The basic issue is to be able to do what hugetlbfs does but with
different page sizes for some other special filesystems; more
specifically, my need is:

 - Huge pages

 - SPE local store mappings using 64K pages on a 4K base page size
kernel on Cell

 - Some special 4K segments in 64K-page kernels for mapping a dodgy
type of powerpc-specific infiniband hardware that requires 4K MMU
mappings for various reasons I won't explain here.

The main issues are:

 - To maintain/keep track of the page size per "segment" (as we can
only have one page size per segment on powerpc, which are 256MB
divisions of the address space).

 - To make sure special mappings stay within their allotted
"segments" (including MAP_FIXED crap)

 - To make sure everybody else doesn't mmap/brk/grow_stack into a
"segment" that is used for a special mapping

Some of the necessary mechanisms to handle that were present in the
hugetlbfs code, but mostly in ways not suitable for anything else.

The patch relies on some changes to the generic get_unmapped_area()
that just got merged.  It still hijacks hugetlb callbacks here or
there as the generic code hasn't been entirely cleaned up yet but
that shouldn't be a problem.

So what is a slice ?  Well, I re-used the mechanism used formerly by our
hugetlbfs implementation which divides the address space in
"meta-segments" which I called "slices".  The division is done using
256MB slices below 4G, and 1T slices above.  Thus the address space is
divided currently into 16 "low" slices and 16 "high" slices.  (Special
case: high slice 0 is the area between 4G and 1T).

Doing so simplifies significantly the tracking of segments and avoids
having to keep track of all the 256MB segments in the address space.

While I used the "concepts" of hugetlbfs, I mostly re-implemented
everything in a more generic way and "ported" hugetlbfs to it.

Slices can have an associated page size, which is encoded in the mmu
context and used by the SLB miss handler to set the segment sizes.  The
hash code currently doesn't care, it has a specific check for hugepages,
though I might add a mechanism to provide per-slice hash mapping
functions in the future.

The slice code provide a pair of "generic" get_unmapped_area() (bottomup
and topdown) functions that should work with any slice size.  There is
some trickiness here so I would appreciate people to have a look at the
implementation of these and let me know if I got something wrong.

The code for demoting segments to 4K had some issues, like for example,
when using _PAGE_4K_PFN flag, the first CPU to hit it would do the
demotion, but other CPUs hitting the same page wouldn't properly flush
their SLBs if mmu_ci_restriction isn't set.  There are also potential
issues with hash_preload not handling _PAGE_4K_PFN.  All of these are
non issues on current hardware but might bite us in the future.

This patch thus fixes it by:

 - Taking the test comparing the mm and current CPU context page
sizes to decide to flush SLBs out of the mmu_ci_restrictions test
since that can also be triggered by _PAGE_4K_PFN pages

 - Due to the above being done all the time, demote_segment_4k
doesn't need update the context and flush the SLB

 - demote_segment_4k can be static and doesn't need an EXPORT_SYMBOL

 - Making hash_preload ignore anything that has either _PAGE_4K_PFN
or _PAGE_NO_CACHE set, thus avoiding duplication of the complicated
logic in hash_page() (and possibly making hash_preload a little bit
faster for the normal case).

This patch provides a debugfs knob to turn kprobes on/off

o A new file /debug/kprobes/enabled indicates if kprobes is enabled or
  not (default enabled)
o Echoing 0 to this file will disarm all installed probes
o Any new probe registration when disabled will register the probe but
  not arm it. A message will be printed out in such a case.
o When a value 1 is echoed to the file, all probes (including ones
  registered in the intervening period) will be enabled
o Unregistration will happen irrespective of whether probes are globally
  enabled or not.
o Update Documentation/kprobes.txt to reflect these changes. While there

The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the
CON_BOOT flag.  The implementation has some flaws though.  The major
problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore
any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel
command line).

This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot
console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will
become the default console instead.  This way the unregister call for the
boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the
handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly.
Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the
output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages.

The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly
disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically
with that patch.

I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances
found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed.  The
code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf).

