Russell King ba84be2338 remove linux/hardirq.h from asm-generic/local.h
While looking at reducing the amount of architecture namespace pollution
in the generic kernel, I found that asm/irq.h is included in the vast
majority of compilations on ARM (around 650 files.)

Since asm/irq.h includes a sub-architecture include file on ARM, this
causes a negative impact on the ccache's ability to re-use the build
results from other sub-architectures, so we have a desire to reduce the
dependencies on asm/irq.h.

It turns out that a major cause of this is the needless include of
linux/hardirq.h into asm-generic/local.h.  The patch below removes this
include, resulting in some 250 to 300 files (around half) of the kernel
then omitting asm/irq.h.

My test builds still succeed, provided two ARM files are fixed
(arch/arm/kernel/traps.c and arch/arm/mm/fault.c) - so there may be
negative impacts for this on other architectures.

Note that x86 does not include asm/irq.h nor linux/hardirq.h in its
asm/local.h, so this patch can be viewed as bringing the generic version
into line with the x86 version.

While updating the rcu code, I noticed that do_nmi() for AVR32 is odd:
There is an nmi_enter() call without an nmi_exit().

Hans-Christian Egtvedt 73d4393d1d avr32: fix sys_sync_file_range() call convention
On AVR32, all parameters beyond the 5th are passed on the stack. System
calls don't use the stack -- they borrow a callee-saved register
instead. This means that syscalls that take 6 parameters must be called
through a stub that pushes the last parameter on the stack.

This patch adds a stub for sync_file_range syscall on AVR32
architecture.  Tested with uClibc snapshot.

Haavard Skinnemoen 9e3f544d79 avr32: Fix lockup after Java stack underflow in user mode
When using the Java Extension Module hardware, a Java stack underflow or
overflow trap may cause the system to enter an infinite exception loop.
Although there's no kernel support for the Java hardware yet, we need to
be able to recover from this situation and keep the system running.

This patch adds code to detect and fixup this situation in the critical
exception handler and terminate the faulting process. We may have to
rethink how to handle this more gracefully when the necessary kernel
support for hardware-accelerated Java is added.

Andi Kleen 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.

Thomas Gleixner 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.

Haavard Skinnemoen a9a934f278 avr32: Cover the kernel page tables in the user PGDs
Expand the per-process PGDs so that they cover the kernel virtual
memory area as well. This simplifies the TLB miss handler fastpath
since it doesn't have to check for kernel addresses anymore.

If a TLB miss happens on a kernel address and a second-level page
table can't be found, we check swapper_pg_dir and copy the PGD entry
into the user PGD if it can be found there.

Instead of storing physical addresses along with page flags in the

second-level page table. A non-page-aligned page table indicates a bad
PMD.

This simplifies the TLB miss handler since it no longer has to check
the Present bit and no longer has to convert the PGD entry from
physical to virtual address. Instead, it has to check for a NULL
entry, which is slightly cheaper than either.

Martin Koegler 7c1b90a1e9 avr32: Fix sigaltstack behaviour
A signal handler should be able to change the signal stack used for the
next signal by altering the ucontext_t passed as a parameter to the
handler. This does not currently work on avr32 since it doesn't update
the in-kernel signal context from the ucontext_t upon signal handler
return.

Fix it by adding a call to do_sigaltstack() from sys_rt_sigreturn(),

Ulrich Drepper d35c7b0e54 unified (weak) sys_pipe implementation
This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
one unified implementation.  This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
code.

It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)

I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
isn't needed.  The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
no obstacles.

Haavard Skinnemoen 01d3a5e7fa atmel_lcdfb: don't initialize a pre-allocated framebuffer
If the user specified a fixed framebuffer address on the command line, it may
have been initialized already with a splash image or something, so we
shouldn't clear it.

Therefore, we should only initialize the framebuffer if we allocated it
ourselves.  This patch also updates the AVR32 setup code to clear the
framebuffer if it allocated it itself, i.e.  the user didn't provide a fixed
address or the reservation failed.

I've updated the at91 platform code as well so that it initializes the
framebuffer if it is located in SRAM, but I haven't tested that it actually
works.

David Brownell e723ff666a avr32: Generic clockevents support
This combines three patches from David Brownell:
  * avr32: tclib support
  * avr32: simplify clocksources
  * avr32: Turn count/compare into a oneshot clockevent device

Register both TC blocks (instead of just the first one) so that
the AT32/AT91 tclib code will pick them up (instead of just the
avr32-only PIT-style clocksource).

Rename the first one and its resources appropriately.

More cleanups to the cycle counter clocksource code

 - Disable all the weak symbol magic; remove the AVR32-only TCB-based
   clocksource code (source and header).

 - Mark the __init code properly.

 - Don't forget to report IRQF_TIMER.

 - Make the system work properly with this clocksource, by preventing
   use of the CPU "idle" sleep state in the idle loop when it's used.

Package the avr32 count/compare timekeeping support as a oneshot
clockevent device, so it supports NO_HZ and high res timers.
This means it also supports plugging in other clockevent devices
and clocksources.

and move towards TCB-based clockevent support (including high
resolution timers) that's shared between AT91 and AVR32.

Matthew Wilcox 64ac24e738 Generic semaphore implementation
Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility.  Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning.  Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.

Haavard Skinnemoen a2a3952561 avr32: Fix bug in early resource allocation code
add_reserved_region() tries to keep the resource list sorted, so when
looking for a place to insert the new resource, it may break out
before the last entry.

When this happens, the list is broken in two because the sibling field
of the new entry doesn't point to the next resource. Fix it by
updating the new resource's sibling field appropriately.

Haavard Skinnemoen 325d6f5593 avr32: Fix OCD refcounting bug
Iff the parent has TIF_DEBUG set, _and_ clone_flags includes
CLONE_PTRACE we should set the TIF_DEBUG flag for the child and
increment the ocd refcount. Otherwise, the TIF_DEBUG flag must be
unset.

Currently, the child inherits TIF_DEBUG from the parent before
copy_thread is called, so TIF_DEBUG may be already be set before we
determine whether the child is supposed to inherit debugging
capabilities from the parent or not. This means that ocd_enable()
won't increment the refcount, because TIF_DEBUG is already set, and
that TIF_DEBUG will be set for processes that aren't being debugged.

This leads to a refcounting asymmetry, which may show up as

------------[ cut here ]------------
Badness at arch/avr32/kernel/ocd.c:73
PC is at ocd_disable+0x34/0x60
LR is at put_lock_stats+0xa/0x20

as reported by David Brownell. Happens when strace'ing a process that
forks a new child process, e.g. "strace mount -tjffs2 mtd1 /mnt", and
subsequently killing the child process (e.g. "umount /mnt".)

Haavard Skinnemoen d45ad06273 avr32: Call tick_nohz_{stop,restart}_sched_tick() in idle loop
This fixes a hang on boot with nohz enabled. nohz is not actually
supported in mainline yet, but patches that add support for it are
currently under review.

When nohz is compiled out, the functions are no-ops, so this patch
results in no functional change, but it arguably makes the code more
correct.

Christoph Hellwig 8b88b0998e libfs: allow error return from simple attributes
Sometimes simple attributes might need to return an error, e.g. for
acquiring a mutex interruptibly.  In fact we have that situation in
spufs already which is the original user of the simple attributes.  This
patch merged the temporarily forked attributes in spufs back into the
main ones and allows to return errors.

Bernhard Walle 72a7fe3967 Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.

This patch:

Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.

Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().
