Mimicks almost perfectly the powerpc IOMMU code, except that it

2f569afd9c CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.
Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390.  These sub-page
page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
instruction with KVM.  The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
(pgste).  The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
instruction.  The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.

Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K.  That means
the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
page.  Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
accessible since its not kmapped).

Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
pgtable_t.  For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
later patch.  For everybody else it will be a (struct page *).  The
additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
a destructor pgtable_page_dtor.  The page table allocation and free
functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
freed.  pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
 To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added.  It replaces the pmd_page
call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

7fa3031500 aout: suppress A.OUT library support if !CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT
Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.

Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case.  Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.

To make this work, this patch also does the following:

 (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
     CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.

 (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
     core dumping code.

 (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline.  This
     is then included only where needed.  This means that this bit of arch
     code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
     the core kernel.

 (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
     needed) and FRV.

This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

80af4eeb72 Add cmpxchg_local to sparc64
Use cmpxchg_u32 and cmpxchg_u64 for cmpxchg_local and cmpxchg64_local. For other
type sizes, use the new generic cmpxchg_local (disables interrupt).

Change:
Since the header depends on local_irqsave/local_irqrestore, it must be
included after their declaration.

Actually, being below the
#include <linux/irqflags.h> should be enough, and on sparc64 it is
included at the beginning of system.h.

So it makes sense to move it up for sparc64.

Changeset fde6a3c82d ("iommu sg merging:
sparc64: make iommu respect the segment size limits") broke sparc64
because whilst it added the segment limiting code to the first pass of
SG mapping (in prepare_sg()) it did not add matching code to the
second pass handling (in fill_sg())

As a result the two passes disagree where the segment boundaries
should be, resulting in OOPSes, DMA corruption, and corrupted
superblocks.

8f361453d8 [SPARC64]: Fix two kernel linear mapping setup bugs.
This was caught and identified by Greg Onufer.

Since we setup the 256M/4M bitmap table after taking over the trap
table, it's possible for some 4M mapping to get loaded in the TLB
beforhand which later will be 256M mappings.

This can cause illegal TLB multiple-match conditions.  Fix this by
setting up the bitmap before we take over the trap table.

Next, __flush_tlb_all() was not doing anything on hypervisor
platforms.  Fix by adding sun4v_mmu_demap_all() and calling it.

18dabf473e Change table chaining layout
Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned
long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits:

- Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located
  at sg + 1.
- Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link
  with the two low bits masked off.
- Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
  NULL when passed such an entry.

It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get
and set the page member.

Each MSI queue is serviced by a normal sun4u/sun4v INO interrupt

301feb6524 [SPARC64]: Fix lockdep, particularly on SMP.
As noted by Al Viro, when we try to call prom_set_trap_table()
in the SMP trampoline code we try to take the PROM call spinlock
which doesn't work because the current thread pointer isn't
valid yet and lockdep depends upon that being correct.

Furthermore, we cannot set the current thread pointer register
because it can't be properly dereferenced until we return from
prom_set_trap_table().  Kernel TLB misses only work after that
call.

So do the PROM call to set the trap table directly instead of
going through the OBP library C code, and thus avoid the lock
altogether.

These calls are guarenteed to be serialized fully.

Since there are now no calls to the prom_set_trap_table{_sun4v}()
library functions, they can be deleted.

2) sun4{u,v}_build_msi() should return -ENOMEM instead of
   calling prom_prom() halt with kzalloc() of the interrupt
   data fails.

3) We 'remembered' the MSI number using a singleton in the
   struct device archdata area, this doesn't work for MSI-X
   which can cause multiple MSIs assosciated with one device.

405849610f [MATH-EMU]: Fix underflow exception reporting.
The underflow exception cases were wrong.

This is one weird area of ieee1754 handling in that the underflow
behavior changes based upon whether underflow is enabled in the trap
enable mask of the FPU control register.  As a specific case the Sparc
V9 manual gives us the following description:

--------------------
If UFM = 0:     Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny and a
                loss of accuracy occurs.  Tininess may be detected
                before or after rounding.  Loss of accuracy may be
                either a denormalization loss or an inexact result.

If UFM = 1:     Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny.
                Tininess may be detected before or after rounding.
--------------------

What this amounts to in the packing case is if we go subnormal,
we set underflow if any of the following are true:

1) rounding sets inexact
2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where
   we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this
   should set inexact too
3) underflow is set in FPU control register trap-enable mask

The initially discovered example was "DBL_MIN / 16.0" which
incorrectly generated an underflow.  It should not, unless underflow
is set in the trap-enable mask of the FPU csr.

Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both
inexact and underflow.  The cpu implementations and ieee1754
literature is very clear about this.  This is case #2 above.

However, if underflow is set in the trap enable mask, only underflow
should be set and reported as a trap.  That is handled properly by the
prioritization logic in

arch/sparc{,64}/math-emu/math.c:record_exception().

Based upon a report and test case from Jakub Jelinek.

8163904e66 [SPARC]: Mark SBUS framebuffer ioctls as IGNORE in compat_ioctl.c
They are handled in a ->compat_ioctl() handler, so it's just noise
when compat_ioctl.c warns which occurs when they are used on non-SBUS
framebuffer devices.

ad7ad57c61 [SPARC64]: Fix conflicts in SBUS/PCI/EBUS/ISA DMA handling.
Fully unify all of the DMA ops so that subordinate bus types to
the DMA operation providers (such as ebus, isa, of_device) can
work transparently.

Basically, we just make sure that for every system device we
create, the dev->archdata 'iommu' and 'stc' fields are filled
in.

Then we have two platform variants of the DMA ops, one for SUN4U which
actually programs the real hardware, and one for SUN4V which makes
hypervisor calls.

This also fixes the crashes in parport_pc on sparc64, reported by
Meelis Roos.

c73fcc846c [SPARC]: Fix serial console device detection.
The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which
is wrong.

The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias
or similar to a full path name to the console device.

Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a
colon at the end of the path.  The option area is used to specify
which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a
device node drives multiple ports.  'a' is assumed if the option
specification is missing.

This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator.  The 'output-device'
property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this
is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'.  Instead we saw it
as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console.

The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve
the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too.

Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.
