD_SIZE.

So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead of a full page.

We can still map properly the whole supported virtual address range which
on sparc64 requires 44 bits.  Add a compile time CPP test which ensures
that this requirement is always met.

There is a minor inefficiency added by this change.  We only use half of
the page for PTE tables.  It's not trivial to use only half of the page
yet still get all of the pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() stuff working
properly.  It is doable, and that will come in a subsequent change.

try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased.  And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.

The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
pages via free_pages_check.  A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
userspace.

This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
pool.

This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
is freed into the pool.

currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP

4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

This adds optimized memset/bzero/page-clear routines for Niagara-4.

We basically can do what powerpc has been able to do for a decade (via
the "dcbz" instruction), which is use cache line clearing stores for
bzero and memsets with a 'c' argument of zero.

As long as we make the cache initializing store to each 32-byte
subblock of the L2 cache line, it works.

As with other Niagara-4 optimized routines, the key is to make sure to
avoid any usage of the %asi register, as reads and writes to it cost
at least 50 cycles.

For the user clear cases, we don't use these new routines, we use the
Niagara-1 variants instead.  Those have to use %asi in an unavoidable
way.

A Niagara-4 8K page clear costs just under 600 cycles.

Add definitions of the MRU variants of the cache initializing store
ASIs.  By default, cache initializing stores install the line as Least
Recently Used.  If we know we're going to use the data immediately
(which is true for page copies and clears) we can use the Most
Recently Used variant, to decrease the likelyhood of the lines being
evicted before they get used.

things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
architectures.

We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
personality flags across exec().

This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently
by commits f9783ec8 ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on
exec") and 59e4c3a2 ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on
exec") in a similar way already).

When force_successful_syscall() triggers, the syscall return status
reported the ptrace applications gets garbled.

Fix this by reordering the events and tests in the ret_sys_call path.

After fixing a couple of brainos, it even seems to work.  What's done here
is move of ->syscall_noerror right before FPDEPTH byte in ->flags and
using sth to [%g6 + TI_SYS_NOERROR] instead of stb to [%g6 + TI_FPDEPTH] in
both branches of etrap_save.  AFAICS, that ought to be solid.  Again,
deciding what to do with now unused delay slot of branch on ->syscall_noerror
and dealing with the order of tests in ret_from_sys is a separate question,
but at least that way we don't have to clean ->syscall_noerror in there at
all.  AFAICS, it ought to be a clear win - sth is not going to cost more than
stb on etrap_64.S side of things, and we are losing write on syscalls.S one.

Ease the deployment of clkdev by providing a default asm/clkdev.h for
use if the arch does not have an include/asm/clkdev.h.

Due to limitations in Kbuild we manually add clkdev.h to all
architectures that don't have one rather than having the header appear
by default.
