This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across
all architectures that implement it.
It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in
interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a
panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at
all.
This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message
accordinly. I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is
too long, feedback welcome.
For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour.
Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is
already not present.

it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common

IRQs need refcounting and a state flag to track whether the the IRQ should
be enabled or disabled as a "normal IRQ" source after a series of calls to

Likewise, IRQs need the same support to track whether the IRQ should be

right now they _don't have_ that refcounting ... which means sharing a

This patch adds the refcount and flag mechanisms to set_irq_wake() -- which
is what {en,dis}able_irq_wake() call -- and minimal documentation of what
the irq wake mechanism does.

Calgary hits a NULL pointer dereference when booting in a multi-chassis
NUMA system. See Redhat bugzilla number 198498, found by Konrad
Rzeszutek (konradr@redhat.com).
There are many issues that had to be resolved to fix this problem.
Firstly when I originally wrote the code to handle NUMA systems, I
had a large misunderstanding that was not corrected until now. That was
that I thought the "number of nodes online" referred to number of
physical systems connected. So that if NUMA was disabled, there
would only be 1 node and it would only show that node's PCI bus.
In reality if NUMA is disabled, the system displays all of the
connected chassis as one node but is only ignorant of the delays
in accessing main memory. Therefore, references to num_online_nodes()
and MAX_NUMNODES are incorrect and need to be set to the maximum
number of nodes that can be accessed (which are 8). I created a
variable, MAX_NUM_CHASSIS, and set it to 8 to fix this.
Secondly, when walking the PCI in detect_calgary, the code only
checked the first "slot" when looking to see if a device is present.
This will work for most cases, but unfortunately it isn't always the
case. In the NUMA MXE drawers, there are USB devices present on the
3rd slot (with slot 1 being empty). So, to work around this, all
slots (up to 8) are scanned to see if there are any devices present.
Lastly, the bus is being enumerated on large systems in a different
way the we originally thought. This throws the ugly logic we had
out the window. To more elegantly handle this, I reorganized the
kva array to be sparse (which removed the need to have any bus number
to kva slot logic in tce.c) and created a secondary space array to
contain the bus number to phb mapping.
With these changes Calgary boots on an x460 with 4 nodes with and
without NUMA enabled.

Fix robust PI-futexes to be properly unlocked on unexpected exit.
For this to work the kernel has to know whether a futex is a PI or a

relevant glibc data structures is extremely scarce, the best solution is
to encode the 'PI' information in bit 0 of the robust list pointer.
Existing (non-PI) glibc robust futexes have this bit always zero, so the
ABI is kept. New glibc with PI-robust-futexes will set this bit.

incomplete backtraces.
So when this happens dump the rest of the stack with the old unwinder
instead of silently not dumping it. There was already a optional
"both" mode that dumped both, but that was too ugly.
I also clarified the headers for the different backtraces a bit.
Also add a clear error message for missing dwarf2

a NMI happens before the illegal page fault exception is raised

oops. NMIs have a higher priority than exceptions so that could
happen.

[PATCH] Reorganize the cpufreq cpu hotplug locking to not be totally bizare
The patch below moves the cpu hotplugging higher up in the cpufreq
layering; this is needed to avoid recursive taking of the cpu hotplug
lock and to otherwise detangle the mess.
The new rules are:
1. you must do lock_cpu_hotplug() around the following functions:
__cpufreq_driver_target
__cpufreq_governor (for CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS operation only)
__cpufreq_set_policy
2. governer methods (.governer) must NOT take the lock_cpu_hotplug()
lock in any way; they are called with the lock taken already
3. if your governer spawns a thread that does things, like calling
__cpufreq_driver_target, your thread must honor rule #1.
4. the policy lock and other cpufreq internal locks nest within
the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock.
I'm not entirely happy about how the __cpufreq_governor rule ended up
(conditional locking rule depending on the argument) but basically all
callers pass this as a constant so it's not too horrible.
The patch also removes the cpufreq_governor() function since during the
locking audit it turned out to be entirely unused (so no need to fix it)
The patch works on my testbox, but it could use more testing
(otoh... it can't be much worse than the current code)
