0e568536d9 [MIPS] Use find_task_by_vpid in system calls
There are some places left in mips, that lookup task in initial namespace,
while the code doing so gets the pid from the user space and thus must
treat it as virtual.

4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

72a7fe3967 Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.

This patch:

Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.

Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

6c81c32f96 calibrate_delay() must be __cpuinit
calibrate_delay() must be __cpuinit, not __{dev,}init.

I've verified that this is correct for all users.

While doing the latter, I also did the following cleanups:
- remove pointless additional prototypes in C files
- ensure all users #include <linux/delay.h>

This fixes the following section mismatches with CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n,
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y:

9cfe015aa4 get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_open
NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
more than 1024*1024 handles.

Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.

Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
exhaust.

This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload
needs it.

4d672e7ac7 timerfd: new timerfd API
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

a055917e1b [MIPS] Fix build after b0rked changes to <linux/init.h>.
Commit 312b1485fb made __INIT_REFOK expand
into .section .section ".ref.text", "ax".  Since the assembler doesn't
tolerate stuttering in the source that broke all MIPS builds.

Since with this change Sam downgraded __INIT_REFOK the best fix is to
get replace it by the modern days operator.  With MIPS the only user
of __INIT_REFOK and __INITDATA_REFOK (which was equally broken) being
unused anyway these can be deleted but that's subject of a separate
commit.

619b6e18fc [MIPS] R4000/R4400 daddiu erratum workaround
This complements the generic R4000/R4400 errata workaround code and adds 
bits for the daddiu problem.  In most places it just modifies handwritten 
assembly code so that the assembler is allowed to use a temporary register 
as daddiu may now be treated as a macro that expands to a sequence of li 
and daddu.  It is the AT register or, where AT is unavailable or used 
explicitly for another purpose, an explicitly-named register is selected, 
using the .set at=<reg> feature added recently to gas.  This feature is 
only used if CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS has been set, so if the 
workaround remains disabled, the required version of binutils stays 
unchanged.

 Similarly, daddiu instructions put in branch delay slots in noreorder 
fragments are now taken out of them and the assembler is allowed to 
reorder them itself as possible (which it does making the whole idea of 
scheduling them into delay slots manually questionable).

 Also in the very few places where such a simple conversion was not 
possible, a handcoded longer sequence is implemented.

 Other than that there are changes to code responsible for building the 
TLB fault and page clear/copy handlers to avoid daddiu as appropriate.  
These are only effective if the erratum is verified to be present at the 
run time.

 Finally there is a trivial update to __delay(), because it uses daddiu in 
a branch delay slot.

20d60d9973 [MIPS] R4000/R4400 errata workarounds
This is the gereric part of R4000/R4400 errata workarounds.  They include 
compiler and assembler support as well as some source code modifications 
to address the problems with some combinations of multiply/divide+shift 
instructions as well as the daddi and daddiu instructions.

 Changes included are as follows:

1. New Kconfig options to select workarounds by platforms as necessary.

2. Arch top-level Makefile to pass necessary options to the compiler; also 
   incompatible configurations are detected (-mno-sym32 unsupported as 
   horribly intrusive for little gain).

3. Bug detection updated and shuffled -- the multiply/divide+shift problem 
   is lethal enough that if not worked around it makes the kernel crash in 
   time_init() because of a division by zero; the daddiu erratum might 
   also trigger early potentially, though I have not observed it.  On the 
   other hand the daddi detection code requires the exception subsystem to 
   have been initialised (and is there mainly for information).

4. r4k_daddiu_bug() added so that the existence of the erratum can be 
   queried by code at the run time as necessary; useful for generated code 
   like TLB fault and copy/clear page handlers.

5. __udelay() updated as it uses multiplication in inline assembly.

 Note that -mdaddi requires modified toolchain (which has been maintained 
by myself and available from my site for ~4years now -- versions covered 
are GCC 2.95.4 - 4.1.2 and binutils from 2.13 onwards).  The -mfix-r4000 
and -mfix-r4400 have been standard for a while though.

Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use

The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but
it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data
structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.

