It appears that a memory barrier soon after a mispredicted
branch, not just in the delay slot, can cause the hang
condition of this cpu errata.
So move them out-of-line, and explicitly put them into
a "branch always, predict taken" delay slot which should
fully kill this problem.

When the spinlock routines were moved out of line into
kernel/spinlock.c this made it so that the debugging
spinlocks record lock acquisition program counts in the
kernel/spinlock.c functions not in their callers.
This makes the debugging info kind of useless.
So record the correct caller's program counter and
now this feature is useful once more.

Current uncorrectable error handling was poor enough
that the processor could just loop taking the same
trap over and over again. Fix things up so that we
at least get a log message and perhaps even some register
state.
In the process, much consolidation became possible,
particularly with the correctable error handler.
Prefix assembler and C function names with "spitfire"
to indicate that these are for Ultra-I/II/IIi/IIe only.
More work is needed to make these routines robust and
featureful to the level of the Ultra-III error handlers.

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

Paulus, I think this is now a reasonable candidate for the post-2.6.13

Relax address restrictions for hugepages on ppc64
Presently, 64-bit applications on ppc64 may only use hugepages in the
address region from 1-1.5T. Furthermore, if hugepages are enabled in
the kernel config, they may only use hugepages and never normal pages
in this area. This patch relaxes this restriction, allowing any
address to be used with hugepages, but with a 1TB granularity. That
is if you map a hugepage anywhere in the region 1TB-2TB, that entire
area will be reserved exclusively for hugepages for the remainder of
the process's lifetime. This works analagously to hugepages in 32-bit
applications, where hugepages can be mapped anywhere, but with 256MB
(mmu segment) granularity.
This patch applies on top of the four level pagetable patch
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc64/patch?id=1936).

abs_to_phys() is a macro that turns out to do nothing, and also has the
unfortunate property that it's not the inverse of phys_to_abs() on iSeries.
The following is for my benefit as much as everyone else.
With CONFIG_MSCHUNKS enabled, the lmb code is changed such that it keeps
a physbase variable for each lmb region. This is used to take the possibly
discontiguous lmb regions and present them as a contiguous address space
beginning from zero.
In this context each lmb region's base address is its "absolute" base
address, and its physbase is it's "physical" address (from Linux's point of
view). The abs_to_phys() macro does the mapping from "absolute" to "physical".
Note: This is not related to the iSeries mapping of physical to absolute
(ie. Hypervisor) addresses which is maintained with the msChunks structure.
And the msChunks structure is not controlled via CONFIG_MSCHUNKS.
Once upon a time you could compile for non-iSeries with CONFIG_MSCHUNKS
enabled. But these days CONFIG_MSCHUNKS depends on CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES, so
for non-iSeries code abs_to_phys() is a no-op.
On iSeries we always have one lmb region which spans from 0 to
systemcfg->physicalMemorySize (arch/ppc64/kernel/iSeries_setup.c line 383).
This region has a base (ie. absolute) address of 0, and a physbase address
of 0 (as calculated in lmb_analyze() (arch/ppc64/kernel/lmb.c line 144)).
On iSeries, abs_to_phys(aa) is defined as lmb_abs_to_phys(aa), which finds
the lmb region containing aa (and there's only one, ie. 0), and then does:
return lmb.memory.region[0].physbase + (aa - lmb.memory.region[0].base)
physbase == base == 0, so you're left with "return aa".
So remove abs_to_phys(), and lmb_abs_to_phys() which is the implementation
of abs_to_phys() for iSeries.

The lmb code is all written to use a pointer to an lmb struct. But it's always
the same lmb struct, called "lmb". So we take the address of lmb, call it
_lmb and then start using _lmb->foo everywhere, which is silly.
This patch removes the _lmb pointers and replaces them with direct references
to the one "lmb" struct. We do the same for some _mem and _rsv pointers which
point to lmb.memory and lmb.reserved respectively.
This patch looks quite busy, but it's basically just:
s/_lmb->/lmb./g
s/_mem->/lmb.memory./g
s/_rsv->/lmb.reserved./g
s/_rsv/&lmb.reserved/g
s/mem->/lmb.memory./g

Chunks are 256KB, so use constants for the size/shift/mask, rather than
getting them from the msChunks struct. The iSeries debugger (??) might still
need access to the values in the msChunks struct, so we keep them around
for now, but set them from the constant values.
Replace msChunks_entry typedef with regular u32.
Simplify msChunks_alloc() to manipulate klimit directly, rather than via
a parameter.
Move msChunks_alloc() and msChunks into iSeries_setup.c, as that's where

An #if/#else construct near the top of ppc64's head.S appears to

On ppc64 machines with segment tables, CPU0's segment table is at a

In the ppc64 kernel head.S there is currently quite a lot of unused
space between the naca (at fixed address 0x4000) and the fwnmi data
area (at fixed address 0x7000). This patch moves various exception
vectors and support code into this region to use the wasted space.
The functions load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec are moved down as well,
since they are essentially continuations of the fp_unavailable_common
and altivec_unavailable_common vectors, respectively.
Likewise, the fwnmi vectors themselves are moved down into this area,
because while the location of the fwnmi data area is fixed by the RPA,
the vectors themselves can be anywhere sufficiently low.

Comments in head.S suggest that the iSeries naca has a fixed address,
because tools expect to find it there. The only tool which appears to
access the naca is addRamDisk, but both the in-kernel version and the
version used in RHEL and SuSE in fact locate the NACA the same way as
the hypervisor does, by following the pointer in the hvReleaseData
structure.
Since the requirement for a fixed address seems to be obsolete, this
patch removes the naca from head.S and replaces it with a normal C
initializer.
For good measure, it removes an old version of addRamDisk.c which was
sitting, unused, in the ppc32 tree.

Implement 4-level pagetables for ppc64
This patch implements full four-level page tables for ppc64, thereby
extending the usable user address range to 44 bits (16T).
The patch uses a full page for the tables at the bottom and top level,
and a quarter page for the intermediate levels. It uses full 64-bit
pointers at every level, thus also increasing the addressable range of
physical memory. This patch also tweaks the VSID allocation to allow
matching range for user addresses (this halves the number of available
contexts) and adds some #if and BUILD_BUG sanity checks.
