c45a6816c1 virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.

There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
didn't notice when it was violated.

So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
core.  The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.

Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.

Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
really have to.

API changes:
- dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
- drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
- use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

72e61eb40b virtio: change config to guest endian.
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big
endian machines.

The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian,
because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space
for virtio_pci.  It's actually a separate mmio region, so that
argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio
mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the
impending s390 merge).

API changes:
- __virtio_config_val() just becomes a striaght vdev->config_get() call.

5539ae9613 virtio: finer-grained features for virtio_net
So, we previously had a 'VIRTIO_NET_F_GSO' bit which meant that 'the
host can handle csum offload, and any TSO (v4&v6 incl ECN) or UFO
packets you might want to send.  I thought this was good enough for
Linux, but it actually isn't, since we don't do UFO in software.

So, add separate feature bits for what the host can handle.  Add
equivalent ones for the guest to say what it can handle, because LRO
is coming too (thanks Herbert!).

8147313287 virtio: export more headers to userspace
Rusty,

is there a reason why we dont export the virtio headers for
9p, balloon, console, pci, and virtio_ring? kvm uses make sync,
but I think it is still useful to heave these headers exported
as they might be useful for other userspace tools.

I dont export virtio.h, because it does not seem to have useful
information for userspace and it requires scatterlist.h which is
also not exported. See also my other mail about your "virtio:
change config to guest endian." patch.

1adb0850a1 genirq: reenable a nobody cared disabled irq when a new driver arrives
Uwe Kleine-Koenig has some strange hardware where one of the shared
interrupts can be asserted during boot before the appropriate driver
loads. Requesting the shared irq line from another driver result in a
spurious interrupt storm which finally disables the interrupt line.

I have seen similar behaviour on resume before (the hardware does not
work anymore so I can not verify).

Change the spurious disable logic to increment the disable depth and
mark the interrupt with an extra flag which allows us to reenable the
interrupt when a new driver arrives which requests the same irq
line. In the worst case this will disable the irq again via the
spurious trap, but there is a decent chance that the new driver is the
one which can handle the already asserted interrupt and makes the box
usable again.

Eric Biederman said further: This case also happens on a regular basis
in kdump kernels where we deliberately don't shutdown the hardware
before starting the new kernel.  This patch should reduce the need for
using irqpoll in that situation by a small amount.

3b5750644b [POWERPC] Bolt in SLB entry for kernel stack on secondary cpus
This fixes a regression reported by Kamalesh Bulabel where a POWER4
machine would crash because of an SLB miss at a point where the SLB
miss exception was unrecoverable.  This regression is tracked at:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10082

SLB misses at such points shouldn't happen because the kernel stack is
the only memory accessed other than things in the first segment of the
linear mapping (which is mapped at all times by entry 0 of the SLB).
The context switch code ensures that SLB entry 2 covers the kernel
stack, if it is not already covered by entry 0.  None of entries 0
to 2 are ever replaced by the SLB miss handler.

Where this went wrong is that the context switch code assumes it
doesn't have to write to SLB entry 2 if the new kernel stack is in the
same segment as the old kernel stack, since entry 2 should already be
correct.  However, when we start up a secondary cpu, it calls
slb_initialize, which doesn't set up entry 2.  This is correct for
the boot cpu, where we will be using a stack in the kernel BSS at this
point (i.e. init_thread_union), but not necessarily for secondary
cpus, whose initial stack can be allocated anywhere.  This doesn't
cause any immediate problem since the SLB miss handler will just
create an SLB entry somewhere else to cover the initial stack.

In fact it's possible for the cpu to go quite a long time without SLB
entry 2 being valid.  Eventually, though, the entry created by the SLB
miss handler will get overwritten by some other entry, and if the next
access to the stack is at an unrecoverable point, we get the crash.

This fixes the problem by making slb_initialize create a suitable
entry for the kernel stack, if we are on a secondary cpu and the stack
isn't covered by SLB entry 0.  This requires initializing the
get_paca()->kstack field earlier, so I do that in smp_create_idle
where the current field is initialized.  This also abstracts a bit of
the computation that mk_esid_data in slb.c does so that it can be used
in slb_initialize.

fbe543b412 Fix a potential issue in mpc52xx uart driver
mpc52xx_uart_int and __uart_put_char both try to acquire the
port->lock. Therefore the function sequence of:

mpc52xx_uart_int--> ...-->flush_to_ldisc-->...-->__uart_put_char

can potentially trigger a deadlock. To avoid this deadlock a fix
similar to that found in the 8250.c serial driver is applied. The
deadlock is avoided by releasing the lock before pushing a buffer
and reacquiring it when completed.
