The scheduler depends on receiving the CPU_STARTING notification, without
which we end up into a lot of trouble. So add the missing call to
notify_cpu_starting() in the bringup code.

Using coherent DMA memory with the OMAP DMA engine results in
unpredictable behaviour due to memory ordering issues; as things stand,
there is no guarantee that data written to coherent DMA memory will be
visible to the DMA hardware.
This is because the OMAP dma_write() accessor contains no barriers,
necessary on ARMv6 and above. The effect of this can be seen in comments
in the OMAP serial driver, which incorrectly talks about cache flushing
for the coherent DMA stuff.
Rather than adding barriers to the accessors, add it in the DMA support
code just before we enable DMA, and just after we disable DMA. This
avoids having barriers for every DMA register access.

The MMCI driver will not work without two IRQs since this is not
flagged as a single-irq variant. Looking through the complex IRQ
definition for the MMCI on the versatile (including an #if 1
statement forcing MMCI IRQ0 to the VIC) this appears to the the
correct IRQ number for both models.

The ARM PCS mandates that the length and stride bits of the fpscr are
cleared on entry to and return from a public interface. Although signal
handlers run asynchronously with respect to the interrupted function,
the handler itself expects to run as though it has been called like a
normal function.
This patch updates the state mirroring the VFP hardware before entry to
a signal handler so that it adheres to the PCS. Furthermore, we disable
VFP to ensure that we trap on any floating point operation performed by
the signal handler and synchronise the hardware appropriately. A check
is inserted after the signal handler to avoid redundant flushing if VFP
was not used.

The user VFP state must be preserved (subject to ucontext modifications)
across invocation of a signal handler and this is currently handled by
vfp_{preserve,restore}_context in signal.c
Since this code requires intimate low-level knowledge of the VFP state,
this patch moves it into vfpmodule.c.

Erratum #326103 ("FSR write bit incorrect on a SWP to read-only memory")
only affects the ARM 1136 core prior to r1p0. The workaround
disassembles the faulting instruction to determine whether it was a read
or write access on all v6 cores.
An issue has been reported on the ARM 11MPCore whereby loading the
faulting instruction may happen in parallel with that page being
unmapped, resulting in a deadlock due to the lack of TLB broadcasting
in hardware:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-March/091561.html
This patch limits the workaround so that it is only used on affected
cores, which are known to be UP only. Other v6 cores can rely on the
FSR to indicate the access type correctly.

This gets rid of the unused default senses array, and replaces the
incorrect use of IRQ_TYPE_NONE with the new IRQ_TYPE_DEFAULT for
the initial set_trigger() call when mapping an interrupt.
This in turn makes us read the HW state and update the irq desc
accordingly.

mpic_is_ipi() takes a virq and immediately converts it to a hw_irq.
However, one of the two call sites calls it with a ... hw_irq. The
other call site also happens to have the hw_irq at hand, so let's
change it to just take that as an argument. Also change mpic_is_tm()
for consistency.

If the interrupt and the timeout happen roughly at the same
time, we can get into a situation where the timer function
is run while the interrupt has already been processed. In
this case, the timer function might end up doing an add_timer
on an already pending timer, causing a BUG_ON() to trigger.
Instead, just skip the whole timeout operation if we see that
the timer is pending. The spinlock ensures that the only way
that happens is if we already started a new operation and thus
the timeout can be ignored.

The problem was reported by Anton Blanchard. While EEH error
happened to the PCI device without the corresponding device
driver, kernel crash was seen. Eventually, I successfully
reproduced the problem on Firebird-L machine with utility
"errinjct". Initially, the device driver for Emulex ethernet
MAC has been disabled from .config and force data parity on
the Emulex ethernet MAC with help of "errinjct". Eventually,
I saw the kernel crash after issueing couple of "lspci -v"
command.
The root cause behind is that the PCI device, including the
reference to the corresponding eeh device, will be removed
from the system while EEH does recovery. Afterwards, the
PCI device will be probed again and added into the system
accordingly. So it's not safe to retrieve the eeh device from
the corresponding PCI device after the PCI device has been removed
and not added again.
The patch fixes the issue and retrieve the eeh device from OF node
instead of PCI device after the PCI device has been removed.

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.
This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.
Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

Commit 46d026ac ("powerpc/85xx: consolidate of_platform_bus_probe calls")
replaced platform-specific of_device_id tables with a single function
that probes the most of the busses in 85xx device trees. If a specific
platform needed additional busses probed, then it could call
of_platform_bus_probe() again. Typically, the additional platform-specific
busses are children of existing busses that have already been probed.
of_platform_bus_probe() does not handle those child busses automatically.
Unfortunately, this doesn't actually work. The second (platform-specific)
call to of_platform_bus_probe() never finds any of the busses it's asked
to find.
To remedy this, the platform-specific of_device_id tables are eliminated,
and their entries are merged into mpc85xx_common_ids[], so that all busses
are probed at once.

