sparc64: Get rid of indirect p1275 PROM call buffer.

2010-09-27T00:18:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 25edd6946a1d74e5e77813c2324a0908c68bcf9e ]

This is based upon a report by Meelis Roos showing that it's possible
that we'll try to fetch a property that is 32K in size with some
devices.  With the current fixed 3K buffer we use for moving data in
and out of the firmware during PROM calls, that simply won't work.

In fact, it will scramble random kernel data during bootup.

The reasoning behind the temporary buffer is entirely historical.  It
used to be the case that we had problems referencing dynamic kernel
memory (including the stack) early in the boot process before we
explicitly told the firwmare to switch us over to the kernel trap
table.

So what we did was always give the firmware buffers that were locked
into the main kernel image.

But we no longer have problems like that, so get rid of all of this
indirect bounce buffering.

Besides fixing Meelis's bug, this also makes the kernel data about 3K
smaller.

It was also discovered during these conversions that the
implementation of prom_retain() was completely wrong, so that was
fixed here as well.  Currently that interface is not in use.

compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()

2010-09-20T20:36:44+00:00

commit c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6 upstream.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area.  A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.

This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.

This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures.  This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

sparc: Really fix "console=" for serial consoles.

2010-08-26T23:45:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0a492896ac07336c98f37ad7fab4a6387b6ada78 ]

If a video head and keyboard are hooked up, specifying "console=ttyS0"
or similar to use a serial console will not work properly.

The key issue is that we must register all serial console capable
devices with register_console(), otherwise the command line specified
device won't be found.  The sun serial drivers would only register
themselves as console devices if the OpenFirmware specified console
device node matched.  To fix this part we now unconditionally get
the serial console register by setting serial_drv->cons always.

Secondarily we must not add_preferred_console() using the firmware
provided console setting if the user gaven an override on the kernel
command line using "console="  The "primary framebuffer" matching
logic was always triggering o n openfirmware device node match, make
it not when a command line override was given.

Should return 'long' instead of 'int'.

sparc64: Fix rwsem constant bug leading to hangs.

2010-08-26T23:45:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit ef201bebe5afc91a2b99b45dacc8c6dd88ca9e58 ]

As noticed by Linus, it is critical that some of the
rwsem constants be signed.  Yet, hex constants are
unsigned unless explicitly casted or negated.

The most critical one is RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS.

This bug was exacerbated by commit
424acaaeb3a3932d64a9b4bd59df6cf72c22d8f3 ("rwsem: wake queued readers
when writer blocks on active read lock")

SunBlade-2500 has 'parallel' device node with compatible
property "pnpALI,1533,3" so add that to the ID table.

lmb: rename to memblock

via following scripts

      FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

      sed -i \

        M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g')
        mv $N $M
      done

and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc.

also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/
