This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
huge pages.

The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.

Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
emulate standard 2MB huge pages.

<title>parisc: Initialize the fault vector earlier in the boot process.</title>

A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned.  Furthermore the
checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being
calculated and written at runtime.

Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K
page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the
kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write).
But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this
makes things harder.
So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write
the checksum before we map the page read-only.

In case we fail to power up other CPUs in a SMP system, the kernel
currently shows a wrong number of online CPUs. This change makes the
output more verbose on how many of the CPUs are online. Example:

CPU(s): 1 out of 2 PA8800 (Mako) at 900.000000 MHz online.

'boot_args' is an input args, and 'boot_command_line' has a fix length.
So use strlcpy() instead of strcpy() to avoid memory overflow.

<title>parisc: fix partly 16/64k PAGE_SIZE boot</title>

<id>6a45716abbf9dc0f397946306db1f78b2eba3086</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes partly PAGE_SIZEs of 16K or 64K by adjusting the
assembler PTE lookup code and the assembler TEMPALIAS code.  Furthermore
some data alignments for PAGE_SIZE have been limited to 4K (or less) to
not waste too much memory with greater page sizes. As a side note, the
palo loader can (currently) only handle up to 10 ELF segments which is
fixed with tighter aligning as well.

My testings indicated that the ldci command in the sba iommu coding
needed adjustment by the PAGE_SHIFT value and that the I/O PDIR Page
size was only set to 4K for my machine (C3000).

All this fixes partly the boot, but there are still quite some caching
problems left.  Examples are e.g. the symbios logic driver which is
failing:

sym0: &lt;896&gt; rev 0x7 at pci 0000:00:0f.0 irq 69
sym0: PA-RISC Firmware, ID 7, Fast-40, SE, parity checking
CACHE TEST FAILED: DMA error (dstat=0x81).sym0: CACHE INCORRECTLY CONFIGURED.

and the tulip network driver which doesn't seem to work correctly
either:

Sending BOOTP requests .net eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII#1
link partner capability of 05e1
..... timed out!

Beside those kernel fixes glibc will need fixes too to be able to handle
&gt;4K page sizes.
