I recently discovered a bug on PPC which causes the floating point
registers to get corrupted when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

The problem occurred while running a multi threaded Java application that
does floating point.  The problem could be reproduced in anywhere from 2 to
6 hours.  With the patch I have included below it ran for over a week
without failure.

any support from low-level code, it is possible to reboot or halt at the

set_page_dirty() will not cope with being handed a page * which is part of
a compound page, but not the master page in that compound page.  This case
can occur via access_process_vm() if you attemp to write to another
process's hugepage memory area using ptrace() (causing an oops or hang).

This patch fixes the bug by only calling set_page_dirty() from
access_process_vm() if the page is not a compound page.  We already use a
similar fix in bio_set_pages_dirty() for the case of direct io to
hugepages.

The uid_t and gid_t fields appear to present a 32/64-bit userspace/kernel
problem for some archs.

This patch addresses the problem by fixing the size to the largest size for
uid_t/gid_t used in the kernel.  This preserves the total size of the event
structure while ensuring that the layouts of the ID change event match in
32 and 64-bit kernels and applications.

  The tcp_ehash hash table gets too big on systems with really big memory.
It is worse on systems with pages larger than 4KB.  It wastes memory that
could be better used.  It also makes the netstat command slow because reading
/proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6 needs to go through the full hash table.

  The default value should not be larger for larger page sizes.  It seems
that the effect of page size is an unintended error dating back a long
time.  I also wonder if the default value really should be a larger
fraction of memory for systems with more memory.  While systems with
really big ram can afford more space for hash tables, it is not clear to
me that they benefit from increasing the allocation ratio for this table.

  The amount of memory allocated is determined by net/ipv4/tcp.c:tcp_init and
mm/page_alloc.c:alloc_large_system_hash.

tcp_init calls alloc_large_system_hash passing parameters-
    bucketsize=sizeof(struct tcp_ehash_bucket)
    numentries=thash_entries
    scale=(num_physpages >= 128 * 1024) ? (25-PAGE_SHIFT) : (27-PAGE_SHIFT)
    limit=0

On i386, PAGE_SHIFT is 12 for a page size of 4K
On ia64, PAGE_SHIFT defaults to 14 for a page size of 16K

The num_physpages test above makes the allocation take a larger fraction
of the total memory on systems with larger memory.  The threshold size
for a i386 system is 512MB.  For an ia64 system with 16KB pages the
threshold is 2GB.

For smaller memory systems-
On i386, scale = (27 - 12) = 15
On ia64, scale = (27 - 14) = 13
For larger memory systems-
On i386, scale = (25 - 12) = 13
On ia64, scale = (25 - 14) = 11

  For the rest of this discussion, I'll just track the larger memory case.

  The default behavior has numentries=thash_entries=0, so the allocated
size is determined by either scale or by the default limit of 1/16 of
total memory.

In alloc_large_system_hash-
|	numentries = (flags & HASH_HIGHMEM) ? nr_all_pages : nr_kernel_pages;
|	numentries += (1UL << (20 - PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1;
|	numentries >>= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;
|	numentries <<= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;

  At this point, numentries is pages for all of memory, rounded up to the
nearest megabyte boundary.

|	/* limit to 1 bucket per 2^scale bytes of low memory */
|	if (scale > PAGE_SHIFT)
|		numentries >>= (scale - PAGE_SHIFT);
|	else
|		numentries <<= (PAGE_SHIFT - scale);

On i386, numentries >>= (13 - 12), so numentries is 1/8196 of
bytes of total memory.
On ia64, numentries <<= (14 - 11), so numentries is 1/2048 of
bytes of total memory.

|        log2qty = long_log2(numentries);
|
|        do {
|                size = bucketsize << log2qty;

bucketsize is 16, so size is 16 times numentries, rounded
down to a power of two.

On i386, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/128 of bytes of total memory.

For smaller systems the results are
On i386, size is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.

  The large page effect can be removed by just replacing
the use of PAGE_SHIFT with a constant of 12 in the calls to
alloc_large_system_hash.  That makes them more like the other uses of
that function from fs/inode.c and fs/dcache.c

These get created by some drivers that don't generally even want a pfn
remapping at all, but would really mostly prefer to just map pages
they've allocated individually instead.

For now, create a helper function that turns such an incomplete PFN
remapping call into a loop that does that explicit mapping.  In the long
run we almost certainly want to export a totally different interface for
that, though.
