This one took a long time to rear up because LDT usage is not very
common, but the bug is quite serious. It got introduced along with
another bug, already fixed, by 75b8bb3e56
After investigating a JRE failure, I found this bug was introduced a long time
ago, and had already managed to survive another bugfix which occurred on the
same line. The result is a total failure of the JRE due to LDT selectors not
working properly.

On x86_64 the gdb serial register structure defines the PS (also known
as eflags), CS and SS registers as 4 bytes entities.
This patch splits the x86_64 regnames enum into a 32 and 64 version to
account for the 32 bit entities in the gdb serial packets.
Also the program counter is properly filled in for the sleeping
threads.

On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.
First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.
On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core. The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

Currently, GART alloc_coherent tries to allocate pages with GFP_DMA32
for a device having dma_masks > 24bit < 32bits. If GART gets an
address that a device can't access to, GART try to map the address to
a virtual I/O address that the device can access to.
But Andi pointed out, "The GART is somewhere in the 4GB range so you
cannot use it to map anything < 4GB. Also GART is pretty small."
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/12/43
That is, it's possible that GART doesn't have virtual I/O address
space that a device can access to. The above behavior doesn't work for
a device having dma_masks > 24bit < 32bits.
This patch restores old GART alloc_coherent behavior (before the
alloc_coherent rewrite).

x86: make GART to respect device's dma_mask about virtual mappings
I wrote the above commit to fix a GART alloc_coherent regression, that
can't handle a device having dma_masks > 24bit < 32bits, introduced by
the alloc_coherent rewrite:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/200
After the alloc_coherent rewrite, GART alloc_coherent tried to
allocate pages with GFP_DMA32. If GART got an address that a device
can't access to, GART mapped the address to a virtual I/O address. But
GART mapping mechanism didn't take account of dma mask, so GART could
use a virtual I/O address that the device can't access to again.
Alan pointed out:
" This is indeed a specific problem found with things like older
AACRAID where control blocks must be below 31bits and the GART
is above 0x80000000. "
The above commit modified GART mapping mechanism to take care of dma
mask. But Andi pointed out, "The GART is somewhere in the 4GB range so
you cannot use it to map anything < 4GB. Also GART is pretty small."
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/12/43
That means it's possible that GART doesn't have virtual I/O address
space that a device can access to. The above commit (to modify GART
mapping mechanism to take care of dma mask) can't fix the regression
reliably so let's avoid making GART more complicated.
We need a solution that always works for dma_masks > 24bit <
32bits. That's how GART worked before the alloc_coherent rewrite.

Boardrev is always treated as a u32 everywhere else, no reason to
byteswap the 0xc2 value. The only use is to print out if it is
a prerelease board, the test being:
(olpc_platform_info.boardrev & 0xf) < 8
Which is currently always true as be32_to_cpu(0xc2) & 0xf = 0
but I doubt that was the intention here. The consequences of the bug
are pretty minor though (incorrect boardrev displayed in dmesg when
ofw support not configured)
Also annotate the temporary used to read the boardrev in the ofw
case.
The confusion was noticed by Sparse:
