07fa7a0a8a powerpc, hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpoints
While the tracer accesses ptrace breakpoints, the child task may
concurrently exit due to a SIGKILL and thus release its breakpoints
at the same time. We can then dereference some freed pointers.

To fix this, hold a reference on the child breakpoints before
manipulating them.

de30097476 powerpc/smp: smp_ops->kick_cpu() should be able to fail
When we start a cpu we use smp_ops->kick_cpu(), which currently
returns void, it should be able to fail. Convert it to return
int, and update all uses.

Convert all the current error cases to return -ENOENT, which is
what would eventually be returned by __cpu_up() currently when
it doesn't detect the cpu as coming up in time.

ad0693ee72 powerpc: Call CPU ->restore callback earlier on secondary CPUs
We do it before we loop on the PACA start flag. This way, we get a
chance to set critical SPRs on all CPUs before Linux tries to start
them up, which avoids problems when changing some bits such as LPCR
bits that need to be identical on all threads of a core or similar
things like that. Ideally, some of that should also be done before
the MMU is enabled, but that's a separate issue which would require
moving some of the SMP startup code earlier, let's not get there
for now, it works with that change alone.

86c74ab317 powerpc/perf_event: Skip updating kernel counters if register value shrinks
Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners
to decrease between reads on POWER7.  This causes a problem with the way that
counters are updated.  Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the
top 32 bits are masked.  If the register value has decreased, this leaves us
with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters.  This patch
protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative.
This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing
the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.

1f112cee07 PM / Hibernate: Introduce CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS
Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for
quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it
would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose.  However,
that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be
enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels
don't support hibernation.  Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it
would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that
they would never use.

To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option
CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code
that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make
CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it.  Then, Xen save/restore will be able to
select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire
hibernate code along with it.

b987812b3f powerpc/kexec: Fix mismatched ifdefs for PPC64/SMP.
Commit b3df895aeb "powerpc/kexec: Add support for FSL-BookE"
introduced the original PPC_STD_MMU_64 checks around the function
crash_kexec_wait_realmode().   Then commit c2be05481f
"powerpc: Fix default_machine_crash_shutdown #ifdef botch" changed
the ifdef around the calling site to add a check on SMP, but the
ifdef around the function itself was left unchanged, leaving an
unused function for PPC_STD_MMU_64=y and SMP=n

Rather than have two ifdefs that can get out of sync like this,
simply put the corrected conditional around the function and use
a stub to get rid of one set of ifdefs completely.

62cc67b9df powerpc/pmac/smp: Properly NAP offlined CPU on G5
The current code soft-disables, and then goes to NAP mode which
turns interrupts on. That means that if an interrupt occurs, we
will hit the masked interrupt code path which isn't what we want,
as it will return with EE off, which will either get us out of
NAP mode, or fail to enter it (according to spec).

Instead, let's just rely on the fact that it is safe to take
decrementer interrupts on an offline CPU and leave interrupts
enabled. We can also get rid of the special case in asm for
power4_cpu_offline_powersave() and just use power4_idle().

ad5d1c888e powerpc: Fix accounting of softirq time when idle
commit cf9efce0ce (powerpc: Account time using timebase rather
than PURR) used in_irq() to detect if the time was spent in
interrupt processing. This only catches hardirq context so if we
are in softirq context and in the idle loop we end up accounting it
as idle time. If we instead use in_interrupt() we catch both softirq
and hardirq time.

The issue was found when running a network intensive workload. top
showed the following:

0.0%us,  1.1%sy,  0.0%ni, 85.7%id,  0.0%wa,  9.9%hi,  3.3%si,  0.0%st

85.7% idle. But this was wildly different to the perf events data.
To confirm the suspicion I ran something to keep the core busy:

# yes > /dev/null &

8.2%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni,  0.0%id,  0.0%wa, 10.3%hi, 81.4%si,  0.0%st

We only got 8.2% of the CPU for the userspace task and softirq has
shot up to 81.4%.

With the patch below top shows the correct stats:

0.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni,  5.3%id,  0.0%wa, 13.3%hi, 81.3%si,  0.0%st

0415b00d17 percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE
Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly.  The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.

The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.

This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE.  While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.

For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area.  As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.

This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

b81a618dcd Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6:
  deal with races in /proc/*/{syscall,stack,personality}
  proc: enable writing to /proc/pid/mem
  proc: make check_mem_permission() return an mm_struct on success
  proc: hold cred_guard_mutex in check_mem_permission()
  proc: disable mem_write after exec
  mm: implement access_remote_vm
  mm: factor out main logic of access_process_vm
  mm: use mm_struct to resolve gate vma's in __get_user_pages
  mm: arch: rename in_gate_area_no_task to in_gate_area_no_mm
  mm: arch: make in_gate_area take an mm_struct instead of a task_struct
  mm: arch: make get_gate_vma take an mm_struct instead of a task_struct
  x86: mark associated mm when running a task in 32 bit compatibility mode
  x86: add context tag to mark mm when running a task in 32-bit compatibility mode
  auxv: require the target to be tracable (or yourself)
  close race in /proc/*/environ
  report errors in /proc/*/*map* sanely
  pagemap: close races with suid execve
  make sessionid permissions in /proc/*/task/* match those in /proc/*
  fix leaks in path_lookupat()

Fix up trivial conflicts in fs/proc/base.c

93a72052be crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn
The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state.  To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.

Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.

Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().  This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param().  It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
and powerpc.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: additional #includes]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove elfcorehdr_addr export]

388b78adc9 rapidio: modify configuration to support PCI-SRIO controller
1. Add an option to include RapidIO support if the PCI is available.
2. Add FSL_RIO configuration option to enable controller selection.
3. Add RapidIO support option into x86 and MIPS architectures.