In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use

The __weak definition of plat_time_init was only ever meant to be a
migration helper to keep platforms that don't have a plat_time_init
compiling.  A few greps says that all platforms now supply their own
plat_time_init() so the weak definition is no longer needed.  So I
instead delete it.

cce335ae47 [MIPS] 64-bit Sibyte kernels need DMA32.
Sibyte SOCs only have 32-bit PCI.  Due to the sparse use of the address
space only the first 1GB of memory is mapped at physical addresses
below 1GB.  If a system has more than 1GB of memory 32-bit DMA will
not be able to reach all of it.

For now this patch is good enough to keep Sibyte users happy but it seems
eventually something like swiotlb will be needed for Sibyte.

In particular as-is it's not suited for multicore and mutiprocessors

5aa85c9fc4 [MIPS] Handle R4000/R4400 mfc0 from count register.
The R4000 and R4400 have an errata where if the cp0 count register is read
in the exact moment when it matches the compare register no interrupt will
be generated.

This bug may be triggered if the cp0 count register is being used as
clocksource and the compare interrupt as clockevent.  So a simple
workaround is to avoid using the compare for both facilities on the
affected CPUs.

This is different from the workaround suggested in the old errata documents;
at some opportunity probably the official version should be implemented
and tested.  Another thing to find out is which processor versions
exactly are affected.  I only have errata documents upto R4400 V3.0
available so for the moment the code treats all R4000 and R4400 as broken.

This is potencially a problem for some machines that have no other decent
clocksource available; this workaround will cause them to fall back to
another clocksource, worst case the "jiffies" source.

30e748a507 [MIPS] irq_cpu: use handle_percpu_irq handler to avoid dropping interrupts.
This matters to any sort of device that is wired to one of the CPU
interrupt pins on an SMP system.  Typically the scenario is most easily
triggered with the count/compare timer interrupt where the same interrupt
number and thus irq_desc is used on each processor.

   CPU A			CPU B

   do_IRQ()
   generic_handle_irq()
   handle_level_irq()
   spin_lock(desc_lock)
   set IRQ_INPROGRESS
   spin_unlock(desc_lock)
				do_IRQ()
				generic_handle_irq()
				handle_level_irq()
				spin_lock(desc_lock)
				IRQ_INPROGRESS set => bail out
   spin_lock(desc_lock)
   clear IRQ_INPROGRESS
   spin_unlock(desc_lock)

In case of the cp0 compare interrupt this means the interrupt will be
acked and not handled or re-armed on CPU b, so there won't be any timer
interrupt until the count register wraps around.

With kernels 2.6.20 ... 2.6.23 we usually were lucky that things were just
working right on VSMP because the count registers are synchronized on
bootup so it takes something that disables interrupts for a long time on
one processor to trigger this one.

For scenarios where an interrupt is multicasted or broadcasted over several
CPUs the existing code was safe and the fix will break it.  There is no
way to know in the interrupt controller code because it is abstracted from
the platform code.  I think we do not have such a setup currently, so this
should be ok.

8dfa741f14 [MIPS] Sibyte: Stop timers before programming next even.
We have no guarantee by the generic time code that the timer is stopped
when the ->next_event method is called.  Modifying the Timer Initial Count
register while the timer is enabled has UNPREDICTABLE effect according to
the BCM1250/BCM1125/BCM1125H User Manual.  So stop the timer before
reprogramming.

This is a paranoia fix; no ill effects have been observed previously.

622477533d [MIPS] Sibyte: Increase minimum oneshot timer interval to two ticks.
For the old minimum of a single tick a value of zero would be programmed
into the init value register which in the BCM1250/BCM1125/BCM1125H User
Manual in the Timer Special Cases section is documented to have
UNPREDICTABLE effect.

Observable sympthoms of this bug were hangs of several seconds on the
console during bootup and later if both dyntick and highres timer options
were activated.

In theory contiguous mode of the timers is also affected but in an act of
hopeless lack of realism I'll assume nobody will ever configure a KERNEL
for HZ > 500kHz but if so I leave that to evolution to sort out.

SR sets are a scarce resource and the expected usage pattern is that

098362e720 [MIPS] Add len and addr validation for MAP_FIXED mappings.
Mmap with MAP_FIXED was not validating the addr and len parameters.  This
leads to the failure of GCC's gcc.c-torture/execute/loop-2[fg].c testcases
when using the o32 ABI on a 64 bit kernel.

