Jeff Garzik a6d967a485 [libata] No need for all those arch libata-portmap.h headers
They all contain the same thing.  Instead, have a single generic one in
include/asm-generic, and permit an arch to override as needed.

Kirill Korotaev 3a45975681 [PATCH] IA64,sparc: local DoS with corrupted ELFs
This prevents cross-region mappings on IA64 and SPARC which could lead
to system crash.  They were correctly trapped for normal mmap() calls,
but not for the kernel internal calls generated by executable loading.

This code just moves the architecture-specific cross-region checks into
an arch-specific "arch_mmap_check()" macro, and defines that for the
architectures that needed it (ia64, sparc and sparc64).

Architectures that don't have any special requirements can just ignore
the new cross-region check, since the mmap() code will just notice on
its own when the macro isn't defined.

Alan Cox 2ec7df0457 [PATCH] libata: rework legacy handling to remove much of the cruft
Kill host_set->next
Fix simplex support
Allow per platform setting of IDE legacy bases

Some of this can be tidied further later on, in particular all the
legacy port gunge belongs as a PCI quirk/PCI header decode to understand
the special legacy IDE rules in the PCI spec.

Longer term Jeff also wants to move the request_irq/free_irq out of core
which will make this even cleaner.

tj: folded in three followup patches - ata_piix-fix, broken-arch-fix
and fix-new-legacy-handling, and separated per-dev xfermask into
separate patch preceding this one.  Folded in fixes are...

* ata_piix-fix: fix build failure due to host_set->next removal
* broken-arch-fix: add missing include/asm-*/libata-portmap.h
* fix-new-legacy-handling:
	* In ata_pci_init_legacy_port(), probe_num was incorrectly
          incremented during initialization of the secondary port and
          probe_ent->n_ports was incorrectly fixed to 1.

	* Both legacy ports ended up having the same hard_port_no.

	* When printing port information, both legacy ports printed
	  the first irq.

Dean Nelson 7682a4c624 [IA64-SGI] Silent data corruption caused by XPC V2.
Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent
data corruption.  On module load, the placement may cause the
xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages.  DMA transfers are
done to the start virtual address translated to physical.

This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a
kmalloc'd buffer.  Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting.  I have
tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption
and verified it works.  I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch
this if a similar situation is encountered.

while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead.  But this is
still moot since it is not used anyway.

Lennert Buytenhek 06c67befee [PATCH] make valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() take a pfn
Newer ARMs have a 40 bit physical address space, but mapping physical
memory above 4G needs a special page table format which we (currently?) do
not use for userspace mappings, so what happens instead is that mapping an
address >= 4G will happily discard the upper bits and wrap.

There is a valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() arch hook where we could check for
>= 4G addresses and deny the mapping, but this hook takes an unsigned long
address:

	static inline int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t size);

And drivers/char/mem.c:mmap_mem() calls it like this:

	static int mmap_mem(struct file * file, struct vm_area_struct * vma)
	{
		size_t size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;

		if (!valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT, size))

So that's not much help either.

This patch makes the hook take a pfn instead of a phys address.

Catherine Zhang 877ce7c1b3 [AF_UNIX]: Datagram getpeersec
This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the
label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of
recvmsg.

Patch purpose:

This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket.  The application
can then use this security context to determine the security context for
processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet.

Patch design and implementation:

The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET
sockets.  Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
retrieving user credentials.  Linux offers the API for obtaining user
credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
that are bundled together with a normal message).  To retrieve the security
context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by
setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt.  Then the application
retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism.

An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this:

toggle = 1;
toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);

setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
    cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
    if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
        cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET &&
        cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
        memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
    }
}

sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow
a server socket to receive security context of the peer.

Testing:

We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server
applications.  We verified that the server can retrieve the security context
using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

Yasunori Goto 7049027c6f [PATCH] pgdat allocation and update for ia64 of memory hotplug: update pgdat address array
This is to refresh node_data[] array for ia64.  As I mentioned previous
patches, ia64 has copies of information of pgdat address array on each node as
per node data.

