6f284a2ce7 [MIPS] FLATMEM: introduce PHYS_OFFSET.
The old code was assuming that min_low_pfn was always 0. This
means that platforms having a big hole at their memory start
paid the price of wasting some memory for the allocation of
unused entries in mem_map[].

This patch prevents this waste.

It introduces PHYS_OFFSET define which is the start of the
physical memory and uses it wherever needed. Specially when
converting physical/virtual addresses into virtual/physical
ones.

Currently all platforms defines PHYS_OFFSET to 0.

97dcb82de6 [MIPS] Define MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE in generic header
The irq_base for {mips,rm7k,rm9k}_cpu_irq_init() are constant on all
platforms and are same value on most platforms (0 or 16, depends on
CONFIG_I8259).  Define them in asm-mips/mach-generic/irq.h and make
them customizable.  This will save a few cycle on each CPU interrupt.

A good side effect is removing some dependencies to MALTA in generic
SMTC code.

Although MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE is customizable, this patch changes irq
mappings on DDB5477, EMMA2RH and MIPS_SIM, since really customizing
them might cause some header dependency problem and there seems no
good reason to customize it.  So currently only VR41XX is using custom
MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE value, which is 0 regardless of CONFIG_I8259.

Testing this patch on those platforms is greatly appreciated.  Thank
you.

139b830477 [IA64] register memory ranges in a consistent manner
While pursuing and unrelated issue with 64Mb granules I noticed a problem
related to inconsistent use of add_active_range.  There doesn't appear any
reason to me why FLATMEM versus DISCONTIG_MEM should register memory to
add_active_range with different code.  So I've changed the code into a
common implementation.

The other subtle issue fixed by this patch was calling add_active_range in
count_node_pages before granule aligning is performed.  We were lucky with
16MB granules but not so with 64MB granules.  count_node_pages has reserved
regions filtered out and as a consequence linked kernel text and data
aren't covered by calls to count_node_pages.  So linked kernel regions
wasn't reported to add_active_regions.  This resulted in free_initmem
causing numerous bad_page reports.  This won't occur with this patch
because now all known memory regions are reported by
register_active_ranges.

451fe00cf7 [IA64] Clear IRQ affinity when unregistered
When we offline a CPU, migrate_irqs() tries to determine whether the
affinity bits of the IRQ descriptor match any of the remaining online
CPUs.  If not, it fixes up the interrupt to point somewhere else.
Unfortunately, if an IRQ is unregistered the IRQ descriptor may still
have affinity to the CPU being offlined, but the no_irq_chip handler
doesn't provide a set_affinity function.  This causes us to hit the
WARN_ON in migrate_irqs().

The easiest solution seems to be setting all the bits in the affinity
mask when the last interrupt is removed from the vector.  I hit this on
an older kernel with Xen/ia64 using driver domains (so it probably needs
more testing on upstream).  Xen essentially uses the bind/unbind
interface in sysfs to unregister a device from a driver and thus
unregister the interrupt.

http://www.gelato.org/community/view_linear.php?id=1_1036&from=authors&value=Ian%20Wienand#1_1039,
if single step on break instruction, the break fault has higher
priority than the single-step trap. When the break fault handler
is entered, it advances the IP by 1 instruction so break instruction
single-stepping is skipped, actually it is next instruction which
is single stepped.

This patch modifies this, it adds TIF_SINGLESTEP bit for thread
flags, and generate a fake sigtrap when single stepping break
instruction. Test case in attachment can verify this. Any comments

1b27829489 [S390] Support for s390 Pseudo Random Number Generator
Starting with the z9 the CPU Cryptographic Assist Facility comes with
an integrated Pseudo Random Number Generator. The generator creates
random numbers by an algorithm similar to the ANSI X9.17 standard.
The pseudo-random numbers can be accessed via a character device driver
node called /dev/prandom. Similar to /dev/urandom any amount of bytes
can be read from the device without blocking.
