At present, the __spufs_trap_data_map and __spu_trap_data_seq functions
exit if spu->flags has the SPU_CONTEXT_SWITCH_ACTIVE set. This was
resulting in suprious returns from these functions, as they may be
legitimately called when we have this bit set.

flag completely. This fixes hangs in the page-fault path of SPE apps.

2.6.25 has a regression where we can starve the scheduler by creating
(N_SPES+1) contexts, then running them one at a time.
The final context will never be run, as the other contexts are loaded on
the SPEs, none of which are repoted as free (ie, spu->alloc_state !=
SPU_FREE), so spu_get_idle() doesn't give us a spu to run on. Because
all of the contexts are stopped, none are descheduled by the scheduler
tick, as spusched_tick returns if spu_stopped(ctx).
This change replaces the spu_stopped() check with checking for SCHED_IDLE
in ctx->policy. We set a context's policy to SCHED_IDLE when we're not
in spu_run(). We also favour SCHED_IDLE contexts when looking for contexts
to unbind, but leave their timeslice intact for later resumption.

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.
Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
<dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers. Common case
(one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a
supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path.
- Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback.
Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the
callback instead of the marker site.
Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
preempt disable section.
- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
armed.
Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.
This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
"arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
va_list * instead of a "...".
If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.
It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :
Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

This fixes the behavior of spufs when a spu tries a DMA operation
based on a wrong / unavailable address.
Instead of just generating a SIGBUS signal, spufs now
generates a SIGSEGV signal and restarts the problematic DMA operation
after the execution of the application's signal handler. This allows
applications to employ user-level paging systems.
Although the restart_dma function is called before the application's
signal handler, the operation is not actually performed at this time,
since the spu context is already stopped. The operation only takes
place when spu_run is restarted (which happens automatically).

Add platform specific SPU run control routines to the spufs. The current
spufs implementation uses the SPU master run control bit (MFC_SR1[S]) to
control SPE execution, but the PS3 hypervisor does not support the use of
this feature.
This change adds the run control wrapper routies spu_enable_spu() and
spu_disable_spu(). The bare metal routines use the master run control
bit, and the PS3 specific routines use the priv2 run control register.
An outstanding enhancement for the PS3 would be to add a guard to check
for incorrect access to the spu problem state when the spu context is
disabled. This check could be implemented with a flag added to the spu
context that would inhibit mapping problem state pages, and a routine
to unmap spu problem state pages. When the spu is enabled with
ps3_enable_spu() the flag would be set allowing pages to be mapped,
and when the spu is disabled with ps3_disable_spu() the flag would be
cleared and mapped problem state pages would be unmapped.

This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for

We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.
We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments. That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