At v2 of node_add, this function used stop_machine_run() to update them.  (I
wished that they were copied safety as much as possible.) But, in this patch,
this arrays are just copied simply, and set node_online_map bit after
completion of pgdat initialization.

So, kernel must touch NODE_DATA() macro after checking node_online_map().
(Current code has already done it.) This is more simple way for just
hot-add.....

Note : It will be problem when hot-remove will occur,
       because, even if online_map bit is set, kernel may
       touch NODE_DATA() due to race condition. :-(

Andi Kleen 495ab9c045 [PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status
During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.

Converted i386/x86-64/ia64 for now because that was the easiest
way to fix ACPI which also manipulates these flags in its idle
function.

Paul Mackerras bfe5d83419 [PATCH] Define __raw_get_cpu_var and use it
There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which
is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning
that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled.  For
those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64,
powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower
code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var
on those platforms.

This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x,
raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu
implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that
have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

Christoph Lameter 742755a1d8 [PATCH] page migration: sys_move_pages(): support moving of individual pages
move_pages() is used to move individual pages of a process. The function can
be used to determine the location of pages and to move them onto the desired
node. move_pages() returns status information for each page.

long move_pages(pid, number_of_pages_to_move,
		addresses_of_pages[],
		nodes[] or NULL,
		status[],
		flags);

The addresses of pages is an array of void * pointing to the
pages to be moved.

The nodes array contains the node numbers that the pages should be moved
to. If a NULL is passed instead of an array then no pages are moved but
the status array is updated. The status request may be used to determine
the page state before issuing another move_pages() to move pages.

The status array will contain the state of all individual page migration
attempts when the function terminates. The status array is only valid if
move_pages() completed successfullly.

Possible page states in status[]:

0..MAX_NUMNODES	The page is now on the indicated node.

-ENOENT		Page is not present

-EACCES		Page is mapped by multiple processes and can only
		be moved if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified.

-EPERM		The page has been mlocked by a process/driver and
		cannot be moved.

-EBUSY		Page is busy and cannot be moved. Try again later.

-EFAULT		Invalid address (no VMA or zero page).

-ENOMEM		Unable to allocate memory on target node.

-EIO		Unable to write back page. The page must be written
		back in order to move it since the page is dirty and the
		filesystem does not provide a migration function that
		would allow the moving of dirty pages.

-EINVAL		A dirty page cannot be moved. The filesystem does not provide
		a migration function and has no ability to write back pages.

The flags parameter indicates what types of pages to move:

MPOL_MF_MOVE	Move pages that are only mapped by the process.

MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL Also move pages that are mapped by multiple processes.
		Requires sufficient capabilities.

Possible return codes from move_pages()

-ENOENT		No pages found that would require moving. All pages
		are either already on the target node, not present, had an
		invalid address or could not be moved because they were
		mapped by multiple processes.

-EINVAL		Flags other than MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) specified or an attempt
		to migrate pages in a kernel thread.

-EPERM		MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL specified without sufficient priviledges.
		or an attempt to move a process belonging to another user.

-EACCES		One of the target nodes is not allowed by the current cpuset.

-ENODEV		One of the target nodes is not online.

-ESRCH		Process does not exist.

-E2BIG		Too many pages to move.

-ENOMEM		Not enough memory to allocate control array.

-EFAULT		Parameters could not be accessed.

A test program for move_pages() may be found with the patches
on ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/pmig/patches-2.6.17-rc4-mm3

From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>

  Detailed results for sys_move_pages()

  Pass a pointer to an integer to get_new_page() that may be used to
  indicate where the completion status of a migration operation should be
  placed.  This allows sys_move_pags() to report back exactly what happened to
  each page.

  Wish there would be a better way to do this. Looks a bit hacky.

Bjorn Helgaas 4f1bcaf094 [PATCH] vgacon: make VGA_MAP_MEM take size, remove extra use
VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures.  It makes sense
to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to access memory between
vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end.

But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end, because
we aren't going to access memory starting there.  On ia64, which always has
to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives you something completely
incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start, so vga_vram_size ends up being
nonsense.

As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap()
correctly, rather than giving it a zero size.

