5a3ae27605 x86, PAT: Remove duplicate memtype reserve in pci mmap
pci mmap code was doing memtype reserve for a while now. Recently we
added memtype tracking in remap_pfn_range, and pci code indirectly calls
remap_pfn_range. So, we don't need seperate tracking in pci code
anymore. Which means a patch that removes ~50 lines of code :-).

Also, recently we found out that the pci tracking is not working as we expect
it to work in some cases. Specifically, userlevel X mmap of pci, with some
recent version of X, is having a problem with vm_page_prot getting reset.
The pci tracking uses vm_page_prot to pass on the protection type from parent
to child during fork.
a) Parent does a pci mmap
b) We look at PAT and get either UC_MINUS or WC mapping for parent
c) Store that mapping type in vma vm_page_prot for future use
d) This thread does a fork
e) Fork results in mmap_ops ->open for the child process
f) We get the vm_page_prot from vma and reserve that type for the child process

But, between c) and e) above, the vma vm_page_prot is getting reset to zero.
This results in PAT reserve failing at the time of fork as in here.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123858163103240&w=2

This cleanup makes the above problem go away as we do not depend on
vm_page_prot in our PAT code anymore.

platform_get/set_rtc_time() is not implemented by any of the supported
xtensa platforms.  Remove the facility completely.

The initial seconds for xtime come from read_persistent_clock() which
returns just 0 in the generic implementation.  Platforms that sport a
persistent clock can implement this function.

This is needed to implement the ccount as a clock source.

c947a585ab xtensa: cope with ram beginning at higher addresses
The current assumption of the memory code is that the first RAM PFN in
the system is 0.

Adjust the relevant code to play well with setups where memory starts
at higher addresses, indicated by PLATFORM_DEFAULT_MEM_START.

The new memory model looks like this:

+----------+--+----------------------+----------------+
|          |  |                      |                |
|          |  |         RAM          |                |
|          |  |                      |                |
+----------+--+----------------------+----------------+
|          |  |                      |                |
+- PFN 0   |  +- min_low_pfn         +- max_low_pfn   +- max_pfn
           |
           +- ARCH_PFN_OFFSET
           +- PLATFORM_DEFAULT_MEM_START >> PAGE_SIZE

The memory map contains pages starting from pfn ARCH_PFN_OFFSET up to
max_low_pfn.  The only zone used right now will span exactly the same
region.

Usually, ARCH_PFN_OFFSET and min_low_pfn are the same value.  Handle
them separately for robustness.  Gapping pages will be in the memory
map but marked as reserved and won't be touched.

264da9f708 xtensa: don't make bootmem bitmap larger than required
If min_low_pfn is non-zero, the bitmap reserved for bootmem is bigger
than needed.  The number of pages bootmem has to maintain is the range
from min_low_pfn to max_low_pfn.

For now it has only been a theoretical mistake, min_low_pfn was always
zero.

28a0ce7f64 xtensa: use correct stack pointer for stack traces
Right now, the xtensa stacktrace code reads the _current_ kernel stack
pointer if nothing is supplied.  With debugging facilities like sysrq
this means that the backtrace of the sysrq-handler is printed instead
of a trace of the given task's stack.

When no stack pointer is specified in show_trace() and show_stack(),
use the stack pointer that comes with the handed in task descriptor to
make stack traces more useful.

f3554f4bc6 preadv/pwritev: Add preadv and pwritev system calls.
This patch adds preadv and pwritev system calls.  These syscalls are a
pretty straightforward combination of pread and readv (same for write).
They are quite useful for doing vectored I/O in threaded applications.
Using lseek+readv instead opens race windows you'll have to plug with
locking.

Other systems have such system calls too, for example NetBSD, check
here: http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/preadv.2.html

The application-visible interface provided by glibc should look like
this to be compatible to the existing implementations in the *BSD family:

  ssize_t preadv(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset);
  ssize_t pwritev(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset);

This prototype has one problem though: On 32bit archs is the (64bit)
offset argument unaligned, which the syscall ABI of several archs doesn't
allow to do.  At least s390 needs a wrapper in glibc to handle this.  As
we'll need a wrappers in glibc anyway I've decided to push problem to
glibc entriely and use a syscall prototype which works without
arch-specific wrappers inside the kernel: The offset argument is
explicitly splitted into two 32bit values.

The patch sports the actual system call implementation and the windup in
the x86 system call tables.  Other archs follow as separate patches.

1bc4faa59b sgi-gru: remove SGI_GRU as a valid config option for ia64 configs with SGI_UV
Some current configs turn on GRU for ia64.  The GRU code does not
correctly load on boot on ia64 (GRU does continue to work for x86-64), so
changing the IA64 Kconfig to not select GRU on ia64 configs for now until
we have time to fix.

43918f2bf4 signals: remove 'handler' parameter to tracehook functions
Container-init must behave like global-init to processes within the
container and hence it must be immune to unhandled fatal signals from
within the container (i.e SIG_DFL signals that terminate the process).

But the same container-init must behave like a normal process to processes
in ancestor namespaces and so if it receives the same fatal signal from a
process in ancestor namespace, the signal must be processed.

Implementing these semantics requires that send_signal() determine pid
namespace of the sender but since signals can originate from workqueues/
interrupt-handlers, determining pid namespace of sender may not always be
possible or safe.

This patchset implements the design/simplified semantics suggested by
Oleg Nesterov.  The simplified semantics for container-init are:

	- container-init must never be terminated by a signal from a
	  descendant process.

	- container-init must never be immune to SIGKILL from an ancestor
	  namespace (so a process in parent namespace must always be able
	  to terminate a descendant container).

	- container-init may be immune to unhandled fatal signals (like
	  SIGUSR1) even if they are from ancestor namespace. SIGKILL/SIGSTOP
	  are the only reliable signals to a container-init from ancestor
	  namespace.

This patch:

Based on an earlier patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov and comments from
Roland McGrath (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/19/258).

The handler parameter is currently unused in the tracehook functions.
Besides, the tracehook functions are called with siglock held, so the
functions can check the handler if they later need to.

Removing the parameter simiplifies changes to sig_ignored() in a follow-on
patch.

bf6aede712 workqueue: add to_delayed_work() helper function
It is a fairly common operation to have a pointer to a work and to need a
pointer to the delayed work it is contained in.  In particular, all
delayed works which want to rearm themselves will have to do that.  So it
would seem fair to offer a helper function for this operation.
