This patch puts #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM around a check in vm_normal_page
that verifies that a pfn is valid.  This patch increases performance of the
page fault microbenchmark in lmbench by 13% and overall dbench performance
by 7% on s390x.  pfn_valid() is an expensive operation on s390 that needs a
high double digit amount of CPU cycles.  Nick Piggin suggested that
pfn_valid() involves an array lookup on systems with sparsemem, and
therefore is an expensive operation there too.

The check looks like a clear debug thing to me, it should never trigger on
regular kernels.  And if a pte is created for an invalid pfn, we'll find
out once the memory gets accessed later on anyway.  Please consider
inclusion of this patch into mm.

- Move alignment to page size of init data outside ifdef for BLK_DEV_INITRD.
  The reservation up to page size of memory after init data was previously
  not done if BLK_DEV_INITRD was undefined.
  This caused a kernel oops when init memory pages were freed after startup,
  data placed in the same page as the last init memory would also be freed
  and reused, with disastrous results.

- Use macros for initcalls and .text sections.

- Replace hardcoded page size constant with PAGE_SIZE define.

When the cpufreq driver starts up at boot time, it calls into the default
governor which might not be initialised yet.  This hurts when the
governor's worker function relies on memory that is not yet set up by its
init function.

This migrates all governors from module_init() to fs_initcall() when being
the default, as was already done in cpufreq_performance when it was the
only possible choice.  The performance governor is always initialized early
because it might be used as fallback even when not being the default.

Fixes at least one actual oops where ondemand is the default governor and
cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses the uninitialised kondemand_wq work-queue
during boot-time.

sysfs tries to keep dcache a strict subset of sysfs_dirent tree by
shooting down dentries when a node is removed, that is, no negative
dentry for sysfs.  However, the lookup function returned NULL and thus
created negative dentries when the target node didn't exist.

Make sysfs_lookup() return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) on lookup failure.  This

Dave Young reported warnings from lockdep that the workqueue API
can sometimes try to register lockdep classes with the same key
but different names. This is not permitted in lockdep.

Unfortunately, I was unaware of that restriction when I wrote
the code to debug workqueue problems with lockdep and used the
workqueue name as the lockdep class name. This can obviously
lead to the problem if the workqueue name is dynamic.

This patch solves the problem by always using a constant name
for the workqueue's lockdep class, namely either the constant
name that was passed in or a string consisting of the variable
name.

The compiler team did the hard work for this distilling a problem in
large fortran application which showed up when applied to a 290MB input
data set down to this instruction:

	ldfd f34=[r17],-8

Which they noticed incremented r17 by 0x10 rather than decrementing it
by 8 when the value in r17 caused an unaligned data fault.  I tracked
it down to some bad instruction decoding in unaligned.c. The code
assumes that the 'x' bit can determine whether the instruction is
an "ldf" or "ldfp" ... which it is for opcode=6 (see table 4-29 on
page 3:302 of the SDM).  But for opcode=7 the 'x' bit is irrelevent,
all variants are "ldf" instructions (see table 4-36 on page 3:306).

Note also that interpreting the instruction as "ldfp" means that the
"paired" floating point register (f35 in the example here) will also
be corrupted.

This patch restores the blackfin Hardware Performance Monitor Profiling
support that was killed by the combining of instrumentation menus in
commit 09cadedb.

Since there seems to be no good reason to behave differently from other
architectures, it now automatically selects the hardware performance
counters whenever the profiling is activated.

mach-common/irqpanic.c: pm_overflow calls pm_overflow_handler which is
in oprofile/op_model_bf533.c.  I doubt that setting HARDWARE_PM as "m"
will work at all, since the pm_overflow_handler should be in the core
kernel image because it is called by irqpanic.c.

Therefore, I change HARDWARE_PM from a tristate to a bool.

The whole arch/$(ARCH)/oprofile/ is built depending on CONFIG_OPROFILE. Since
part of the HARDWARE_PM support files sits in this directory, it makes sense to
also depend on OPROFILE, not only PROFILING. Since OPROFILE already depends on
PROFILING, it is correct to only depend on OPROFILE only.

