a4c28ab744 [POWERPC] Fix return from pte_alloc_one() in out-of-memory case
pte_alloc_one() is expected to return NULL if out of memory.
But it returns virt_to_page(NULL), which is not NULL.
This fixes it.

6ad8d010b2 [POWERPC] Fix possible access to free pages
I think we have a subtle race on ppc64 with the tlb batching.  The
common code expects tlb_flush() to actually flush any pending TLB
batch.  It does that because it delays all page freeing until after
tlb_flush() is called, in order to ensure no stale reference to
those pages exist in any TLB, thus causing potential access to
the freed pages.

However, our tlb_flush only triggers the RCU for freeing page
table pages, it does not currently trigger a flush of a pending
TLB/hash batch, which is, I think, an error.  This fixes it.

The <linux/serial_core.h> header refers to handle_sysrq(), but does not

d7083174a2 ALPHA: misc fixes
1. arch/alpha/Kconfig

   several adjustments:
      a) additions to the systems list and cleanup of same
      b) change limits of NR_CPUS and make dep. on platform

   Note that MARVEL support is limited to 32 CPUs whan using
   42-bit KSEG - one needs 48-bit KSEG to handle up to 64, and
   we've never supported 48-bit KSEG.

2. include/asm-alpha/core_wildfire.h

   fix a typo that undoubtedly prevents WILDFIRE support
   from working

5ae0b6c704 ALPHA: correct low-level I/O routines for sable-lynx
This code corrects the behavior of the t2_readX/t2_writeX routines,
and t2_ioreadNN/t2_iowriteNN routines.

The value T2_DENSE_MEM is now subtracted from the "xaddr" argument in
each of the readX/writeX routines, since those routines may be called
directly, rather than always through the ioreadNN/iowriteNN routines.

Examples of the direct calls, via the __raw_readX/writeX macros, are
the memcpy_fromio/toio, _memset_c_io, and scr_memcpyw routines.

025a22151c ALPHA: support graphics on non-zero PCI domains
This code replaces earlier and incomplete handling of graphics on non-zero PCI
domains (aka hoses or peer PCI buses).

An option (CONFIG_VGA_HOSE) is set TRUE if configuring a GENERIC kernel, or a
kernel for MARVEL, TITAN, or TSUNAMI machines, as these are the machines whose
SRM consoles are capable of configuring and handling graphics options on
non-zero hoses.  All other machines have the option set FALSE.

A routine, "find_console_vga_hose()", is used to find the graphics device
which the machine's firmware believes is the console device, and it sets a
global (pci_vga_hose) for later use in managing access to the device.  This is
called in "init_arch" on TITAN and TSUNAMI machines; MARVEL machines use a
custom version of this routine because of extra complexity.

A routine, "locate_and_init_vga()", is used to find the graphics device and
set a global (pci_vga_hose) for later use in managing access to the device, in
the case where "find_console_vga_hose" has failed.

Various adjustments are made to the ioremap and ioportmap routines for
detecting and translating "legacy" VGA register and memory references to the
real PCI domain.

184b812f7d PCI: quirk disable MSI on via vt3351
The Via VT3351 APIC does not play well with MSI and unleashes a flood
of APIC errors when MSI is used to deliver interrupts.  The problem
was recently exposed when the atl1 network device driver, which enables
MSI by default, stimulated APIC errors on an Asus M2V mainboard, which
employs the Via VT3351.
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8472 for additional
details on this bug.

eth0: No interrupt was generated using MSI, switching to INTx mode.  Please

labeled as a Broadcom chipset as well) bridge chips.  It doesn't appear MSI

eaad084bb0 NOHZ: prevent multiplication overflow - stop timer for huge timeouts
get_next_timer_interrupt() returns a delta of (LONG_MAX > 1) in case
there is no timer pending. On 64 bit machines this results in a
multiplication overflow in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick().

Reported by: Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Make the return value a constant and limit the return value to a 32 bit
value.

When the max timeout value is returned, we can safely stop the tick
timer device. The max jiffies delta results in a 12 days timeout for
HZ=1000.

In the long term the get_next_timer_interrupt() code needs to be
reworked to return ktime instead of jiffies, but we have to wait until
the last users of the original NO_IDLE_HZ code are converted.

4096b46f01 sparc64: fix alignment bug in linker definition script
The RO_DATA section were hardcoded to a specific
alignment in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.h.
But for sparc64 this did not match the PAGE_SIZE.

Introduce a new section definition named:
RO_DATA that takes actual alignment as parameter.
RODATA are provided for backward compatibility.

On top of this avoid hardcoding alignment for
sparc64 in reset of the script
Fix is build-tested on sparc64 + x86_64.

7db35f31cb [SPARC64]: Fill holes in hypervisor APIs and fix KTSB registry.
Several interfaces were missing and others misnumbered or
improperly documented.

Also, make sure to check the return value when registering
the kernel TSBs with the hypervisor.  This helped to find
the 4MB kernel TSB alignment bug fixed in a previous changeset.

2d9e2763c2 [SPARC64]: Fix two bugs wrt. kernel 4MB TSB.
1) The TSB lookup was not using the correct hash mask.

2) It was not aligned on a boundary equal to it's size,
   which is required by the sun4v Hypervisor.

wasn't having it's return value checked, and that bug will be fixed up
as well in a subsequent changeset.

22adb358e8 [SPARC64]: Eliminate NR_CPUS limitations.
Cheetah systems can have cpuids as large as 1023, although physical
systems don't have that many cpus.

Only three limitations existed in the kernel preventing arbitrary
NR_CPUS values:

1) dcache dirty cpu state stored in page->flags on
   D-cache aliasing platforms.  With some build time
   calculations and some build-time BUG checks on
   page->flags layout, this one was easily solved.

2) The cheetah XCALL delivery code could only handle
   a cpumask with up to 32 cpus set.  Some simple looping
   logic clears that up too.

3) thread_info->cpu was a u8, easily changed to a u16.

There are a few spots in the kernel that still put NR_CPUS
sized arrays on the kernel stack, but that's not a sparc64
specific problem.
