This patch updates percpu related symbols in ia64 such that percpu
symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols. This serves
two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol
collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols.

Back in January 2008 Nick Piggin implemented "ticket" spinlocks
for X86 (See commit 314cdbefd1).
IA64 implementation has a couple of differences because of the
available atomic operations ... e.g. we have no fetchadd2 instruction
that operates on a 16-bit quantity so we make ticket locks use
a 32-bit word for each of the current ticket and now-serving values.
Performance on uncontended locks is about 8% worse than the previous
implementation, but this seems a good trade for determinism in the
contended case. Performance impact on macro-level benchmarks is in
the noise.

It seems that start_ap doesn't need to be in a special location in the
kernel, but it references some init code so it should be in .ref.text.
Since this is the only thing in the .text.head section, eliminate
.text.head from the linker script.

Summary:
INIT asserted on kdump kernel invokes INIT handler not only on a
cpu that running on the kdump kernel, but also BSP of the panicked
kernel, because the (badly) frozen BSP can be thawed by INIT.
Description:
The kdump_cpu_freeze() is called on cpus except one that initiates
panic and/or kdump, to stop/offline the cpu (on ia64, it means we
pass control of cpus to SAL, or put them in spinloop). Note that
CPU0(BSP) always go to spinloop, so if panic was happened on an AP,
there are at least 2cpus (= the AP and BSP) which not back to SAL.
On the spinning cpus, interrupts are disabled (rsm psr.i), but INIT
is still interruptible because psr.mc for mask them is not set unless
kdump_cpu_freeze() is not called from MCA/INIT context.
Therefore, assume that a panic was happened on an AP, kdump was
invoked, new INIT handlers for kdump kernel was registered and then
an INIT is asserted. From the viewpoint of SAL, there are 2 online
cpus, so INIT will be delivered to both of them. It likely means
that not only the AP (= a cpu executing kdump) enters INIT handler
which is newly registered, but also BSP (= another cpu spinning in
panicked kernel) enters the same INIT handler. Of course setting of
registers in BSP are still old (for panicked kernel), so what happen
with running handler with wrong setting will be extremely unexpected.
I believe this is not desirable behavior.
How to Reproduce:
Start kdump on one of APs (e.g. cpu1)
# taskset 0x2 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Then assert INIT after kdump kernel is booted, after new INIT handler
for kdump kernel is registered.
Expected results:
An INIT handler is invoked only on the AP.
Actual results:
An INIT handler is invoked on the AP and BSP.
Sample of results:
I got following console log by asserting INIT after prompt "root:/>".
It seems that two monarchs appeared by one INIT, and one panicked at
last. And it also seems that the panicked one supposed there were
4 online cpus and no one did rendezvous:
:
[ 0 %]dropping to initramfs shell
exiting this shell will reboot your system
root:/> Entered OS INIT handler. PSP=fff301a0 cpu=0 monarch=0
ia64_init_handler: Promoting cpu 0 to monarch.

OS INIT slave did not rendezvous on cpu 1 2 3
INIT swapper 0[0]: bugcheck! 0 [1]

:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
Proposed fix:
To avoid this problem, this patch inserts ia64_set_psr_mc() to mask
INIT on cpus going to be frozen. This masking have no effect if the
kdump_cpu_freeze() is called from INIT handler when kdump_on_init == 1,
because psr.mc is already turned on to 1 before entering OS_INIT.
I confirmed that weird log like above are disappeared after applying
this patch.

add sched_clock() hook to paravirtualize sched_clock().
ia64 sched_clock() is based on ar.itc which isn't stable
on virtualized environment because vcpu may move around on
pcpus. So it needs paravirtualization.

Itanium processors can handle some misaligned data accesses. They
also provide a mode where all such accesses are forced to trap. The
kernel was schizophrenic about use of this mode:
* Base kernel code ran in permissive mode where the only traps
generated were from those cases that the h/w could not handle.
* Interrupt, syscall and trap code ran in strict mode where all
unaligned accesses caused traps to the 0x5a00 unaligned reference
vector.
Use strict alignment checking throughout the kernel, but make
sure that we continue to let user mode use more relaxed mode
as the default.

Initial fix for making sure that we can access percpu variables
in all C code (commit: 10617bbe84)
inadvertantly allocated the memory in the "percpu" section of
the vmlinux ELF executable. This confused kexec/dump.

ia64 handles per-cpu variables a litle differently from other architectures
in that it maps the physical memory allocated for each cpu at a constant
virtual address (0xffffffffffff0000). This mapping is not enabled until
the architecture specific cpu_init() function is run, which causes problems
since some generic code is run before this point. In particular when
CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is enabled, the boot cpu will trap on the access to
per-cpu memory at the first printk() call so the boot will fail without
the kernel printing anything to the console.
Fix this by allocating percpu memory for cpu0 in the kernel data section
and doing all initialization to enable percpu access in head.S before
calling any generic code.
Other cpus must take care not to access per-cpu variables too early, but
their code path from start_secondary() to cpu_init() is all in arch/ia64

After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:
1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>
2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.
3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.

This patch implements VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING for ia64,
which enable us to use more accurate cpu time accounting.
The VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is an item of kernel config, which s390
and powerpc arch have. By turning this config on, these archs
change the mechanism of cpu time accounting from tick-sampling
based one to state-transition based one.
The state-transition based accounting is done by checking time
(cycle counter in processor) at every state-transition point,
such as entrance/exit of kernel, interrupt, softirq etc.
The difference between point to point is the actual time consumed
during in the state. There is no doubt about that this value is
more accurate than that of tick-sampling based accounting.

There were two problems with enabling the PRINTK_TIME config
option:
1) The first calls to printk() occur before per-cpu data virtual
address is pinned into the TLB, so sched_clock() can fault.
2) sched_clock() is based on ar.itc, which may not be synchronized
across cpus.
Ken Chen started this patch, Tony Luck tinkered with it, and Jes
Sorensen perfected it.

This patch is required to support cpu removal for IPF systems. Existing code
just fakes the real offline by keeping it run the idle thread, and polling
for the bit to re-appear in the cpu_state to get out of the idle loop.
For the cpu-offline to work correctly, we need to pass control of this CPU
back to SAL so it can continue in the boot-rendez mode. This gives the
SAL control to not pick this cpu as the monarch processor for global MCA
events, and addition does not wait for this cpu to checkin with SAL
for global MCA events as well. The handoff is implemented as documented in
SAL specification section 3.2.5.1 "OS_BOOT_RENDEZ to SAL return State"

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
