In many cases, especially in networking, it can be beneficial to know at
compile time whether the architecture can do unaligned accesses efficiently.
This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol
HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
for that purpose and adds it to the powerpc and x86 architectures. Also add
some documentation about alignment and networking, and especially one intended
use of this symbol.

In order to be able to debug things like the X server and programs using
the PPC Cell SPUs, the debugger needs to be able to access device memory
through ptrace and /proc/pid/mem.
This patch:
Add the generic_access_phys access function and put the hooks in place
to allow access_process_vm to access device or PPC Cell SPU memory.

* Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU". This is
used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed
before there are per_cpu areas allocated.
["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu
areas have been setup".]
This patchset adds these new macros:
DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue)
EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name)
DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name)
early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)
early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx)
early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu)
The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
map and pointer. It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
elements to "_initvalue". The early_* macros provide access to
the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
pointer. This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup. After
that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.
The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to
access the variable if you have a function that can be called both
"early" and "late". It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not
then it's still valid. Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used
instead:
#define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) \
(early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ? \
early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] : \
per_cpu(_name, _cpu))
A better method is to actually check the pointer manually. In the
case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late":
void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node)
{
int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map);
if (cpu_to_node_map)
cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node;
else
per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node;
}
* Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers
to topology cpumask_t maps are available. Otherwise, use the function
returning the cpumask_t value. This is useful if cpumask_t set size
is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack.
* The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while
the non-debug case has been optimized a bit.
* Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c
* Clean up #ifdef in setup.c

It also adds some helper functions to read system time and

They are based on the xen code. They are enabled using
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK.
Subsequent patches of this series will put the code in use.

Previously, one would have to specifically choose CONFIG_OLPC and
CONFIG_PCI_GOOLPC in order to enable PCI_OLPC. That doesn't really work
for distro kernels, so this patch allows one to choose CONFIG_OLPC and
CONFIG_PCI_GOANY in order to build in OLPC support in a generic kernel (as
requested by Robert Millan).
This also moves GOOLPC before GOANY in the menuconfig list.
Finally, make pci_access_init return early if we detect OLPC hardware.
There's no need to continue probing stuff, and pci_pcbios_init
specifically trashes our settings (we didn't run into that before because
PCI_GOANY wasn't supported).
