per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
is fixed.
* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
trailing '\0'. Fix it.

The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():
[<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8)

Kudos to Thibaut Varene for spotting the (mis)use of appropriately named
global_ack_eiem. This took a long time to figure out and both insight
from myself, Kyle McMartin, and James Bottomley were required to narrow
down which bit of code could have this race condition.
The symptom was interrupts stopped getting delivered while some workload
was generating IO interrupts on two different CPUs. One of the interrupt
sources would get masked off and stay unmasked. Problem was global_ack_eiem
was accessed with read/modified/write sequence and not protected by
a spinlock.
PA-RISC doesn't need a global ack flag though. External Interrupts
are _always_ delivered to a single CPU (except for "global broadcast
interrupt" which AFAIK currently is not used.) So we don't have to worry
about any given IRQ vector getting delivered to more than one CPU.
Tested on a500 and rp34xx boxen. rsync to/from gsyprf11 (a500)
would lock up the box since NIC (tg3) interrupt and SCSI (sym2)
were on "opposite" CPUs (2 CPU system). Put them on the same CPU
or apply this patch and 10GB of data would rsync completely.
Please apply the following critical patch.
thanks,
grant

The bug was that we were comparing __NR_syscalls to be greater or equal
to the syscall number stored in %r20. __NR_syscalls is one greater than
the last syscall though, so we're loading one entry beyond the end of the
syscall table, and trying to jump to it.
Fix this by only checking that we're greater, alternatively, we could
have compared to (__NR_Linux_syscalls - 1)

mm/slab: fix section mismatch warning
mm: fix section mismatch warnings
init/main: use __init_refok to fix section mismatch
kbuild: introduce __init_refok/__initdata_refok to supress section mismatch warnings
all-archs: consolidate .data section definition in asm-generic

kbuild: add "Section mismatch" warning whitelist for powerpc
kbuild: make better section mismatch reports on i386, arm and mips
kbuild: make modpost section warnings clearer
kconfig: search harder for curses library in check-lxdialog.sh
kbuild: include limits.h in sumversion.c for PATH_MAX
powerpc: Fix the MODALIAS generation in modpost for of devices
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%).

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.
