commit 8475d8fe21ec9c7eb2faca555fbc5b68cf0d2597 upstream.

The KERNEL_INITIAL_ORDER value defines the initial size (usually 32 or
64 MB) of the page table during bootup. Up until now the whole area was
initialized with PTE entries, but there was no check if we filled too
many entries.  Change the code to fill up with so many entries that the
"_end" symbol can be reached by the kernel, but not more entries than
actually fit into the initial PTE tables.

commit a406b8b424fa01f244c1aab02ba186258448c36b upstream.

Bail out early with error message when trying to boot a 64-bit kernel on
32-bit machines. This fixes the previous commit to include the check for
true 64-bit kernels as well.

[ Upstream commit 591d2108f3abc4db9f9073cae37cf3591fd250d6 ]

If a 32-bit kernel was compiled for PA2.0 CPUs, it won't be able to run
on machines with PA1.x CPUs. Add a check and bail out early if a PA1.x
machine is detected.

The replacement of &lt;asm/pgrable.h&gt; with &lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; made the include
of the latter in the middle of asm includes.  Fix this up with the aid of
the below script and manual adjustments here and there.

	import sys
	import re

	if len(sys.argv) is not 3:
	    print "USAGE: %s &lt;file&gt; &lt;header&gt;" % (sys.argv[0])

	moved = False
	in_hdrs = False

	with open(sys.argv[1], "r") as f:

The include/linux/pgtable.h is going to be the home of generic page table
manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.

LEVEL is a very common word, and now after many years it suddenly
clashed with another LEVEL define in the DRBD code.
Rename it to PA_ASM_LEVEL instead.

The idle task might have been allocated above 4GB. With the current code
we cannot access that memory because the CPU is still running in narrow
mode.
This was found on a J5000 machine and the patch is required to enable
SPARSEMEM on that machine.

The idle task might have been allocated above 4GB. With the current code
we cannot access that memory because the CPU is still running in narrow
mode.
This was found on a J5000 machine and the patch is required to enable
SPARSEMEM on that machine.

The architecture specification says (for 64-bit systems): PDC is a per
processor resource, and operating system software must be prepared to
manage separate pointers to PDCE_PROC for each processor.  The address
of PDCE_PROC for the monarch processor is stored in the Page Zero
location MEM_PDC. The address of PDCE_PROC for each non-monarch
processor is passed in gr26 when PDCE_RESET invokes OS_RENDEZ.

Currently we still use one PDC for all CPUs, but in case we face a
machine which is following the specification let's warn about it.

Fix the FTRACE function tracer for 32- and 64-bit kernel.
The former code was horribly broken.

Reimplement most coding in assembly and utilize optimizations, e.g. put
mcount() and ftrace_stub() into one L1 cacheline.
