96de0e252c Convert files to UTF-8 and some cleanups
* Convert files to UTF-8.

  * Also correct some people's names
    (one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
    Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file
    indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss',
    which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to
    7bit.)

  * Correct town names (Goettingen -> Göttingen)

  * Update Eberhard Mönkeberg's address (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/8/313)

19c5870c0e Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks (arch code)
One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log.
There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes
so for arch/xxx files.

It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the
printks in arch code.

b460cbc581 pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().

A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.

A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.

Changelog:

	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().

	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:

	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

4603ac180a powerpc: add scaled time accounting
This adds POWERPC specific hooks for scaled time accounting.

POWER6 includes a SPURR register.  The SPURR is based off the PURR register
but is scaled based on CPU frequency and issue rates.  This gives a more
accurate account of the instructions used per task.  The PURR and timebase
will be constant relative to the wall clock, irrespective of the CPU
frequency.

This implementation reads the SPURR register in account_system_vtime which
is only call called on context witch and hard and soft irq entry and exit.
The percentage of user and system time is then estimated using the ratio of
these accounted by the PURR.  If the SPURR is not present, the PURR read.

An earlier implementation of this patch read the SPURR whenever the PURR
was read, which included the system call entry and exit path.
Unfortunately this showed a performance regression on lmbench runs, so was
re-implemented.

I've included the lmbench results here when run bare metal on POWER6.  1st
column is the unpatch results.  2nd column is the results using the below
patch and the 3rd is the % diff of these results from the base.  4th and
5th columns are the results and % differnce from the base using the older
patch (SPURR read in syscall entry/exit path).

1f7d6668c2 powerpc: add Altivec/VMX state to coredumps
Update dump_task_altivec() (which has so far never been put to use) so that
it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the
same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue
typedef and #defines to make it work.

A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because
it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and
0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

081c11a5d0 [POWERPC] Fix 64 bits vDSO DWARF info for CR register
The current DWARF info for CR are incorrect, causing the gcc unwinder to
go to lunch if we take a segfault in the vdso.  This fixes it.

Problem identified by Andrew Haley, and fix provided by Jakub Jelinek
(thanks !).

Unfortunately, a bug in gcc cause it to not quite work either, but that
is being fixed separately with something around the lines of:

linux-unwind.h:

     fs->regs.reg[R_CR2].loc.offset = (long) &regs->ccr - new_cfa;
+    /* CR? regs are just 32-bit and PPC is big-endian.  */
+    fs->regs.reg[R_CR2].loc.offset += sizeof (long) - 4;

(According to Jakub)

f66bce5e6a [POWERPC] Add 1TB workaround for PA6T
PA6T has a bug where the slbie instruction does not honor the large
segment bit.  As a result, we have to always use slbia when switching
context.

We don't have to worry about changing the slbie's during fault processing,
since they should never be replacing one VSID with another using the
same ESID.  I.e. there's no risk for inserting duplicate entries due to a
failed slbie of the old entry.  So as long as we clear it out on context
switch we should be fine.

After 6 years the ppc64 kernel still thinks its important to tell me my
cache line size is 0x80 bytes. I think most people who care know that by
now. The rest probably cant even understand the hex output.

Since we might have misconfigured firmware or cpus that have a linesize
that isnt 128 bytes, I still print it out for those cases. If people
would prefer to remove it completely, lets do it.

Also for lpar remove the htab_address printout since its not used.
