Previously, init failed to do anything meaningful;
it turns out that the reason is that FD-PIC has a readonly data
section which can be located in the XIP filesystem, and various address checks
in the kernel reject such addresses for syscall arguments. Hence, init's
execve ("/bin/sh", ...)
failed with error code EFAULT.
There's room for improvement here: in case people want to have filesystems
on flash rather than in main memory, _access_ok should be modified to
allow this.
This bug fix is also dedicated to Michael Hennerich.

The function flush_switched_dcplbs was clearing the CPLB entries covering
the process permission bitmasks. This means that the sequence
flush_switched_dcplbs ();
set_mask_dcplbs(mm->context.page_rwx_mask);
has a problem: if kernel code (such as an interrupt) causes a CPLB miss before
set_mask_dcplbs completes, the CPLB handler function causes a double fault,
with an instantaneous reboot.
This bug fix is dedicated to Michael Hennerich, the only person in the world
capable of providing working JTAG hardware.

This is a rather old performance improvement for the signal handling
code, which was originally only committed on the 2007R1 branch as a
workaround for what we suspected to be a hardware bug.
There's no point in constructing a sigreturn stub on the stack and
flushing caches; we can just make signal handlers return to a known
location in the fixed code area.

relocate MAX_SWITCH_{D,I}_CPLBS from the header to the file
where it actually gets used. this way when we change
CONFIG_MEM_SIZE in our kconfig, we only rebuild one or two files
rather than a whole bunch that implicitly include cplb.h.
this will also remove the ability to clear the swapcount on
the fly, but i really dont think that functionality is important.
ultimate goal is for CONFIG_MEM_SIZE to go away and calculate
this value on the fly based on what u-boot programmed for us.

Since
r3658 | vapier | 2007-09-12 16:26:11 +0200 (Wed, 12 Sep 2007) | 1 line
add more common defines for output sections
we've had a new line, NOTES, in our linker script, which causes upstream
binutils to complain about "missing phdr". Currently the only other arch
that uses NOTES is i386, and the patch which added it also added
PHDRS {
text PT_LOAD FLAGS(5); /* R_E */
data PT_LOAD FLAGS(7); /* RWE */
note PT_NOTE FLAGS(0); /* ___ */
}
and a few other modifications to use ":text" and ":data" to the linker
script.
It seems that we don't need NOTES at all, so just remove it.

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C

Commit d3d74453c3 ("hrtimer: fixup the
HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ fallback") broke several archs, and since
only Russell bothered to merge the fix, and Greg to ACK his arch, I'm
sending this for merger.
I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel.
That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested.
The deadlock in question was found by Russell:
IRQ handle
-> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write
-> update_process_times()
-> run_local_timers()
-> hrtimer_run_queues()
-> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock
Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be
done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be
removed from under it.

Move the init sections to the end of memory so that after they
are free, run time memory is all continugous - this should help decrease
memory fragementation.
When doing this, we also pack some of the other sections a little closer
together, to make sure we don't waste memory. To make this happen,
we need to rename the .data.init_task section to .init_task.data, so
it doesn't get picked up by the linker script glob.

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.
This patch:
Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.
Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().
