radeonfb: fix accel engine hangs
Some chips appear to have the 2D engine hang during screen redraw,
typically in a sequence of copyarea operations. This appear to be
solved by adding a flush of the engine destination pixel cache
and waiting for the engine to be idle before issuing the accel
operation. The performance impact seems to be fairly small.
Here is a trace on an RV370 (PCI device ID 0x5b64), it records the
RBBM_STATUS register, then the source x/y, destination x/y, and
width/height used for the copy:
When things are going fine the copies complete before the next ROP is
even issued, but all of a sudden the 2D unit becomes active (bit 17 in
RBBM_STATUS) and the FIFO retry (bit 13) and FIFO pipeline busy (bit
14) are set as well. The FIFO begins to backup until it becomes full.
What happens next is the radeon_fifo_wait() times out, and we access
the chip illegally leading to a bus error which usually wedges the
box. None of this makes it to the console screen, of course :-)
radeon_fifo_wait() should be modified to reset the accelerator when
this timeout happens instead of programming the chip anyways.
Another quirk is that these copyarea calls will not happen until the
first drivers/char/vt.c:redraw_screen() occurs. This will only happen
if you 1) VC switch or 2) run "consolechars" or 3) unblank the screen.
This seems to happen because until a redraw_screen() the screen scrolling
method used by fbcon is not finalized yet. I've seen this with other fb
drivers too.
So if all you do is boot straight into X you will never see this bug on
the relevant chips.

hugetlbfs: allocate structures for reservation tracking outside of spinlocks
In the normal case, hugetlbfs reserves hugepages at map time so that the
pages exist for future faults. A struct file_region is used to track when
reservations have been consumed and where. These file_regions are
allocated as necessary with kmalloc() which can sleep with the
mm->page_table_lock held. This is wrong and triggers may-sleep warning
when PREEMPT is enabled.
Updates to the underlying file_region are done in two phases. The first
phase prepares the region for the change, allocating any necessary memory,
without actually making the change. The second phase actually commits the
change. This patch makes use of this by checking the reservations before
the page_table_lock is taken; triggering any necessary allocations. This
may then be safely repeated within the locks without any allocations being
required.

Under rare circumstances, the ehca hardware might erroneously generate
two CQEs for the same WQE, which is not compliant to the IB spec and
will cause unpredictable errors like memory being freed twice. To
avoid this problem, the driver needs to detect the second CQE and
discard it.
For this purpose, introduce an array holding as many elements as the
SQ of the QP, called sq_map. Each sq_map entry stores a "reported"
flag for one WQE in the SQ. When a work request is posted to the SQ,
the respective "reported" flag is set to zero. After the arrival of a
CQE, the flag is set to 1, which allows to detect the occurence of a
second CQE.
The mapping between WQE / CQE and the corresponding sq_map element is
implemented by replacing the lowest 16 Bits of the wr_id with the
index in the queue map. The original 16 Bits are stored in the sq_map
entry and are restored when the CQE is passed to the application.

Since the introduction of the port auto-detect mode for ehca, calls to
modify_qp() may be cached in the device driver when the ports are not
activated yet. When a modify_qp() call is cached, the qp state remains
untouched until the port is activated, which will leave the qp in the
reset state. In the reset state, however, it is not allowed to post SQ
WQEs, which confuses applications like ib_mad.
The solution for this problem is to immediately set the qp state as
requested by modify_qp(), even when the call is cached.

[IA64] Ensure cpu0 can access per-cpu variables in early boot code
ia64 handles per-cpu variables a litle differently from other architectures
in that it maps the physical memory allocated for each cpu at a constant
virtual address (0xffffffffffff0000). This mapping is not enabled until
the architecture specific cpu_init() function is run, which causes problems
since some generic code is run before this point. In particular when
CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is enabled, the boot cpu will trap on the access to
per-cpu memory at the first printk() call so the boot will fail without
the kernel printing anything to the console.
Fix this by allocating percpu memory for cpu0 in the kernel data section
and doing all initialization to enable percpu access in head.S before
calling any generic code.
Other cpus must take care not to access per-cpu variables too early, but
their code path from start_secondary() to cpu_init() is all in arch/ia64

OK indeed it did have a couple of bugs. Firstly, I wasn't freeing the
data properly in the alloc && wait case. Secondly, I wasn't resetting
CSD_FLAG_WAIT in the for each cpu loop (so only the first CPU would
wait).
After those fixes, the patch boots and runs with the kmalloc commented
out (so it always executes the slowpath).

hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
introduced a spinlock recursion problem.
request_irq tries to call the handler if the IRQ is shared.
The irq handler of hvc_console calls hvc_poll and hvc_kill
which might take the hvc_struct spinlock. Therefore, we have
to call request_irq outside the spinlock.
We can move the notifier_add safely outside the spinlock as ->data must
not be changed by the backend. Otherwise, tty_hangup would fail anyway.

modules: extend initcall_debug functionality to the module loader
The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug"
on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to
execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes
it will
1) print if it had an error code
2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off)
and
3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds.
While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving
number 3 to figure out what to optimize... ... and then I wished that
the same thing was done for module loading.
This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's
a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late
binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding
where things are too slow in my boot.

lguest: use get_user_pages_fast() instead of get_user_pages()
Using a simple page table thrashing program I measure a slight
improvement. The program creates five processes. Each touches 1000
pages then schedules the next process. We repeat this 1000 times. As
lguest only caches 4 cr3 values, this rebuilds a lot of shadow page
tables requiring virt->phys mappings.
Before: 5.93 seconds
After: 5.40 seconds
(Counts of slow vs fastpath in this usage are 6092 and 2852462 respectively.)
And more importantly for lguest, the code is simpler.
