Also fix a bug in 32-bit syscall tracing. We forgot to update
this code when we moved over to the convention that all 32-bit
syscall arguments are zero extended by default.

The following renames arch_init, a kprobes function for performing any
architecture specific initialization, to arch_init_kprobes in order to
cleanup the namespace.
Also, this patch adds arch_init_kprobes to sparc64 to fix the sparc64 kprobes
build from the last return probe patch.

This was the main impetus behind adding the PCI IRQ shim.
In order to properly order DMA writes wrt. interrupts, you have to
write to a PCI controller register, then poll for that bit clearing.
There is one bit for each interrupt source, and setting this register
bit tells Tomatillo to drain all pending DMA from that device.
Furthermore, Tomatillo's with revision less than 4 require us to do a
block store due to some memory transaction ordering issues it has on
JBUS.

This allows a PCI controller to shim into IRQ delivery
so that DMA queues can be drained, if necessary.
If some bus specific code needs to run before an IRQ
handler is invoked, the bus driver simply needs to setup
the function pointer in bucket->irq_info->pre_handler and
the two args bucket->irq_info->pre_handler_arg[12].
The Schizo PCI driver is converted over to use a pre-handler
for the DMA write-sync processing it needs when a device
is behind a PCI->PCI bus deeper than the top-level APB
bridges.
While we're here, clean up all of the action allocation
and handling. Now, we allocate the irqaction as part of
the bucket->irq_info area. There is an array of 4 irqaction
(for PCI irq sharing) and a bitmask saying which entries
are active.
The bucket->irq_info is allocated at build_irq() time, not
at request_irq() time. This simplifies request_irq() and
free_irq() tremendously.
The SMP dynamic IRQ retargetting code got removed in this
change too. It was disabled for a few months now, and we
can resurrect it in the future if we want.

In particular, avoid membar instructions in the delay
slot of a jmpl instruction.
UltraSPARC-I, II, IIi, and IIe have a bug, documented in
the UltraSPARC-IIi User's Manual, Appendix K, Erratum 51
The long and short of it is that if the IMU unit misses
on a branch or jmpl, and there is a store buffer synchronizing
membar in the delay slot, the chip can stop fetching instructions.
If interrupts are enabled or some other trap is enabled, the
chip will unwedge itself, but performance will suffer.
We already had a workaround for this bug in a few spots, but
it's better to have the entire tree sanitized for this rule.

The architecture independent code of the current kprobes implementation is
arming and disarming kprobes at registration time. The problem is that the
code is assuming that arming and disarming is a just done by a simple write
of some magic value to an address. This is problematic for ia64 where our
instructions look more like structures, and we can not insert break points
by just doing something like:
*p->addr = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION;
The following patch to 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 adds two new architecture dependent
functions:
* void arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p)
* void arch_disarm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p)
and then adds the new functions for each of the architectures that already
implement kprobes (spar64/ppc64/i386/x86_64).
I thought arch_[dis]arm_kprobe was the most descriptive of what was really
happening, but each of the architectures already had a disarm_kprobe()
function that was really a "disarm and do some other clean-up items as
needed when you stumble across a recursive kprobe." So... I took the
liberty of changing the code that was calling disarm_kprobe() to call
arch_disarm_kprobe(), and then do the cleanup in the block of code dealing
with the recursive kprobe case.
So far this patch as been tested on i386, x86_64, and ppc64, but still
needs to be tested in sparc64.

Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the
free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and
causes huge performance increases in thread creation.
The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the
mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications
that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6
kernel.
The problem is twofold:
1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where
the last search ended. Before the change new areas were always
searched from the base address on.
So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes
throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes
tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base
large and available for larger requests.
2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last
munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of
1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K
will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we
appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location
of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only
get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation.
The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor
cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the
current free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared
against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole
below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.
The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my
(earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations
with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely
(as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads
requires 0.7s system time.
Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically
deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the
search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme
terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in
/proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system
time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads.
Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with
only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems
sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

The initial peek read PIO of the match register is just a waste.

Firstly, if the direction is TODEVICE, then dirty data in the
streaming cache is impossible so we can elide the flush-flag
synchronization in that case.
Next, the context allocator is broken. It is highly likely
that contexts get used multiple times for different dma
mappings, which confuses the strbuf flushing code and makes
it run inefficiently.

Older UltraSPARC-III chips have a P-Cache bug that makes us disable it
by default at boot time.
However, this does hurt performance substantially, particularly with
memcpy(), and the bug is _incredibly_ obscure. I have never seen it
triggered in practice, ever.
So provide a "-P" boot option that forces the P-Cache on. It taints
the kernel, so if it does trigger and cause some data corruption or
OOPS, we will find out in the logs that this option was on when it
happened.

The recent change to add a timeout to strbuf flushing had
a negative performance impact. The udelay()'s are too long,
and they were done in the wrong order wrt. the register read
checks. Fix both, and things are happy again.
There are more possible improvements in this area. In fact,
PCI streaming buffer flushing seems to be part of the bottleneck
in network receive performance on my SunBlade1000 box.

Provide support for drivers/char/rtc.c ioctls in the
Mostek rtc driver as well as the Sparc specific RTCGET
and RTCSET.
This allows userspace to be much less messy. Currently
util-linux and other spots jump through hoops trying
various ioctl variants until it hits the right one whatever
driver actually being used supports.
Eventually all of this should move over to the genrtc.c
driver, but not today...
While we are here, fix up the register types for sparse.

Like Alpha, sparc64's struct stat was defined before we had the
nanosecond et al. fields added. So like Alpha I have to cons up a

Also, we were forgetting to fill in the nanosecond fields in the sparc
compat stat64 syscalls.

We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing
and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable.
All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm().
This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages(). That
in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we
copy in/out the ptrace request data.
Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is:
1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different
color than userspace does.
2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus.
Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace()
request, and that was beyond stupid.

SunOS aparently had this weird PTRACE_CONT semantic which
we copied. If the addr argument is something other than
1, it sets the process program counter to whatever that
value is.
This is different from every other Linux architecture, which
don't do anything with the addr and data args.
This difference in particular breaks the Linux native GDB support
for fork and vfork tracing on sparc and sparc64.
There is no interest in running SunOS binaries using this weird
PTRACE_CONT behavior, so just delete it so we behave like other
platforms do.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
