When debugging early kernel crashes that happen after console_init() and
before a proper console driver takes over, we often have to go hack into
udbg.c to prevent it from unregistering so we can "see" what is
happening. This patch adds a kernel command line option "udbg-immortal"
instead to avoid having to modify the kernel.

This patch attempts to handle RTAS "busy" return codes in a more simple
and consistent manner.  Typical callers of RTAS shouldn't have to
manage wait times and delay calls.

This patch also changes the kernel to use msleep() rather than udelay()
when a runtime delay is necessary.  This will avoid CPU soft lockups
for extended delay conditions.

Our MMU hash management code would not set the "C" bit (changed bit) in
the hardware PTE when updating a RO PTE into a RW PTE. That would cause
the hardware to possibly to a write back to the hash table to set it on
the first store access, which in addition to being a performance issue,
might also hit a bug when running with native hash management (non-HV)
as our code is specifically optimized for the case where no write back
happens.

Thus there is a very small therocial window were a hash PTE can become
corrupted if that HPTE has just been upgraded to read write, a store
access happens on it, and that races with another processor evicting
that same slot. Since eviction (caused by an almost full hash) is
extremely rare, the bug is very unlikely to happen fortunately.

This fixes by allowing the updating of the protection bits in the native
hash handling to also set (but not clear) the "C" bit, and, in order to
also improve performances in the general case, by always setting that
bit on newly inserted hash PTE so that writeback really never happens.

This patch cleans up some locking & error handling in the ppc vdso and
moves the vdso base pointer from the thread struct to the mm context
where it more logically belongs. It brings the powerpc implementation
closer to Ingo's new x86 one and also adds an arch_vma_name() function
allowing to print [vsdo] in /proc/<pid>/maps if Ingo's x86 vdso patch is

I do not understand why historically these tags has been defined as
PPC_PTRACE_GETREGS and PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS instead of simply
PTRACE_[GS]ETREGS. The other "originality" is that the address must be

A proper fix would involve introducing the notion of shared caches but
at this stage of 2.6.17 that's going to be too intrusive and not needed
for current hardware; aside I think some discussion will be needed.

So for now on the affected SMP configurations which happen to suffer from
cache aliases we make use of the fact that a single cache will be shared
by all processors.  This solves the deadlock issue and will improve
performance by getting rid of the smp_call_function overhead.

Actually, we just stumbled on a different bug found in find_e820_area() in
e820.c.  The following code does not handle the edge condition correctly:

   while (bad_addr(&addr, size) && addr+size < ei->addr + ei->size)
       ;
   last = addr + size;
   if ( last > ei->addr + ei->size )
       continue;

The second statement in the while loop needs to be a <= b so that it is the
logical negavite of the if (a > b) outside it. It needs to read:

   while (bad_addr(&addr, size) && addr+size <= ei->addr + ei->size)
       ;

In the case that failed bad_addr was returning an address that is exactly size
bellow the end of the e820 range.

The PM timer code updates vxtime.last_tsc, but this update was done
incorrectly in two ways:
- offset_delay being in microseconds requires multiplying with cpu_mhz

- the multiplication of offset_delay and cpu_khz (both being 32-bit
  values) on most current CPUs would overflow (observed value of the
  delay was approximately 4000us, yielding an overflow for frequencies

Now it uses the 8bit of randomness native i386 would use too.
