7d1a2077a7 S5PV210: DMA: Add platform devices for PL330 DMACs
Samsung's Soc S5PV210 has three PL330 DMACs. First is dedicated for
Memory->Memory data transfer while the other two meant for data
transfer with peripherals.
Define and add latter two PL330 DMACs as platform devices on the
S5PV210 platform.

d800edebe3 S3C: DMA: Add api driver for PL330
Latest Samsung SoCs have one or more PL330 as their DMACs. This patch
implements the S3C DMA API for PL330 core driver.

The design has been kept as generic as possible while keeping effort to
add support for new SoCs to the minimum possible level.

Some of the salient features of this driver are:-
 o  Automatic scheduling of client requests onto DMAC if more than
    one DMAC can reach the peripheral. Factors, such as current load
    and number of exclusive but inactive peripherals that are
    supported by the DMAC, are used to decide suitability of a DMAC
    for a particular client.
 o  CIRCULAR buffer option is supported.
 o  The driver scales transparently with the number of DMACs and total
    peripherals in the platform, since all peripherals are added to
    the peripheral pool and DMACs to the controller pool.

For most conservative use of memory, smallest driver size and best
performance, we don't employ legacy data structures of the S3C DMA API.
That should not have any affect since those data structures are completely
invisible to the DMA clients.

c59bd56882 x86, hweight: Use a 32-bit popcnt for __arch_hweight32()
Use a 32-bit popcnt instruction for __arch_hweight32(), even on
x86-64.  Even though the input register will *usually* be
zero-extended due to the standard operation of the hardware, it isn't
necessarily so if the input value was the result of truncating a
64-bit operation.

Note: the POPCNT32 variant used on x86-64 has a technically
unnecessary REX prefix to make it five bytes long, the same as a CALL
instruction, therefore avoiding an unnecessary NOP.

84f30c66c3 cifs: don't update uniqueid in cifs_fattr_to_inode
We use this value to find an inode within the hash bucket, so we can't
change this without re-hashing the inode. For now, treat this value
as immutable.

Eventually, we should probably use an inode number change on a path
based operation to indicate that the lookup cache is invalid, but that's
a bit more code to deal with.

	bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’

Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel
hackers should be already used to this.

With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected

Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that
review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

3de29cab1f perf record: Fix bug mismatch with -c option definition
The -c option defines the user requested sampling period. It was implemented
using an unsigned int variable but the type of the option was OPT_LONG. Thus,
the option parser was overwriting memory belonging to other variables, namely
the mmap_pages leading to a zero page sampling buffer. The bug was exposed only
when compiling at -O0, probably because the compiler was padding variables at
higher optimization levels.

This patch fixes this problem by declaring user_interval as u64. This also
avoids wrap-around issues for large period on 32-bit systems.

Commiter note:

Made it use OPT_U64(user_interval) after implementing OPT_U64 in the
previous patch.

6ba85cea87 perf options: Introduce OPT_U64
We have things like user_interval (-c/--count) in 'perf record' that
needs this.

81880d603d atomic_t: Remove volatile from atomic_t definition
When looking at a performance problem on PowerPC, I noticed some awful code
generation:

We create two constants, write them out to the stack, read them straight back
in and sign extend them. What a mess.

It turns out this bad code is a result of us defining atomic_t as a
volatile int.

We removed the volatile attribute from the powerpc atomic_t definition years
ago, but commit ea43546750 (atomic_t: unify all
arch definitions) added it back in.

To dig up an old quote from Linus:

And screw up it does :)

With the volatile removed, we see much more reasonable code generation:

c00000000051f5b8:       3b 60 00 01     li      r27,1
...
c00000000051f5c0:       3b 80 00 00     li      r28,0
...

c00000000051fc7c:       7c 20 04 ac     lwsync
c00000000051fc80:       7c 00 f8 28     lwarx   r0,0,r31
c00000000051fc84:       7c 00 d8 00     cmpw    r0,r27
c00000000051fc88:       40 c2 00 10     bne-    c00000000051fc98
c00000000051fc8c:       7f 80 f9 2d     stwcx.  r28,0,r31
c00000000051fc90:       40 c2 ff f0     bne+    c00000000051fc80
c00000000051fc94:       4c 00 01 2c     isync

Six instructions less.

d1e86d64bc ARM: 6074/1: oprofile: convert from sysdev to platform device
This is a reworking of an original patch posted by Aaro Koskinen:

oprofile does not work with PM, because sysdev_suspend() is done with
interrupts disabled and oprofile needs a mutex. Implementing oprofile
as a platform device solves this problem.

fe166148f6 ARM: 6073/1: oprofile: remove old files and update KConfig
Enable hardware perf-events if CPU_HAS_PMU and select
HAVE_OPROFILE if HAVE_PERF_EVENTS. If no hardware support
is present, OProfile will fall back to timer mode.

This patch also removes the old OProfile drivers in favour
of the code implemented by perf.
