Polish the comments specifically in vhpt_miss and nested_dtlb_miss
handlers. I think it's better to explicitly name each page table
level with its name instead of numerically name them. i.e., use
pgd, pud, pmd, and pte instead of referring as L1, L2, L3 etc.
Along the line, remove some magic number in the comments like:
"PTA + (((IFA(61,63) << 7) | IFA(33,39))*8)". No code change at

From source code inspection, I think there is a bug with 4 level
page table with vhpt_miss handler. In the code path of rechecking
page table entry against previously read value after tlb insertion,
*pte value in register r18 was overwritten with value newly read
from pud pointer, render the check of new *pte against previous
*pte completely wrong. Though the bug is none fatal and the penalty
is to purge the entry and retry. For functional correctness, it
should be fixed. The fix is to use a different register so new
*pud don't trash *pte. (btw, the comments in the cmp statement is
wrong as well, which I will address in the next patch).

Our performance validation on 2.6.15-rc1 caught a disastrous performance
regression on ia64 with netperf (-98%) and volanomark (-58%) compares to
previous kernel version 2.6.14-git7. See the following chart (result
group 1 & 2).
http://kernel-perf.sourceforge.net/results.machine_id=26.html
We have root caused it to commit 64c7c8f885
This changeset broke the ia64 task resched notification. In
sched.c:resched_task(), a reschedule IPI is conditioned upon
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG. However, the above changeset unconditionally set
the polling thread flag for idle tasks regardless whether pal_halt_light
is in use or not. As a result, resched IPI is not sent from
resched_task(). And since the default behavior on ia64 is to use
pal_halt_light, we end up delaying the rescheduling task until next
timer tick, and thus cause the performance regression.
This fixes the performance bug. I'm glad our performance suite is
turning up bad performance bug like this in time.

Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid. Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.
* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.
- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.
- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.
- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.
Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.
* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
(IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.
- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
to the idle thread.
- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.
Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
the idle task.
POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?
Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

Some older firmware reports SLIT distances of 0xff and results in bestnode

The following set of patches are aimed at improving kprobes scalability. We
currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution
using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock.
With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held. It also
allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as
we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis. It is now necessary
that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on
multiple processors.
All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64
has been compile tested only.
The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks:
patch 1: Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls
patches 2-7: Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution
patches 8-9: Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler
execution.

pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal
code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function.
Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this
locking in show_mem(). However, they are all included for completeness. This
should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a
little more straightforward.
This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as
sections are invalidated. This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false
for a memory area that's being removed. The lock is only required when doing
pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a

There was one small but very significant change in the previous patch:
mprotect's flush_tlb_range fell outside the page_table_lock: as it is in 2.4,
but that doesn't prove it safe in 2.6.
On some architectures flush_tlb_range comes to the same as flush_tlb_mm, which
has always been called from outside page_table_lock in dup_mmap, and is so
proved safe. Others required a deeper audit: I could find no reliance on
page_table_lock in any; but in ia64 and parisc found some code which looks a
bit as if it might want preemption disabled. That won't do any actual harm,
so pending a decision from the maintainers, disable preemption there.
Remove comments on page_table_lock from flush_tlb_mm, flush_tlb_range and
flush_tlb_page entries in cachetlb.txt: they were rather misleading (what
generic code does is different from what usually happens), the rules are now
changing, and it's not yet clear where we'll end up (will the generic
tlb_flush_mmu happen always under lock? never under lock? or sometimes under

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.
Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.
Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.
If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).
Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

In arch/ia64/kernel/ptrace.c there is a test for a peek or poke of a
register image (in register backing storage).
The test can be unnecessarily long (and occurs while holding the tasklist_lock).
Especially long on a large system with thousands of active tasks.
The ptrace caller (presumably a debugger) specifies the pid of
its target and an address to peek or poke. But the debugger could be
attached to several tasks.
The idea of find_thread_for_addr() is to find whether the target address
is in the RBS for any of those tasks.
Currently it searches the thread-list of the target pid. If that search
does not find a match, and the shared mm-struct's user count indicates
that there are other tasks sharing this address space (a rare occurrence),
a search is made of all the tasks in the system.
Another approach can drastically shorten this procedure.
It depends upon the fact that in order to peek or poke from/to any task,
the debugger must first attach to that task. And when it does, the
attached task is made a child of the debugger (is chained to its children list).
Therefore we can search just the debugger's children list.

since it uses the global call_lock and always executes on all cpus.
When a process enters flush_tlb_range() to purge TLBs for another
process, it is possible to avoid flush_tlb_all() and instead allow
sn2_global_tlb_purge() to purge TLBs only where necessary.
This patch modifies flush_tlb_range() so that this case can be handled
by platform TLB purge functions and updates ia64_global_tlb_purge()
accordingly. sn2_global_tlb_purge() now calculates the region register
value from the mm argument introduced with this patch.

