[POWERPC] Change rheap functions to use ulongs instead of pointers
The rheap allocation functions return a pointer, but the actual value is based
on how the heap was initialized, and so it can be anything, e.g. an offset
into a buffer. A ulong is a better representation of the value returned by
the allocation functions.
This patch changes all of the relevant rheap functions to use a unsigned long
integers instead of a pointer. In case of an error, the value returned is
a negative error code that has been cast to an unsigned long. The caller can
use the IS_ERR_VALUE() macro to check for this.
All code which calls the rheap functions is updated accordingly. Macros
IS_MURAM_ERR() and IS_DPERR(), have been deleted in favor of IS_ERR_VALUE().
Also added error checking to rh_attach_region().

The SLUB allocator relies on struct page fields first_page and slab,

SLUB on PowerPC, which uses kmem_caches for its pagetables. So convert

The basic issue is to be able to do what hugetlbfs does but with
different page sizes for some other special filesystems; more
specifically, my need is:
- Huge pages
- SPE local store mappings using 64K pages on a 4K base page size
kernel on Cell
- Some special 4K segments in 64K-page kernels for mapping a dodgy
type of powerpc-specific infiniband hardware that requires 4K MMU
mappings for various reasons I won't explain here.
The main issues are:
- To maintain/keep track of the page size per "segment" (as we can
only have one page size per segment on powerpc, which are 256MB
divisions of the address space).
- To make sure special mappings stay within their allotted
"segments" (including MAP_FIXED crap)
- To make sure everybody else doesn't mmap/brk/grow_stack into a
"segment" that is used for a special mapping
Some of the necessary mechanisms to handle that were present in the
hugetlbfs code, but mostly in ways not suitable for anything else.
The patch relies on some changes to the generic get_unmapped_area()
that just got merged. It still hijacks hugetlb callbacks here or
there as the generic code hasn't been entirely cleaned up yet but
that shouldn't be a problem.
So what is a slice ? Well, I re-used the mechanism used formerly by our
hugetlbfs implementation which divides the address space in
"meta-segments" which I called "slices". The division is done using
256MB slices below 4G, and 1T slices above. Thus the address space is
divided currently into 16 "low" slices and 16 "high" slices. (Special
case: high slice 0 is the area between 4G and 1T).
Doing so simplifies significantly the tracking of segments and avoids
having to keep track of all the 256MB segments in the address space.
While I used the "concepts" of hugetlbfs, I mostly re-implemented
everything in a more generic way and "ported" hugetlbfs to it.
Slices can have an associated page size, which is encoded in the mmu
context and used by the SLB miss handler to set the segment sizes. The
hash code currently doesn't care, it has a specific check for hugepages,
though I might add a mechanism to provide per-slice hash mapping
functions in the future.
The slice code provide a pair of "generic" get_unmapped_area() (bottomup
and topdown) functions that should work with any slice size. There is
some trickiness here so I would appreciate people to have a look at the
implementation of these and let me know if I got something wrong.

[POWERPC] Small fixes & cleanups in segment page size demotion
The code for demoting segments to 4K had some issues, like for example,
when using _PAGE_4K_PFN flag, the first CPU to hit it would do the
demotion, but other CPUs hitting the same page wouldn't properly flush
their SLBs if mmu_ci_restriction isn't set. There are also potential
issues with hash_preload not handling _PAGE_4K_PFN. All of these are
non issues on current hardware but might bite us in the future.
This patch thus fixes it by:
- Taking the test comparing the mm and current CPU context page
sizes to decide to flush SLBs out of the mmu_ci_restrictions test
since that can also be triggered by _PAGE_4K_PFN pages
- Due to the above being done all the time, demote_segment_4k
doesn't need update the context and flush the SLB
- demote_segment_4k can be static and doesn't need an EXPORT_SYMBOL
- Making hash_preload ignore anything that has either _PAGE_4K_PFN
or _PAGE_NO_CACHE set, thus avoiding duplication of the complicated
logic in hash_page() (and possibly making hash_preload a little bit
faster for the normal case).

[SPARC64] PCI: Use root list of pbm's instead of pci_controller_info's
The idea is to move more and more things into the pbm,
with the eventual goal of eliminating the pci_controller_info
entirely as there really isn't any need for it.
This stage of the transformations requires some reworking of
the PCI error interrupt handling.
It might be tricky to get rid of the pci_controller_info parenting for
a few reasons:
1) When we get an uncorrectable or correctable error we want
to interrogate the IOMMU and streaming cache of both
PBMs for error status. These errors come from the UPA
front-end which is shared between the two PBM PCI bus
segments.
Historically speaking this is why I choose the datastructure
hierarchy of pci_controller_info-->pci_pbm_info
2) The probing does a portid/devhandle match to look for the
'other' pbm, but this is entirely an artifact and can be
eliminated trivially.
What we could do to solve #1 is to have a "buddy" pointer from one pbm
to another.

This problem stems from continuously writing text to the system console (which

- consolidate all return values into a single local variable
- ensure that return values are valid error codes
- fix fb_set_var() returning success when fb_check_caps() failed

atyfb: reorganize clock init
Reorganize atyfb clock init code so command line clock overrides are effective
for all chips. The old code would silently ignore some of the command line
clock overrides with some chips.

vga: vgastate fix
1) sets 'palette access disabled' during read from AR10.
This is usually documented as needed for access AR01-AR0F,
but on ARK Logic card it is needed for AR10 (otherwise read
returns some nonsence and save_vga_text() returns before do
anything).
2) do not restore AR10, because it was not changed during
3) remove modification of misc reg:
/* force graphics mode */
vga_w(state->vgabase, VGA_MIS_W, misc | 1);
as comment is misleading - LSB of misc reg does not set/reset graphics
mode, but set color/mono adresses of CRT and some other regs.
but these regs are not used during save/restore fonts.
(it worked even when (misc | 1) was replaced by (misc & ~1) ).

Implement fb_get_caps(). This will allow the driver to tell upper layer that
it can only support 256 8x16 bitmaps when in tileblitting mode
(var->bits_per_pixel == 0);
Check if the mode can properly display the screen. This will be needed by
drivers where the capability is not constant with each mode. The function
fb_set_var() will query fbcon the requirement, then it will query the driver
(via a new hook fb_get_caps()) its capability. If the driver's capability
cannot handle fbcon's requirement, then fb_set_var() will fail.
For example, if a particular driver supports 2 modes where:
mode1 = can only display 8x16 bitmaps
mode2 = can display any bitmap
then if current mode = mode2 and current font = 12x22

nvidiafb: prevent triggering of softlockup
If the chip locks up, we get into a long polling loop,
where the softlockup detector kicks in.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=151878
for an example.
[adaplas]
Chip lockup can occur at 3 points (flush, sync, and wait). Consolidate and
allow the driver to go to safe mode cleanly.

pm2fb: pixclock setting restriction
This patch adds restrictions to calculations of m, n and p factors
which sets the pixclock for the Permedia 2V. I found during tests
that synchronization is unstable if m (divisor) is bigger than
half of the n (numerator). The patch disallows such settings
combination.

fbdev: save the activate field before calling fb_check_var()
Some drivers may reset the var->activate field on fb_check_var(). This can
lead to undefined behavior. For example, doing fbset -a <option> with vga16fb
will only modify the active console instead of modifying all.
