Geert Uytterhoeven 5b808a5935 m68k: kill page walker compile warning
The recently introduced page walker (walk_page_range()) calls pgd_offset with a
const struct mm_struct pointer, causing the following compile warning on m68k:

    mm/pagewalk.c:111: warning: passing argument 1 of 'pgd_offset' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Make the `mm' parameter of the inline function pgd_offset() const to shut it
up.

Mathieu Desnoyers 80af4eeb72 Add cmpxchg_local to sparc64
Use cmpxchg_u32 and cmpxchg_u64 for cmpxchg_local and cmpxchg64_local. For other
type sizes, use the new generic cmpxchg_local (disables interrupt).

Change:
Since the header depends on local_irqsave/local_irqrestore, it must be
included after their declaration.

Actually, being below the
#include <linux/irqflags.h> should be enough, and on sparc64 it is
included at the beginning of system.h.

So it makes sense to move it up for sparc64.

Mathieu Desnoyers 4b78fff6e7 Add cmpxchg_local, cmpxchg64 and cmpxchg64_local to ia64
Add the primitives cmpxchg_local, cmpxchg64 and cmpxchg64_local to ia64. They
use cmpxchg_acq as underlying macro, just like the already existing ia64
cmpxchg().

Changelog:

ia64 cmpxchg_local coding style fix
Quoting Keith Owens:

As a matter of coding style, I prefer

#define cmpxchg_local   cmpxchg
#define cmpxchg64_local cmpxchg64

Which makes it absolutely clear that they are the same code.  With your
patch, humans have to do a string compare of two defines to see if they
are the same.

Note cmpxchg is *not* a performance win vs interrupt disable / enable on IA64.

Mathieu Desnoyers 068fbad288 Add cmpxchg_local to asm-generic for per cpu atomic operations
Emulates the cmpxchg_local by disabling interrupts around variable modification.
This is not reentrant wrt NMIs and MCEs. It is only protected against normal
interrupts, but this is enough for architectures without such interrupt sources
or if used in a context where the data is not shared with such handlers.

It can be used as a fallback for architectures lacking a real cmpxchg
instruction.

For architectures that have a real cmpxchg but does not have NMIs or MCE,
testing which of the generic vs architecture specific cmpxchg is the fastest
should be done.

asm-generic/cmpxchg.h defines a cmpxchg that uses cmpxchg_local. It is meant to
be used as a cmpxchg fallback for architectures that do not support SMP.

* Patch series comments

Using cmpxchg_local shows a performance improvements of the fast path goes from
a 66% speedup on a Pentium 4 to a 14% speedup on AMD64.

H. Peter Anvin 6e16d89bcd Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0
struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.

Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

David Howells 12debc4248 iget: remove iget() and the read_inode() super op as being obsolete
Remove the old iget() call and the read_inode() superblock operation it uses
as these are really obsolete, and the use of read_inode() does not produce
proper error handling (no distinction between ENOMEM and EIO when marking an
inode bad).

Furthermore, this removes the temptation to use iget() to find an inode by
number in a filesystem from code outside that filesystem.

iget_locked() should be used instead.  A new function is added in an earlier
patch (iget_failed) that is to be called to mark an inode as bad, unlock it
and release it should the get routine fail.  Mark iget() and read_inode() as
being obsolete and remove references to them from the documentation.

Typically a filesystem will be modified such that the read_inode function
becomes an internal iget function, for example the following:

	void thingyfs_read_inode(struct inode *inode)
	{
		...
	}

would be changed into something like:

	struct inode *thingyfs_iget(struct super_block *sp, unsigned long ino)
	{
		struct inode *inode;
		int ret;

		inode = iget_locked(sb, ino);
		if (!inode)
			return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
		if (!(inode->i_state & I_NEW))
			return inode;

		...
		unlock_new_inode(inode);
		return inode;
	error:
		iget_failed(inode);
		return ERR_PTR(ret);
	}

and then thingyfs_iget() would be called rather than iget(), for example:

	ret = -EINVAL;
	inode = iget(sb, ino);
	if (!inode || is_bad_inode(inode))
		goto error;

becomes:

	inode = thingyfs_iget(sb, ino);
	if (IS_ERR(inode)) {
		ret = PTR_ERR(inode);
		goto error;
	}

Note that is_bad_inode() does not need to be called.  The error returned by
thingyfs_iget() should render it unnecessary.

David Howells d1bc8e9544 Add an ERR_CAST() function to complement ERR_PTR and co.
Add an ERR_CAST() function to complement ERR_PTR and co.  for the purposes
of casting an error entyped as one pointer type to an error of another
pointer type whilst making it explicit as to what is going on.

This provides a replacement for the ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) construct.
