Eric Dumazet 04edbdef02 x86: Don't generate cmpxchg8b_emu if CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64=y
Conditionaly compile cmpxchg8b_emu.o and EXPORT_SYMBOL(cmpxchg8b_emu).

This reduces the kernel size a bit.

Arjan van de Ven 79e1dd05d1 x86: Provide an alternative() based cmpxchg64()
cmpxchg64() today generates, to quote Linus, "barf bag" code.

cmpxchg64() is about to get used in the scheduler to fix a bug there,
but it's a prerequisite that cmpxchg64() first be made non-sucking.

This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that
uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on
all modern systems.

Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback
is not SMP safe. (Interested parties with i486 based SMP systems
are welcome to submit fix patches for that.)

Steven Rostedt 606576ce81 ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER
Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling
tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to
FUNCTION_TRACER.  The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE
DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same.

This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

Abhishek Sagar 395a59d0f8 ftrace: store mcount address in rec->ip
Record the address of the mcount call-site. Currently all archs except sparc64
record the address of the instruction following the mcount call-site. Some
general cleanups are entailed. Storing mcount addresses in rec->ip enables
looking them up in the kprobe hash table later on to check if they're kprobe'd.

Ingo Molnar 37135677e6 ftrace: fix mcount export bug
David S. Miller noticed the following bug: the -pg instrumentation
function callback is named differently on each platform. On x86 it
is mcount, on sparc it is _mcount. So the export does not make sense
in kernel/trace/ftrace.c - move it to x86.

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.

Theodore Ts'o 8232fd6252 x86: export the symbol empty_zero_page on the 32-bit x86 architecture
The latest KVM driver wants to use the empty_zero_page symbol, and it's
not exported in 32-bit x86 (although it is exported by x86_64, s390, and
uml architectures).
