The low level preemption code fiddles with the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit for
no reason and calls schedule() with interrupts disabled, which is
wrong to begin with. Remove the PREEMPT_ACTIVE fiddling and call the
proper schedule_preempt_irq() function.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

There is no reason for per arch hardirq bits. Make them all generic

The low level interrupt entry code of m68k contains the following:
add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
do_IRQ();
irq_enter();
add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
handle_interrupt();
irq_exit();
sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
if (in_interrupt())
return; 0)
return;
if (local_softirq_pending())
do_softirq();ret_from_exception:
if (interrupted_context_is_kernel)
return:
....I tried to find a proper explanation for this, but the changelog is
sparse and there are no mails explaining it further. But obviously
this relates to the interrupt priority levels of the m68k and tries to
be extra clever with nested interrupts. Though this cleverness just
adds code bloat to the interrupt hotpath.For the common case of non nested interrupts the code runs through two
extra conditionals to the only important one, which checks whether the
return is to kernel or user space.For the nested case the checks for in_hardirq() and the priority mask
value on stack catch only the case where the nested interrupt happens
inside the hard irq context of the first interrupt. If the nested
interrupt happens while the first interrupt handles soft interrupts,
then these extra checks buy nothing. The nested interrupt will fall
through to the final kernel/user space return check at
ret_from_exception.Changing the code flow in the following way:
do_IRQ();
irq_enter();
add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
handle_interrupt();
irq_exit();
sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
if (in_interrupt())
return;
if (local_softirq_pending())
do_softirq();ret_from_exception:
if (interrupted_context_is_kernel)
return:makes the region protected by the hardirq count slightly smaller and
the softirq handling is invoked with a minimal deeper stack. But
otherwise it's completely functional equivalent and saves 104 bytes of
text in arch/m68k/kernel/entry.o.This modification allows us further to get rid of the limitations
which m68k puts on the preempt_count layout, so we can make the
preempt count bits completely generic.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

On a 68k platform a couple of interrupts are demultiplexed and
"polled" from a top level interrupt. Unfortunately there is no way to
determine which of the sub interrupts raised the top level interrupt,
so all of the demultiplexed interrupt handlers need to be
invoked. Given a high enough frequency this can trigger the spurious
interrupt detection mechanism, if one of the demultiplex interrupts
returns IRQ_NONE continuously. But this is a false positive as the
polling causes this behaviour and not buggy hardware/software.Introduce IRQ_POLLED which can be set at interrupt chip setup time via
irq_set_status_flags(). The flag excludes the interrupt from the
spurious detector and from all core polling activities.Reported-and-tested-by: Michael Schmitz

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"As a first remark I'd like to note that the way to build perf tooling
has been simplified and sped up, in the future it should be enough for
you to build perf via:cd tools/perf/

number of CPUs and will do a parallel build+install.The various build system inefficiencies and breakages Linus reported
against the v3.12 pull request should now be resolved - please

"The main RCU changes in this cycle are:- Idle entry/exit changes, to throttle callback execution and other
refinements to speed up kbuild, primarily to address performance

inspired by an -rt debugging session.- Code reorganization moving RCU's source files into its own
kernel/rcu/ directory.- RCU documentation updates

This reverts commit 8eba18428ac926f436064ac281e76d36d51bd631.
uv_trace() is not used by anything, nor is uv_trace_nmi_func, nor
uv_trace_func.That's not how we do instrumentation code in the kernel: we add
tracepoints, printk()s, etc. so that everyone not just those with
magic kernel modules can debug a system.So remove this unused (and misguied) piece of code.

Since the introduction of PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED in:
f27dde8deef3 ("sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_count")
we need to be able to look at both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and
PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED to understand the full preemption behaviour.Add it to the trace output.

There is a race between stop_two_cpus, and the global stop_cpus.
It is possible for two CPUs to get their stopper functions queued
"backwards" from one another, resulting in the stopper threads
getting stuck, and the system hanging. This can happen because
queuing up stoppers is not synchronized.This patch adds synchronization between stop_cpus (a rare operation),
and stop_two_cpus.Reported-and-Tested-by: Prarit Bhargava

Randconfig build by Fengguang's robot army reported:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `extlog_print':
>> acpi_extlog.c:(.text+0xcc719): undefined reference to `boot_cpu_physical_apicid'The config had CONFIG_SMP=n so we picked up this definition from:
: #define cpu_physical_id(cpu) boot_cpu_physical_apicid
But boot_cpu_physical_apicid is defined in arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c
which is only built if CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y.Reported-by: Fengguang Wu
