[IPCOMP]: Disable BH on output when using shared tfm
Because we use shared tfm objects in order to conserve memory,
(each tfm requires 128K of vmalloc memory), BH needs to be turned
off on output as that can occur in process context.
Previously this was done implicitly by the xfrm output code.
That was lost when it became lockless. So we need to add the
BH disabling to IPComp directly.

(The first two lines are printout loops from -git7 forward-ported
to -git8, the third line is the same printout loop added just after
the xor-with-cleared_cpu_caps[] loop.)
Here's how the breakage occurs:
1. arch/x86/kernel/tsc_32.c:tsc_init() sees !cpu_has_tsc,
so bails and calls setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_TSC).
2. include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h:setup_clear_cpu_cap(bit) clears
the bit in boot_cpu_data and sets it in cleared_cpu_caps
3. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:identify_cpu() XORs all caps
in with cleared_cpu_caps
HOWEVER, at this point c->x86_capability correctly has TSC
Off, cleared_cpu_caps has TSC On, so the XOR incorrectly
sets TSC to On in c->x86_capability, with disastrous results.
The real bug is that clearing bits with XOR only works if the
bits are known to be 1 prior to the XOR, and that's not true here.
A simple fix is to convert the XOR to AND-NOT instead. The following
patch does that, and allows my 486 to boot 2.6.25-rc kernels again.

based on a report from Arne Georg Gleditsch about user-space apps

fundamentally unsafe for a number of reasons:
1) the patching code runs without synchronizing other CPUs
2) it inserts NOPs even if there is no clock source which provides vread
3) when the clock source changes to one without vread we run in
exactly the same problem as in #2
4) if nobody toggles the proc entry from 1 to 0 and to 1 again, then
the syscall is not patched out
as a result it is possible to break user-space via this patching.
The only safe thing for now is to remove the patching.
This code was broken since v2.6.21.

x86: rename KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE => KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
The KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE constant was mis-named, as we not only map the kernel
text but data, bss and init sections as well.
That name led me on the wrong path with the KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE regression,
because i knew how big of _text_ my images have and i knew about the 40 MB
"text" limit so i wrongly thought to be on the safe side of the 40 MB limit
with my 29 MB of text, while the total image size was slightly above 40 MB.
40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/
So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is
the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-)
So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped.
(should anyone be that crazy or lazy)
We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these
mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather
pointless and arbitrary.

x86: handle BIOSes which terminate e820 with CF=1 and no SMAP
The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the
last legitimate memory block. However, several BIOSes don't do that
and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of
the list. For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the
SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code
in this case.
To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820
chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a
plain insane e820 implementation. However, we need to make the test
for CF = 1 before the SMAP check.
This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the
memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to
spec.

x86: don't use P6_NOPs if compiling with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC
P6_NOPs are definitely not supported on some VIA CPUs, and possibly
(unverified) on AMD K7s. It is also the only thing that prevents a
686 kernel from running on Transmeta TM3x00/5x00 (Crusoe) series.
The performance benefit over generic NOPs is very small, so when
building for generic consumption, avoid using them.

x86: do not promote TM3x00/TM5x00 to i686-class
We have been promoting Transmeta TM3x00/TM5x00 chips to i686-class
based on the notion that they contain all the user-space visible
features of an i686-class chip. However, this is not actually true:
they lack the EA-taking long NOPs (0F 1F /0). Since this is a
userspace-visible incompatibility, downgrade these CPUs to the
manufacturer-defined i586 level.

x86/early_ioremap: don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir
At the early stages of boot, before the kernel pagetable has been
fully initialized, a Xen kernel will still be running off the
Xen-provided pagetables rather than swapper_pg_dir[]. Therefore,
readback cr3 to determine the base of the pagetable rather than
assuming swapper_pg_dir[].
static inline pmd_t * __init early_ioremap_pmd(unsigned long addr)
{
- pgd_t *pgd = &swapper_pg_dir[pgd_index(addr)];
+ /* Don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir at this point */
+ pgd_t *base = __va(read_cr3());
+ pgd_t *pgd = &base[pgd_index(addr)];
pud_t *pud = pud_offset(pgd, addr);
pmd_t *pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
Trying to analyze the problem, it seems on the guest side of lguest,
%cr3 has a different value from &swapper_pg-dir (which
is AFAIK fine on a pravirt guest):
Putting some debugging messages in early_ioremap_pmd:

maple: fix device detection
The maple bus driver that went into the kernel mainline in September 2007
contained some bugs which were revealed by the update of the kobj code
for the current release series. Unfortunately those bugs also helped
ensure maple devices were properly detected. This patch (against the
current git) now ensures that devices are properly detected again.
(A previous attempt to fix this by delaying initialisation only partially
fixed this - as became apparent when the bus was fully loaded)

The function nes_create_cq() was missing the assignment

returning -EFAULT on a couple related error paths.
