The Cell CPU timebase has an erratum. When reading the entire 64 bits
of the timebase with one mftb instruction, there is a handful of cycles
window during which one might read a value with the low order 32 bits
already reset to 0x00000000 but the high order bits not yet incremeted
by one. This fixes it by reading the timebase again until the low order
32 bits is no longer 0. That might introduce occasional latencies if
hitting mftb just at the wrong time, but no more than 70ns on a cell
blade, and that was considered acceptable.

This patch adds support for feature fixups in modules. This involves
adding support for R_PPC64_REL64 relocs to the 64 bits module loader.
It also modifies modpost.c to ignore the powerpc fixup sections (or it
would warn when used in .init.text).

This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up.
The main issue was that the construct:
.long label (or .llong on 64 bits)
will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will
generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc,
which is not something we can deal with in the vdso.
The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like:
1:
.long label - 1b
That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of
code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry
itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've
modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest
of the kernel as well.
Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel
need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not
support 32 bits code with a statement of the form:
.llong label - 1b (Or even just .llong label)
That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use
to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific
case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are
using a modified macro that generates:
.long 0xffffffff
.llong label - 1b
Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by
the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always
before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the
other way around).

There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the
feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In
addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations
for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and
separately for 32 and 64 bits.
This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are
slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from
assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any
problem.

In calculating stolen time, we were trying to actually account for time
spent in the hypervisor. We don't really have enough information to do
that accurately, so don't try. Instead, we now calculate stolen time as
time that the current cpu thread is not actually dispatching instructions.
On chips without a PURR, we cannot do this, so stolen time will always
be zero. On chips with a PURR, this is merely the difference between
the elapsed PURR values and the elapsed TB values.
This gives us much more sane vaules from tools such as mpstat, even if
they are still a bit strange e.g. 2 busy threads on one cpu will both
appear to have 50% user time and 50% stolen time while 1 busy thread on
a cpu will look like 100% user on one of them and 100% idle on the other.

By default route the 8254 over the 8259 and only disable
it on ATI boards where this causes double timer interrupts.
This should unbreak some Nvidia boards where the timer doesn't
seem to tick of it isn't enabled in the 8259. At least one
VIA board also seemed to have a little trouble with the disabled
8259.
For 2.6.20 we'll try both dynamically without black listing, but I think
for .19 this is the safer approach because it has been already well tested
in earlier kernels. This also makes the x86-64 behaviour the same
as i386.
Command line options can change all this of course.

o A recent change to vmlinux.ld.S file broke kexec as now resulting vmlinux
program headers are overlapping in physical address space.
o Now all the vsyscall related sections are placed after data and after
that mostly init data sections are placed. To avoid physical overlap
among phdrs, there are three possible solutions.
- Place vsyscall sections also in data phdrs instead of user
- move vsyscal sections after init data in bss.
- create another phdrs say data.init and move all the sections
after vsyscall into this new phdr.
o This patch implements the third solution.

TARGET_CPUS is the default irq routing poicy. It specifies which cpus the
kernel should aim an irq at. In physflat delivery mode we can route an irq to
a single cpu. But that doesn't mean our default policy should only be a
single cpu is allowed.
By allowing the irq routing code to select from multiple cpus this enables
systems with more irqs then we can service on a single processor to actually
work.
I just audited and tested the code and irqbalance doesn't care, and the
io_apic.c doesn't care if we have extra cpus in the mask. Everything will use
or assume we are using the lowest numbered cpu in the mask if we can't use
them all.
So this should result in no behavior changes except on systems that need it.

Thanks to YH Lu for spotting this. It appears I missed this function when I

While reviewing YH's patch I also noticed that this function was missing
locking, and since I am now reading two values from two diffrent arrays that
looks like a race we might be able to hit in the real world.

This avoids some problems with gcc 4.x and earlier generating

when unwind information is enabled.
And it seems to generate smaller code too, so it's probably
a good thing on its own. With gcc 4.0:
i386:
4683198 902112 480868 6066178 5c9002 vmlinux (before)
4449895 902112 480868 5832875 5900ab vmlinux (after)

4854193 1449584 648216 6951993 6a1439 vmlinux (after)
On 4.1 it shouldn't make much difference because it is
default when unwind is enabled anyways.

Currently some code pieces assume that address returned by find_e820_area()
are page aligned. But looks like find_e820_area() had no such intention
and hence one might end up stomping over some of the data. One such case
is bootmem allocator initialization code stomped over bss.
This patch modified find_e820_area() to return page aligned address. This
might be little wasteful of memory but at the same time probably it is
easier to handle page aligned memory.

This should make sure that, for UML, host's configuration files are not
considered, which avoids various pains to the user. Our dependency are such
that the obtained Kconfig will be valid and will lead to successful
compilation - however they cannot prevent an user from disabling any boot
device, and if an option is not set in the read .config (say
/boot/config-XXX), with make menuconfig ARCH=um, it is not set. This always
disables UBD and all console I/O channels, which leads to non-working UML
kernels, so this bothers users - especially now, since it will happen on
almost every machine (/boot/config-`uname -r` exists almost on every machine).
It can be workarounded with make defconfig ARCH=um, but it is non-obvious and
can be avoided, so please _do_ merge this patch.
Given the existence of options, it could be interesting to implement
(additionally) "option required" - with it, Kconfig will refuse reading a
.config file (from wherever it comes) if the given option is not set. With
this, one could mark with it the option characteristic of the given
architecture (it was an old proposal of Roman Zippel, when I pointed out our
problem):
config UML
option required
default y
However this should be further discussed:
*) for x86, it must support constructs like:
==arch/i386/Kconfig==
config 64BIT
option required
default n
where Kconfig must require that CONFIG_64BIT is disabled or not present in the
read .config.
*) do we want to do such checks only for the starting defconfig or also for
.config? Which leads to:
*) I may want to port a x86_64 .config to x86 and viceversa, or even among more
different archs. Should that be allowed, and in which measure (the user may
force skipping the check for a .config or it is only given a warning by
default)?
