Remove the SMT-nice feature which idles sibling cpus on SMT cpus to
facilitiate nice working properly where cpu power is shared. The idling of
cpus in the presence of runnable tasks is considered too fragile, easy to
break with outside code, and the complexity of managing this system if an
architecture comes along with many logical cores sharing cpu power will be
unworkable.Remove the associated per_cpu_gain variable in sched_domains used only by
this code.Also:
The reason is that with dynticks enabled, this code breaks without yet
further tweaks so dynticks brought on the rapid demise of this code. So
either we tweak this code or kill it off entirely. It was Ingo's preference
to kill it off. Either way this needs to happen for 2.6.21 since dynticks
has gone in.Signed-off-by: Con Kolivas

This patch adds trivial support for SMARTMIPS extension. This extension
is currently implemented by 4KS[CD] CPUs.Basically it saves/restores ACX register, which is part of the SMARTMIPS
ASE, when needed. This patch does *not* add any support for Smartmips MMU
features.Futhermore this patch does not add explicit support for 4KS[CD] CPUs since
they are respectively mips32 and mips32r2 compliant. So with the current
processor configuration, a platform that has such CPUs needs to select
both configs:CPU_HAS_SMARTMIPS
SYS_HAS_CPU_MIPS32_R[12]This is due to the processor configuration which is mixing up all the
architecture variants and the processor types.The drawback of this, is that we currently pass '-march=mips32' option to
gcc when building a kernel instead of '-march=4ksc' for 4KSC case. This
can lead to a kernel image a little bit bigger than required.Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu

From the 01408c4939479ec46c15aa7ef6e2406be50eeeca log message:
The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source
address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the*
*destination*.This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd
thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or
what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a
reasonable thing to see).If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't
cause an error.The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing
so causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than
copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic
to *not* zero out bytes on failure.< --- end cite --- >
This patch finally implements at least a not so pretty solution by
duplicating the relevant part of __copy_user.Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

The kernel use 64-bit for sc_regs[0], and both N32/N64 userland
expects it was 64-bit. But size of 'long' on N32 is actually 32-bit.
So this definition make some confusion. Use __u32 and __u64 for
N32/N64 sigcontext to get rid of this confusion.Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto

Add R2 optimized variants of clear_bit, set_bit and test_and_clear_bit.
With gcc 4.1.1 this saves 1592 bytes on a defconfig (minus IPv6) kernel.
Turns out that R2 bitop instructions are no gain for the other bitop
functions.Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

This implementation has support for the concept of one separate ioport
address space by PCI domain. A pointer to the virtual address where
the port space of a domain has been mapped has been added to struct
pci_controller and systems should be fixed to fill in this value. For
single domain systems this will be the same value as passed to
set_io_port_base().Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture
individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in
asm/termios.h. There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be
architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios
structure. The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h
anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of
the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too.Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused
in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case
there are plans to use them yet.Signed-off-by: Tilman Schmidt

All the information in the MIPS c0_status register is priviledged.
Nothing that would constitute part of the thread context.The one flag one could possibly argument about might be c0_status.fr
but none of the ABIs or tools or application software can make use
of it.So for consistency with restore_sigcontext32(), which does not
restore c0_status register, this patch remove the saving part.Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu
