Since powerpc uses -Werror on arch powerpc, the build was broken like
this:

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.
So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.
Future fixups:
- move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
belongs.
- get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
(called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
for other reasons.

Make sigreturn zero regs->trap, make do_signal() do the same on all
paths. As it is, signal interrupting e.g. read() from fd 512 (==
ERESTARTSYS) with another signal getting unblocked when the first
handler finishes will lead to restart one insn earlier than it ought
to. Same for multiple signals with in-kernel handlers interrupting
that sucker at the same time. Same for multiple signals of any kind
interrupting that sucker on 64bit...

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.

This function is implemented as though the function of_get_next_child does

The dlpar code can cause a deadlock to occur when making the RTAS
configure-connector call. This occurs because we make kmalloc calls,
which can block, while parsing the rtas_data_buf and holding the
rtas_data_buf_lock. This an cause issues if someone else attempts
to grab the rtas_data_bug_lock.
This patch alleviates this issue by copying the contents of the rtas_data_buf
to a local buffer before parsing. This allows us to only hold the
rtas_data_buf_lock around the RTAS configure-connector calls.

In f761622e59433130bc33ad086ce219feee9eb961 we changed
early_setup_secondary so it's called using the proper kernel stack
rather than the emergency one.
Unfortunately, this stack pointer can't be used when translation is off
on PHYP as this stack pointer might be outside the RMO. This results in
the following on all non zero cpus:
cpu 0x1: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000001639fd10]
pc: 000000000001c50c
lr: 000000000000821c
sp: c00000001639ff90
msr: 8000000000001000
dar: c00000001639ffa0
dsisr: 42000000
current = 0xc000000016393540
paca = 0xc000000006e00200
pid = 0, comm = swapper
The original patch was only tested on bare metal system, so it never
caught this problem.
This changes __secondary_start so that we calculate the new stack
pointer but only start using it after we've called early_setup_secondary.
With this patch, the above problem goes away.

Commit 0fe1ac48 ("powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to
perf_event_do_pending call") moved the call to perf_event_do_pending
in timer_interrupt() down so that it was after the irq_enter() call.
Unfortunately this moved it after the code that checks whether it
is time for the next decrementer clock event. The result is that
the call to perf_event_do_pending() won't happen until the next
decrementer clock event is due. This was pointed out by Milton
Miller.
This fixes it by moving the check for whether it's time for the
next decrementer clock event down to the point where we're about
to call the event handler, after we've called perf_event_do_pending.
This has the side effect that on old pre-Core99 Powermacs where we
use the ppc_n_lost_interrupts mechanism to replay interrupts, a
replayed interrupt will incur a little more latency since it will
now do the code from the irq_enter down to the irq_exit, that it
used to skip. However, these machines are now old and rare enough
that this doesn't matter. To make it clear that ppc_n_lost_interrupts
is only used on Powermacs, and to speed up the code slightly on
non-Powermac ppc32 machines, the code that tests ppc_n_lost_interrupts
is now conditional on CONFIG_PMAC as well as CONFIG_PPC32.

Call kexec purgatory code correctly. We were getting lucky before.
If you examine the powerpc 32bit kexec "purgatory" code you will
see it expects the following:
>From kexec-tools: purgatory/arch/ppc/v2wrap_32.S
-> calling convention:
-> r3 = physical number of this cpu (all cpus)
-> r4 = address of this chunk (master only)
As such, we need to set r3 to the current core, r4 happens to be
unused by purgatory at the moment but we go ahead and set it
here as well

As early setup calls down to slb_initialize(), we must have kstack
initialised before checking "should we add a bolted SLB entry for our kstack?"
Failing to do so means stack access requires an SLB miss exception to refill
an entry dynamically, if the stack isn't accessible via SLB(0) (kernel text
& static data). It's not always allowable to take such a miss, and
intermittent crashes will result.
Primary CPUs don't have this issue; an SLB entry is not bolted for their
stack anyway (as that lives within SLB(0)). This patch therefore only
affects the init of secondaries.

When looking at some issues with the virtual ethernet driver I noticed
that TCE allocation was following a very strange pattern:
address 00e9000 length 2048
address 0409000 length 2048 <-----
address 0429000 length 2048
address 0449000 length 2048
address 0469000 length 2048
address 0489000 length 2048
address 04a9000 length 2048
address 04c9000 length 2048
address 04e9000 length 2048
address 4009000 length 2048 <-----
address 4029000 length 2048
Huge unexplained gaps in what should be an empty TCE table. It turns out
it_blocksize, the amount we want to align the next allocation to, was
c0000000fe903b20. Completely bogus.
Initialise it to something reasonable in the VIO IOMMU code, and use kzalloc
everywhere to protect against this when we next add a non compulsary
field to iommu code and forget to initialise it.

During CPU offline/online tests __cpu_up would flood the logs with
the following message:
Processor 0 found.
This provides no useful information to the user as there is no context
provided, and since the operation was a success (to this point) it is expected
that the CPU will come back online, providing all the feedback necessary.
Change the "Processor found" message to DBG() similar to other such messages in

Some modules (like eHCA) want to map all of kernel memory, for this to
work with a relocated kernel, we need to export kernstart_addr so
modules can use PHYSICAL_START and memstart_addr so they could use
MEMORY_START. Note that the 32bit code already exports these symbols.

This makes the 64-bit kernel use 64-bit signed integers for the counter
(effectively supporting 32-bit of active count in the semaphore), thus
avoiding things like overflow of the mmap_sem if you use a really crazy
number of threads
Note: Ideally the type in the structure should be atomic_long_t rather
than "long". However, there's some nasty issues with that. It needs to
be initialized statically -and- lib/rwsem.c does things like
sem->count = RWSEM_UNLOCKED_VALUE;
Now, if you mix in the fact that atomic_* types are actually structures
with one member and note typedefs of a scalar, it makes its really nasty.
So I stuck to what we did before using a long and casts for now.

The interrupt stacks need to be indexed by the physical cpu since the
critical, debug and machine check handlers use the contents of SPRN_PIR to
index the critirq_ctx, dbgirq_ctx, and mcheckirq_ctx arrays.

Clear the machine check syndrom register before enabling machine check
interrupts. The initial state of the tlb can lead to parity errors being

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
aren't. The list includes:
(*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
syscalls and some mount syscalls.
(*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.
(*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.
