Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine.
This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. The
vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.
On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following:
# makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile
The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
_exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node.
makedumpfile Failed.
#
The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data.
If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an
x86_64 kernel as non relocatable. As the result, makedumpfile
misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it
cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly.
To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a
vmcoreinfo data.

Work around the CPU clock miscalculation on Au1000DA/HA/HB due the
sys_cpupll register being write-only, i.e. actually do what the comment
before cal_r4off() function advertised for years but the code failed at.
This is achieved by just giving user a chance to define the clock
explicitly in the board config. via CONFIG_SOC_AU1000_FREQUENCY option,
defaulting to 396 MHz if the option is not given...
The patch is based on the AMD's big unpublished patch, the issue seems to
be an undocumented errata (or feature :-)...

Some IOMMUs allocate memory areas spanning LLD's segment boundary limit. It
forces low level drivers to have a workaround to adjust scatter lists that the
IOMMU builds. We are in the process of making all the IOMMUs respect the
segment boundary limits to remove such work around in LLDs.
SPARC64 IOMMUs were rewritten to use the IOMMU helper functions and the commit
89c94f2f70 made the IOMMUs not allocate memory
areas spanning the segment boundary limit.
However, SPARC64 IOMMUs allocate memory areas first then try to merge them
(while some IOMMUs walk through all the sg entries to see how they can be
merged first and allocate memory areas). So SPARC64 IOMMUs also need the
boundary limit checking when they try to merge sg entries.

There is a bug in the powerpc DABR (data access breakpoint) handling,
which can result in us missing breakpoints if several threads are trying
to break on the same address.
The circumstances are that do_page_fault() calls do_dabr(), this clears
the DABR (sets it to 0) and sets up the signal which will report to
userspace that the DABR was hit. The do_signal() code will restore the DABR
value on the way out to userspace.
If we reschedule before calling do_signal(), __switch_to() will check the
cached DABR value and compare it to the new thread's value, if they match
we don't set the DABR in hardware.
So if two threads have the same DABR value, and we schedule from one to
the other after taking the interrupt for the first thread hitting the DABR,
the second thread will run without the DABR set in hardware.
The cleanest fix is to move the cache update into set_dabr(), that way we
can't forget to do it.

We need to set up the shared_info pointer once we've mapped the real
shared_info into its fixmap slot. That needs to happen once the general
pagetable setup has been done. Previously, the UP shared_info was set
up one in xen_start_kernel, but that was left pointing to the dummy
shared info. Unfortunately there's no really good place to do a later
setup of the shared_info in UP, so just do it once the pagetable setup
has been done.

xen_irq_enable_direct and xen_sysexit were using "andw $0x00ff,
XEN_vcpu_info_pending(vcpu)" to unmask events and test for pending ones
in one instuction.
Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation
since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this
operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor
to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock.
The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather
costly and unnecessary. The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and
pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between
them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will
be processed.
This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.

fix the 3D performance drop reported at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328
fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with
WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both
ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This
breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead
of expected WC.
The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the
absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the
fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API.
We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now,
revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

otherwise setup_memory() is called two times... that is duplicated...
[ mingo@elte.hu: both Thomas and me simulated a double call to
setup_bootmem_allocator() and can confirm that it is a real bug
which can hang in certain configs. It's not been reported yet but
that is probably due to the relatively scarce nature of