David Mosberger-Tang 2ab561a116 [IA64] esi-support
Add support for making ESI calls [1].  ESI stands for "Extensible SAL
specification" and is basically a way for invoking firmware
subroutines which are identified by a GUID.  I don't know whether ESI
is used by vendors other than HP (if you do, please let me know) but
as firmware "backdoors" go, this seems one of the cleaner methods, so
it seems reasonable to support it, even though I'm not aware of any
publicly documented ESI calls.  I'd have liked to make the ESI module
completely stand-alone, but unfortunately that is not easily (or not
at all) possible because in order to make ESI calls in physical mode,
a small stub similar to the EFI stub is needed in the kernel proper.
I did try to create a stub that would work in user-level, but it
quickly got ugly beyond recognition (e.g., the stub had to make
assumptions about how the module-loader generated call-stubs work) and
I didn't even get it to work (that's probably fixable, but I didn't
bother because I concluded it was too ugly anyhow).  While it's not
terribly elegant to have kernel code which isn't actively used in the
kernel proper, I think it might be worth making an exception here for
two reasons: the code is trivially small (all that's really needed is
esi_stub.S) and by including it in the normal kernel distro, it might
encourage other OEMs to also use ESI, which I think would be far
better than each inventing their own firmware "backdoor".

The code was originally written by Alex.  I just massaged and packaged
it a bit (and perhaps messed up some things along the way...).

Changes since first version of patch that was posted to mailing list:
* Export ia64_esi_call and ia64_esi_call_phys() as GPL symbols.
* Disallow building esi.c as a module for now.  Building as a module
  would currently lead to an unresolved reference to "sal_lock" on SMP kernels
  because that symbol doesn't get exported.
* Export esi_call_phys() only if ESI is enabled.
* Remove internal stuff from esi.h and add a "proc_type" argument to
  ia64_esi_call() such that serialization-requirements can be expressed (ESI
  follows SAL here, where procedure calls may have to be serialized, are
  MP-safe, or MP-safe andr reentrant).

Bjorn Helgaas 32e62c636a [IA64] rework memory attribute aliasing
This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme:

  - The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because
    they don't appear in the EFI memory map.  This keeps X from working
    on the Intel Tiger box.

  - The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of
    /sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC
    access.  This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620
    boxes in the default configuration.

There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this
adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by
a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or
mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping.

Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported
according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory
map doesn't mention the region.

Cliff Wickman 1df57c0c21 [IA64] enable dumps to capture second page of kernel stack
In SLES10 (2.6.16) crash dumping (in my experience, LKCD) is unable to
capture the second page of the 2-page task/stack allocation.
This is particularly troublesome for dump analysis, as the stack traceback
cannot be done.
  (A similar convention is probably needed throughout the kernel to make
   kernel multi-page allocations detectable for dumping)

Multi-page kernel allocations are represented by the single page structure
associated with the first page of the allocation.  The page structures
associated with the other pages are unintialized.

If the dumper is selecting only kernel pages it has no way to identify
any but the first page of the allocation.

The fix is to make the task/stack allocation a compound page.

Zone reclaim is important for system that have higher latencies but not for

Yasunori Goto c80d79d746 [PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFT
Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
each arch.  Its definition is sometimes configurable.  Indeed, ia64 defines 5
NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree.  But it looks a bit messy.

SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
been changeable by config.  Suitable node's number may be changed in the
future even if it is other architecture.  So, I wrote configurable node's
number.

This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
nodes except ia64.  But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.

On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
config.  But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too.  So, I
changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT.  It
would be simpler.

area and in the monarch_cpu flag.  Kernel debuggers (such as KDB) need
this data, and may need to adjust the monarch_cpu field so make the
data available to the notify_die hooks.  Define two more events for
calling the functions on the notify_die chain.

Bjorn Helgaas 2db8d99ffd [IA64] always map VGA framebuffer UC, even if it supports WB
EFI on some machines, e.g., Intel Tiger, reports that the VGA framebuffer
supports WB access.  ioremap() prefers WB when possible, so it can work
when mapping main memory.

But it doesn't make sense to map a framebuffer WB, because the driver
doesn't flush explicitly, so updates won't make it to the device
immediately.

This is due to Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com>.

