One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the
different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines. A number of
drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as
'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks
all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code.
Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types,
compat_u64 and compat_s64. These are defined on all architectures to have
the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64.

Linux does not gracefully deal with multiple processors going
through OS_MCA aa part of the same MCA event. The first cpu
into OS_MCA grabs the ia64_mca_serialize lock. Subsequent
cpus wait for that lock, preventing them from reporting in as
rendezvoused. The first cpu waits 5 seconds then complains
that all the cpus have not rendezvoused. The first cpu then
handles its MCA and frees up all the rendezvoused cpus and
releases the ia64_mca_serialize lock. One of the subsequent
cpus going thought OS_MCA then gets the ia64_mca_serialize
lock, waits another 5 seconds and then complains that none of
the other cpus have rendezvoused.
This patch allows multiple CPUs to gracefully go through OS_MCA.
The first CPU into ia64_mca_handler() grabs a mca_count lock.
Subsequent CPUs into ia64_mca_handler() are added to a list of cpus
that need to go through OS_MCA (a bit set in mca_cpu), and report
in as rendezvoused, and but spin waiting their turn.
The first CPU sees everyone rendezvous, handles his MCA, wakes up
one of the other CPUs waiting to process their MCA (by clearing
one mca_cpu bit), and then waits for the other cpus to complete
their MCA handling. The next CPU handles his MCA and the process
repeats until all the CPUs have handled their MCA. When the last
CPU has handled it's MCA, it sets monarch_cpu to -1, releasing all
the CPUs.
In testing this works more reliably and faster.

to this code.

In case of reentrance i.e when a probe handler calls a functions which
inturn has a probe, we save a previous kprobe information and just single
step the reentrant probe without calling the actual probe handler. During
this reentracy period, if an interrupt occurs and if probe happens to
trigger in the inturrupt path, then we were corrupting the previous kprobe(
as we were overriding the previous kprobe info) info their by crashing the
system. This patch fixes this issues by having a an array of previous
kprobe info struct(with the array size of 2).
This similar technique is not needed on i386 and x86_64 because by default

I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error
prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes
the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions,
probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and
atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes
sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking.

Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is
set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES. Which in turn is
currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures.
While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too
small. The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes. This
lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would
overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially
by kmalloc, which was often the case.
It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that
the area needs to be. This patch does just that.
If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is
needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in
arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h. Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice. However, I
think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an

The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific

Example memory map (from HP sx1000 with VGA enabled):
0x00000 - 0x9FFFF supports only WB (cacheable) access
0xA0000 - 0xBFFFF supports only UC (uncacheable) access
0xC0000 - 0xFFFFF supports only WB (cacheable) access
pci_read_rom() indirectly uses ioremap(0xC0000) to read the shadow VGA option
ROM. ioremap() used to default to a 16MB or 64MB UC kernel identity mapping,
which would cause an MCA when reading 0xC0000 since only WB is supported there.
X uses reads the option ROM to initialize devices. A smaller test case is:
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:aa:03.0/rom
# cp /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:aa:03.0/rom x
To avoid this, we can use the same ioremap_page_range() strategy that most
architectures use for all ioremaps. These page table mappings come out of the
vmalloc area. On ia64, these are in region 5 (0xA... addresses) and typically
use 16KB or 64KB mappings instead of 16MB or 64MB mappings. The smaller
mappings give more flexibility to use the correct attributes.

[IA64] min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation fix
We have seen bad_pte_print when testing crashdump on an SN machine in
recent 2.6.20 kernel. There are tons of bad pte print (pfn < max_low_pfn)
reports when the crash kernel boots up, all those reported bad pages
are inside initmem range; That is because if the crash kernel code and
data happens to be at the beginning of the 1st node. build_node_maps in
discontig.c will bypass reserved regions with filter_rsvd_memory. Since
min_low_pfn is calculated in build_node_map, so in this case, min_low_pfn
will be greater than kernel code and data.
Because pages inside initmem are freed and reused later, we saw
pfn_valid check fail on those pages.
I think this theoretically happen on a normal kernel. When I check
min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation in contig.c and discontig.c.
I found more issues than this.
1. min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is inconsistent between
contig.c and discontig.c,
min_low_pfn is calculated as the first page number of boot memmap in
contig.c (Why? Though this may work at the most of the time, I don't
think it is the right logic). It is calculated as the lowest physical
memory page number bypass reserved regions in discontig.c.
max_low_pfn is calculated include reserved regions in contig.c. It is
calculated exclude reserved regions in discontig.c.
2. If kernel code and data region is happen to be at the begin or the
end of physical memory, when min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is
bypassed kernel code and data, pages in initmem will report bad.
3. initrd is also in reserved regions, if it is at the begin or at the
end of physical memory, kernel will refuse to reuse the memory. Because
the virt_addr_valid check in free_initrd_mem.
So it is better to fix and clean up those issues.
