Add a new section called ".data.read_mostly" for data items that are read
frequently and rarely written to like cpumaps etc.
If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read
items may end up in cachelines with data is is frequently updated. In that
case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines
again and again containing elements of those frequently used variables.
The ability to share these cachelines will allow each cpu in an SMP system
to keep local copies of those shared cachelines thereby optimizing
performance.

The patch fixes a few corner cases around tty line editing with
very long input lines:
- n_tty_receive_char(): don't simply drop eol characters,
otherwise canon_data isn't increased and the reader isn't woken
up.
- n_tty_receive_room(): If there is no newline pending and the
edit buffer is full, allow only a single character to be written
(until eol is found and the line is flushed), so characters from
the next line aren't dropped.
- write_chan(): if an incomplete line was written, continue
writing until write() returns 0, otherwise it might not write
the eol character to flush the line and the writer goes to sleep
without ever being woken up.
BTW the core problem is that part of this should be handled in the
receive_buf path, but for this it has to return the number of
written characters, as the amount of written characters may not be
the same as the amount of characters going into the write buffer,
so the receive_room() usage in pty_write() is not really reliable.
Alan said:
The problem looks valid. The behaviour of 'traditional unix' appears to
be the following
If you exceed the line limit then beep and drop the character
Always allow EOL to complete a canonical line input
Always do signal/control processing if enabled

Milton Miller has done a lot of work to clean up our hvc_console code.
One of the important things the following patch series does is separate the
VIO layer from the hvc_console code. With the VIO specific code removed any
ppc64 platform, or even any architecture, can use hvc_console as a generic
polling console. You simply have to supply a get_chars and put_chars method
and hvc_console does the rest of the work. You can even use it for an
interrupt driven console.
This patch:
Rearrange the code in drivers/char/hvc_console.c to make future patches
smaller. No actual code changes, just ordering of the functions in the file.

There is a slight disagreement between setup-bus.c code and traditional
x86 PCI setup wrt which recourses are invalid vs resources that are free
for further allocations.
In particular, in the setup-bus.c, if we failed to allocate some resource,
we nullify "start" and "flags" fields, but *not* the "end" one.
But x86 pcibios_enable_resources() does the following check:
if (!r->start && r->end) {
printk(KERN_ERR "PCI: Device %s not available because of resource collisions\n", pci_name(dev));
return -EINVAL;
which means that the device owning the offending resource cannot be
enabled.
In particular, this breaks cardbus behind the normal decode p2p bridge -
the cardbus code from setup-bus.c requests rather large IO and MEM
windows, and if it fails, the socket is completely unavailable. Which
is wrong, as the yenta code is capable to allocate smaller windows.

"ack_code" is assigned (and tested against) negative numbers, but was
declared as "char". Which only works if "char" is signed - which it
necessarily isn't.
So make that signedness assumption specific.
This adds the hotplug routine for generating hotplug events when devices
are seen on the macio bus. It uses the attributed created by the sysfs
nodes to generate the hotplug environment vars for userspace.
Since the characters allowed inside the 'compatible' field are NUL
terminated, they are exported as individual OF_COMPATIBLE_# variables,
with OF_COMPATIBLE_N maintaining a count of how many there are.
In order for hotplug to work with macio devices, patches to
