RTAS should never cause an exception but if it does (for example accessing
outside our RMO) then we might go a long way through the kernel before
oopsing. If we unset MSR_RI we should at least stop things on exception
exit.

Updated variant of a patch by Joel Schopp.
The field containing the number of supported cores which we pass to
firmware via the ibm,client-architecture call was set by a previous
patch statically as high as is possible (NR_CPUS).
However, that value isn't quite right for a system that supports
multiple threads per core, thus permitting the firmware to assign
more cores to a Linux partition than it can really cope with.
This patch improves it by using the device-tree to determine the
number of threads supported by the processors in order to adjust
the value passed to firmware.

This patch adds 2 fields to the ibm_architecture_vec array.
The first of these fields indicates the number of cores which Linux can
boot. It does not account for SMT, so it may result in cpus assigned to
Linux which cannot be booted. A second patch follows that dynamically
updates this for SMT.
The second field just indicates that our OS is Linux, and not another
OS. The system may or may not use this hint to performance tune
settings for Linux.

With dynamic irq descriptors the overhead of a large NR_IRQS is much lower
than it used to be. With more MSI-X capable adapters and drivers exploiting
multiple vectors we may as well allow the user to increase it beyond the
current maximum of 512.
32768 seems large enough that we'd never have to bump it again (although I bet
my prediction is horribly wrong). It boot tests OK and the vmlinux footprint
increase is only around 500kB due to:
struct irq_map_entry irq_map[NR_IRQS];

Looking at drivers/macintosh/therm_adt746x.c, the sysfs files are
created in thermostat_init() and removed in thermostat_exit(), which
are the driver's init and exit functions. These files are backed-up by
a per-device structure, so it looks like the wrong thing to do: the
sysfs files have a lifetime longer than the data structure that is
backing it up.
I think that sysfs files creation should be moved to the end of
probe_thermostat() and sysfs files removal should be moved to the
beginning of remove_thermostat().

Recent U-Boot commit 5ccd29c3679b3669b0bde5c501c1aa0f325a7acb caused
the "cpu-release-addr" device tree property to contain the physical RAM
location that secondary cores were spinning at. Previously, the
"cpu-release-addr" property contained a value referencing the boot page
translation address range of 0xfffffxxx, which then indirectly accessed
RAM.
The "cpu-release-addr" is currently ioremapped and the secondary cores
kicked. However, due to the recent change in "cpu-release-addr", it
sometimes points to a memory location in low memory that cannot be
ioremapped. For example on a P2020-based board with 512MB of RAM the
following error occurs on bootup:
<...>
mpic: requesting IPIs ...
__ioremap(): phys addr 0x1ffff000 is RAM lr c05df9a0

Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps. We previously don't free
up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed. So
fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had
no active vmap regions within them.
Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case
of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim
such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so
as to avoid a large build up of them).
Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU
vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the
previous bug fix.

RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken. It did not use
RCU primitives, and also the union of free_list and rcu_head is
obviously wrong (because free_list is indeed the list we are RCU
walking).
While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier
iteration.
These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the
XFS conversion. Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved
with these patches. Also it is an exported interface, so I think it
will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS
changes into their local tree).

Commit 221af7f87b ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions") split
the function at the point of no return - ie right where there were no
more error cases to check. That made sense from a technical standpoint,
but when we then also combined it with the actual personality setting
going in between flush_old_exec() and setup_new_exec(), it needs to be a
bit more careful.
In particular, we need to make sure that we really flush the old
personality bits in the 'flush' stage, rather than later in the 'setup'
stage, since otherwise we might be flushing the _new_ personality state
that we're just setting up.
So this moves the flags and personality flushing (and 'flush_thread()',
which is the arch-specific function that generally resets lazy FP state
etc) of the old process into flush_old_exec(), so that it doesn't affect
any state that execve() is setting up for the new process environment.
This was reported by Michal Simek as breaking his Microblaze qemu

Few weeks back, Shaohua Li had posted similar patch. I am reposting it
with more test results.
This patch does two things.
- Do not idle on async queues.
- It also changes the write queue depth CFQ drives (cfq_may_dispatch()).
Currently, we seem to driving queue depth of 1 always for WRITES. This is
true even if there is only one write queue in the system and all the logic
of infinite queue depth in case of single busy queue as well as slowly
increasing queue depth based on last delayed sync request does not seem to
be kicking in at all.
This patch will allow deeper WRITE queue depths (subjected to the other
WRITE queue depth contstraints like cfq_quantum and last delayed sync
request).
Shaohua Li had reported getting more out of his SSD. For me, I have got
one Lun exported from an HP EVA and when pure buffered writes are on, I
can get more out of the system. Following are test results of pure
buffered writes (with end_fsync=1) with vanilla and patched kernel. These
results are average of 3 sets of run with increasing number of threads.

I also ran buffered writes along with some sequential reads and some
buffered reads going on in the system on a SATA disk because the potential
risk could be that we should not be driving queue depth higher in presence
of sync IO going to keep the max clat low.
With some random and sequential reads going on in the system on one SATA
disk I did not see any significant increase in max clat. So it looks like
other WRITE queue depth control logic is doing its job. Here are the
results.

DBDMA descriptors need to be located at 32-byte aligned addresses;
however kmalloc in conjunction with the SLAB allocator and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLUB enabled doesn't deliver any. The dbdma code works
around that by allocating a larger area and realigning the start
address within it.
When freeing a channel however this adjustment is not taken into
account which results in an oops:
Kernel bug detected[#1]:

Fix this by recording the address delivered by kmalloc() and using
it as parameter to kfree().
This fix is only necessary with the SLAB allocator and CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
enabled; non-debug SLAB, SLUB do return nicely aligned addresses,
debug-enabled SLUB currently panics early in the boot process.
