8d4fbcfbe0 Fix WARN_ON() on bitfield ops
Alexey Dobriyan noticed that the new WARN_ON() semantics that were
introduced by commit 684f978347 (to also
return the value to be warned on) didn't compile when given a bitfield,
because the typeof doesn't work for bitfields.

So instead of the typeof trick, use an "int" variable together with a
"!!(x)" expression, as suggested by Al Viro.

To make matters more interesting, Paul Mackerras points out that that is
sub-optimal on Power, but the old asm-coded comparison seems to be buggy
anyway on 32-bit Power if the conditional was 64-bit, so I think there
are more problems there.

Regardless, the new WARN_ON() semantics may have been a bad idea.  But
this at least avoids the more serious complications.

045e72acf1 fix 'dynreloc miscount' link error on Powerpc
Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com> reported:
2.6.23-rc1 breaks the build for 64-bit powerpc for me (using
maple_defconfig):

  LD      vmlinux.o
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: dynreloc miscount for
kernel/built-in.o, section .opd
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: can not edit opd Bad value
make: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1

However, I see a possibly related binutils patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/33650

It was tracked down to be caused by the weak prototype
declaration in mm.h:
__attribute__((weak)) const char *arch_vma_name(struct vm_area_struct *vma);

But there is no need to make the declaration weak - only the definition
needs to be marked weak.  So drop the weak declaration.  And in the process
drop the duplicate definition in page.h for powerpc.

Note: the arch_vma_name fix for x86_64 needs to be applied first to avoid
breaking x86_64

7fd7218610 [POWERPC] MPIC protected sources
Some HW platforms, such as the new cell blades, requires some MPIC sources
to be left alone by the operating system. This implements support for
a "protected-sources" property in the mpic controller node containing a list
of source numbers to be protected against operating system interference.

For those interested in the gory details, the MPIC on the southbridge of
those blades has some of the processor outputs routed to the cell, and
at least one routed as a GPIO to the service processor. It will be used
in the GA product for routing some of the southbridge error interrupts
to the service processor which implements some of the RAS stuff, such
as checkstopping when fatal errors occurs before they can propagate.

486acd4850 [CELL] spufs: rework list management and associated locking
This sorts out the various lists and related locks in the spu code.

In detail:

 - the per-node free_spus and active_list are gone.  Instead struct spu
   gained an alloc_state member telling whether the spu is free or not
 - the per-node spus array is now locked by a per-node mutex, which
   takes over from the global spu_lock and the per-node active_mutex
 - the spu_alloc* and spu_free function are gone as the state change is
   now done inline in the spufs code.  This allows some more sharing of
   code for the affinity vs normal case and more efficient locking
 - some little refactoring in the affinity code for this locking scheme

1474855d08 [CELL] oprofile: add support to OProfile for profiling CELL BE SPUs
From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com>

This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c
to add in the SPU profiling capabilities.  In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory
was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code.
Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which
are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data
structures.

Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn).  Check pointer
returned from kzalloc.  Eliminated unnecessary cast.  Better error
handling and cleanup in the related area.  64-bit unsigned long parameter
was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to
unsigned long.

aa6d5b2025 [CELL] cell: add per BE structure with info about its SPUs
Addition of a spufs-global "cbe_info" array. Each entry contains information

* list of spus (both free and busy spus are in this list);
* list of free spus (replacing the static spu_list from spu_base.c)
* number of spus;
* number of reserved (non scheduleable) spus.

SPE affinity implementation actually requires only access to one spu per
BE node (since it implements its own pointer to walk through the other spus
of the ring) and the number of scheduleable spus (n_spus - non_sched_spus)
However having this more general structure can be useful for other
functionalities, concentrating per-cbe statistics / data.

813f90728e [CELL] pmi: remove support for mutiple devices.
The pmi driver got simplified by removing support for multiple devices.
As there is no more than one pmi device per maschine, there is no need to
specify the device for listening and sending messages.

This way the caller (cbe_cpufreq) doesn't need to scan the device tree.
When registering the handler on a board without a pmi
interface, pmi.c will just return -ENODEV.

broken out of the earlier version of this patch. So this is

5fb7dc37dc define new percpu interface for shared data
per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.

One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.

This patch:

Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

97ac73506c sys_fallocate() implementation on i386, x86_64 and powerpc
fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow
applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system.
Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need
to support an inode operation called ->fallocate().
Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain
level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications
also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the
the system becomes full.

Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which
can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working
on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to
each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems
can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing
the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that
posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first
and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall
back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks.
ToDos:
1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64,
   and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from
   previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later
   once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches
   in this take.
2. Changes to glibc,
   a) to support fallocate() system call
   b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate()

317b3c2167 fbdev: detect primary display device
Add function helper, fb_is_primary_device().  Given struct fb_info, it will
return a nonzero value if the device is the primary display.

Currently, only the i386 is supported where the function checks for the
IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag.

9281acea6a kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0'
KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer.  This is nonsense and error-prone.  Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.

This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.

* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
  is fixed.

* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
  MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
  trailing '\0'.  Fix it.

4b7775870b Introduce compat_u64 and compat_s64 types
One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the
different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines.  A number of
drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as
'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks
all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code.

Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types,
compat_u64 and compat_s64.  These are defined on all architectures to have
the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64.

575e3348cb PCI: Use a weak symbol for the empty version of pcibios_add_platform_entries()
I'm not sure if this is going to fly, weak symbols work on the compilers I'm
using, but whether they work for all of the affected architectures I can't say.
I've cc'ed as many arch maintainers/lists as I could find.

But assuming they do, we can use a weak empty definition of
pcibios_add_platform_entries() to avoid having an empty definition on every
arch.