These testcases try to mmap 65536 bytes at 0x7fff8000 and then access all
the memory.  In 2.6.18 and 2.6.23.1 (and likely other versions as well)
the kernel maps the requested memory, but since half of it is above
0x80000000 a SIGBUS is generated when it is accessed.

This patch moves the len validation above the MAP_FIXED processing so that
it is always validated.  It also adds validation to the addr parameter for
MAP_FIXED mappings.

be5f1f2114 [MIPS] SMTC: Allow control over TC assignment to vpe0.
Modify the SMTC initialization code to allow boot-time specification not
only of how many VPEs and TCs to use, but also how many TCs out of the
allowed pool are to be bound to VPE 0.  The new boot option is "vpe0tcs=N",
where N is an integer.  Using it in combination with the existing options
allows arbitrary assignments across the 2 VPEs of a 34K.  e.g. "maxtcs=3
 vpe0tcs=1" forces VPE0 to have 1 TC, while VPE1 has 2, and "maxtcs=4
vpe0tcs=3" forces VPE0 to have 3 TCs, while VPE1 gets 1.  If no vpe0tcs
option is specified, the traditional algorithm of evenly dividing TCs
between available VPEs, with the odd "slop" going to VPE0, is retained.

The reason for doing this is to allow a finer balancing of TCs which can
handle I/O interrupts on Malta (those on VPE 0) and those which cannot.

The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and

The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
  represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
  the common prefix of the same name.

For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

60b0d65541 [MIPS] SYNC emulation for MIPS I processors
Userland, including the C library and the dynamic linker, is keen to use
the SYNC instruction, even for "generic" MIPS I binaries these days.
Which makes it less than useful on MIPS I processors.

This change adds the emulation, but as our do_ri() infrastructure was not
really prepared to take yet another instruction, I have rewritten it and
its callees slightly as follows.

Now there is only a single place a possible signal is thrown from.  The
place is at the end of do_ri().  The instruction word is fetched in
do_ri() and passed down to handlers.  The handlers are called in sequence
and return a result that lets the caller decide upon further processing.
If the result is positive, then the handler has picked the instruction,
but a signal should be thrown and the result is the signal number.  If the
result is zero, then the handler has successfully simulated the
instruction.  If the result is negative, then the handler did not handle
the instruction; to make it more obvious the calls do not follow the usual
0/-Exxx result convention they now return -1 instead of -EFAULT.

The calculation of the return EPC is now at the beginning.  The reason is
it is easier to handle it there as emulation callees may modify a register
and an instruction may be located in delay slot of a branch whose result
depends on the register.  It has to be undone if a signal is to be raised,
but it is not a problem as this is the slow-path case, and both actions
are done in single places now rather than the former being scattered
through emulation handlers.

The part of do_cpu() being covered follows the changes to do_ri().

cba4fbbff2 remove include/asm-*/ipc.h
All asm/ipc.h files do only #include <asm-generic/ipc.h>.

This patch therefore removes all include/asm-*/ipc.h files and moves the
contents of include/asm-generic/ipc.h to include/linux/ipc.h.

7dc0b22e3c core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe
For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
intellegently process a core.  This infrastructure however has some
shortcommings which can be enhanced.  Specifically:

1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
   when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
   consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
   at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
   restrictions.

2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
   user space helper as an argv array.  The real core limit of the uid of the
   crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
   is overridden to zero when called).

3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
   recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
   crash.  Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
   mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
   the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
   deadlock.

This patch:

Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe.  In the event that
core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

e4dc1b14d8 Use list_head in binfmt handling
Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's.  This leads
to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt().  The downside
is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt.  This is not a problem, since
the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF +
something distro enabled for you).

Test-booted, played with executable .txt files, modprobe/rmmod binfmt_misc.

8bb00d83d8 [MIPS] Increase cp0 compare clockevent min_delta_ns from 0x30 to 0x300.
Extremly low values are of dubious usefulness anyway but in this case
they actually were killing Qemu which simply wasn't able to complete
mips_next_event() within 0x30 100MHz cycles even on fast hosts.

a0f97e06a4 kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CC
The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.

This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.

One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.

Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k

Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.