Implement MSI support via RTAS (RTAS = run-time firmware on pSeries
machines).  For now we assumes that if the required RTAS tokens for
MSI are present, then we want to use the RTAS MSI routines.

When RTAS is managing MSIs for us, it will/may enable MSI on devices that
support it by default. This is contrary to the Linux model where a device
is in LSI mode until the driver requests MSIs.

To remedy this we add a pci_irq_fixup call, which disables MSI if they've
been assigned by firmware and the device also supports LSI. Devices that
don't support LSI at all will be left as is, drivers are still expected
to call pci_enable_msi() before using the device.

At the moment there is no pci_irq_fixup on pSeries, so we can just set it
unconditionally. If other platforms use the RTAS MSI backend they'll need
to check that still holds.

Currently our code to set up the data structures for a PCI host bridge
and create the mapping for its I/O window assumes that the window
starts at I/O port 0 on the PCI side.  If this is not true, we can end
up with I/O port numbers in the resources for PCI devices which will
cause an oops if a driver tries to access them via inb/outb etc.,
because there is no mapping for the corresponding addresses.

Normally the I/O window starts at 0, but there are some situations on
partitioned machines with a hypervisor where the window may not start
at 0.

This fixes the problem by allocating space for the range from 0 to the
end of the I/O window.  That is, hose->io_base_virt contains the
virtual address for I/O port 0 on the PCI bus, and thus the assumption
that hose->io_base_virt - pci_io_base is the offset between the
"global" I/O port numbers (those in the PCI device resources) and the
I/O port numbers on the PCI bus is maintained.

For PCI host bridges that are present at boot, we only map the portion
of that range that correspond to the bridge's I/O window.  For bridges
added after boot we ioremap the range from 0 to the end of the I/O
window, for now; in fact hot-added bridges should be using
reserve_phb_iospace() and __ioremap_explicit (so they get sensible
global port numbers), but we don't have the infrastructure yet to do
that (basically a free_phb_iospace() routine plus appropriate
locking).

Interestingly, this makes the two arms of the if statement in
get_bus_io_range do almost exactly the same thing; that function could
now be simplified in a further patch.

I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

The current get_unmapped_area code calls the f_ops->get_unmapped_area or the
arch one (via the mm) only when MAP_FIXED is not passed.  That makes it
impossible for archs to impose proper constraints on regions of the virtual
address space.  To work around that, get_unmapped_area() then calls some
hugetlbfs specific hacks.

This cause several problems, among others:

- It makes it impossible for a driver or filesystem to do the same thing
  that hugetlbfs does (for example, to allow a driver to use larger page sizes
  to map external hardware) if that requires applying a constraint on the
  addresses (constraining that mapping in certain regions and other mappings
  out of those regions).

- Some archs like arm, mips, sparc, sparc64, sh and sh64 already want
  MAP_FIXED to be passed down in order to deal with aliasing issues.  The code
  is there to handle it...  but is never called.

This series of patches moves the logic to handle MAP_FIXED down to the various
arch/driver get_unmapped_area() implementations, and then changes the generic
code to always call them.  The hugetlbfs hacks then disappear from the generic
code.

Since I need to do some special 64K pages mappings for SPEs on cell, I need to
work around the first problem at least.  I have further patches thus
implementing a "slices" layer that handles multiple page sizes through slices
of the address space for use by hugetlbfs, the SPE code, and possibly others,
but it requires that serie of patches first/

There is still a potential (but not practical) issue due to the fact that
filesystems/drivers implemeting g_u_a will effectively bypass all arch checks.
 This is not an issue in practice as the only filesystems/drivers using that
hook are doing so for arch specific purposes in the first place.

There is also a problem with mremap that will completely bypass all arch
checks.  I'll try to address that separately, I'm not 100% certain yet how,
possibly by making it not work when the vma has a file whose f_ops has a
get_unmapped_area callback, and by making it use is_hugepage_only_range()
before expanding into a new area.

Also, I want to turn is_hugepage_only_range() into a more generic
is_normal_page_range() as that's really what it will end up meaning when used
in stack grow, brk grow and mremap.

None of the above "issues" however are introduced by this patch, they are

This patch:
