There's a couple of nasty bugs lurking in our huge page hashing code.
First, we don't check the access permission atomically with setting
the _PAGE_BUSY bit, which means that the PTE value we end up using
for the hashing might be different than the one we have checked
the access permissions for.
We've seen cases where that leads us to try to use an invalidated
PTE for hashing, causing all sort of "interesting" issues.
Then, we also failed to set _PAGE_DIRTY on a write access.
Finally, a minor tweak but we should return 0 when we find the
PTE busy, in order to just re-execute the access, rather than 1
which means going to do_page_fault().

---
Instead of adding _PAGE_PRESENT to the access permission mask
in each low level routine independently, we add it once from
hash_page().
We also move the preliminary access check (the racy one before
the PTE is locked) up so it applies to the huge page case. This
duplicates code in __hash_page_huge() which we'll remove in a
subsequent patch to fix a race in there.

If the hypervisor gives us an error on a hugepage insert we panic. The
normal page code already handles this by returning an error instead and we end
calling low_hash_fault which will just kill the task if possible.
The patch below does a similar thing for the hugepage case.

When booting a relocatable kernel it needs to jump to the correct
start address, which for BookE parts is usually unchanged
regardless of the physical memory offset.
Recent changes cause problems with how we calculate the start
address, it was always adding the RMO into the start address
which is incorrect. This patch only adds in the RMO offset
if we are in the kexec code path, as it needs the RMO to work
correctly.
Instead of adding the RMO offset in in the common code path, we
can just set r6 to the RMO offset in the kexec code path instead
of to zero, and finally perform the masking in the common code
path

When power_pmu_disable() removes the given event from a particular index into
cpuhw->event[], it shuffles down higher event[] entries. But, this array is
paired with cpuhw->events[] and cpuhw->flags[] so should shuffle them
similarly.
If these arrays get out of sync, code such as power_check_constraints() will
fail. This caused a bug where events were temporarily disabled and then failed
to be re-enabled; subsequent code tried to write_pmc() with its (disabled) idx
of 0, causing a message "oops trying to write PMC0". This triggers this bug on

When trying to flash a machine via the update_flash command, Anton received the
following error:
Restarting system.
FLASH: kernel bug...flash list header addr above 4GB
The code in question has a comment that the flash list should be in
the kernel data and therefore under 4GB:
/* NOTE: the "first" block list is a global var with no data
* blocks in the kernel data segment. We do this because
* we want to ensure this block_list addr is under 4GB.
*/
Unfortunately the Kconfig option is marked tristate which means the variable
may not be in the kernel data and could be above 4GB.
Instead of relying on the data segment being below 4GB, use the static
data buffer allocated by the kernel for use by rtas. Since we don't
use the header struct directly anymore, convert it to a simple pointer.

We are seeing boot fails on some System p machines when using the kdump
crashkernel= boot option. The default kdump base address is 32MB, so if we
reserve 256MB for kdump then we reserve all of the RMO except the first 32MB.
We really want kdump to reserve some memory in the RMO and most of it
elsewhere but that will require more significant changes. For now we can shift
the default base address to 64MB when CONFIG_PPC64 and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE are
set. This isn't quite correct since what we really care about is the kdump
kernel is relocatable, but we already make the assumption that base kernel
and kdump kernel have the same CONFIG_RELOCATABLE setting, eg:
#ifndef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
if (crashk_res.start != KDUMP_KERNELBASE)
printk("Crash kernel location must be 0x%x\n",
KDUMP_KERNELBASE);
...
RTAS is instantiated towards the top of our RMO, so if we were to go any
higher we risk not having enough RMO memory for the kdump kernel on boxes
with a 128MB RMO.

Yannick found that video does not work with 2.6.34. The cause of this

the size of the bridge window, but since

the kernel will avoid shrinking BIOS ranges.
