8c7e65742f arm: Provide _sdata and __bss_stop in the vmlinux.lds.S file
_sdata and __bss_stop are common symbols defined by many architectures
and made available to the kernel via asm-generic/sections.h. Kmemleak
uses these symbols when scanning the data sections.

faa7bc51c1 Check whether the TLB operations need broadcasting on SMP systems
ARMv7 SMP hardware can handle the TLB maintenance operations
broadcasting in hardware so that the software can avoid the costly IPIs.
This patch adds the necessary checks (the MMFR3 CPUID register) to avoid
the broadcasting if already supported by the hardware.

(this patch is based on the work done by Tony Thompson @ ARM)

bac4e960b5 [ARM] barriers: improve xchg, bitops and atomic SMP barriers
Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking:

- cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on
  architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory
  read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent
  ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM.

- test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers.

So put these barriers in.  Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub
operations which do not require barriers.

14f0aa3593 [ARM] disable NX support for OABI-supporting kernels
Our signal syscall restart handling for these kernels still uses

Unfortunately, fixing this is non-trivial, and so for the time
being, we resolve the problem by disabling NX support.

ae51e60984 [ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation types
From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>

To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
required.

The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
top half of a register.

The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
instruction itself.  The immediate bits in the instruction are not
contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

eb8f3142fa [ARM] 5456/1: add sys_preadv and sys_pwritev
Kernel 2.6.30-rc1 added sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to most archs
but not ARM, resulting in

<stdin>:1421:2: warning: #warning syscall preadv not implemented
<stdin>:1425:2: warning: #warning syscall pwritev not implemented

This patch adds sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to ARM.

These syscalls simply take five long-sized parameters, so they
should have no calling-convention/ABI issues in the kernel.

Tested on armv5tel eabi using a preadv/pwritev test program posted
on linuxppc-dev earlier this month.

It would be nice to get this into the kernel before 2.6.30 final,
so that glibc's kernel version feature test for these syscalls
doesn't have to special-case ARM.

4731f8b66d [ARM] 5428/1: Module relocation update for R_ARM_V4BX
It would seem when building kernel modules with modern binutils
(required by modern GCC) for ARM v4T targets (specifically observed
with the Samsung 24xx SoC which is an 920T) R_ARM_V4BX relocations
are emitted for function epilogues.

This manifests at module load time with an "unknown relocation: 40"
error message.

The following patch adds the R_ARM_V4BX relocation to the ARM kernel
module loader. The relocation operation is taken from that within the
binutils bfd library.

be093beb60 [ARM] pass reboot command line to arch_reset()
OMAP wishes to pass state to the boot loader upon reboot in order to
instruct it whether to wait for USB-based reflashing or not.  There is
already a facility to do this via the reboot() syscall, except we ignore
the string passed to machine_restart().

This patch fixes things to pass this string to arch_reset().  This means
that we keep the reboot mode limited to telling the kernel _how_ to
perform the reboot which should be independent of what we request the
boot loader to do.

446c92b290 [ARM] 5421/1: ftrace: fix crash due to tracing of __naked functions
This is a fix for the following crash observed in 2.6.29-rc3:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150

On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then
mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there
is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was
called.

19390c4d03 linker script: define __per_cpu_load on all SMP capable archs
Impact: __per_cpu_load available on all SMP capable archs

Percpu now requires three symbols to be defined - __per_cpu_load,
__per_cpu_start and __per_cpu_end.  There were three archs which
didn't have it.  Update them as follows.

* powerpc: can use generic PERCPU() macro.  Compile tested for
  powerpc32, compile/boot tested for powerpc64.

* ia64: can use generic PERCPU_VADDR() macro.  __phys_per_cpu_start is
  identical to __per_cpu_load.  Compile tested and symbol table looks
  identical after the change except for the additional __per_cpu_load.

* arm: added explicit __per_cpu_load definition.  Currently uses
  unified .init output section so can't use the generic macro.  Dunno
  whether the unified .init ouput section is required by arch
  peculiarity so I left it alone.  Please break it up and use PERCPU()
  if possible.

d4cc510c61 [ARM] 5418/1: restore lr before leaving mcount
gcc seems to expect that lr isn't clobbered by mcount, because for a
function starting with:

	static int func(void)
	{
		void *ra = __builtin_return_address(0);

		printk(KERN_EMERG "__builtin_return_address(0) = %pS\n", ra)

		...

the following assembler is generated by gcc 4.3.2:

	   0:   e1a0c00d        mov     ip, sp
	   4:   e92dd810        push    {r4, fp, ip, lr, pc}
	   8:   e24cb004        sub     fp, ip, #4      ; 0x4
	   c:   ebfffffe        bl      0 <mcount>
	  10:   e59f0034        ldr     r0, [pc, #52]
	  14:   e1a0100e        mov     r1, lr
	  18:   ebfffffe        bl      0 <printk>

Without this patch obviously __builtin_return_address(0) yields
func+0x10 instead of the return address of the caller.

Note this patch fixes a similar issue for the routines used with dynamic
ftrace even though this isn't currently selectable for ARM.

Not much point with gentle transition here: the struct irq_chip's

Fortunately, not widely used code, but hits a few architectures.

Note: In irq_select_affinity() I save a temporary in by mangling
irq_desc[irq].affinity directly.  Ingo, does this break anything?

98a79d6a50 cpumask: centralize cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map
Impact: cleanup

Each SMP arch defines these themselves.  Move them to a central
location.

Twists:
1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
   CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
   Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
   so I just manipulate them both in sync.

4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
   declarations.

