Now that kobject_add() is used more than kobject_register() the kernel
wasn't always letting people know that they were doing something wrong.
This change fixes this.
Both usb.h and device.h have collections of convenience macros for
printk() with the KERN_ERR, KERN_WARNING, and KERN_NOTICE severity
levels. This patch adds macros for the KERN_NOTICE level which was
so far uncatered for.
These macros already exist privately in drivers/isdn/gigaset/gigaset.h
(currently in the process of being submitted for the kernel tree)
but they really belong with their brothers and sisters in
include/linux/{device,usb}.h.

[SPARC64]: Fix and re-enable dynamic TSB sizing.
This is good for up to %50 performance improvement of some test cases.
The problem has been the race conditions, and hopefully I've plugged
them all up here.
1) There was a serious race in switch_mm() wrt. lazy TLB
switching to and from kernel threads.
We could erroneously skip a tsb_context_switch() and thus
use a stale TSB across a TSB grow event.
There is a big comment now in that function describing
exactly how it can happen.
2) All code paths that do something with the TSB need to be
guarded with the mm->context.lock spinlock. This makes
page table flushing paths properly synchronize with both
TSB growing and TLB context changes.
3) TSB growing events are moved to the end of successful fault
processing. Previously it was in update_mmu_cache() but
that is deadlock prone. At the end of do_sparc64_fault()
we hold no spinlocks that could deadlock the TSB grow
sequence. We also have dropped the address space semaphore.
While we're here, add prefetching to the copy_tsb() routine
and put it in assembler into the tsb.S file. This piece of
code is quite time critical.
There are some small negative side effects to this code which
can be improved upon. In particular we grab the mm->context.lock
even for the tsb insert done by update_mmu_cache() now and that's
a bit excessive. We can get rid of that locking, and the same
lock taking in flush_tsb_user(), by disabling PSTATE_IE around
the whole operation including the capturing of the tsb pointer
and tsb_nentries value. That would work because anyone growing
the TSB won't free up the old TSB until all cpus respond to the
TSB change cross call.
I'm not quite so confident in that optimization to put it in
right now, but eventually we might be able to and the description
is here for reference.
This code seems very solid now. It passes several parallel GCC
bootstrap builds, and our favorite "nut cruncher" stress test which is
a full "make -j8192" build of a "make allmodconfig" kernel. That puts
about 256 processes on each cpu's run queue, makes lots of process cpu
migrations occur, causes lots of page table and TLB flushing activity,
incurs many context version number changes, and it swaps the machine
real far out to disk even though there is 16GB of ram on this test
system. :-)

The page->flags manipulations done by the D-cache dirty
state tracking was broken because the constants were not

clobbering the upper 32-bits of page->flags all the time.
This doesn't jive well with sparsemem which stores the
section and indexing information in the top 32-bits of
page->flags.
This is yet another sparc64 bug which has been with us
forever.
While we're here, tidy up some things in bootmem_init()

1) Pass min_low_pfn to init_bootmem_node(), it's identical
to (phys_base >> PAGE_SHIFT) but we should use consistent
with the variable names we print in CONFIG_BOOTMEM_DEBUG
2) max_mapnr, although no longer used, was being set

[SPARC64]: Fix bugs in SUN4V cpu mondo dispatch.
There were several bugs in the SUN4V cpu mondo dispatch code.
In fact, if we ever got a EWOULDBLOCK or other error from
the hypervisor call, we'd potentially send a cpu mondo multiple
times to the same cpu and even worse we could loop until the
timeout resending the same mondo over and over to such cpus.
So let's bulletproof this thing as follows:
1) Implement cpu_mondo_send() and cpu_state() hypervisor calls
in arch/sparc64/kernel/entry.S, add prototypes to asm/hypervisor.h
2) Don't build and update the cpulist using inline functions, this
was causing the cpu mask to not get updated in the caller.
3) Disable interrupts during the entire mondo send, otherwise our
cpu list and/or mondo block could get overwritten if we take
an interrupt and do a cpu mondo send on the current cpu.
4) Check for all possible error return types from the cpu_mondo_send()
hypervisor call. In particular:
HV_EOK) Our work is done, all cpus have received the mondo.
HV_CPUERROR) One or more of the cpus in the cpu list we passed
to the hypervisor are in error state. Use cpu_state()
calls over the entries in the cpu list to see which
ones. Record them in "error_mask" and report this
after we are done sending the mondo to cpus which are
not in error state.
HV_EWOULDBLOCK) We need to keep trying.
Any other error we consider fatal, we report the event and exit
immediately.
5) We only timeout if forward progress is not made. Forward progress
is defined as having at least one cpu get the mondo successfully
in a given cpu_mondo_send() call. Otherwise we bump a counter
and delay a little. If the counter hits a limit, we signal an
error and report the event.
Also, smp_call_function_mask() error handling reports the number
of cpus incorrectly.

[SPARC64]: Fix %tstate ASI handling in start_thread{,32}()
Niagara helps us find a ancient bug in the sparc64 port :-)
The ASI_* values are plain constant defines, thus signed 32-bit
on sparc64. To put shift this into the regs->tstate value we were
doing or'ing "(ASI_PNF << 24)" into there.
ASI_PNF is 0x82 and shifted left by 24 makes that topmost bit the
sign bit in a 32-bit value. This would get sign extended to 64-bits
and thus corrupt the top-half of the reg->tstate value.
This never caused problems in pre-Niagara cpus because the only thing
up there were the condition code values. But Niagara has the global
register level field, and this all 1's value is illegal there so
Niagara gives an illegal instruction trap due to this bug.
I'm pretty sure this bug is about as old as the sparc64 port itself.
