Both usb.h and device.h have collections of convenience macros for
printk() with the KERN_ERR, KERN_WARNING, and KERN_NOTICE severity
levels. This patch adds macros for the KERN_NOTICE level which was
so far uncatered for.

These macros already exist privately in drivers/isdn/gigaset/gigaset.h
(currently in the process of being submitted for the kernel tree)
but they really belong with their brothers and sisters in
include/linux/{device,usb}.h.

The fw_realloc_buffer routine does not handle an increase in buffer size of
more than 4k.  It's not clear to me why it expects that it will only get an
extra 4k of data.  The attached patch modifies fw_realloc_buffer to vmalloc
as much memory as is requested, instead of what we previously had + 4k.

I've tested this on my laptop, which would crash occaisionally on boot
without the patch.  With the patch, it hasn't crashed, but I can't be
certain that this code path is exercised.

The module files, refcnt, version, and srcversion did not properly
increment the owner's module reference count, allowing the modules to
be removed while the files were open, causing oopses.

This patch fixes this, and also fixes the problem that the version and
srcversion files were not showing up, unless CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD was
enabled, which is not correct.

We only need to write an invalid tag every 16 bytes,
so taking advantage of this can save many instructions
compared to the simple memset() call we make now.

A prefetching implementation is implemented for sun4u
and a block-init store version if implemented for Niagara.

The next trick is to be able to perform an init and

Currently allocations are very constrained for 32-bit processes.
It grows down-up from 0x70000000 to 0xf0000000 which gives about
2GB of stack + dynamic mmap() space.

So support the top-down method, and we need to override the
generic helper function in order to deal with D-cache coloring.

With these changes I was able to squeeze out a mmap() just over
3.6GB in size in a 32-bit process.

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

This is good for up to %50 performance improvement of some test cases.
The problem has been the race conditions, and hopefully I've plugged
them all up here.

1) There was a serious race in switch_mm() wrt. lazy TLB
   switching to and from kernel threads.

   We could erroneously skip a tsb_context_switch() and thus
   use a stale TSB across a TSB grow event.

   There is a big comment now in that function describing
   exactly how it can happen.

2) All code paths that do something with the TSB need to be
   guarded with the mm->context.lock spinlock.  This makes
   page table flushing paths properly synchronize with both
   TSB growing and TLB context changes.

3) TSB growing events are moved to the end of successful fault
   processing.  Previously it was in update_mmu_cache() but
   that is deadlock prone.  At the end of do_sparc64_fault()
   we hold no spinlocks that could deadlock the TSB grow
   sequence.  We also have dropped the address space semaphore.

While we're here, add prefetching to the copy_tsb() routine
and put it in assembler into the tsb.S file.  This piece of
code is quite time critical.

There are some small negative side effects to this code which
can be improved upon.  In particular we grab the mm->context.lock
even for the tsb insert done by update_mmu_cache() now and that's
a bit excessive.  We can get rid of that locking, and the same
lock taking in flush_tsb_user(), by disabling PSTATE_IE around
the whole operation including the capturing of the tsb pointer
and tsb_nentries value.  That would work because anyone growing
the TSB won't free up the old TSB until all cpus respond to the
TSB change cross call.

I'm not quite so confident in that optimization to put it in
right now, but eventually we might be able to and the description
is here for reference.

This code seems very solid now.  It passes several parallel GCC
bootstrap builds, and our favorite "nut cruncher" stress test which is
a full "make -j8192" build of a "make allmodconfig" kernel.  That puts
about 256 processes on each cpu's run queue, makes lots of process cpu
migrations occur, causes lots of page table and TLB flushing activity,
incurs many context version number changes, and it swaps the machine
real far out to disk even though there is 16GB of ram on this test
system. :-)
