The context switch code in the kernel issues a dummy stwcx. to clear the
reservation, as recommended by the architecture. However, some processors
can have issues if this stwcx to address A occurs while the reservation
is already held to a different address B. To avoid this problem, the dummy
stwcx. needs to be paired with a dummy lwarx to the same address.
This adds the dummy lwarx, and creates a cpu feature bit to indicate
which cpus are affected. Tested on mpc8641_hpcn_defconfig in
arch/powerpc; build tested in arch/ppc.

mmu_mapin_ram() loops over total_lowmem to setup page tables. However, if
total_lowmem is less that 16M, the subtraction rolls over and results in
a number just under 4G (because total_lowmem is an unsigned value).
This patch rejigs the loop from countup to countdown to eliminate the
bug.
Special thanks to Magnus Hjorth who wrote the original patch to fix this
bug. This patch improves on his by making the loop code simpler (which
also eliminates the possibility of another rollover at the high end)
and also applies the change to arch/powerpc.

The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually
tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with
it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't
report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches
in their distro...
This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by
setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously
marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon
return to user space when that happens.
This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained
flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very
strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires
a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which
isn't something I want to deal with.

On 4xx CPUs, the current implementation of flush_tlb_page() uses
a low level _tlbie() assembly function that only works for the
current PID. Thus, invalidations caused by, for example, a COW
fault triggered by get_user_pages() from a different context will
not work properly, causing among other things, gdb breakpoints
to fail.
This patch adds a "pid" argument to _tlbie() on 4xx processors,
and uses it to flush entries in the right context. FSL BookE
also gets the argument but it seems they don't need it (their
tlbivax form ignores the PID when invalidating according to the
document I have).

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().
A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
Changelog:
2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
and remove dependence on the task_pid().
2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
bug rather than force a kernel panic.

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
condition.
Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
that something has gone wrong.
This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
than just the one thread.

The 440 family of processors don't have a tlbie instruction. So, we
implement TLB invalidates by explicitly searching the TLB with tlbsx.,
then clobbering the relevant entry, if any. Unfortunately the PID for
the search needs to be stored in the MMUCR register, which is also
used by the TLB miss handler. Interrupts were enabled in _tlbie(), so
an interrupt between loading the MMUCR and the tlbsx could cause
incorrect search results, and thus a failure to invalide TLB entries
which needed to be invalidated.
This fixes the problem in both arch/ppc and arch/powerpc by inhibiting
interrupts (even critical and debug interrupts) across the relevant
instructions.

Manual fixup of trivial conflict in MAINTAINERS file
per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.
