The TWD local timers are unable to wake up the CPU when it is placed
into a low power mode, eg. C3. Therefore, we need to adapt things
such that the TWD code can cope with this.
We do this by always providing a broadcast tick function, and marking
the fact that the TWD local timer will stop in low power modes. This
means that when the CPU is placed into a low power mode, the core
timer code marks this fact, and allows an IPI to be given to the core.

All implementations of cpu_proc_fin() start by disabling interrupts
and then flush caches. Rather than have every processors proc_fin()
implementation do this, move it out into generic code - and move the
cache flush past setup_mm_for_reboot() (so it can benefit from having
caches still enabled.)
This allows cpu_proc_fin() to become independent of the L1/L2 cache
types, and eventually move the L2 cache flushing into the L2 support
code.

This changes the TCM handling so that a fixed area is reserved at
0xfffe0000-0xfffeffff for TCM. This areas is used by XScale but
XScale does not have TCM so the mechanisms are mutually exclusive.
This change is needed to make TCM detection more dynamic while
still being able to compile code into it, and is a must for the
unified ARM goals: the current TCM allocation at different places
in memory for each machine would be a nightmare if you want to
compile a single image for more than one machine with TCM so it
has to be nailed down in one place.

Fix this by ensuring that the lockdep interrupt state is manipulated in
the appropriate places. We essentially treat userspace as an entirely
separate environment which isn't relevant to lockdep (lockdep doesn't
monitor userspace.) We don't tell lockdep that IRQs will be enabled
in that environment.
Instead, when creating kernel threads (which is a rare event compared
to entering/leaving userspace) we have to update the lockdep state. Do
this by starting threads with IRQs disabled, and in the kthread helper,
tell lockdep that IRQs are enabled, and enable them.
This provides lockdep with a consistent view of the current IRQ state
in kernel space.
This also revert portions of 0d928b0b61
which didn't fix the problem.

Hardware performance counters on ARM are 32-bits wide but atomic64_t
variables are used to represent counter data in the hw_perf_event structure.
The armpmu_event_update function right-shifts a signed 64-bit delta variable
and adds the result to the event count. This can lead to shifting in sign-bits
if the MSB of the 32-bit counter value is set. This results in perf output
such as:
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 20':

161 page-faults
1172393 branches

This patch ensures that the delta value is treated as unsigned so that the
right shift sets the upper bits to zero.

A new random value for the canary is stored in the task struct whenever
a new task is forked. This is meant to allow for different canary values
per task. On ARM, GCC expects the canary value to be found in a global
variable called __stack_chk_guard. So this variable has to be updated
with the value stored in the task struct whenever a task switch occurs.
Because the variable GCC expects is global, this cannot work on SMP
unfortunately. So, on SMP, the same initial canary value is kept
throughout, making this feature a bit less effective although it is still
useful.
One way to overcome this GCC limitation would be to locate the
__stack_chk_guard variable into a memory page of its own for each CPU,
and then use TLB locking to have each CPU see its own page at the same
virtual address for each of them.

These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an
API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core.
This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the
user level I/O is routed. It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or
to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc
connection.
You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of
operation dynamically. From gdb stub mode you can blindly type
"$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the
gdb stub.
The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb
connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a
gdb serial command sequence is detected. That should allow a
reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the
kernel exception state. The two gdb serial queries that kdb is
responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

The ARM perf-events framework provides support for a number of different
PMUs using struct arm_pmu. The char *name field of this struct can be
used to identify the PMU, but this is cumbersome if used outside of perf.
This patch replaces the name string for a PMU with an enum, which holds
a unique ID for the PMU being represented. This ID can be used to index
an array of names within perf, so no functionality is lost. The presence
of the ID field, allows other kernel subsystems [currently oprofile] to
use their own mappings for the PMU name.

The current PMU infrastructure for ARM requires that the IRQs for the PMU
device are fixed at compile time and are selected based on the ARCH_ or MACH_ flags. This has the disadvantage of tying the Kernel down to a
particular board as far as profiling is concerned.
This patch replaces the compile-time IRQ registration with a runtime mechanism which allows the IRQs to be registered with the framework as
a platform_device.
A further advantage of this change is that there is scope for registering
different types of performance counters in the future by changing the id
of the platform_device and attaching different resources to it.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Current implementation of jprobes allocates empty pt_regs from the

If IRQ balancing is used on a multicore ARM system, PMU interrupt
lines may be relocated onto CPUs other than the one causing the
counter overflow. This can result in misattribution of events to
the wrong core and, in the case that the CPU handling the interrupt
has not experience counter overflow, the interrupt can be disabled
because the handler returns IRQ_NONE.
This patch adds the IRQF_NOBALANCING flag to the request_irq call
in perf_events.c.

Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.
Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't and the single stepping disable only happens if the
tracee process isn't a zombie yet, which is consistent with all
architectures using the modern ptrace code.

Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.
There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.
Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

* 'module' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-for-linus:
modpost: fix segfault with short symbol names
module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
Kbuild: clear marker out of modpost
module: make MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX into a CONFIG option
ARM: unexport symbols used to implement floating point emulation
ARM: use unified discard definition in linker script
x86: don't export inline function
sparc64: don't export static inline pci_ functions
The Kconfigs for in-tree floating point emulation do not allow building
as modules. That leaves the Acorn FPEmulator module. I found two public
releases of this as a binary module for 2.1 and 2.2 kernels, optimized
for ARMV4.[1] If there is a resurgence of interest in this, the symbols
can always be re-exported.
This allows the EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS() hack to be removed. The ulterior
motive here is that EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS() makes it harder to sort the
resulting kernel symbol tables. Sorted symbol tables will allow faster
symbol resolution during module loading.
Note that fp_send_sigs() and fp_printk() are simply aliases for existing
exports and add no obvious value. Similarly fp_enter could easily be
renamed to kern_fp_enter at the point of definition. Therefore removing
EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS will not serve as a material obstacle to re-adding
the exports should they be desired in future.
Build tested only.

Commit 023bf6f "linker script: unify usage of discard definition"
changed the linker scripts for all architectures except for ARM.
I can find no discussion about this ommision, so here are the changes
for ARM.
These changes are exactly parallel to the ia64 case.
"ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion."
Not boot-tested. In build testing, the modified linker script generated
an identical vmlinux file.
[I would like to be able to rely on this unified discard definition.
I want to sort the kernel symbol tables to allow faster symbol
resolution during module loading. The simplest way appears to be
to generate sorted versions from vmlinux.o, link them in to vmlinux,
_and discard the original unsorted tables_.
This work is driven by my x86 netbook, but it is implemented at a
generic level. It is possible it will benefit some ARM systems also.]

This driver implements support for on-chip Embedded Tracing Macrocell and
Embedded Trace Buffer. It allows to trigger tracing of kernel execution flow
and exporting trace output to userspace via character device and a sysrq
combo.
Trace output can then be decoded by a fairly simple open source tool [1]
which is already sufficient to get the idea of what the kernel is doing.

Resolve the conflict between v2.6.32-rc7 where dn_def_dev_handler
gets a small bug fix and the sysctl tree where I am removing all
sysctl strategy routines.
Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys .ctl_name
and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code. Remove them.
Remove a smattering of ctl_names used in sysctl paths,
and kill the ctl_names in the recently added mach-bcmring.
mach-bcmring never should have had sysctl entries with
.ctl_name set. The binary sysctl interface has been frozen
for a long time before that code was merged, to prevent
probmes with conflicts and lack of testing. The sysctl_check
code would have caught this if anyone had ever tested it that way.
So I have simply dropped the binary sysctl support instead of
adding another compat entry into sysctl_binary.c. Going through
/proc/sys/reboot/warm will still work.

The signal restarting code was placed on the user stack when OABI

this results in an attempt to run code from the non-executable stack,
which segfaults the application.
Fix this by placing the code in the vectors page, along side the
signal return code, and directing the application to that code.

Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.
Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.
This takes into account comments made by:
. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.
. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.
If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
one) it has received so far.
. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
in the next call.
This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

Fix:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x247c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_idle() to the function .cpuexit.text:cpu_die()
The function cpu_idle() references a function in an exit section.
Often the function cpu_die() has valid usage outside the exit section
and the fix is to remove the __cpuexit annotation of cpu_die.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuexit.text+0x3c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_die() to the function .cpuinit.text:secondary_start_kernel()
The function __cpuexit cpu_die() references
a function __cpuinit secondary_start_kernel().
This is often seen when error handling in the exit function
uses functionality in the init path.
The fix is often to remove the __cpuinit annotation of
secondary_start_kernel() so it may be used outside an init section.
Sam says:
> The annotation of cpu_die() is wrong.
> To be annotated __cpuexit the function shall:
> - be used in exit context and only in exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=n
> - be used outside exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=y
So, this also means __cpu_disable(), __cpu_die() and twd_timer_stop() are
also wrong. However, removing __cpuexit from cpu_die() creates:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6834): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_die() to the function .cpuinit.text:secondary_start_kernel()
The function cpu_die() references
the function __cpuinit secondary_start_kernel().
This is often because cpu_die lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of secondary_start_kernel is wrong.
so fix this using __ref.

We suffer an unfortunate combination of "features" which makes highmem
support on platforms without hardware TLB maintainence broadcast difficult:
- we need kmap_high_get() support for DMA cache coherence
- this requires kmap_high() to take a spinlock with IRQs disabled
- kmap_high() occasionally calls flush_all_zero_pkmaps() to clear
out old mappings
- flush_all_zero_pkmaps() calls flush_tlb_kernel_range(), which

ARM kprobes use an illegal instruction to trigger kprobes. In the
current implementation, there's a race between the unregistration of a
kprobe and the illegal instruction exception handler if they run at the
same time on different cores.
When reading the value of the undefined instruction, the exception
handler might get the original legal instruction as just patched
concurrently by arch_disarm_kprobe(). When this happen the kprobe
handler won't run, and thus the exception handler will oops because it
believe it just hit an undefined instruction in kernel space.
The following patch synchronizes the code patching in the kprobes
unregistration using stop_machine and thus avoids the above race.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )
