User processes trying to access an invalid memory address via PIO will
receive a SIGBUS signal instead of causing a panic.  Memory errors will
receive a SIGKILL since a SIGBUS may result in a coredump which may
attempt to repeat the faulting access.

Error queues use a non-zero first word to detect if the queues are full.
Using pages that have not been zeroed may result in false positive
overflow events.  These queues are set up once during boot so zeroing
all mondo and error queue pages is safe.

Note that the false positive overflow does not always occur because the
page allocation for these queues is so early in the boot cycle that
higher number CPUs get fresh pages.  It is only when traps are serviced
with lower number CPUs who were given already used pages that this issue
is exposed.

Use symbolic names MM_TSB_BASE and MM_TSB_HUGE instead of numeric values
0 and 1 in __tsb_context_switch.  Code cleanup only, no functional change.

<title>sparc: implement watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable</title>

Implement functions watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable to
enable/disable nmi watchdog.  Sparc uses arch specific nmi watchdog
handler.  Currently, we do not have a way to enable/disable nmi watchdog
dynamically.  With these patches we can enable or disable arch specific
nmi watchdogs using proc or sysctl interface.

Example commands.
To enable: echo 1 &gt;  /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
To disable: echo 0 &gt;  /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

It can also achieved using the sysctl parameter kernel.nmi_watchdog

This change allows us to pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC which allows us to
avoid invoking cache line invalidation if the driver will just handle it
via a sync_for_cpu or sync_for_device call.

 "This is the final round of converting the notifier mess to the state
  machine. The removal of the notifiers and the related infrastructure
  will happen around rc1, as there are conversions outstanding in other
  trees.

  The whole exercise removed about 2000 lines of code in total and in
  course of the conversion several dozen bugs got fixed. The new
  mechanism allows to test almost every hotplug step standalone, so
  usage sites can exercise all transitions extensively.

  There is more room for improvement, like integrating all the

  setting cpus online etc into the core code"
