Michal Simek a6475c1322 microblaze: Enable PCI, missing files
There are two parts of changes. The first is just enable
PCI in Makefiles and in Kconfig. The second is the rest of
missing files. I didn't want to add it with previous patch
because that patch is too big.

Current Microblaze toolchain has problem with weak symbols
that's why is necessary to apply this changes to be possible
to compile pci support.
Xilinx knows about this problem.

Michal Simek ccfe27d700 microblaze: Support DMA
Add DMA support for Microblaze. There are some part of this new feature:
1. Basic DMA support
2. Enable DMA debug option
3. Setup notifier

Ad 1. dma-mapping come from powerpc and x86 version and it is based on
generic dma-mapping-common.h

Ad 2. DMA support debug features which is used in generic file.
For more information please look at Documentation/DMA-API.txt

Ad 3. notifier is very important to setup dma_ops. Without this part
for example ll_temac driver failed because there are no setup dma operations.

Russell King 4b3073e1c5 MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself
On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
copies.  We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
uncacheable.

This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
for modification via update_mmu_cache().

Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
update_mmu_cache():

  On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
  to construct a pointer to the pte again.  Passing a pte_t * is much
  more elegant.  Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
  pte_t?

Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:

  Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want.  I want that
  -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
  for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
  _PAGE_EXEC.

So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
suit.

Includes a fix from Stephen Rothwell:

Michal Simek 7d241ff056 microblaze: ftrace: Add dynamic trace support
With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action. When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.

Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).

In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl.

For more information please look at code and Documentation/trace folder.

Steven ACK that scripts/recordmcount.pl part.

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.

This patch add the specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.

Michal Simek bf2d809668 microblaze: Lockdep support
Microblaze needs to do lock_init very soon because MMU init calls lock functions.

Here is the explanation from Peter Zijlstra why we have to enable
__ARCH_WANTS_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTSW.

"So we schedule while holding rq->lock (for obvious reasons), but since
lockdep tracks held locks per tasks, we need to transfer the held state
from the prev to the next task. We do this by explicity calling
spin_release(&rq->lock) in context_switch() right before switch_to(),
and calling spin_acquire(&rq->lock) in
finish_task_switch()->finish_lock_switch().

Now, for some reason lockdep thinks that interrupts got enabled over the
context switch (git grep __ARCH_WANTS_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTSW arch/microblaze
doesn't seem to turn up anything).

Clearly trying to acquire the rq->lock with interrupts enabled is a bad
idea and lockdep warns you about this."

Ilya Loginov 2d4dc890b5 block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.