This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.
We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.
The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.
With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.

I've noticed a kernel hang during a storm of CMC interrupts, which was
tracked down to the continual execution of the interrupt handler.
There's code in the CMC handler that's supposed to disable CMC
interrupts and switch to polling mode when it sees a bunch of CMCs.
Because disabling CMCs across all CPUs isn't safe in interrupt context,
the disable is done with a schedule_work(). But with continual CMC
interrupts, the schedule_work() never gets executed.
The following patch immediately disables CMC interrupts for the current
CPU. This then allows (at least) one CPU to ignore CMC interrupts,
execute the schedule_work() code, and disable CMC interrupts on the rest
of the CPUs.

Some of the SN code & #defines related to compact nodes & IO discovery
have gotten stale over the years. This patch attempts to clean them up.
Some of the various SN MAX_xxx #defines were also unclear & misused.
The primary changes are:
- use MAX_NUMNODES. This is the generic linux #define for the number
of nodes that are known to the generic kernel. Arrays & loops
for constructs that are 1:1 with linux-defined nodes should
use the linux #define - not an SN equivalent.
- use MAX_COMPACT_NODES for MAX_NUMNODES + NUM_TIOS. This is the
number of nodes in the SSI system. Compact nodes are a hack to
get around the IA64 architectural limit of 256 nodes. Large SGI
systems have more than 256 nodes. When we upgrade to ACPI3.0,
I _hope_ that all nodes will be real nodes that are known to
the generic kernel. That will allow us to delete the notion
of "compact nodes".
- add MAX_NUMALINK_NODES for the total number of nodes that
are in the numalink domain - all partitions.
- simplified (understandable) scan_for_ionodes()
- small amount of cleanup related to cnodes

PNP and PNPACPI turned on
i8042 recently changed from ACPI to PNP detection. Without PNP, it
probes legacy I/O ports for the keyboard controller, which causes an
MCA on HP boxes.
Also, I'm about to remove 8250_acpi.c, so we'll need PNP to detect
non-PCI serial ports. Until 8250_acpi.c is removed, some systems
will see serial ports reported twice (once from 8250_acpi.c and again
from 8250_pnp.c). This is harmless.
PNPACPI is still marked EXPERIMENTAL, but I'm not aware of any
outstanding issues on ia64.
IDE_GENERIC turned off (except for SGI simulator, all ia64 IDE is PCI)
ide-generic probes compiled-in legacy I/O ports for IDE devices, which
again causes an MCA. It would be nicer to just get rid of all the
legacy junk from include/asm-ia64/ide.h, but that is a bit riskier
because it could break ide-cs and the HDIO_REGISTER_HWIF ioctl
(http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0508.2/0049.html).

Machine vector selection has always been a bit of a hack given how
early in system boot it needs to be done. Services like ACPI namespace
are not available and there are non-trivial problems to moving them to
early boot. However, there's no reason we can't change to a different
machvec later in boot when the services we need are available. By
adding a entry point for later initialization of the swiotlb, we can add
an error path for the hpzx1 machevec initialization and fall back to the
DIG machine vector if IOMMU hardware isn't found in the system. Since
ia64 uses 4GB for zone DMA (no ISA support), it's trivial to allocate a
contiguous range from the slab for bounce buffer usage.

Pavel Emelianov and Kirill Korotaev observe that fs and arch users of
security_vm_enough_memory tend to forget to vm_unacct_memory when a
failure occurs further down (typically in setup_arg_pages variants).
These are all users of insert_vm_struct, and that reservation will only
be unaccounted on exit if the vma is marked VM_ACCOUNT: which in some
cases it is (hidden inside VM_STACK_FLAGS) and in some cases it isn't.
So x86_64 32-bit and ppc64 vDSO ELFs have been leaking memory into
Committed_AS each time they're run. But don't add VM_ACCOUNT to them,
it's inappropriate to reserve against the very unlikely case that gdb
be used to COW a vDSO page - we ought to do something about that in
do_wp_page, but there are yet other inconsistencies to be resolved.
The safe and economical way to fix this is to let insert_vm_struct do
the security_vm_enough_memory check when it finds VM_ACCOUNT is set.
And the MIPS irix_brk has been calling security_vm_enough_memory before
calling do_brk which repeats it, doubly accounting and so also leaking.
Remove that, and all the fs and arch calls to security_vm_enough_memory:
give it a less misleading name later on.

When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency
chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting
include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke.
With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles
the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare
The dependency chain looks like this now:
prepare
|
+--> prepare0
|
+--> archprepare
|
+--> scripts_basic
+--> prepare1
|
+---> prepare2
|
+--> prepare3
So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc.
This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic
are all updated before archprepare is processed.
prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the
actions performed by archprepare.
The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most
likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility.

This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code. It does the following
things:
- consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
- simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
- encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
- cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.
The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:
include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16
include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16
I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
SMP | UP
----------------------------|-----------------------------------
asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h
linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h
asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h
linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h
linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h
/*
* here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
*

*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:

*
* asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
* implementations, mostly inline assembly code
*
* (also included on UP-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:

*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
*

* (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
*

*
* linux/spinlock_up.h:

are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT
expect any new issues to arise with them.
If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will

that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW

The way this is addressed here is when the CPU that has taken a break hit
does not find its corresponding kprobe, then we check to see if the
original instruction got replaced with other than break. If it got
replaced with other than break instruction, then we continue to execute
from the replaced instruction, else if we find that it is still a break,
then we let the kernel handle this, as this might be the break instruction
inserted by other than kprobe(may be kernel debugger).

I've already sent this to the maintainers, and this is now being sent to a
larger community audience. I have fixed a problem with the ia64 version of
build_sched_domains(), but a similar fix still needs to be made to the
generic build_sched_domains() in kernel/sched.c.
The "dynamic sched domains" functionality has recently been merged into
2.6.13-rcN that sees the dynamic declaration of a cpu-exclusive (a.k.a.
"isolated") cpuset and rebuilds the CPU Scheduler sched domains and sched
groups to separate away the CPUs in this cpu-exclusive cpuset from the
remainder of the non-isolated CPUs. This allows the non-isolated CPUs to
completely ignore the isolated CPUs when doing load-balancing.
Unfortunately, build_sched_domains() expects that a sched domain will
include all the CPUs of each node in the domain, i.e., that no node will
belong in both an isolated cpuset and a non-isolated cpuset. Declaring a
cpuset that violates this presumption will produce flawed data structures
and will oops the kernel.
To trigger the problem (on a NUMA system with >1 CPUs per node):
cd /dev/cpuset
mkdir newcpuset
cd newcpuset
echo 0 >cpus
echo 0 >mems
echo 1 >cpu_exclusive
I have fixed this shortcoming for ia64 NUMA (with multiple CPUs per node).
A similar shortcoming exists in the generic build_sched_domains() (in
kernel/sched.c) for NUMA, and that needs to be fixed also. The fix
involves dynamically allocating sched_group_nodes[] and
sched_group_allnodes[] for each invocation of build_sched_domains(), rather
than using global arrays for these structures. Care must be taken to
remember kmalloc() addresses so that arch_destroy_sched_domains() can
properly kfree() the new dynamic structures.

When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte
entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause
chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts.
CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the
interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well.
Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing.
- Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for
lack of a generic name.
- added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64
- Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq
handling time.
- Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead
it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set.
- Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating
when using generic irq framework.
Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off.
Tested UP builds as well.

did test an earlier version of this patch. Will test in a couple days.

I've solved the problem I was having with the simulator and not
booting Debian.
The problem is that the number of bits for the virtual linear array
short-format VHPT (Virtually mapped linear page table, VMLPT for
short) is being tested incorrectly.
There are two problems:
1. The PAL call that should tell the kernel the size of the
virtual address space isn't implemented for the simulator, so
the kernel uses the default 50. This is addressed separately
in dc90e95f31
2. In arch/ia64/mm/init.c there's code to calcualte the size
of the VMLPT based on the number of implemented virtual address
bits and the page size. It checks to see if the VMLPT base
address overlaps the top of the mapped region, but this check
doesn't allow for the address space hole, and in fact will
never trigger.
Here's an alternative test and panic, that I think is more accurate.

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

This removes sys_set_zone_reclaim() for now. While i'm sure Martin is
trying to solve a real problem, we must not hard-code an incomplete and
insufficient approach into a syscall, because syscalls are pretty much
for eternity. I am quite strongly convinced that this syscall must not
hit v2.6.13 in its current form.
Firstly, the syscall lacks basic syscall design: e.g. it allows the
global setting of VM policy for unprivileged users. (!) [ Imagine an
Oracle installation and a SAP installation on the same NUMA box fighting
over the 'optimal' setting for this flag. What will they do? Will they
try to set the flag to their own preferred value every second or so? ]
Secondly, it was added based on a single datapoint from Martin:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111763597218177&w=2
where Martin characterizes the numbers the following way:
' Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't
terribly useful except to see that with reclaim the benchmark still
finishes in a reasonable amount of time. '
in other words: the fundamental problem has likely not been solved, only
a tendential move into the right direction has been observed, and a
handful of numbers were picked out of a set of hugely variable results,
without showing the variability data. How much variance is there
run-to-run?
I'd really suggest to first walk the walk and see what's needed to get
stable & predictable kernel compilation numbers on that NUMA box, before
adding random syscalls to tune a particular aspect of the VM ... which
approach might not even matter once the whole picture has been analyzed
and understood!
The third, most important point is that the syscall exposes VM tuning
internals in a completely unstructured way. What sense does it make to
have a _GLOBAL_ per-node setting for 'should we go to another node for
reclaim'? If then it might make sense to do this per-app, via numalib or
so.
The change is minimalistic in that it doesnt remove the syscall and the
underlying infrastructure changes, only the user-visible changes. We
could perhaps add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only sysctl for this hack, a'ka
/proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but even that looks quite counterproductive
when the generic approach is that we are trying to reduce the number of
external factors in the VM balance picture.

