CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops the large pages spanning boundaries of kernel
text/rodata/data to small 4KB pages as they are mapped with different
attributes (text as RO, RODATA as RO and NX etc).
On x86_64, preserve the large page mappings for kernel text/rodata/data
boundaries when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled. This is done by allowing the
RODATA section to be hugepage aligned and having same RWX attributes
for the 2MB page boundaries
Extra Memory pages padding the sections will be freed during the end of the boot
and the kernel identity mappings will have different RWX permissions compared to
the kernel text mappings.
Kernel identity mappings to these physical pages will be mapped with smaller
pages but large page mappings are still retained for kernel text,rodata,data
mappings.

CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA
In the first 2MB, kernel text is co-located with kernel static
page tables setup by head_64.S. CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops this
2MB large page mapping to small 4KB pages as we mark the kernel text as RO,
leaving the static page tables as RW.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA disabled, OLTP run on NHM-EP shows 1% improvement
with 2% reduction in system time and 1% improvement in iowait idle time.
To recover this, move the kernel static page tables to .data section, so that
we don't have to break the first 2MB of kernel text to small pages with
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.

Add interleaved NUMA emulation support
This patch interleaves emulated nodes over the system's physical
nodes. This is required for interleave optimizations since
mempolicies, for example, operate by iterating over a nodemask and
act without knowledge of node distances. It can also be used for
testing memory latencies and NUMA bugs in the kernel.
There're a couple of ways to do this:
- divide the number of emulated nodes by the number of physical
nodes and allocate the result on each physical node, or
- allocate each successive emulated node on a different physical
node until all memory is exhausted.
The disadvantage of the first option is, depending on the asymmetry
in node capacities of each physical node, emulated nodes may
substantially differ in size on a particular physical node compared
to another.
The disadvantage of the second option is, also depending on the
asymmetry in node capacities of each physical node, there may be
more emulated nodes allocated on a single physical node as another.
This patch implements the second option; we sacrifice the
possibility that we may have slightly more emulated nodes on a
particular physical node compared to another in lieu of node size
asymmetry.
[ Note that "node capacity" of a physical node is not only a
function of its addressable range, but also is affected by
subtracting out the amount of reserved memory over that range.
NUMA emulation only deals with available, non-reserved memory
quantities. ]
We ensure there is at least a minimal amount of available memory
allocated to each node. We also make sure that at least this
amount of available memory is available in ZONE_DMA32 for any node
that includes both ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL.
This patch also cleans the emulation code up by no longer passing
the statically allocated struct bootnode array among the various
functions. This init.data array is not allocated on the stack since
it may be very large and thus it may be accessed at file scope.
The WARN_ON() for nodes_cover_memory() when faking proximity
domains is removed since it relies on successive nodes always
having greater start addresses than previous nodes; with
interleaving this is no longer always true.

This is the counterpart to "x86: export k8 physical topology" for
SRAT. It is not as invasive because the acpi code already seperates
node setup into detection and registration steps, with the
exception of registering e820 active regions in
acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init(). This is now moved to
acpi_scan_nodes() if NUMA emulation is disabled or deferred.
acpi_numa_init() now returns a value which specifies whether an
underlying SRAT was located. If so, that topology can be used by
the emulation code to interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes
or to register the nodes for ACPI.
acpi_get_nodes() may now be used to export the srat physical
topology of the machine for NUMA emulation.

To eventually interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes, we
need to know the physical topology of the machine without actually
registering it. This does the k8 node setup in two parts:
detection and registration. NUMA emulation can then used the
physical topology detected to setup the address ranges of emulated
nodes accordingly. If emulation isn't used, the k8 nodes are
registered as normal.
Two formals are added to the x86 NUMA setup functions: `acpi' and
`k8'. These represent whether ACPI or K8 NUMA has been detected;
both cannot be true at the same time. This specifies to the NUMA
emulation code whether an underlying physical NUMA topology exists
and which interface to use.
This patch deals solely with separating the k8 setup path into
Northbridge detection and registration steps and leaves the ACPI
changes for a subsequent patch. The `acpi' formal is added here,
however, to avoid touching all the header files again in the next
patch.
This approach also ensures emulated nodes will not span physical
nodes so the true memory latency is not misrepresented.
k8_get_nodes() may now be used to export the k8 physical topology
of the machine for NUMA emulation.

As reported in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13940
on some system when acpi are enabled, acpi clears some BAR for some
devices without reason, and kernel will need to allocate devices for
them. It then apparently hits some undocumented resource conflict,
resulting in non-working devices.
Try to increase alignment to get more safe range for unassigned devices.

Currently, we've got the less than ideal situation where if we need to
allocate a 256MB mapping we'll allocate four entries like so,
entry 1: 128MB
entry 2: 64MB
entry 3: 16MB
entry 4: 16MB
This is because as we execute the loop in pmb_remap() we will
progressively try mapping the remaining address space with smaller and
smaller sizes. This isn't good because the size we use on one iteration
may be the perfect size to use on the next iteration, for instance when
the initial size is divisible by one of the PMB mapping sizes.
With this patch, we now only need two entries in the PMB to map 256MB of
address space,
entry 1: 128MB
entry 2: 128MB

Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a
problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also
reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using
iwlagn.
It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get
checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic
timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other
wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible.
The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer
interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that:
1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less
2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because
the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up.
I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the
original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported
success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec
range.

The patch added a special get_unmapped_area for framebuffer which
was hooked to the file ops in drivers/video/fbmem.c.
This is needed since v2.6.29-rc1 where nommu vma management was
updated, and mmap of framebuffer caused kernel BUG panic. You may turn
on "Debug the global anon/private NOMMU mapping region tree" config to
such message.
As Documentation/nommu-mmap.txt said,
"To provide shareable character device support, a driver must provide
a file->f_op->get_unmapped_area() operation. The mmap() routines will
call this to get a proposed address for the mapping."
With this change, user space should call mmap for framebuffer using
shared map. Or it can try shared map first, then private map if
failed. This shared map usage is now consistent between mmu and nommu.
The sys_ file may not be a good place for this patch. But there is a
similar one for sparc. I tested a similar patch on nios2nommu, though
I don't have a blackfin board to test.

Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically
everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache
aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps.
These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this.
However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has
the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular
allocations.

where strncpy_from_user() is used with len > strnlen and KERNEL_DS, crossing
a page boundary to an unused page.

We used address 0x1084 instead of 0x84 to store the suspend CPU address.
With this patch we use the correct address 0x84 as it is defined in
the POP.

The time a system has been suspended should not show up in any
of the cputime accounting fields. The time of inactivity is definitly
not any form of real cputime nor is it idle time.

The function graph tracer used to have a protection against NMI
while entering a function entry tracing. But this is useless now,
the tracer is reentrant and the ring buffer supports NMI tracing.
Same as 07868b086cca784f4b532fc2ab574ec3a73b468a for x86.