More extensive fix that adds a "size" argument coming soon.

Jens Axboe 5274f052e7 [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call
This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).

From the splice.c comments:

   "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.

   This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
   an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
   buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.

   The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
   that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.

   Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
   Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
   bugs.

Alan Stern e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

Bjorn Helgaas b2c99e3c70 [PATCH] EFI: keep physical table addresses in efi structure
Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want
physical addresses.  So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep
physical addresses in struct efi.

This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address
on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap()
on a virtual address on ia64.

This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino:
	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2
except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses.

Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000
systems.  That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added
for ia64.

Matt Domsch 3ed3bce846 [PATCH] ia64: use i386 dmi_scan.c
Enable DMI table parsing on ia64.

Andi Kleen has a patch in his x86_64 tree which enables the use of i386
dmi_scan.c on x86_64.  dmi_scan.c functions are being used by the
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c driver for autodetecting the ports or
memory spaces where the IPMI controllers may be found.

This patch adds equivalent changes for ia64 as to what is in the x86_64
tree.  In addition, I reworked the DMI detection, such that on EFI-capable
systems, it uses the efi.smbios pointer to find the table, rather than
brute-force searching from 0xF0000.  On non-EFI systems, it continues the
brute-force search.

My test system, an Intel S870BN4 'Tiger4', aka Dell PowerEdge 7250, with
latest BIOS, does not list the IPMI controller in the ACPI namespace, nor
does it have an ACPI SPMI table.  Also note, currently shipping Dell x8xx
EM64T servers don't have these either, so DMI is the only method for
obtaining the address of the IPMI controller.

Davide Libenzi f348d70a32 [PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notifications
Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
(and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets.  Since the
existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
places where it makes sense.  The same thing was discussed and conceptually
agreed quite some time ago:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116

Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it.  As far
as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is.  The
pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files.  The other attached diff
is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
definition.

There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:

 http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c

It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

Russ Anderson d2a28ad9fa [IA64] MCA recovery: kernel context recovery table
Memory errors encountered by user applications may surface
when the CPU is running in kernel context.  The current code
will not attempt recovery if the MCA surfaces in kernel
context (privilage mode 0).  This patch adds a check for cases
where the user initiated the load that surfaces in kernel
interrupt code.

An example is a user process lauching a load from memory
and the data in memory had bad ECC.  Before the bad data
gets to the CPU register, and interrupt comes in.  The
code jumps to the IVT interrupt entry point and begins
execution in kernel context.  The process of saving the
user registers (SAVE_REST) causes the bad data to be loaded
into a CPU register, triggering the MCA.  The MCA surfaces in
kernel context, even though the load was initiated from
user context.

As suggested by David and Tony, this patch uses an exception
table like approach, puting the tagged recovery addresses in
a searchable table.  One difference from the exception table
is that MCAs do not surface in precise places (such as with
a TLB miss), so instead of tagging specific instructions,
address ranges are registers.  A single macro is used to do
the tagging, with the input parameter being the label
of the starting address and the macro being the ending
address.  This limits clutter in the code.

This patch only tags one spot, the interrupt ivt entry.
Testing showed that spot to be a "heavy hitter" with
MCAs surfacing while saving user registers.  Other spots
can be added as needed by adding a single macro.

Adrian Bunk cdb0452789 [PATCH] kill include/linux/platform.h, default_idle() cleanup
include/linux/platform.h contained nothing that was actually used except
the default_idle() prototype, and is therefore removed by this patch.

This patch does the following with the platform specific default_idle()
functions on different architectures:
- remove the unused function:
  - parisc
  - sparc64
- make the needlessly global function static:
  - arm
  - h8300
  - m68k
  - m68knommu
  - s390
  - v850
  - x86_64
- add a prototype in asm/system.h:
  - cris
  - i386
  - ia64

Nick Piggin 0b2fcfdb8b [PATCH] atomic: add_unless cmpxchg optimise
Without branch hints, the very unlikely chance of the loop repeating due to
cmpxchg failure is unrolled with gcc-4 that I have tested.

Improve this for architectures with a native cas/cmpxchg.  llsc archs
should try to implement this natively.
