Adrian Bunk reported that enabling 4MB page size breaks the build.
The problem is that MAX_ORDER combined with the page shift exceeds the
SECTION_SIZE_BITS we use in asm-sparc64/sparsemem.h
There are several ways I suppose we could work around this. For one
we could define a CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER to decrease MAX_ORDER in
these higher page size cases.
But I also know that these page size cases are broken wrt. TLB miss
handling especially on pre-hypervisor systems, and there isn't an easy
way to fix that.
These options were meant to be fun experimental hacks anyways, and
only 8K and 64K make any sense to support.
So remove 512K and 4M base page size support. Of course, we still
support these page sizes for huge pages.

Now that ftrace is being ported to other architectures, it has become
apparent that DYNAMIC_FTRACE is dependent on whether or not that
architecture implements dynamic ftrace. FTRACE itself may be ported to
an architecture without porting dynamic ftrace.
This patch adds HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE to allow architectures to port ftrace
without having to also port the dynamic aspect as well.

On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like

really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.
It would be much better to do
depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
have a
bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
default y
in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...

Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see

The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.
Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.
Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).

Only adding cpus is supports at the moment, removal
will come next.
When new cpus are configured, the machine description is
updated. When we get the configure request we pass in a
cpu mask of to-be-added cpus to the mdesc CPU node parser
so it only fetches information for those cpus. That code
also proceeds to update the SMT/multi-core scheduling bitmaps.
cpu_up() does all the work and we return the status back
over the DS channel.
CPUs via dr-cpu need to be booted straight out of the
hypervisor, and this requires:
1) A new trampoline mechanism. CPUs are booted straight
out of the hypervisor with MMU disabled and running in
physical addresses with no mappings installed in the TLB.
The new hvtramp.S code sets up the critical cpu state,
installs the locked TLB mappings for the kernel, and
turns the MMU on. It then proceeds to follow the logic
of the existing trampoline.S SMP cpu bringup code.
2) All calls into OBP have to be disallowed when domaining
is enabled. Since cpus boot straight into the kernel from
the hypervisor, OBP has no state about that cpu and therefore
cannot handle being invoked on that cpu.
Luckily it's only a handful of interfaces which can be called
after the OBP device tree is obtained. For example, rebooting,
halting, powering-off, and setting options node variables.
CPU removal support will require some infrastructure changes
here. Namely we'll have to process the requests via a true
kernel thread instead of in a workqueue. workqueues run on
a per-cpu thread, but when unconfiguring we might need to
force the thread to execute on another cpu if the current cpu
is the one being removed. Removal of a cpu also causes the kernel
to destroy that cpu's workqueue running thread.
Another issue on removal is that we may have interrupts still
pointing to the cpu-to-be-removed. So new code will be needed
to walk the active INO list and retarget those cpus as-needed.

Virtual devices on Sun Logical Domains are built on top
of a virtual channel framework. This, with help of hypervisor
interfaces, provides a link layer protocol with basic
handshaking over which virtual device clients and servers
communicate.
Built on top of this is a VIO device protocol which has it's
own handshaking and message types. At this layer attributes
are exchanged (disk size, network device addresses, etc.)
descriptor rings are registered, and data transfers are
triggers and replied to.

Cheetah systems can have cpuids as large as 1023, although physical
systems don't have that many cpus.
Only three limitations existed in the kernel preventing arbitrary
NR_CPUS values:
1) dcache dirty cpu state stored in page->flags on
D-cache aliasing platforms. With some build time
calculations and some build-time BUG checks on
page->flags layout, this one was easily solved.
2) The cheetah XCALL delivery code could only handle
a cpumask with up to 32 cpus set. Some simple looping
logic clears that up too.
3) thread_info->cpu was a u8, easily changed to a u16.
There are a few spots in the kernel that still put NR_CPUS
sized arrays on the kernel stack, but that's not a sparc64
specific problem.