2f757f2ab7 [ARM] dma: rejig DMA initialization
Rather than having the central DMA multiplexer call the architecture
specific DMA initialization function, have each architecture DMA
initialization function use core_initcall(), and register each DMA
channel separately with the multiplexer.

This removes the array of dma structures in the central multiplexer,
replacing it with an array of pointers instead; this is more flexible
since it allows the drivers to wrap the DMA structure (eventually
allowing us to transition non-ISA DMA drivers away.)

the kernel fails to also inspect the soft-float flag, so it

d7161a6534 kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single stepping
On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.

First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.

On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core.  The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping.  This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

c0e9587841 [ARM] Introduce new bitmask based cache type macros
Rather than trying to (inaccurately) decode the cache type from the
registers each time we need to decide what type of cache we have,
use a bitmask initialized early during boot.

Since the setup is a one-off initialization, we can be a little more
clever and take account of the CPU architecture as well.

Note that we continue to achieve the compactness on optimised kernels
by forcing tests to always-false or always-true as appropriate, thereby
allowing the compiler to do build-time code elimination.

90f1e08478 [ARM] Remove cache type printks
The cache type register found in ARMv5 and later CPUs changes format
and meaning depending on the CPU architecture version.  Currently,
this code:
a) doesn't work for everything - Xscale's are identified as
   'unknown 5'.
b) is not able to tell whether the caches are VIVT or VIPT from the
   cache type.
c) prints rubbish on some ARMv6 and ARMv7+ CPUs.

The two solutions to this are:
1. Add yet more code to decode and print the various different register
   formats.
2. Remove the code altogther.

The code only exists to decode and print the cache parameters.
Increasing the complexity of it just for the sake of a few prinks
isn't worth it.

e545a6140b kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier
Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.

The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.

Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got

60296c71f6 [ARM] prevent crashing when too much RAM installed
This patch will truncate and/or ignore memory banks if their kernel
direct mappings would (partially) overlap with the vmalloc area or
the mappings between the vmalloc area and the address space top, to
prevent crashing during early boot if there happens to be more RAM
installed than we are expecting.

Since the start of the vmalloc area is not at a fixed address (but
the vmalloc end address is, via the per-platform VMALLOC_END define),
a default area of 128M is reserved for vmalloc mappings, which can
be shrunk or enlarged by passing an appropriate vmalloc= command line
option as it is done on x86.

On a board with a 3:1 user:kernel split, VMALLOC_END at 0xfe000000,
two 512M RAM banks and vmalloc=128M (the default), this patch gives:

	Truncating RAM at 20000000-3fffffff to -35ffffff (vmalloc region overlap).
	Memory: 512MB 352MB = 864MB total

On a board with a 3:1 user:kernel split, VMALLOC_END at 0xfe800000,
two 256M RAM banks and vmalloc=768M, this patch gives:

	Truncating RAM at 00000000-0fffffff to -0e7fffff (vmalloc region overlap).
	Ignoring RAM at 10000000-1fffffff (vmalloc region overlap).

058ddee562 [ARM] Fix SMP booting with non-zero PHYS_OFFSET
The existing code tries to get the pmd for the temporary page table
by doing:

        pgd = pgd_alloc(&init_mm);
        pmd = pmd_offset(pgd, PHYS_OFFSET);

Since we have a two level page table, pmd_offset() is a no-op, so
this just has a casting effect from a pgd to a pmd - the address
argument is unused.  So this can't work.

Normally, we'd do:

	pgd = pgd_offset(&init_mm, PHYS_OFFSET);
	...
	pmd = pmd_offset(pgd, PHYS_OFFSET);

to get the pmd you want.  However, pgd_offset() takes the mm_struct,
not the (unattached) pgd we just allocated.  So, instead use:

        pgd = pgd_alloc(&init_mm);
        pmd = pmd_offset(pgd + pgd_index(PHYS_OFFSET), PHYS_OFFSET);

ef53d9c5e4 kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed locking
Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table.  We have one
global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists.  This causes
only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time.  Hence affects system
performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).

Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
system compared to present kretprobe implementation.

Solution:

 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
    present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table.  We will have
    two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
    lock for kretporbe object.

 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
    instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
    modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list.  To prevent
    deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
    lock.

 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
    track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
    table.

Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.

27ac792ca0 PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures
On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:

	u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);

always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.

The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):

#define PAGE_SHIFT      12
#define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)

The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.

Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

5cbad0ebf4 kgdb: support for ARCH=arm
This patch adds the ARCH=arm specific a kgdb backend, originally
written by Deepak Saxena <dsaxena@plexity.net> and George Davis
<gdavis@mvista.com>.  Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com>,
Nicolas Pitre, Manish Lachwani, and Jason Wessel have contributed
various fixups here as well.

The KGDB patch makes one change to the core ARM architecture such that
the traps are initialized early for use with the debugger or other
subsystems.

4a0b2b4dbe sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function
This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32

fc3a8828b1 driver core: fix a lot of printk usages of bus_id
We have the dev_printk() variants for this kind of thing, use them
instead of directly trying to access the bus_id field of struct device.

This is done in order to remove bus_id entirely.

b8f8c3cf0a nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop
Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:

	scheduler switch to idle task
	enable interrupts

Window starts here

	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
	      	irq_exit() stops the tick

	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)

	return from schedule()
	
	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();

Window ends here

The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.

The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.

Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.

cpu_idle()
{
	preempt_disable();

	while(1) {
		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
		 			          are in the idle loop

		 while (!need_resched())
		       halt();

		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
		 schedule();
		 preempt_disable();
	}
}

In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... 

/me grabs a large brown paperbag.
