0437e109e1 sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing code
the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.

this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.

(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)

under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

4b3e975e4a [MIPS] Fix scheduling latency issue on 24K, 34K and 74K cores
The idle loop goes to sleep using the WAIT instruction if !need_resched().
This has is suffering from from a race condition that if if just after
need_resched has returned 0 an interrupt might set TIF_NEED_RESCHED but
we've just completed the test so go to sleep anyway.  This would be
trivial to fix by just disabling interrupts during that sequence as in:

        local_irq_disable();
        if (!need_resched())
                __asm__("wait");
        local_irq_enable();

but the processor architecture leaves it undefined if a processor calling
WAIT with interrupts disabled will ever restart its pipeline and indeed
some processors have made use of the freedom provided by the architecture
definition.  This has been resolved and the Config7.WII bit indicates that
the use of WAIT is safe on 24K, 24KE and 34K cores.  It also is safe on
74K starting revision 2.1.0 so enable the use of WAIT with interrupts
disabled for 74K based on a c0_prid of at least that.

e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up
	arm
	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig

f7e4217b00 rename thread_info to stack
This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
placing the thread_info structure.

Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
current thread and task structure via a single pointer.

It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g.  ia64
could benefit.

69331af79c Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot console
The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the
CON_BOOT flag.  The implementation has some flaws though.  The major
problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore
any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel
command line).

This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot
console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will
become the default console instead.  This way the unregister call for the
boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the
handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly.
Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the
output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages.

The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly
disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically
with that patch.

I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances
found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed.  The
code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf).

Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by
Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc.

639702bd72 [MIPS] Register PCI host bridge resource earlier
PCI based SNI RM machines have their EISA bus behind an Intel PCI/EISA
bridge. So the PCI IO range must start at 0x0000. Changing that will
break the PCI bus, because i8259.c already has registered it's IO
addresses before the PCI bus gets initialized. Below is a patch,
which will register the PCI host bridge resources inside
register_pci_controller(). It also changes i8259.c to use insert_region(),
because request_resource() will fail, if the IO space of the PIT hanging
of the PCI host bridge (maybe passing the resource parent to
init_i8259_irqs() is a cleaner fix for that).

ba755f8ec8 [MIPS] Fix BUG(), BUG_ON() handling
With commit 63dc68a8cf, kernel can not
handle BUG() and BUG_ON() properly since get_user() returns false for
kernel code.  Use __get_user() to skip unnecessary access_ok().  This
patch also make BRK_BUG code encoded in the TNE instruction.

faea623464 [MIPS] Retry {save,restore}_fp_context if failed in atomic context.
The save_fp_context()/restore_fp_context() might sleep on accessing
user stack and therefore might lose FPU ownership in middle of them.

If these function failed due to "in_atomic" test in do_page_fault,
touch the sigcontext area in non-atomic context and retry these
save/restore operation.

This is a replacement of a (broken) fix which was titled "Allow CpU
exception in kernel partially".

5323180db7 [MIPS] Disallow CpU exception in kernel again.
The commit 4d40bff7110e9e1a97ff8c01bdd6350e9867cc10 ("Allow CpU
exception in kernel partially") was broken.  The commit was to fix
theoretical problem but broke usual case.  Revert it for now.

8a1e97ee2e [MIPS] SMTC: Fix recursion in instant IPI replay code.
local_irq_restore -> raw_local_irq_restore -> irq_restore_epilog ->
	smtc_ipi_replay -> smtc_ipi_dq -> spin_unlock_irqrestore ->
	_spin_unlock_irqrestore -> local_irq_restore

The recursion does abort when there is no more IPI queued for a CPU, so
this isn't usually fatal which is why we got away with this for so long
until this was discovered by code inspection.
