Back in 2006 the "udbg-immortal" kernel option has been introduced:

...but I could not find it documented anywhere in the sources.
This patch adds it to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.

On many platforms (including pSeries), smp_ops->message_pass is always
smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass.  This changes arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c so
that if smp_ops->message_pass is NULL, it calls smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass
directly.

This means that a platform doesn't need to set both .message_pass and
.cause_ipi, only one of them.  It is a slight performance improvement
in that it gets rid of an indirect function call at the expense of a
predictable conditional branch.

smp_release_cpus() waits for all cpus (including the bootcpu) due to an
off-by-one count on boot_cpu_count (which is all CPUs).  This patch replaces
that with spinning_secondaries (which is all secondary CPUs).

Before if we didn't support or enable HW table walk we'd get a messaage
like:

MMU: Book3E Page Tables Disabled

Which is a bit misleading.  Now it will say:

* 'pm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/suspend-2.6:
  PM / Runtime: Fix loops in pm_runtime_clk_notify()
  PM / Intel IOMMU: Fix init_iommu_pm_ops() for CONFIG_PM unset

This tries to make the 'struct inode' accesses denser in the data cache
by moving a commonly accessed field (i_security) closer to other fields
that are accessed often.

It also makes 'i_state' just an 'unsigned int' rather than 'unsigned
long', since we only use a few bits of that field, and moves it next to
the existing 'i_flags' so that we potentially get better structure
layout (although depending on config options, i_flags may already have
packed in the same word as i_lock, so this improves packing only for the
case of spinlock debugging)

Out 'struct inode' is still way too big, and we should probably move
some other fields around too (the acl fields in particular) for better
data cache access density.  Other fields (like the inode hash) are
likely to be entirely irrelevant under most loads.

This is a rather hot function that is called with a potentially NULL
"struct common_audit_data" pointer argument.  And in that case it has to
provide and initialize its own dummy common_audit_data structure.

However, all the _common_ cases already pass it a real audit-data
structure, so that uncommon NULL case not only creates a silly run-time
test, more importantly it causes that function to have a big stack frame
for the dummy variable that isn't even used in the common case!

So get rid of that stupid run-time behavior, and make the (few)
functions that currently call with a NULL pointer just call a new helper
function instead (naturally called inode_has_perm_noapd(), since it has
no adp argument).

This makes the run-time test be a static code generation issue instead,
and allows for a much denser stack since none of the common callers need
the dummy structure.  And a denser stack not only means less stack space
usage, it means better cache behavior.  So we have a win-win-win from
this simplification: less code executed, smaller stack footprint, and
better cache behavior.

The flush_to_ldisc() work entry has special logic to notice when it has
seen the original tail of the data queue, and it avoids continuing the
flush if it sees that _original_ tail rather than the current tail.

This logic can trigger in case somebody is constantly adding new data to
the tty while the flushing is active - and the intent is to avoid
excessive CPU usage while flushing the tty, especially as we used to do
this from a softirq context which made it non-preemptible.

However, since we no longer re-arm the work-queue from within itself
(because that causes other trouble: see commit a5660b41 "tty: fix
endless work loop when the buffer fills up"), this just leads to
possible hung tty's (most easily seen in SMP and with a test-program
that floods a pty with data - nobody seems to have reported this for any
real-life situation yet).

And since the workqueue isn't done from timers and softirq's any more,
it's doubtful whether the CPU useage issue is really relevant any more.
So just remove the logic entirely, and see if anybody ever notices.

Alternatively, we might want to re-introduce the "re-arm the work" for
just this case, but then we'd have to re-introduce the delayed work
model or some explicit timer, which really doesn't seem worth it for
this.

The current RE'd code causes blank screens and
display problems on a lot of systems.  So disable
it by default for now.  It can still be enabled

On my x86_64 system with >4GB of ram and swiotlb instead of
a hardware iommu (because I have a VIA chipset), the call
to pci_set_dma_mask (see below) with 40bits returns an error.

But it seems that the radeon driver is designed to have
need_dma32 = true exactly if pci_set_dma_mask is called
with 32 bits and false if it is called with 40 bits.

I have read somewhere that the default are 32 bits. So if the
call fails I suppose that need_dma32 should be set to true.

And indeed the patch fixes the problem I have had before
and which I had described here:

die_if_no_fixup() shouldn't use get_user() as it doesn't call set_fs() to
indicate that it wants to probe a kernel address.  Instead it should use
probe_kernel_read().

This fixes the problem of gdb seeing SIGILL rather than SIGTRAP when hitting
the KGDB special breakpoint upon SysRq+g being seen.  The problem was that
die_if_no_fixup() was failing to read the opcode of the instruction that caused
the exception, and thus not fixing up the exception.

This caused gdb to get a S04 response to the $? request in its remote protocol
rather than S05 - which would then cause it to continue with $C04 rather than
$c in an attempt to pass the signal onto the inferior process.  The kernel,
however, does not support $Cnn, and so objects by returning an E22 response,
indicating an error.  gdb does not expect this and prints:

	warning: Remote failure reply: E22

and then returns to the gdb command prompt unable to continue.