The problem is caused by the interaction of two features in the Linux
memory management code.
A processes address space is described by a struct mm_struct, and
every thread has a pointer to the mm it should run in. The exception
to this are kernel threads, which don't have an mm, and so borrow
the mm from the last thread which ran. The system is bootstrapped
by the initial kernel thread using init's mm (even though init hasn't
been created yet, its mm is the static init_mm).
The other feature is how the kernel handles the page table which
describes the portion of the address space which is only visible when
executing inside the kernel, and which is shared by all threads. On
the SH4 the only portion of the kernel's address space which described
using the page table is called P3, from 0xc0000000 to 0xdfffffff. This
portion of the address space is divided into three:
- mappings for dma_alloc_coherent()
- mappings for vmalloc() and ioremap()
- fixmap mappings, primarily used in copy_user_pages() to create
kernel mappings of user pages with the correct cache colour.
To optimise the TLB miss handler we don't want to add an additional
condition which checks whether the faulting address is in the user or
the kernel portion of the address space, and so all page tables have a
common portion which describes the kernel part of the address
space. As the SH4 uses a two level page table, only the kernel portion
of first level page table (the pgd entries) is duplicated. These all
point to the same second level entries (the pte's), and so no memory
is wasted.
The reference page table for the kernel is called the swapper_pg_dir,
and when a new page table is created for a new process the kernel
portion of the page table is copied from swapper_pg_dir. This works
fine when changes only occur in the second level of the kernel's page
table, or the first level entries are created before any new user
processes. However if a change occurs to the first level of the page
table, and there are existing processes which don't have this entry in
their page table, this new entry needs to be added. This is done on
demand, when the kernel accesses a P3 address which isn't mapped using
the current page table, the code in vmalloc_fault() copies the entry
from the reference page table (swapper_pg_dir) into the current
processes page table.
The bug which this patch addresses is that the code in vmalloc_fault()
was not copying addresses which fell in the dma_alloc_coherent()
portion of the address space, and it should have been copying any P3
address.
Why we hadn't seen this before, and what made this hard to reproduce,
is that normally the kernel will have called dma_alloc_coherent(), and
accessed the memory mapping created, before any user process
runs. Typically drivers such as USB or SATA will have created and used
mappings of this type during the kernel initialisation, when probing
for the attached devices, before init runs. Ethernet is slightly
different, as it normally only creates and accesses
dma_alloc_coherent() mappings when the network is brought up, but if
kernel level IP configuration is used this will also occur before any
user space process runs. So the first reproduction of this problem
which we saw was occurred when USB and SATA were removed from the
kernel, and then bring up Ethernet from user space using ifconfig.
I'd like to thank Joseph Bormolini who did the hard work reducing the
problem to this simple to reproduce criteria.
In your case the situation is slightly different, and turns out to
depends on the exact kernel configuration (which we had) and your
ramdisk contents (which we didn't - hence the need for some assumptions).
In this case the problem is a side effect of kernel level module
loading. Kernel subsystems sometimes trigger the load of kernel
modules directly, for example the crypto subsystem tries to load the
cryptomgr and MTD tries to load modules for Flash partitioning if
these are not built into the kernel. This is done by the kernel
creating a user process which runs insmod to try and load the
appropriate module.
In order for this to cause problems the system must be running with a
initrd or initramfs, which contains an insmod executable - if the
kernel can't find an insmod to run, no user process is created, and
the problem doesn't occur. If an insmod is found, a process is
created to run it, which will inherit the kernel portion of the
swapper_pg_dir first level page table. It doesn't matter whether the
inmod is successful or not, but when the the kernel scheduler context
switches back to the kernel initialisation thread, the insmod's mm is
'borrowed' by the kernel thread, as it doesn't have an address space
of its own. (Reference counting is used to ensure this mm is not
destroyed, even though the user process which caused its creation may no
longer exist.) If this address space doesn't have a first level page
table entry for the consistent mappings, and a driver tries to access
such a mapping, we are in the same situation as described above,
except this time in a kernel thread rather than a user thread
executing inside the kernel.

Here is another fixes series for AT91 designed for 3.4-rc.
We experienced some issues while compiling some drivers as modules: Joachim has
corrected several of them. We may reduce this number of exported values by
reworking some drivers, in the future.
Some drivers are also modified here, I would like to keep them in the series
as the modifications are really related with our recent move to irqdomains or
simply related with compiler annotations.
I keep dmaengine Kconfig modification in this "fixes" series. The DMA
driver will not be available for 9x5 SoC family otherwise.

kvm_set_shared_msr() may not be called in preemptible context,
but vmx_set_msr() does so:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: qemu-kvm/22713
caller is kvm_set_shared_msr+0x32/0xa0 [kvm]
Pid: 22713, comm: qemu-kvm Not tainted 3.4.0-rc3+ #39
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff8131fa82>] debug_smp_processor_id+0xe2/0x100
[<ffffffffa0328ae2>] kvm_set_shared_msr+0x32/0xa0 [kvm]
[<ffffffffa03a103b>] vmx_set_msr+0x28b/0x2d0 [kvm_intel]
...
Making kvm_set_shared_msr() work in preemptible is cleaner, but
it's used in the fast path. Making two variants is overkill, so
this patch just disables preemption around the call.
