[ARM] 5037/1: Orion: fix DNS323/Kurobox Pro PCI initialisation
Whereas most Orion 5x machine support code would initialise the PCI
subsystem with nr_controllers in their struct hw_pci set to 2, the
DNS323 and Kurobox Pro machine support code had nr_controllers set
to 1.
This was presumably done because on those two machines, the PCI(-X)
controller (nr == 1) isn't used, requiring initialisation of only
the PCIe controller (nr == 0.) However, not initialising the PCI(-X)
controller on boards that don't use it leads to a situation where
both the PCIe and the PCI(-X) controller think that their root bus is
zero, and it messes up IRQ assignment.
This patch changes the DNS323 and Kurobox Pro support code to always
use nr_controllers == 2.

x86: disable mwait for AMD family 10H/11H CPUs
x86: fix crash on cpu hotplug on pat-incapable machines
x86: remove mwait capability C-state check
It depends on the CPU. For AMD CPUs that support MWAIT this is wrong.
Family 0x10 and 0x11 CPUs will enter C1 on HLT. Powersavings then
depend on a clock divisor and current Pstate of the core.
If all cores of a processor are in halt state (C1) the processor can
enter the C1E (C1 enhanced) state. If mwait is used this will never
happen.
Thus HLT saves more power than MWAIT here.
It might be best to switch off the mwait flag for these AMD CPU
families like it was introduced with commit f039b754714a422959027cb18bb33760eb8153f0 (x86: Don't use MWAIT on AMD

tty: fix BKL related leak and crash
Enabling the BKL to be lockdep tracked uncovered the following
upstream kernel bug in the tty code, which caused a BKL
reference leak:
================================================
[ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
------------------------------------------------
dmesg/3121 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
1 lock held by dmesg/3121:
#0: (kernel_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02f34d9>] opost+0x24/0x194
this might explain some of the atomicity warnings and crashes
that -tip tree testing has been experiencing since the BKL
was converted back to a spinlock.
The patch aims to fix a performance issue for the syscall
personality(PER_LINUX32).
On IA-64 box, the syscall personality (PER_LINUX32) has poor performance
because it failed to find the Linux/x86 execution domain. Then it tried
to load the kernel module however it failed always and it used the default
execution domain PER_LINUX instead. Requesting kernel modules is very
expensive. It caused the performance issue. (see the function
lookup_exec_domain in kernel/exec_domain.c).
To resolve the issue, execution domain Linux/x86 is always registered in
initialization time for IA-64 architecture.

This changes vmemmap to use a different region (region 0xf) of the
address space, and to configure the page size of that region
dynamically at boot.
The problem with the current approach of always using 16M pages is that
it's not well suited to machines that have small amounts of memory such
as small partitions on pseries, or PS3's.
In fact, on the PS3, failure to allocate the 16M page backing vmmemmap
tends to prevent hotplugging the HV's "additional" memory, thus limiting
the available memory even more, from my experience down to something
like 80M total, which makes it really not very useable.
The logic used by my match to choose the vmemmap page size is:
- If 16M pages are available and there's 1G or more RAM at boot,
use that size.
- Else if 64K pages are available, use that
- Else use 4K pages
I've tested on a POWER6 (16M pages) and on an iSeries POWER3 (4K pages)
and it seems to work fine.
Note that I intend to change the way we organize the kernel regions &
SLBs so the actual region will change from 0xf back to something else at
one point, as I simplify the SLB miss handler, but that will be for a
later patch.

Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype()
returns also random stuff and therefore
in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
necessarily a list.
This happens since 86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456 ("mm: fix
usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets
only initialized for pages present in a zone. Unfortunately for hot-added
memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have
been initialized. Which means that the new pages have an unitialized
bitmap. To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span()
are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.
The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

per_cpu: fix DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for modules
Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform
per_cpu relocation. But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() uses another
section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in
vmlinux.lds, not by module loader.
To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or
using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group
".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu"
for modules.
Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.

memory_hotplug: check for walk_memory_resource() failure in online_pages()
Add a check to online_pages() to test for failure of
walk_memory_resource(). This fixes a condition where a failure
of walk_memory_resource() can lead to online_pages() returning
success without the requested pages being onlined.
