The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a
Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing
actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there),
or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single
PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual
address space.
This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically
locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole
in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that
area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes
from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but
grew its own fixes.

Make FIXADDR_TOP a compile time constant and cleanup a

address space on ppc32. We also print out that layout at

This reverts commit 33f00dcedb.
While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead
of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc
one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since
dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts
and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\ that :-(
Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all
drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to
our custom virtual space allocator.
There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping
would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time.
However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is
both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things
do exist !) so we can sort that out later.

[CPUFREQ] powernow-k7 build fix when ACPI=n
[CPUFREQ] add atom family to p4-clockmod
Slightly modified by trenn@suse.de -> only do this on fam 10h and fam 11h.
Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but
according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value:
"CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid]
rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz."
As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems,
e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra:
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82
processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8: 0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz)
powernow-k8: 1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz)
powernow-k8: 2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz)
But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it
correctly:
#x86info -a |grep Pstate
...
Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz)
Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz)
Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current)
Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead
of using rounded values from ACPI table.

For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes
relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel
image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel.
The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two
relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter
needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs.
R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered
error.
When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section,
binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by
changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail.
The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches
but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right
thing to do.
The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

The processor is documented to reload the PDPTRs while in PAE mode if any
of the CR4 bits PSE, PGE, or PAE change. Linux relies on this
behaviour when zapping the low mappings of PAE kernels during boot.
The code already handled changes to CR4.PAE; augment it to also notice changes
to PSE and PGE.
This triggered while booting an F11 PAE kernel; the futex initialization code
runs before any CR3 reloads and writes to a NULL pointer; the futex subsystem
ended up uninitialized, killing PI futexes and pulseaudio which uses them.

Remap percpu allocator has subtle bug when combined with page
attribute changing. Remap percpu allocator aliases PMD pages for the
first chunk and as pageattr doesn't know about the alias it ends up
updating page attributes of the original mapping thus leaving the
alises in inconsistent state which might lead to subtle data
corruption. Please read the following threads for more information:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/835783
The following is the proposed fix which teaches pageattr about percpu
aliases.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/837157

Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support. At least one
vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at
24. This bug may be present in other BIOSes.
The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably
completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on
their existence. Therefore, drop support completely. We may want to
revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually
needing the flags.
This reverts all or part of the following checkins:
cd670599b7c549e71d07
However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into
a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround. Put in a
comment to explain that part.

pfn_valid() is meant to be able to tell if a given PFN has valid memmap
associated with it or not. In FLATMEM, it is expected that holes always
have valid memmap as long as there is valid PFNs either side of the hole.
In SPARSEMEM, it is assumed that a valid section has a memmap for the
entire section.
However, ARM and maybe other embedded architectures in the future free
memmap backing holes to save memory on the assumption the memmap is never
used. The page_zone linkages are then broken even though pfn_valid()
returns true. A walker of the full memmap must then do this additional
check to ensure the memmap they are looking at is sane by making sure the
zone and PFN linkages are still valid. This is expensive, but walkers of
the full memmap are extremely rare.
This was caught before for FLATMEM and hacked around but it hits again for
SPARSEMEM because the page_zone linkages can look ok where the PFN linkages
are totally screwed. This looks like a hatchet job but the reality is that
any clean solution would end up consumning all the memory saved by punching
these unexpected holes in the memmap. For example, we tried marking the
memmap within the section invalid but the section size exceeds the size of
the hole in most cases so pfn_valid() starts returning false where valid
memmap exists. Shrinking the size of the section would increase memory
consumption offsetting the gains.
This patch identifies when an architecture is punching unexpected holes
in the memmap that the memory model cannot automatically detect and sets
ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL. At the moment, this is restricted to EP93xx
which is the model sub-architecture this has been reported on but may expand
later. When set, walkers of the full memmap must call memmap_valid_within()
for each PFN and passing in what it expects the page and zone to be for
that PFN. If it finds the linkages to be broken, it assumes the memmap is
invalid for that PFN.
