show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.
show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.
* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.
alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
um, xtensa
* Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
The printed information is superset of what used to be there.
arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86
* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the
arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
Converted to use the generic version.
Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.

Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints
extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.
The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
triggered dump_stack().
There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information.
This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's
dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.
Debug information can be printed separately by calling
dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used
in blackfin.
This patch brings the following behavior changes.
* On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
printed. This is because the top frame was determined in
dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
sure whether that'd be necessary.
* Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do
now.
An example WARN dump follows.

v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack(). This loses %ksp
from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.
dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
lib/dump_stack.c. Because linkage is per objecct file,
dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
- at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1
The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue. The build
breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.

Pull SMP/hotplug changes from Ingo Molnar:
"This is a pretty large, multi-arch series unifying and generalizing
the various disjunct pieces of idle routines that architectures have
historically copied from each other and have grown in random, wildly
inconsistent and sometimes buggy directions:
101 files changed, 455 insertions(+), 1328 deletions(-)
this went through a number of review and test iterations before it was
committed, it was tested on various architectures, was exposed to
linux-next for quite some time - nevertheless it might cause problems
on architectures that don't read the mailing lists and don't regularly
test linux-next.
This cat herding excercise was motivated by the -rt kernel, and was
brought to you by Thomas "the Whip" Gleixner."

User applications running on SMP kernels have long suffered from instability
and random segmentation faults. This patch improves the situation although
there is more work to be done.
One of the problems is the various routines in pgtable.h that update page table
entries use different locking mechanisms, or no lock at all (set_pte_at). This
change modifies the routines to all use the same lock pa_dbit_lock. This lock
is used for dirty bit updates in the interruption code. The patch also purges
the TLB entries associated with the PTE to ensure that inconsistent values are
not used after the page table entry is updated. The UP and SMP code are now
identical.
The change also includes a minor update to the purge_tlb_entries function in
cache.c to improve its efficiency.

1) PTRACE_SYSCALL doesn't work for 64bit process on parisc64.
Compat syscall table is used instead of 64bit one. IMO we should either
refuse to allow PTRACE_SYSCALL for 64bit processes or duplicate the
logics choosing the right syscall table into .Ltracesys.
2) if you have let the tracee run with PTRACE_SYSCALL and
it had stopped, you can use PTRACE_POKEUSR to modify syscall number
(r20) and arguments 1--4 (r26--r23). Modifications will have effect.
However, modifying arguments 5 and 6 (r22 and r21 resp.) works only
when process (32bit one) runs on 64bit host - on 32bit one it has no
effect. AFAICS, the diff below should fix that one.

People are playing odd games with IRQF_DISABLED, remove it.
Its not reliable, since shared interrupt lines could disable it for you,
and its possible and allowed for archs to disable IRQs to limit IRQ nesting.
Therefore, simply mandate that _ALL_ IRQ handlers are run with IRQs disabled.
[ This _should_ not break anything, since we've mandated that IRQ handlers
_must_ be able to deal with this for a _long_ time ]
IRQ handlers should be fast, no if buts and any other exceptions. We also have
plenty instrumentation to find any offending IRQ latency sources.

CONFIG_PARISC_TMPALIAS enables clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage.
These are essentially alternative implementations of clear_user_page and
copy_user_page. They don't have anything to do with x86 high pages, but they
build on the infrastructure to save a few instructions. Read the comment in
clear_user_highpage as it is very important to the implementation. For this
reason, there isn't any gain in using the TMPALIAS/highpage approach.

flush_cache_mm, for the non current case also uses flush_dcache_page_asm
and flush_icache_page_asm which are TMPALIAS flushes.
For the non current case, the algorithm used by get_ptep is derived from the
vmalloc_to_page implementation in vmalloc.c. It is essentially a generic page
table lookup. The other alternative was to duplicate the lookup in entry.S.
The break point for switching to a full cache flush is somewhat arbitrary. The
same approach is used in flush_cache_range for non current case. In a GCC
build and check, many small programs are executed and this change provided a
significant performance enhancement, e.g. GCC build time was cut almost in half
on a rp3440 at j4. Previously, we always flushed the entire cache.

Implement clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm. These are optimized routines to
clear and copy a page. I tested prefetch optimizations in clear_page_asm and
copy_page_asm but didn't see any significant performance improvement on rp3440.
I'm not sure if these are routines are significantly faster than memset and/or
memcpy, but they are there for further performance evaluation.
TLB purge operations on PA 1.X SMP machines are now serialized with the help of
the new tlb_lock() and tlb_unlock() macros, since on some PA-RISC machines, TLB
purges need to be serialized in software. Obviously, lock isn't needed in UP
kernels. On PA 2.0 machines, there is a local TLB instruction which is much
less disruptive to the memory subsystem. No lock is needed for local purge.
Loops are also unrolled in flush_instruction_cache_local and
flush_data_cache_local.
The implementation of what used to be copy_user_page (now copy_user_page_asm)
is now fixed. Additionally 64-bit support is now added. Read the preceding
comment which I didn't change. I left the comment but it is now inaccurate.

This is the first patch in a series of 4, with which the page cache flushing of
parisc will gets fixed and enhanced. This even fixes the nasty "minifail" bug
(http://wiki.parisc-linux.org/TestCases?highlight=%28minifail%29) which
prevented parisc to stay an official debian port. Basically the flush in
copy_user_page together with the TLB patch from commit
7139bc1579901b53db7e898789e916ee2fb52d78 is what fixes the minifail bug.
This patch still uses the TMPALIAS approach. The new copy_user_page
implementation calls flush_dcache_page_asm to flush the user dcache page
(crucial for minifail fix) via a kernel TMPALIAS mapping. After that, it just
copies the page using the kernel mapping. It does a final flush if needed.
Generally it is hard to avoid doing some cache flushes using the kernel mapping
(e.g., copy_to_user_page and copy_from_user_page).
This patch depends on a subsequent change to pacache.S implementing
clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm. These are optimized routines to clear and
copy a page. The calls in clear_user_page and copy_user_page could be replaced
by calls to memset and memcpy, respectively. I tested prefetch optimizations
in clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm but didn't see any significant performance
improvement on rp3440. I'm not sure if these are routines are significantly
faster than memset and/or memcpy, but they are there for further performance
evaluation.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/parisc-2.6 into stable-3.8
PARISC fixes on 20130213
This is a couple of patches, one to fix a broken build with HPUX compatibility
and the other to solve a coherency problem we've been seeing in our TLB where
setting a page read only occasionally fails to trigger a COW because of a
stale writeable TLB entry.

This patch goes a long way toward fixing the minifail bug, and
it significantly improves the stability of SMP machines such as
the rp3440. When write protecting a page for COW, we need to
purge the existing translation. Otherwise, the COW break
doesn't occur as expected because the TLB may still have a stale entry
which allows writes.
