c8aa72633e [POWERPC] bootwrapper: Make ft_get_phandle() accept and return NULL.
Currently, if ft_get_phandle() is passed NULL it will allocate an entry
for it and return a non-NULL phandle.  This patch makes it simply pass
the NULL through.

7c71c04625 [POWERPC] bootwrapper: Add ft_root_node().
Clean up some of the open-coded data structure references by providing a
function to return a pointer to the tree's root node.  This is only used
in high-level functions trying to access the root of the tree, not in
low-level code that is actually manipulating the data structure.

cd197ffcf1 [POWERPC] zImage: Cleanup and improve zImage entry point
This patch re-organises the way the zImage wrapper code is entered, to
allow more flexibility on platforms with unusual entry conditions.
After this patch, a platform .o file has two options:

1) It can define a _zimage_start, in which case the platform code gets
   control from the very beginning of execution.  In this case the
   platform code is responsible for relocating the zImage if necessary,
   clearing the BSS, performing any platform specific initialization, and
   finally calling start() to load and enter the kernel.

2) It can define platform_init().  In this case the generic crt0.S
   handles initial entry, and calls platform_init() before calling
   start().  The signature of platform_init() is changed, however, to
   take up to 5 parameters (in r3..r7) as they come from the platform's
   initial loader, instead of a fixed set of parameters based on OF's
   usage.

   When using the generic crt0.S, the platform .o can optionally
   supply a custom stack to use, using the BSS_STACK() macro.  If this
   is not supplied, the crt0.S will assume that the loader has
   supplied a usable stack.

In either case, the platform code communicates information to the
generic code (specifically, a PROM pointer for OF systems, and/or an
initrd image address supplied by the bootloader) via a global
structure "loader_info".

In addition the wrapper script is rearranged to ensure that the
platform .o is always linked first.  This means that platforms where
the zImage entry point is at a fixed address or offset, rather than
being encoded in the binary header can be supported using option (1).

79c8541924 [POWERPC] zImage: Cleanup and improve prep_kernel()
This patch rewrites prep_kernel() in the zImage wrapper code to be
clearer and more flexible.  Notable changes:

	- Handling of the initrd image from prep_kernel() has moved
into a new prep_initrd() function.
	- The address of the initrd image is now added as device tree
properties, as the kernel expects.
	- We only copy a packaged initrd image to a new location if it
is in danger of being clobbered when the kernel moves to its final
location, instead of always.
	- By default we decompress the kernel directly to address 0,
instead of requiring it to relocate itself.  Platforms (such as OF)
where doing this could clobber still-live firmware data structures can
override the vmlinux_alloc hook to provide an alternate place to
decompress the kernel.
	- We no longer pass lots of information between functions in
global variables.

ad9d2716cf [POWERPC] zImage: Add more flexible gunzip convenience functions
At present, arch/powerpc/boot/main.c includes a gunzip() function
which is a convenient wrapper around zlib.  However, it doesn't
conveniently allow decompressing part of an image to one location,
then the remainder to a different address.

This patch adds a new set of more flexible convenience wrappers around
zlib, moving them to their own file, gunzip_util.c, in the process.
These wrappers allow decompressing sections of the compressed image to
different locations.  In addition, they transparently handle
uncompressed data, avoiding special case code to handle uncompressed
vmlinux images.

The patch also converts main.c to use the new wrappers, using the new
flexibility to avoid decompressing the vmlinux's ELF header twice as
we did previously.  That in turn means we avoid extending our
allocations for the vmlinux to allow space for the extra copy of the
ELF header.

618d3adc35 [POWERPC] DMA 4GB boundary protection
There are many adapters which can not handle DMAing acrosss any 4 GB
boundary.  For instance the latest Emulex adapters.

This normally is not an issue as firmware gives us dma-windows under
4gigs.  However, some of the new System-P boxes have dma-windows above
4gigs, and this present a problem.

I propose fixing it in the IOMMU allocation instead of making each
driver protect against it as it is more efficient, and won't require
changing every driver which has not considered this issue.

This patch checks to see if the mapping spans a 4 gig boundary, and if
it does, retries the allocation.  It tries the next allocation at the
start of the crossed 4 gig boundary.

30437b3e74 [POWERPC] Automatically lmb_reserve() initrd
At present, when an initrd is passed to the kernel used flat device
tree properties, the memory the initrd occupies must also be reserved
in the flat tree's reserve map, or the kernel may overwrite it.  That
makes life more complicated than it could be for the bootwrapper.

This patch makes the kernel automatically reserve the initrd's space.
That in turn requires parsing the initrd parameters earlier than they
are currently, in early_init_dt_scan_chosen() instead of
check_for_initrd().

eb6de28637 [POWERPC] Allow duplicate lmb_reserve() calls
At present calling lmb_reserve() (and hence lmb_add_region()) twice
for exactly the same memory region will cause strange behaviour.

This makes life difficult when booting from a flat device tree with
memory reserve map.  Which regions are automatically reserved by the
kernel has changed over time, so it's quite possible a newer kernel
could attempt to auto-reserve a region which is also explicitly listed
in the device tree's reserve map, leading to trouble.

This patch avoids the problem by making lmb_reserve() ignore a call to
reserve a previously reserved region.  It also removes a now redundant
test designed to avoid one specific case of the problem noted above.

At present, this patch deals only with duplicate reservations of an
identical region.  Attempting to reserve two different, but
overlapping regions will still cause problems.  I might post another
patch later dealing with this case, but I'm avoiding it now since it
is substantially more complicated to deal with, less likely to occur
and more likely to indicate a genuine bug elsewhere if it does occur.

bb72c481e9 [POWERPC] Harden validate_sp against stack corruption
If something has overflowed or corrupted the stack and causes an oops,
and we try to print a stack trace, that will call validate_sp, which
can itself cause an oops if the cpu field of the thread_info struct at
the bottom of the stack has been corrupted (if CONFIG_IRQSTACKS is
set).  This makes debugging harder.

To avoid the second oops, this adds a check to make sure that the cpu
number is reasonable before using it to check whether the stack is on
the softirq or hardirq stack.

cee87af2a5 [IA64] kexec: Use EFI_LOADER_DATA for ELF core header
The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary
kernel as a kernel command line option.  The memory area for this header is
also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64.

The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type
EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY.  With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the
entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory.
If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have
data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will
never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it.

So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor
type into EFI_LOADER_DATA.  This type is the same type used for the kernel
data and for initramfs.  In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF
core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image.

This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen.  Pretty
straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory().  The address for
the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the
specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size().

The kexec-tools-testing code for this can be found here:

41d5e5d73e [IA64] permon use-after-free fix
Perfmon associates vmalloc()ed memory with a file descriptor, and installs
a vma mapping that memory.  Unfortunately, the vm_file field is not filled
in, so processes with mappings to that memory do not prevent the file from
being closed and the memory freed.  This results in use-after-free bugs and
multiple freeing of pages, etc.

I saw this bug on an Altix on SLES9.  Haven't reproduced upstream but it
looks like the same issue is there.

a27e5a13d5 [IA64] always build arch/ia64/lib/xor.o
Always build ia64 xor.o because multiple config options now depend on it.

Necessary to build .20-mm* on ia64 when, e.g., CONFIG_ASYNC_TX_DMA is
defined.  Don't know if '_ASYNC_TX_DMA makes sense on ia64.  If not, maybe
Kconfig should preclude it.

Could have defined a Kconfig option that defaults to true if MD_RAID456 ||
ASYNC_TX_DMA to control building of xor.o, but xor.o is only 848 bytes and
this IS ia64...
