x86: add brk allocation for very, very early allocations
Impact: new interface
Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order
to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations. This is better than
using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never
get used.
The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the
space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so
that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or
something into it.
The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area
(__brk_base to __brk_limit). The kernel text, data and bss is reserved
up to __bss_stop.
Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel
pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces
in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory.
Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general
kernel memory pool.
Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger
than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code
to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large
with a big kernel image and no PSE support). So long as the system
has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk,
there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

Move the symbols delimiting a section part of the section

alignment of the section data. It also makes the general

radeonfb/aty128fb: Disable broken early resume hook for PowerBooks
radeonfb and aty128fb have a special hook called by the PowerMac platform
code very very early on resume from sleep to bring the screen back. This
is useful for debugging wakup problems, but unfortunately, this also became
a source of problems of its own.
The hook is called extremely early, with interrupts still off, and the code
path involved with that code nowadays rely on things like taking mutexes,
GFP_KERNEL allocations, etc...
In addition, the driver now relies on the PCI core to restore the standard
config space before calling resume which doesn't happen with this early
code path.
I'm keeping the code in but commented out along with a fixup call to
pci_restore_state(). The reason is that I still want to make it easy to
re-enable temporarily to track wake up problems, and it's possible that
I can revive it at some stage if we make sleeping things save to call
in early resume using a system state.
In the meantime, this should fix several reported regressions.

Presumably the (nid < 0) case has never happened.
We do know that it is happening on one system while creating a symlink for
a memory section so it should also happen on the same system if
unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() were called to remove the same symlink.
The test was actually added in response to a problem with an earlier
version reported by Yasunori Goto where one or more of the leading pages
of a memory section on the 2nd node of one of his systems was
uninitialized because I believe they coincided with a memory hole.
That earlier version did not ignore uninitialized pages and determined
the nid by considering only the 1st page of each memory section. This
caused the symlink to the 1st memory section on the 2nd node to be
incorrectly created in /sys/devices/system/node/node0 instead of
/sys/devices/system/node/node1. The problem was fixed by adding the
test to skip over uninitialized pages.
I suspect we have not seen any reports of the non-removal
of a symlink due to the incorrect declaration of the nid
variable in unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() because
- systems where a memory section could have an uninitialized
range of leading pages are probably rare.
- memory remove is probably not done very frequently on the
systems that are capable of demonstrating the problem.
- lingering symlink(s) that should have been removed may
have simply gone unnoticed.

It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

powerpc: fix linkstation and storcenter compilation breakage
Defining flash partition table in platform code is deprecated, and due to
recent changes linkstation and storcenter do not compile any more with
their default configurations because of undefined references to
physmap_set_partitions(). Instead of fixing them by using the correct
kernel configuration macro in preprocessor conditional, remove partition
table definitions altogether. Instead add support for partition definition
on the command-line and in device tree to the default configurations.

Btrfs: fix spinlock assertions on UP systems
btrfs_tree_locked was being used to make sure a given extent_buffer was
properly locked in a few places. But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled
kernels.
This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to
btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used.

Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
process context with interrupts enabled.
So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:
Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
happens which updates accouting values. This causes acct_timexpd to be
greater than the former stime + utime. The subsequent calculation of
dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);
will be negative and the division performed by
cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)
will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
register.
In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
of the accounting values.

x86 mmiotrace: fix remove_kmmio_fault_pages()
Impact: fix race+crash in mmiotrace
The list manipulation in remove_kmmio_fault_pages() was broken. If more
than one consecutive kmmio_fault_page was re-added during the grace
period between unregister_kmmio_probe() and remove_kmmio_fault_pages(),
the list manipulation failed to remove pages from the release list.
After a second grace period the pages get into rcu_free_kmmio_fault_pages()
and raise a BUG_ON() kernel crash.
The list manipulation is fixed to properly remove pages from the release
list.
This bug has been present from the very beginning of mmiotrace in the
mainline kernel. It was introduced in 0fd0e3da ("x86: mmiotrace full
patch, preview 1");
An urgent fix for Linus. Tested by Stuart (on 32-bit) and Pekka
(on amd and intel 64-bit systems, nouveau and nvidia proprietary).

MIPS: compat: Implement is_compat_task.
This is a build fix required after "x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall
hole" (commit 5b1017404aea6d2e552e991b3fd814d839e9cd67). MIPS doesn't
have the issue that was fixed for x86-64 by that patch.
This also doesn't solve the N32 issue which is that N32 seccomp processes
will be treated as non-compat processes thus only have access to N64
syscalls.
