Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and
update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires
update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults.This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and
callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is
necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed). This allow
fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fixes, cleanups]

The RO_DATA section were hardcoded to a specific
alignment in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.h.
But for sparc64 this did not match the PAGE_SIZE.Introduce a new section definition named:
RO_DATA that takes actual alignment as parameter.
RODATA are provided for backward compatibility.On top of this avoid hardcoding alignment for
sparc64 in reset of the script
Fix is build-tested on sparc64 + x86_64.Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.Idea from: Andrew Morton

This series extena and standardises local_t operations on each architecture,
allowing a rich set of atomic operations to be done on per-cpu data with
minimal performance impact. On architectures where there seems to be no
difference between the SMP and UP operation (same memory barriers, same
LOCKing), local.h simply includes asm-generic/local.h, which removes
duplicated code from the current kernel tree.This patch:

atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error
prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes
the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions,
probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and
atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes
sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking.atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
Digging into the FRV architecture shows me that it is also affected by
such a circular dependency. Here is the diff applying this against the
rest of my atomic.h patches.It applies over the atomic.h standardization patches.

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]

Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of
an mm. Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are
needed in common code. They are:arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork
arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an
mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec.The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific
activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for
other architectures. It's called when an mm is first used.Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge

The page_test_and_clear_dirty primitive really consists of two
operations, page_test_dirty and the page_clear_dirty. The combination
of the two is not an atomic operation, so it makes more sense to have
two separate operations instead of one.
In addition to the improved readability of the s390 version of
SetPageUptodate, it now avoids the page_test_dirty operation which is
an insert-storage-key-extended (iske) instruction which is an expensive
operation.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is
possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when
lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed. The
best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions
case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt
handler.Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix.

This reverts commit 39d61db0edb34d60b83c5e0d62d0e906578cc707.
The commit was buggy in multiple ways:
- the conversion to ilog2() was incorrect to begin with
- it tested the wrong #defines, so on all architectures but FRV you'd
never see the bug except for constant arguments.
- the new "get_order()" macro used its arguments multiple times, and
didn't even parenthesize them properly
- despite the comments, it was not true that you could use it for
constant initializers, since not all architectures even use the
generic page.h header file.All of the problems are individually fixable, but it all boils down to:
better just revert it, and re-do it from scratch.Cc: David Howells

The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched. This turns
out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a
specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent
instructions. This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided.
The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch
multicall.To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the
idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time.
Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of
multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some
kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow
one or the other to be active. Although there is no real reason a more
comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated
need for this extra complexity.Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden

This defines a simple and minimalist programming interface for GPIO APIs:
- Documentation/gpio.txt ... describes things (read it)
- include/asm-arm/gpio.h ... defines the ARM hook, which just punts
to for any implementation- include/asm-generic/gpio.h ... implement "can sleep" variants as calling
the normal ones, for systems that don't handle i2c expanders.The immediate need for such a cross-architecture API convention is to support
drivers that work the same on AT91 ARM and AVR32 AP7000 chips, which embed many
of the same controllers but have different CPUs. However, several other users
have been reported, including a driver for a hardware watchdog chip and some
handhelds.org multi-CPU button drivers.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

On the Maple board, the AMD8111 IDE is in legacy mode... except that it
appears on IRQ 20 instead of IRQ 15. For drivers/ide this was handled by
the architecture's "pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()" function, but in libata we
just hard-code the numbers 14 and 15.This patch provides asm-powerpc/libata-portmap.h which maps the IRQ as
appropriate, having added a pci_dev argument to the
ATA_{PRIM,SECOND}ARY_IRQ macros.There's probably a better way to do this -- especially if we observe
that the _only_ case in which this seemingly-generic
"pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()" function returns anything other than 14 and
15 for primary and secondary respectively is the case of the AMD8111 on
the Maple board -- couldn't we handle that with a special case in the
pata_amd driver, or perhaps with a PCI quirk for Maple to switch it into
native mode during early boot and assign resources properly?Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

This patch is designed to fix:
- Disk eating corruptor on KT7 after resume from RAM
- VIA IRQ handling
- VIA fixups for bus lockups after resume from RAMThe core of this is to add a table of resume fixups run at resume time.
We need to do this for a variety of boards and features, but particularly
we need to do this to get various critical VIA fixups done on resume.The second part of the problem is to handle VIA IRQ number rules which
are a bit odd and need special handling for PIC interrupts. Various
patches broke various boxes and while this one may not be perfect
(hopefully it is) it ensures the workaround is applied to the right
devices only.From: Jean Delvare
Now that PCI quirks are replayed on software resume, we can safely

This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as
they wish. The code is derived from arch/powerpc.The advantages of having common BUG handling are:
- consistent BUG reporting across architectures
- shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data
- implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistentlyThis means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction
itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64.A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction,
which has file/line information associated with it. This extra information is
stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file.When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might
possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction).
It then calls report_bug(). This searches __bug_table for a matching
instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line
information. If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the
trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE.Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the
illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG.lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table
entries. The architecture must call
module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding
module_finalize/cleanup functions.Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount.
At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each
but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at
all.Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so
architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in
the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point.
gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the
same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG
itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in
generating the __bug_table entry.[randy.dunlap@oracle.com: Handle BUG=n, GENERIC_BUG=n to prevent build errors]