Commit 09cadedb ("Combine
instrumentation menus in kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation") broke ARM
profiling support, since ARM has some extra Kconfig options and doesn't
just use the common OPROFILE/KPROBES config options.

Rather than just revert the thing outright, or add ARM-specific
knowledge to the generic Kconfig.instrumentation file (where the only
and whole point was to be generic, not too architecture-specific), this
just makes ARM not use the generic version, since it doesn't suit it.

So create an arm-specific version of Kconfig.instrumentation instead,
and use that.

In the current code, RTC_AIE doesn't work if the RTC relies on
CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC because the code sets the RTC_AIE flag in
hpet_set_rtc_irq_bit().  The interrupt handles does accidentally check
for RTC_PIE and not RTC_AIE when comparing the time which was set in
hpet_set_alarm_time().

I now verified on a test system here that without the patch applied,
the attached test program fails on a system that has HPET with
2.6.24-rc7-default. That's not critical since I guess the problem has
been there for several kernel releases, but as the fix is quite
obvious.

Configuration is CONFIG_RTC=y and CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y.

Denys Fedoryshchenko reported a bootup crash when he upgraded
his system from 3GB to 4GB RAM:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/7/9

the bug is due to HIGHMEM4G && SPARSEMEM kernels making pfn_to_page()
to return an invalid pointer when the pfn is in a memory hole. The
256 MB PCI aperture at the end of RAM was not mapped by sparsemem,
and hence the pfn was not valid. But set_highmem_pages_init() iterated
this range without checking the pfn's validity first.

this bug was probably present in the sparsemem code ever since sparsemem
has been introduced in v2.6.13. It was masked due to HIGHMEM64G using
larger memory regions in sparsemem_32.h:

 #ifdef CONFIG_X86_PAE
 #define SECTION_SIZE_BITS       30
 #define MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS       36
 #define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS        36
 #else
 #define SECTION_SIZE_BITS       26
 #define MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS       32
 #define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS        32
 #endif

which creates 1GB sparsemem regions instead of 64MB sparsemem regions.
So in practice we only ever created true sparsemem holes on x86 with
HIGHMEM4G - but that was rarely used by distros.

( btw., we could probably save 2MB of mem_map[]s on X86_PAE if we reduced
  the sparsemem region size to 256 MB. )

Commit 473980a9 added a call to clear
the SLB shadow buffer before registering it.  Unfortunately this means
that we clear out the entries that slb_initialize has previously set in
there.  On POWER6, the hypervisor uses the SLB shadow buffer when doing
partition switches, and that means that after the next partition switch,
each non-boot CPU has no SLB entries to map the kernel text and data,
which causes it to crash.

This fixes it by reverting most of 473980a9 and instead clearing the
3rd entry explicitly in slb_initialize.  This fixes the problem that
473980a9 was trying to solve, but without breaking POWER6.

Commit 5d2efba6 changed our iommu code
so that it always uses an iommu page size of 4kB.  That means with our
current code, drivers may do a dma_map_sg() of a 64kB page and obtain
a dma_addr_t that is only 4k aligned.

This works fine in most cases except for some infiniband HW it seems,
where they tell the HW about the page size and it ignores the low bits
of the DMA address.

This works around it by making our IOMMU code enforce a PAGE_SIZE alignment
for mappings of objects that are page aligned in the first place and whose
size is larger or equal to a page.

CERR reports errors detected during executing a command.  This doesn't
mean the error is tied to the command and can be recovered by just
issuing it again.  Many of the errors are fatal port-wide connditions
including HSM violation, host bus error and ATA bus error and require
freezing and port reset.

The freezing part wasn't implemented previously.  This used to be okay
because port resets were scheduled anyway and EH eventually resets and
recovers the port.  With PMP support added, this is no longer true.
The error condition and recover actions are attributed to the fan-out
port and the host port condition isn't properly recovered leading to
EH failures.

This patch makes CERR errors which require resets to freeze the port.
This will force host port reset and proper recovery.
