As we've discussed in another thread, below is a diff that will do a set_par()
as late as possible when there is KD_TEXT<->KD_GRAPHICS switch.  The set_par()
will be forced in fbcon_resize() instead.

Not sure if this has repercussions with the other drivers, but this patch
fixed the X nv driver hanging when switching to the console.  (I believe the
crash is actually caused by an early set_par() -- while in fbcon_blank. 
Removing the set_par in fbcon_blank fixed the hang but caused cursor sprite
and display corruption).

Now the cause of sparse warnings is that it does not handle runtime array
dimensioning (which I take it is a sparse problem), but in this particular
case it _might_ make sense to change the runtime allocation to compile
time, as the upper size of the array is known, because the code in
kernel/kallsyms.c clearly uses 127 (or 128) as "magic constant" for kernel
symbol (array) length, and in the other hand in include/linux/module.h
there is: #define MODULE_NAME_LEN (64 - sizeof(unsigned long))

The only concern is that the array become quite big (the original comment
of it being "pretty small" no longer applies ...).  One way to help that
would be to use buffer[] also in place of namebuf[], but that would be
little tricky as the format string should be before the symbol name ...

As required by the standard, this patch adds to POSIX ABSOLUTE timers the
functionality of adjusting the timer when the clock is set so that it still
expires at the specified time (provided that time has not passed, in which
case the timer expires immeadiatly).

The standard is, IMNSOHO, a bit vague on just how repeating timers are to
be handled so I made some choices:

1) If an absolute timer is to expire every N intervals, we assume that
   the expiries should happen at those specified times after clock setting.
    I.e.  we adjust the repeat timer as well as the initial timer.  (The
   other option would be to treat the repeating timers as relative and not
   to adjust them.)

2) If a clock set moves the the clock prior to the initial expiry time
   AND that time has already passed and been signaled, the current repeat
   timer is adjusted, i.e.  we DO NOT go back to the initial time and
   repeat that.  (The other option is to treat this case as a new request
   with the initial timer parameters (which by this time we have lost).)

3) If time is advanced such that it appears that several expiries have
   been missed, the overrun count will reflect the misses.  (The other
   option is to not reflect this in the overrun.) At the same time, nothing
   is done to acknowledge, to the user, that we are repeating expiries when
   the clock is retarded.

This patch from Linas Vepstas (rediffed by me) fixes the confusing argument
aliasing of the log_rtas_error() subroutine.

This patch makes no functional changes, it just cleans up some strange
usage.

The rtas_args used to communicate with firmware are always taken from the
paca struct, so as to keep the args at a fixed, low-memory location.  But
the log_rtas_error() routine also took an rtas_args pointer, which it
assumed was aliased to the paca struct.  This aliasing is both
un-neccessary, and confusing; this patch eliminates this confusion.

Cleanup the PPC64 PACA structure.  It was previously a big mess of
unecessary fields, overengineered cache layout and uninformative comments. 
This is essentially a rewrite of include/asm-pp64/paca.h with associated
changes elsewhere.  The patch:

- Removes unused PACA fields

- Removes uneeded #includes

- Uses gcc attributes instead of explicit padding to get the desired
  cacheline layout, also rethinks the layout and comments accordingly.

- Better comments where asm or firmware dependencies apply non-obvious
  layout constraints.

- Splits up the pointless STAB structure, letting us move its elements
  independently.

- Uses offsetof instead of hardcoded offset in spinlocks.

- Eradicates xStudlyCaps identifiers

- Replaces PACA guard page with an explicitly defined emergency stack
  (removing more than NR_CPUS pages from the initialized data segment).

This patch removes the RTAS arguments structure on ppc64 from the PACA. 
The args have to be in the RMO, but since we have a global spinlock for
RTAS anyway, there's no reason to have a separate copy of the args per-CPU.
 This patch replaces the PACA field with a single instance in the global
rtas structure.

The one exception is for the rtas_stop_self() call, which can't take the
lock, because it never returns.  But it has a fixed set of arguments, so we
can use another global instance which is initialized at boot.

This lets us remove rtas.h from paca.h, which substantially reduces overall
#include hairiness (because paca.h is now, as it wants to be, a nice
low-level structure-defining header which relies on very little and can
safely be included almost anywhere).  Although it does add some noise to
the patch, because a bunch of places relied on the indirect inclusion of
rtas.h, or even more indirect inclusions (see the hunks applying to eeh.h
and current.h!).

'strace' shows a problem with a missing release_task for self-reaping
clones that have been traced.  We need to defer releasing them until the
tracer is done with them, but if the tracer dies, we need to handle that
case gracefully too. 

We do that by having 'forget_original_parent()' generate a list of tasks
to release when this case happens.

This fixes a corner-case NX bug: the x86 SMP kernel doesnt boot on SMP
Opterons if NX is enabled [and mem=nopentium is specified], due to
kernel-space NX protection preventing the SMP trampoline from being
executable. 

Since the SMP trampoline is a rare case of 'dynamic code' executed by
the kernel (it has to be below 640K so it cannot be part of the kernel
text itself), i've added the necessary infrastructure to enable/disable
executability of specific kernel pages. 

We cannot simply disable NX via the MSR because we've got the NX bits in
the kernel pagetables, which are set up before we do the SMP bootup. 
The NX bit in the pagetables is undefined if EFER.NXE is 0, so we cannot
count on NX-capable CPUs not faulting when they encounter them. 

I've tested the x86 kernel on a non-NX SMP x86 box and on an NX UP box,
on which i've also tested a simulated SMP trampoline, it all works fine. 

- add infrastructure to enable/disable executability of kernel pages

- make the SMP trampoline page executable.

This is a rather old patch which re-orders the teardown of PCMCIA
network devices.  Current device drivers remove the IO mappings,
interrupts, and free any PCMCIA windows before they unregister
themselves from the network layer.

This patch ensures that we first unregister from the network layer
before performing any teardown of resources or windows.

Note: the only card which has been tested in this patch is pcnet_cs.

Several network drivers have checks that they are only built with -O.
This breaks checking with sparse and other tools, and seems like a holdover from
when drivers were built out of tree and the kernel build system was less stable.
This patch gets rid of these.
