Randy Dunlap accaa24c49 fbcon: logo: disable logo at boot
Add logo.nologo kernel boot option to disable the logo in order to provide
more screen space for kernel messages; especially useful when debugging and
screen space is more critical.

newport_con driver changes are untested.

Paul Jackson 607717a65d cpuset: remove sched domain hooks from cpusets
Remove the cpuset hooks that defined sched domains depending on the setting
of the 'cpu_exclusive' flag.

The cpu_exclusive flag can only be set on a child if it is set on the
parent.

This made that flag painfully unsuitable for use as a flag defining a
partitioning of a system.

It was entirely unobvious to a cpuset user what partitioning of sched
domains they would be causing when they set that one cpu_exclusive bit on
one cpuset, because it depended on what CPUs were in the remainder of that
cpusets siblings and child cpusets, after subtracting out other
cpu_exclusive cpusets.

Furthermore, there was no way on production systems to query the
result.

Using the cpu_exclusive flag for this was simply wrong from the get go.

Fortunately, it was sufficiently borked that so far as I know, almost no
successful use has been made of this.  One real time group did use it to
affectively isolate CPUs from any load balancing efforts.  They are willing
to adapt to alternative mechanisms for this, such as someway to manipulate
the list of isolated CPUs on a running system.  They can do without this
present cpu_exclusive based mechanism while we develop an alternative.

There is a real risk, to the best of my understanding, of users
accidentally setting up a partitioned scheduler domains, inhibiting desired
load balancing across all their CPUs, due to the nonobvious (from the
cpuset perspective) side affects of the cpu_exclusive flag.

Furthermore, since there was no way on a running system to see what one was
doing with sched domains, this change will be invisible to any using code.
Unless they have real insight to the scheduler load balancing choices, they
will be unable to detect that this change has been made in the kernel's
behaviour.

Initial discussion on lkml of this patch has generated much comment.  My
(probably controversial) take on that discussion is that it has reached a
rough concensus that the current cpuset cpu_exclusive mechanism for
defining sched domains is borked.  There is no concensus on the
replacement.  But since we can remove this mechanism, and since its
continued presence risks causing unwanted partitioning of the schedulers
load balancing, we should remove it while we can, as we proceed to work the
replacement scheduler domain mechanisms.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 954ffcb35f flush icache before set_pte() on ia64: flush icache at set_pte
Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after*
set_pte().  This is too late.  This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and
add modfied set_pte() for flushing if necessary.

This patch flush icache of a page when
	new pte has exec bit.
	&& new pte has present bit
	&& new pte is user's page.
	&& (old *ptep is not present
            || new pte's pfn is not same to old *ptep's ptn)
	&& new pte's page has no Pg_arch_1 bit.
	   Pg_arch_1 is set when a page is cache consistent.

I think this condition checks are much easier to understand than considering
"Where sync_icache_dcache() should be inserted ?".

pte_user() for ia64 was removed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/12/67 as
clean-up. So, I added it again.

Christoph Lameter 0e1e7c7a73 Memoryless nodes: Use N_HIGH_MEMORY for cpusets
cpusets try to ensure that any node added to a cpuset's mems_allowed is
on-line and contains memory.  The assumption was that online nodes contained
memory.  Thus, it is possible to add memoryless nodes to a cpuset and then add
tasks to this cpuset.  This results in continuous series of oom-kill and
apparent system hang.

Change cpusets to use node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] [a.k.a.  node_memory_map] in
place of node_online_map when vetting memories.  Return error if admin
attempts to write a non-empty mems_allowed node mask containing only
memoryless-nodes.

TODO:  update out-of-tree libnuma wrapper[s], or maybe add a new
wrapper--e.g.,  numa_get_mems_allowed() ?

Also, update numa syscall man pages.

Christoph Lameter 0889eba5b3 x86_64: SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP 2M page size support
x86_64 uses 2M page table entries to map its 1-1 kernel space.  We also
implement the virtual memmap using 2M page table entries.  So there is no
additional runtime overhead over FLATMEM, initialisation is slightly more
complex.  As FLATMEM still references memory to obtain the mem_map pointer and
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP uses a compile time constant, SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP should be
superior.

With this SPARSEMEM becomes the most efficient way of handling virt_to_page,
pfn_to_page and friends for UP, SMP and NUMA on x86_64.

Randy Dunlap bfe8df3d31 slow down printk during boot
Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely
measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk.

Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.):
"lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100"
to the kernel command line.

It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the
screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can
usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is
usually a valuable clue.

Stephen Rothwell fa7744dbb6 [SPARC/64]: Prepare to remove of_platform_driver name.
The name field of of_platform_driver is just copied into the
included device_driver.  By not overriding an already initialised
device_driver name, we can convert the drivers over time to stop using
the of_platform_driver name.

Also we were not copying the owner field from of_platform_driver, so do
the same with it.

Gary Hade 62f420f828 PCI: use _CRS for PCI resource allocation
Use _CRS for PCI resource allocation

This patch resolves an issue where incorrect PCI memory and i/o ranges
are being assigned to hotplugged PCI devices on some IBM systems.  The
resource mis-allocation not only makes the PCI device unuseable but
often makes the entire system unuseable due to resulting machine checks.

The hotplug capable PCI slots on the affected systems are not located
under a standard P2P bridge but are instead located under PCI root
bridges or subtractive decode P2P bridges.  For example, the IBM x3850
contains 2 hotplug capable PCI-X slots and 4 hotplug capable PCIe slots
with the PCI-X slots each located under a PCI root bridge and the PCIe
slots each located under a subtractive decode P2P bridge.

The current i386/x86_64 PCI resource allocation code does not use _CRS
returned resource information.  No other resource information source is
available for slots that are not below a standard P2P bridge so
incorrect ranges are being allocated from e820 hole causing the bad
result.

This patch causes the kernel to use _CRS returned resource info.  It is
roughly based on a change provided by Matthew Wilcox for the ia64 kernel
in 2005.  Due to possible buggy BIOS factor and possible yet to be
discovered kernel issues the function is disabled by default and can be
enabled with pci=use_crs.

David Brownell aa24886e37 dma_free_coherent() needs irqs enabled (sigh)
On at least ARM (and I'm told MIPS too) dma_free_coherent() has a newish
call context requirement: unlike its dma_alloc_coherent() sibling, it may
not be called with IRQs disabled.  (This was new behavior on ARM as of late
2005, caused by ARM SMP updates.) This little surprise can be annoyingly
driver-visible.

Since it looks like that restriction won't be removed, this patch changes
the definition of the API to include that requirement.  Also, to help catch
nonportable drivers, it updates the x86 and swiotlb versions to include the
relevant warnings.  (I already observed that it trips on the
bus_reset_tasklet of the new firewire_ohci driver.)
