[PATCH] powerpc: Allow devices to register with numa topology
Change of_node_to_nid() to traverse the device tree, looking for a numa id.
Cell uses this to assign ids to SPUs, which are children of the CPU node.
Existing users of of_node_to_nid() are altered to use of_node_to_nid_single(),
which doesn't do the traversal.
Export an attach_sysdev_to_node() function, allowing system devices (eg.
SPUs) to link themselves into the numa topology in sysfs.

We need to have a mem_map for high addresses in order to make fops->no_page

memory_present() function during early bootup, but that did not work when

[PATCH] page migration: Fix fallback behavior for dirty pages
Currently we check PageDirty() in order to make the decision to swap out
the page. However, the dirty information may be only be contained in the
ptes pointing to the page. We need to first unmap the ptes before checking
for PageDirty(). If unmap is successful then the page count of the page
will also be decreased so that pageout() works properly.
This is a fix necessary for 2.6.17. Without this fix we may migrate dirty
pages for filesystems without migration functions. Filesystems may keep
pointers to dirty pages. Migration of dirty pages can result in the
filesystem keeping pointers to freed pages.
Unmapping is currently not be separated out from removing all the
references to a page and moving the mapping. Therefore try_to_unmap will
be called again in migrate_page() if the writeout is successful. However,
it wont do anything since the ptes are already removed.
The coming updates to the page migration code will restructure the code
so that this is no longer necessary.

[PATCH] uml: cleanup unprofile expression and build infrastructure
*) Rather than duplicate in various buggy ways the application of
CFLAGS_NO_HARDENING and UNPROFILE (which apply to the same files),
centralize it in Makefile.rules. UNPROFILE_OBJS mustn't be listed in
USER_OBJS but are compiled as such.
I've also verified that unprofile didn't work in the current form, because we
set _c_flags directly (using CFLAGS and not USER_CFLAGS, which is wrong),
which is normally used by c_flags, but we also override c_flags for all
USER_OBJS, and there we don't call unprofile.
Instead it only worked for unmap.o, the only one which wasn't a USER_OBJ.
We need to set c_flags (which is not a public Kbuild API) to clear a lot of
compilation flags like -nostdinc which Kbuild forces on everything.
*) Rather than $(CFLAGS_$(notdir $@)), which expands to CFLAGS_anObj.s when
building "anObj.s", use $(CFLAGS_$(*F).o) which always accesses
CFLAGS_anObj.o, like done by Kbuild.

Running abnormal VM splits causes weird problems - people can set non-standard
splits by accident, then lots of time gets wasted diagnosing it - see the long
"[stable] 2.6.16.6 breaks java... sort of" email thread.
So we need to make this option harder to set. Use CONFIG_EMBEDDED for this.
CONFIG_EMBEDDED isn't really the right thing to use, but there's nothing else
obvious and avoiding these problems is more important than Kconfig purity.

CPU_HOTPLUG has race conditions when we use broadcast mode IPI.
- First we introduced no_broadcast option
(see include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_ipi.h)
- x86_64 solved it by using physical flat mode (same as bigsmp on i386)
since this will not use broadcast shortcuts for IPI.
- We switched to use bigsmp on i386 so that we can have same handling as
x86_64, but apparently this caused an error message, if kernel was
compiled without X86_GENERICARCH, X86_BIGSMP. The message "You have >8
CPUS..." which was bogus and misleading, and only indicated one of the
above ARCH wasnt selected.
So we do not switch to automatic bigsmp for HOTPLUG_CPU support in i386
until the other related config dependencies for SMP_SUSPEND etc can be done
right.

[PATCH] tipar oops fix
If compiled into the kernel, parport_register_driver() is called before the
parport driver has been initalised.
This means that it is expected that tp_count is 0 after the
parport_register_driver() call() - tipar's attach function will not be
called until later during bootup.

Current address translation methods can produce wrong results, because
virt_to_bus and vice versa may not produce correct offsets on dma-allocated
memory. The right way is, while tracking both phys and virt address of the
window that has been allocated for boffer descriptors, and use those
numbers to compute the offset and make translation properly.

Some people report that we die on some Macs when we are expecting to

it happen on my dual G4 with serial ports until we fixed those to use

This expands the use of check_legacy_ioport() to avoid that situation

[PATCH] powerpc64: Fix loading of modules without a .toc section
Normally, ppc64 module .ko files contain a table-of-contents (.toc)
section, but if the module doesn't reference any static or external
data or external procedures, it is possible for gcc/binutils to
generate a .ko that doesn't have a .toc. Currently the module
loader refuses to load such a module, since it needs the address
of the .toc section to use in relocations.
This patch fixes the problem by using the address of the .stubs
section instead, which is an acceptable substitute in this situation.

[PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepages
At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings. Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation. With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse. Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.
The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages. Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.