emergency_restart. So don't export machine_restart,
machine_halt, and machine_power_off so we can catch buggy users.

XPC calls smp_processor_id() twice from xpc_setup_infrastructure() with
preemption enabled, which gets flagged if 'DEBUG_PREEMPT=y'. This patch
replaces the two calls to smp_processor_id() by a single call to
raw_smp_processor_id() since any CPU within the partition will do.

The Altix subarch does not provide node information via ACPI. Instead hooks
are used to fixup pci structures. This patch determines the nodes for Altix
PCI busses.
Remote Bridges:
---------------
Altix supports remote I/O nodes without memory or processors but with bridges.
The TIOCA type of bridge is an AGP bridge and the PROM provides information
about the closest node. That information will be returned by pcibus_to_node.
The TIOCP remote bridge type is a PCI bridge but the PROM does not provide a
closest node id. pcibus_to_node will return -1 for devices on those bridges
meaning that device control structures may be allocated on any node.
Safeguard:
----------
Should the fixups result in invalid node information for a pci controller then
a warning will be printed and pcibus_to_node will return -1.
This patch also fixes the "FIXME" in sn_dma_alloc_coherent. This means that
dma_alloc_coherent will now use alloc_pages_node to allocate memory local to
the node that the PCI device is connected to.

pcibus_to_node provides a way for the Linux kernel to identify to which
node a certain pcibus connects to. Allocations of control structures
for devices can then be made on the node where the pci bus is located
to allow local access during interrupt and other device manipulation.
This patch provides a new "node" field in the the pci_controller
structure. The node field will be set based on ACPI information (thanks
to Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@hp.com for that piece).

Create a new top-level menu named "Networking" thus moving
net related options and protocol selection way from the drivers
menu and up on the top-level where they belong.
To implement this all architectures has to source "net/Kconfig" before
drivers/*/Kconfig in their Kconfig file. This change has been
implemented for all architectures.
Device drivers for ordinary NIC's are still to be found
in the Device Drivers section, but Bluetooth, IrDA and ax25
are located with their corresponding menu entries under the new
networking menu item.

Current assign_irq_vector() will panic if interrupt vectors is running
out. But I think how to handle the case of lack of interrupt vectors
should be handled by the caller of this function. For example, some
PCI devices can raise the interrupt signal via both MSI and I/O
APIC. So even if the driver for these device fails to allocate a
vector for MSI, the driver still has a chance to use I/O APIC based
interrupt. But currently there is no chance for these driver to use
I/O APIC based interrupt because kernel will panic when
assign_irq_vector() fails to allocate interrupt vector.
The following patch changes assign_irq_vector() for ia64 to return
-ENOSPC on error instead of panic (as i386 and x86_64 versions do).

Jesse Barnes provided the original version of this patch months ago, but
other changes kept conflicting with it, so it got deferred. Greg Edwards
dug it out of obscurity just over a week ago, and almost immediately
another conflicting patch appeared (Bob Picco's memory-less nodes).
I've resolved the conflicts and got it running again. CONFIG_SGI_TIOCX
is set to "y" in defconfig, which causes a Tiger to not boot (oops in
tiocx_init). But that can be resolved later ... get this in now before it
gets stale again.

I reworked how nodes with only CPUs are treated. The patch below seems
simpler to me and has eliminated the complicated routine
reassign_cpu_only_nodes. There isn't any longer the requirement
to modify ACPI NUMA information which was in large part the
complexity introduced in reassign_cpu_only_nodes.
This patch will produce a different number of nodes. For example,
reassign_cpu_only_nodes would reduce two CPUonly nodes and one memory node
configuration to one memory+CPUs node configuration. This patch
doesn't change the number of nodes which means the user will see three. Two
nodes without memory and one node with all the memory.
While doing this patch, I noticed that early_nr_phys_cpus_node isn't serving
any useful purpose. It is called once in find_pernode_space but the value
isn't used to computer pernode space.
