machine_restart, machine_halt and machine_power_off are machine
specific hooks deep into the reboot logic, that modules
have no business messing with. Usually code should be calling
kernel_restart, kernel_halt, kernel_power_off, or
emergency_restart. So don't export machine_restart,
machine_halt, and machine_power_off so we can catch buggy users.

Current assign_irq_vector() will panic if interrupt vectors is running
out. But I think how to handle the case of lack of interrupt vectors
should be handled by the caller of this function. For example, some
PCI devices can raise the interrupt signal via both MSI and I/O
APIC. So even if the driver for these device fails to allocate a
vector for MSI, the driver still has a chance to use I/O APIC based
interrupt. But currently there is no chance for these driver to use
I/O APIC based interrupt because kernel will panic when
assign_irq_vector() fails to allocate interrupt vector.
The following patch changes assign_irq_vector() for ia64 to return
-ENOSPC on error instead of panic (as i386 and x86_64 versions do).

The following patch implements function return probes for ia64 using
the revised design. With this new design we no longer need to do some
of the odd hacks previous required on the last ia64 return probe port
that I sent out for comments.
Note that this new implementation still does not resolve the problem noted
by Keith Owens where backtrace data is lost after a return probe is hit.
Changes include:
* Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented
functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place
a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler
can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back
to the original return address.
* Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on
kretprobe_trampoline
* Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler
for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation. This is the function
that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function
and returning control back at the original return address
* Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler
for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by
kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when
a caller enters the target function. (A return probe instance contains
all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.)
* Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over
return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function
then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function
but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the
cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs(). The difference being
that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from
cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any
queued external interrupts on the APICs. There are additional changes to s390
and ppc64 to account for this change.
1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus.
3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down.
4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus.
5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus.
6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online.
7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside.
8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others().
9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down.
10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die().
11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs()
12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus.
13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

2) Support Kprobes and Jprobes to exist on the same address
3) Support Return probes
3) Architecture independent cleanup of kprobes

This patch contains the ia64 uncached page allocator and the generic
allocator (genalloc). The uncached allocator was formerly part of the SN2
mspec driver but there are several other users of it so it has been split
off from the driver.
The generic allocator can be used by device driver to manage special memory
etc. The generic allocator is based on the allocator from the sym53c8xx_2
driver.
Various users on ia64 needs uncached memory. The SGI SN architecture requires
it for inter-partition communication between partitions within a large NUMA
cluster. The specific user for this is the XPC code. Another application is
large MPI style applications which use it for synchronization, on SN this can
be done using special 'fetchop' operations but it also benefits non SN
hardware which may use regular uncached memory for this purpose. Performance
of doing this through uncached vs cached memory is pretty substantial. This
is handled by the mspec driver which I will push out in a seperate patch.
Rather than creating a specific allocator for just uncached memory I came up
with genalloc which is a generic purpose allocator that can be used by device
drivers and other subsystems as they please. For instance to handle onboard
device memory. It was derived from the sym53c7xx_2 driver's allocator which
is also an example of a potential user (I am refraining from modifying sym2
right now as it seems to have been under fairly heavy development recently).
On ia64 memory has various properties within a granule, ie. it isn't safe to
access memory as uncached within the same granule as currently has memory
accessed in cached mode. The regular system therefore doesn't utilize memory
in the lower granules which is mixed in with device PAL code etc. The
uncached driver walks the EFI memmap and pulls out the spill uncached pages
and sticks them into the uncached pool. Only after these chunks have been
utilized, will it start converting regular cached memory into uncached memory.
Hence the reason for the EFI related code additions.

This is the core of the (much simplified) early reclaim. The goal of this
patch is to reclaim some easily-freed pages from a zone before falling back
onto another zone.
One of the major uses of this is NUMA machines. With the default allocator
behavior the allocator would look for memory in another zone, which might be
off-node, before trying to reclaim from the current zone.
This adds a zone tuneable to enable early zone reclaim. It is selected on a
per-zone basis and is turned on/off via syscall.
Adding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch
4/4). Without the machine would grind to a crawl when doing a "make -j"
kernel build. Even with this patch the System Time is higher on
average, but it seems tolerable. Here are some numbers for kernbench
runs on a 2-node, 4cpu, 8Gig RAM Altix in the "make -j" run:
wall user sys %cpu ctx sw. sleeps
---- ---- --- ---- ------ ------
No patch 1009 1384 847 258 298170 504402
w/patch, no reclaim 880 1376 667 288 254064 396745
w/patch & reclaim 1079 1385 926 252 291625 548873
These numbers are the average of 2 runs of 3 "make -j" runs done right
after system boot. Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so
these numbers aren't terribly useful except to seee that with reclaim
the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time.
I also looked at the NUMA hit/miss stats for the "make -j" runs and the
reclaim doesn't make any difference when the machine is thrashing away.
Doing a "make -j8" on a single node that is filled with page cache pages
takes 700 seconds with reclaim turned on and 735 seconds without reclaim
(due to remote memory accesses).

Thus when taking a fault triggered from hugetlb address, it would not
calculate the pgd/pmd/pte address correctly and thus result an incorrect
invocation of ia64_do_page_fault(). In there, kernel will signal SIGBUS
and application dies (The faulting address is perfectly legal and we
have a valid pte for the corresponding user hugetlb address as well).

There've been reports of problems with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and the high
floating point partition. This is caused by the possibility of preemption

The only places where the FPU state is touched are in ptrace, in
switch_to(), and where handling a floating-point exception. In switch_to()
preemption is off. So it's only in trap.c and ptrace.c that we need to
prevent preemption.
Here is a patch that adds commentary to make the conditions clear, and adds
appropriate preempt_{en,dis}able() calls to make it so. In trap.c I use
