Many boards have a bug-free ns16550 compatible serial port, which we should register as PORT_16550A. This introduces a new value "ns16550a" for the compatible property of of_serial to let a firmware choose that model instead of using the crippled PORT_16550 mode.

Commit a4fe3ce7 introduced a new get_user_pages() path for hugepages on powerpc. Unfortunately, there is a bug in it's loop logic, which can cause it to overrun the end of the intended region. This came about by copying the logic from the normal page path, which assumes the address and end parameters have been pagesize aligned at the top-level. Since they're not *hugepage* size aligned, the simplistic logic could step over the end of the gup region without triggering the loop end condition. This patch fixes the bug by using the technique that the normal page path uses in levels above the lowest to truncate the ending address to something we know we'll match with.

Commit a0668cdc cleans up the handling of kmem_caches for allocating various levels of pagetables. Unfortunately, it conflicts badly with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT, due to the latter's cleverly hidden technique of adding some extra allocation space to the top level page directory to store the extra information it needs. Since that extra allocation really doesn't fit into the cleaned up page directory allocating scheme, this patch alters CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT to instead allocate its struct subpage_prot_table as part of the mm_context_t.

Commit 87ec0e98 in kumar's next branch broke one of my test configs since it looks like Anton forgot about that mpc832x_rdb platform which still uses the old style probing for the SPI stuff. I'll let them do a cleaner fix that probably involves changing the probing method and getting rid of the platform device but for now this will do to fix it.

Code was added to mm/higmem.c that depends on several kmap types that powerpc does not support. We add dummy invalid definitions for KM_NMI, KM_NM_PTE, and KM_IRQ_PTE. According to list discussion, this fix should not be needed anymore starting with 2.6.33. The code is commented to this effect so hopefully we will remember to remove this.

The code under "if (is_global_init())" is bogus, and is_global_init() itself is not right in mt case. Contrary to what the comment says, nowadays force_sig_info() does kill init even if the handler is SIG_DFL. Note that force_sig_info() clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE exactly for this case.

When a CPU is offlined on POWER currently, we call rtas_stop_self() and hand the CPU back to the resource pool. This path is used for DLPAR which will cause a change in the LPAR configuration which will be visible outside. This patch changes the default state a CPU is put into when it is offlined. On platforms which support ceding the processor to the hypervisor with latency hint specifier value, during a cpu offline operation, instead of calling rtas_stop_self(), we cede the vCPU to the hypervisor while passing a latency hint specifier value. The Hypervisor can use this hint to provide better energy savings. Also, during the offline operation, the control of the vCPU remains with the LPAR as oppposed to returning it to the resource pool. The patch achieves this by creating an infrastructure to set the preferred_offline_state() which can be either - CPU_STATE_OFFLINE: which is the current behaviour of calling rtas_stop_self() - CPU_STATE_INACTIVE: which cedes the vCPU to the hypervisor with the latency hint specifier. The codepath which wants to perform a DLPAR operation can set the preferred_offline_state() of a CPU to CPU_STATE_OFFLINE before invoking cpu_down(). The patch also provides a boot-time command line argument to disable/enable CPU_STATE_INACTIVE.

Drop the bkl from nvram_llseek() as it obviously protects nothing. The file offset is safe in essence. The ioctl can be converted to unlocked_ioctl because it just calls pmac_get_partition() which reads a value from an array which was initialized at early boot time. No need for serialization.

The ioctl is only used for powermac systems and reads a partition number from an array which is initialized at boot time way before the nvram code is initialized. So it's safe to switch to unlocked_ioctl.

Commit 86cf898e ("intel-iommu: Check for 'DMAR at zero' BIOS error earlier.") was supposed to work by pretending not to detect an IOMMU if it was actually being reported by the BIOS at physical address zero. However, the intel_iommu_init() function is called unconditionally, as are the corresponding functions for other IOMMU hardware. So the patch only worked if you have RAM above the 4GiB boundary. It caused swiotlb to be initialised when no IOMMU was detected during early boot, and thus the later IOMMU init would refuse to run. But if you have less RAM than that, swiotlb wouldn't get set up and the IOMMU _would_ still end up being initialised, even though we never claimed to detect it. This patch also sets the dmar_disabled flag when the error is detected during the initial detection phase -- so that the later call to intel_iommu_init() will return without doing anything, regardless of whether swiotlb is used or not.

Doing the strcmp return value as signed char __res = *cs - *ct; is wrong for two reasons. The subtraction can overflow because __res doesn't use a type big enough. Moreover the compared bytes should be interpreted as unsigned char as specified by POSIX. The same problem is fixed in strncmp.
