This adds a vdso_base element to the mm_context_t for 32-bit compiles

- Fixed locking of struct i2o_exec_wait in Executive-OSM
- Removed LCT Notify in i2o_exec_probe() which caused freeing memory and
accessing freed memory during first enumeration of I2O devices
- Added missing locking in i2o_exec_lct_notify()
- removed put_device() of I2O controller in i2o_iop_remove() which caused
the controller structure get freed to early
- Fixed size of mempool in i2o_iop_alloc()

This gives the ability to control whether alignment exceptions get
fixed up or reported to the process as a SIGBUS, using the existing
PR_SET_UNALIGN and PR_GET_UNALIGN prctls. We do not implement the
option of logging a message on alignment exceptions.

This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change
their endian mode via prctl.
This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up
alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for
"PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian.
We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for
little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian
user/kernel ABI. If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is
restored to what it was when the signal was delivered.
We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and
one for true little-endian. Most of the classic 32-bit processors
support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature
table. There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland
in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry.
This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard.

This new prctl is intended for changing the execution mode of the
processor, on processors that support both a little-endian mode and a
big-endian mode. It is intended for use by programs such as
instruction set emulators (for example an x86 emulator on PowerPC),
which may find it convenient to use the processor in an alternate
endianness mode when executing translated instructions.
Note that this does not imply the existence of a fully-fledged ABI for
both endiannesses, or of compatibility code for converting system
calls done in the non-native endianness mode. The program is expected
to arrange for all of its system call arguments to be presented in the
native endianness.
Switching between big and little-endian mode will require some care in
constructing the instruction sequence for the switch. Generally the
instructions up to the instruction that invokes the prctl system call
will have to be in the old endianness, and subsequent instructions
will have to be in the new endianness.

This patch attempts to handle RTAS "busy" return codes in a more simple
and consistent manner. Typical callers of RTAS shouldn't have to
manage wait times and delay calls.
This patch also changes the kernel to use msleep() rather than udelay()
when a runtime delay is necessary. This will avoid CPU soft lockups
for extended delay conditions.

Our MMU hash management code would not set the "C" bit (changed bit) in
the hardware PTE when updating a RO PTE into a RW PTE. That would cause
the hardware to possibly to a write back to the hash table to set it on
the first store access, which in addition to being a performance issue,
might also hit a bug when running with native hash management (non-HV)
as our code is specifically optimized for the case where no write back
happens.
Thus there is a very small therocial window were a hash PTE can become
corrupted if that HPTE has just been upgraded to read write, a store
access happens on it, and that races with another processor evicting
that same slot. Since eviction (caused by an almost full hash) is
extremely rare, the bug is very unlikely to happen fortunately.
This fixes by allowing the updating of the protection bits in the native
hash handling to also set (but not clear) the "C" bit, and, in order to
also improve performances in the general case, by always setting that
bit on newly inserted hash PTE so that writeback really never happens.

This patch cleans up some locking & error handling in the ppc vdso and
moves the vdso base pointer from the thread struct to the mm context
where it more logically belongs. It brings the powerpc implementation
closer to Ingo's new x86 one and also adds an arch_vma_name() function
allowing to print [vsdo] in /proc/<pid>/maps if Ingo's x86 vdso patch is
also applied.

I have tested PPC_PTRACE_GETREGS and PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS on umview.
I do not understand why historically these tags has been defined as
PPC_PTRACE_GETREGS and PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS instead of simply
PTRACE_[GS]ETREGS. The other "originality" is that the address must be
put into the "addr" field instead of the "data" field as stated in the

There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
invoked with bad or NULL data.
To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also
changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts,
and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can
preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
inside the lock after we detach the old one.
This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
with a very busy io load.

After removal of fixup_cpu_present_map() function Alpha ended up with an empty
cpu_present_map, so secondary CPUs on SMP systems are not being started.
Worse, on some platforms we route interrupts to secondary CPUs using
cpu_possible_map which is still populated properly. As a result, these
interrupts go nowhere so the machines like DP264 aren't able to boot even with
a primary CPU.
Fixed basically by s/cpu_present_mask/cpu_present_map/.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
The current __ixp23xx_arch_is_coherent() check assumes that the
lower byte of IXP23XX_PRODUCT_ID is identical to the lower byte of
processor_id, but this is not the case, and because of this we were
incorrectly enabling coherency on A1 stepping CPUs.
Stepping A1 of the ixp2350, which has a PRODUCT_ID of 0x401, has '02'
in the lower byte of processor_id, while A2, with a PRODUCT_ID of
0x402, has '04' in the lower byte of processor_id.
So, to check for >= A2, we really need to check the lower byte of
processor_id against >= 4.

In case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR, set_pte() and pte_clear() functions
only set _PAGE_GLOBAL bit in the pte_low field of the buddy PTEs,
forgetting to propagate ito to pte_high. Thus, the both pages might not
really be made global for the CPU (since it AND's the G-bit of the
odd / even PTEs together to decide whether they're global or not). Thus,
if only a single page is allocated via vmalloc() or ioremap(), it's not
really global for CPU (and it must be, since this is kernel mapping),
and thus its ASID is compared against the current process' one -- so,
we'll get into trouble sooner or later... Also, pte_none() will fail
on global pages because _PAGE_GLOBAL bit is set in both pte_low and
pte_high, and pte_val() will return u64 value consisting of those fields
concateneted.
