powerpc/83xx: rename and update kmeter1
Beside the MPC 8360 based board kmeter1 other km83xx boards
from keymile will follow. Therefore the board specific naming
kmeter1 for functions and files were replaced with km83xx.
Additionally some updates were made:
- update defconfig for 2.6.38
- rework flash partitioning in dts file
- add gpio controller for qe_pio_c in dts

powerpc/85xx: Workaroudn e500 CPU erratum A005
This erratum can occur if a single-precision floating-point,
double-precision floating-point or vector floating-point instruction on a
mispredicted branch path signals one of the floating-point data interrupts
which are enabled by the SPEFSCR (FINVE, FDBZE, FUNFE or FOVFE bits). This
interrupt must be recorded in a one-cycle window when the misprediction is
resolved. If this extremely rare event should occur, the result could be:
The SPE Data Exception from the mispredicted path may be reported
erroneously if a single-precision floating-point, double-precision
floating-point or vector floating-point instruction is the second
instruction on the correct branch path.
According to errata description, some efp instructions which are not
supposed to trigger SPE exceptions can trigger the exceptions in this case.
However, as we haven't emulated these instructions here, a signal will
send to userspace, and userspace application would exit.
This patch re-issue the efp instruction that we haven't emulated,
so that hardware can properly execute it again if this case happen.

powerpc/85xx: Fix writing to spin table 'cpu-release-addr' on ppc64e
If the spin table is located in the linear mapping (which can happen if

See the following commit for the ppc32 version of this issue:
powerpc/pseries: Disable MSI using new interface if possible
On upcoming hardware, we have a PCI adapter with two functions, one of
which uses MSI and the other uses MSI-X. This adapter, when MSI is
disabled using the "old" firmware interface (RTAS_CHANGE_FN), still
signals an MSI-X interrupt and triggers an EEH. We are working with the
vendor to ensure that the hardware is not at fault, but if we use the
"new" interface (RTAS_CHANGE_MSI_FN) to disable MSI, we also
automatically disable MSI-X and the adapter does not appear to signal
any stray MSI-X interrupt.

The HVCS driver, for those who don't know, is a driver for the "server" side
of the IBM virtual terminal mechanism allowing Linux partitions to act as
terminal servers under IBM PowerVM hypervisor. It's almost never used on
the field at the moment.
However, it's part of our configs, and in its current incarnation, will
allocate the tty driver & major (with 64 minors) and create a kernel thread
whether it's used or not, ie, whether the hypervisor did put a virtual
terminal server device node in the partition or not (or whether running on
a pseries machine or not even).
This in turns causes modern distro's udev's to start trying to open all
those 64 minors at boot, which, since they aren't linked to anything,
causes the driver to spew errors in the kernel log for each of them.
Not nice.
This moves all that initialization to a function which is now only called
the first time a terminal server virtual IO device is actually probed
(that is almost never).
There's still a _LOT_ of cleanup that can be done in this driver, some
simple (almost all printk's statements in there shall either just be
removed or in some case turned into better written & more informative
messages, including using the dev_* variants etc...). This is left as
an exercise for whoever actually cares about that driver.
One could also try to be smart and dispose of all the tty related
resources when the last instance of the VIO server device
is removed (Hotplug anybody ?).

mm: vmscan: stop reclaim/compaction earlier due to insufficient progress if !__GFP_REPEAT
should_continue_reclaim() for reclaim/compaction allows scanning to
continue even if pages are not being reclaimed until the full list is
scanned. In terms of allocation success, this makes sense but potentially
it introduces unwanted latency for high-order allocations such as
transparent hugepages and network jumbo frames that would prefer to fail
the allocation attempt and fallback to order-0 pages. Worse, there is a
potential that the full LRU scan will clear all the young bits, distort
page aging information and potentially push pages into swap that would
have otherwise remained resident.
This patch will stop reclaim/compaction if no pages were reclaimed in the
last SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that were considered. For allocations such as
hugetlbfs that use __GFP_REPEAT and have fewer fallback options, the full
LRU list may still be scanned.
Order-0 allocation should not be affected because RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION
is not set so the following avoids the gfp_mask being examined:
if (!(sc->reclaim_mode & RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION))
return false;
A tool was developed based on ftrace that tracked the latency of
high-order allocations while transparent hugepage support was enabled and
three benchmarks were run. The "fix-infinite" figures are 2.6.38-rc4 with
Johannes's patch "vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done"

Mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced. order-2 looks increased but
with so few allocations, it's not particularly significant. THP mean
allocation latency is also reduced. That said, allocation time varies so
significantly that the reductions are within noise.
Max allocation time is reduced by a significant amount for low-order
allocations but reduced for THP allocations which presumably are now
breaking before reclaim has done enough work.

This benchmark creates one thread per CPU which references an amount of
anonymous memory 1.5 times the size of physical RAM. This pounds swap
quite heavily and is intended to exercise THP a bit.
Mean allocation time for order-1 is reduced as before. It's also reduced
for THP allocations but the variations here are pretty massive due to
swap. As before, maximum allocation times are significantly reduced.
Overall, the patch reduces the mean and maximum allocation latencies for
the smaller high-order allocations. This was with Slab configured so it
would be expected to be more significant with Slub which uses these size
allocations more aggressively.
The mean allocation times for THP allocations are also slightly reduced.
The maximum latency was slightly increased as predicted by the comments
due to reclaim/compaction breaking early. However, workloads care more
about the latency of lower-order allocations than THP so it's an
acceptable trade-off.

The regulator framework is used for power management. The regulators are
only named in the driver code, the actual control stuff is in the board
file for each architecture or use case.
The PN544 chip has three regulators that can be controlled or not -
depending on the architecture where the chip is being used. So some of
the regulators may not be controllable. In our current case the third
regulator, which was missing from the code, went unnoticed because we
didn't need to control it. To be as general as possible - in this respect
- the driver needs to list all regulators. Then the board file can be
used to actually set the usage.

epoll: prevent creating circular epoll structures
In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll()
method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other
file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd.
The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using
ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll
elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple
program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's
->poll, leading to deadlock:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/epoll.h>
int main(void) {
int e1, e2, p[2];
struct epoll_event evt = {
.events = EPOLLIN
};
On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll,
and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would
create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

CPU0 and CPU1 clockdomain is at the offset of 0x18 from the LPRM base.
The header file has set it wrongly to 0x0. Offset 0x0 is for CPUx power
domain control register
Fix the same.
The autogen scripts is fixed thanks to Benoit Cousson
With the old value, the clockdomain code would access the
*_PWRSTCTRL.POWERSTATE field when it thought it was accessing the
*_CLKSTCTRL.CLKTRCTRL field. In the worst case, this could cause
system power management to behave incorrectly.

fuse: fix truncate after open
Commit e1181ee6 "vfs: pass struct file to do_truncate on O_TRUNC
opens" broke the behavior of open(O_TRUNC|O_RDONLY) in fuse. Fuse
assumed that when called from open, a truncate() will be done, not an
ftruncate().
Fix by restoring the old behavior, based on the ATTR_OPEN flag.
