[PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFT

Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
each arch.  Its definition is sometimes configurable.  Indeed, ia64 defines 5
NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree.  But it looks a bit messy.

SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
been changeable by config.  Suitable node's number may be changed in the
future even if it is other architecture.  So, I wrote configurable node's
number.

This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
nodes except ia64.  But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.

On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
config.  But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too.  So, I
changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT.  It
would be simpler.

Brian Uhrain says [Tue, 11 Apr 2006 05:53:16 +0000 (22:53 -0700)]
[PATCH] alpha: SMP boot fixes

I've encountered two problems with 2.6.16 and newer kernels on my API CS20
(dual 833MHz Alpha 21264b processors).  The first is the kernel OOPSing
because of a NULL pointer dereference while trying to populate SysFS with the
CPU information.  The other is that only one processor was being brought up.
I've included a small Alpha-specific patch that fixes both problems.

The first problem was caused by the CPUs never being properly registered using
register_cpu(), the way it's done on other architectures.

The second problem has to do with the removal of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask in
arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c.  In setup_smp() in the 2.6.15 kernel sources,
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask has a bit set for each processor that is probed, and
afterwards cpu_present_mask is set to the cpumask for the boot CPU.  In the
same function of the same file in the 2.6.16 sources, instead of
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask being set, cpu_possible_map is updated for each probed
CPU.  cpu_present_mask is still set to the cpumask of the boot CPU afterwards.
 The problem lies in include/asm-alpha/smp.h, where cpu_possible_map is
#define'd to be cpu_present_mask.

Cleanups from: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>

 - cpu_present_mask and cpu_possible_map are essentially the same thing
   on alpha, as it doesn't support CPU hotplug;
 - allocate "struct cpu" only for present CPUs, like sparc64 does.
   Static array of "struct cpu" is just a waste of memory.

[PATCH] i386: print EIP/ESP last

Print summary registers (EIP and SS:ESP only) as last death info.  This
makes this important data visible in case it had scrolled off the top of
the display.  Similar to what x86_64 does.  Suggested by Andi Kleen.

[PATCH] swsusp: don't require bigsmp

Switching to automatic bigsmp causes a misleading error message, that more
then 8 cpus are detected, and user needs to select either X86_GENERICARCH
or X86_BIGSMP to handle.

Reason is we switched to bigsmp to avoid IP race when new cpu is comming
up.  [bigsmp is nothing but using physical flat mode that can work for 1 ..
 255 cpus] [default is X86_PC, that uses logical flat mode up to 8 CPUs
max] Current x86_64 code uses bigsmp as default when hotplug is enabled.

It would be preferable to make bigsmp as default, and work the dependencies
of other related code like SMP_SUSPEND, and some related to memory hotplug
code for i386.

Current logical flat mode doesnt use shortcuts that cause the race by using
the send_IPI_mask() instead of shortcuts when HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled.

In the meantime this patch is the path of lease resistance.

We will switch to bigsmp default sometime soon, when we get to work it again.

[PATCH] frv: define MMU mode specific syscalls as 'cond_syscall' and clean up unneeded macros

For some architectures, a few syscalls are not linked in noMMU mode.  In
that case, the MMU depending syscalls are needed to be defined as
'cond_syscall'.  For example, ARM architecture selectively links sys_mlock
by the mode configuration.

In case of FRV, it has been managed by #ifdef CONFIG_MMU macro in
arch/frv/kernel/entry.S.  However these conditional macros are just
duplicates if they were defined as cond_syscall.  Compilation test is done
with FRV toolchains for both of MMU and noMMU mode.
