Irq stacks provide an essential protection from stack overflows through
external interrupts, at the cost of two additionals stacks per CPU.

Enable them unconditionally to simplify the kernel build and prevent
people from accidentally disabling them.

Add support for using the USB Gecko adapter as an early debugging
console on the Nintendo GameCube and Wii video game consoles.
The USB Gecko is a 3rd party memory card interface adapter that provides
a EXI (External Interface) to USB serial converter.

Add hcall_entry and hcall_exit tracepoints.  This replaces the inline
assembly HCALL_STATS code and converts it to use the new tracepoints.

To keep the disabled case as quick as possible, we embed a status word
in the TOC so we can get at it with a single load.  By doing so we
keep the overhead at a minimum.  Time taken for a null hcall:

No tracepoint code:	135.79 cycles
Disabled tracepoints:	137.95 cycles

For reference, before this patch enabling HCALL_STATS resulted in a null
hcall of 201.44 cycles!

<title>powerpc: Add configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc</title>

<id>ba55bd74360ea4b8b95e73ed79474d37ff482b36</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.

The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
being fixed.

The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.

The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.

It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
s390.  This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().

This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

<content type='text'>
CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM is a remain of the pre-powerpc days and isn't
really meaningful anymore. It was basically equivalent to PPC64 || 6xx.

This removes it along with the following changes:

 - 32-bit platforms that relied on PPC32 &amp;&amp; PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now rely
   on 6xx which is what they want anyway.

 - A new symbol, PPC_BOOK3S, is defined that represent compliance with
   the "Server" variant of the architecture. This is set when either 6xx
   or PPC64 is set and open the door for future BOOK3E 64-bit.

 - 64-bit platforms that relied on PPC64 &amp;&amp; PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now use
   PPC64 &amp;&amp; PPC_BOOK3S

 - A separate and selectable CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE option is now
   used to control the use of prom_init.c
