powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set.  This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations.  (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)

The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run.  In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel.  This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.

This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler.  With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).

address 0 and run there.

powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernel

This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to
the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to
have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel.  Now,
instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top
32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and
ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of
the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset.

This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for
the handler with a load from the paca.  That makes it unnecessary to
have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit
mode.

We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code,
which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to
.slb_miss_realmode any more.  Instead we have to compute the address
and do an indirect branch.  This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE;
for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before.  (A later
change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.)

Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100
bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is,
we can't use a direct branch to get there.  Instead this changes
__secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer.  When it
is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function
pointed to by that value.

Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit
by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU
spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

powerpc chips it was found that with a small modification it either
matched the performance offered by the current mainline version or
bettered it by a small amount.

It was found that on a Cell-based QS22 blade the amount of system
time measured when compiling a 2.6.26 pseries_defconfig decreased
by 4%. Using the same test, a 4-way 970MP machine saw a decrease of
2% in system time. No noticeable change was seen on Power4, Power5

The 4096 byte page is copied in thirty-two 128 byte strides. An
initial setup loop executes dcbt instructions for the whole source
page and dcbz instructions for the whole destination page. To do

Chuck Lever [Mon, 8 Sep 2008 15:58:13 +0000 (11:58 -0400)]
NFS: Restore missing hunk in NFS mount option parser

Automounter maps can contain mount options valid for other NFS
implementations but not for Linux.  The Linux automounter uses the
mount command's "-s" command line option ("s" for "sloppy") so that
mount requests containing such options are not rejected.

Commit f45663ce5fb30f76a3414ab3ac69f4dd320e760a attempted to address a
known regression with text-based NFS mount option parsing.  Unrecognized
mount options would cause mount requests to fail, even if the "-s"
option was used on the mount command line.

Unfortunately, this commit was not complete as submitted.  It adds a
new mount option, "sloppy".  But it is missing a hunk, so it now allows
NFS mounts with unrecognized mount options, even if the "sloppy" option
is not present.  This could be a problem if a required critical mount
option such as "sync" is misspelled, for example, and is considered a
regression from 2.6.26.

This patch restores the missing hunk.  Now, the default behavior of
text-based NFS mount options is as before: any unrecognized mount option
will cause the mount to fail.

Please include this in 2.6.27-rc.

This patch provides a function to purge all timewait sockets related
to a network namespace. The timewait sockets life cycle is not tied with
the network namespace, that means the timewait sockets stay alive while
the network namespace dies. The timewait sockets are for avoiding to
receive a duplicate packet from the network, if the network namespace is
freed, the network stack is removed, so no chance to receive any packets
from the outside world. Furthermore, having a pending destruction timer
on these sockets with a network namespace freed is not safe and will lead
to an oops if the timer callback which try to access data belonging to
the namespace like for example in:
inet_twdr_do_twkill_work
-> NET_INC_STATS_BH(twsk_net(tw), LINUX_MIB_TIMEWAITED);

Purging the timewait sockets at the network namespace destruction will:
 1) speed up memory freeing for the namespace
 2) fix kernel panic on asynchronous timewait destruction

The alternative is to just get rid of that static nop selection, and just

Only he add the ids anyway later and caused regressions, adding a further
id in March causing more regresions.

The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included
the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected
for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction
faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as
a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and
smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.
