Linus Torvalds b8e6ec865f Revert "[PATCH] Enforce "unsigned long flags;" when spinlocking"
This reverts commit ee3ce191e8, since it
broke on at least ARM, MIPS and PA-RISC due to complicated header file
dependencies.

Conflicts in include/linux/spinlock.h (due to the "nested" variety
fixes) fixed up by hand.

Alexey Dobriyan ee3ce191e8 [PATCH] Enforce "unsigned long flags;" when spinlocking
Make it break or warn if you pass to spin_lock_irqsave() and friends
something different from "unsigned long flags;".  Suprisingly large amount
of these was caught by recent commit
c53421b18f and others.

Idea is largely from FRV typechecking. Suggestions from Andrew Morton.
All stupid typos in first version fixed.

Passes allmodconfig on i386, x86_64, alpha, arm as well as my usual config.

Note #1: checking with sparse is still needed, because a driver can save
	 and pass around flags or something. So far patch is very intrusive.
Note #2: techically, we should break only if
		sizeof(flags) < sizeof(unsigned long),
	 however, the more pain for getting suspicious code into kernel,
	 the better.

Ingo Molnar de30a2b355 [PATCH] lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, core
Accurate hard-IRQ-flags and softirq-flags state tracing.

This allows us to attach extra functionality to IRQ flags on/off
events (such as trace-on/off).
