Christoph Lameter b718f91c14 [IA64] ITC: Reduce rating for ITC clock if ITCs are drifty
Make sure to reduce the rating of the ITC clock if ITCs are drifty. If they
are drifting then we have not synchronized the ITC values, nor are we doing
the jitter compensation (useless since drift may increase the differentials
arbitrarily).

Without this patch it is possible that the ITC clock becomes selected as
the system clock on systems with drifty ITCs which will result in
nanosleep hanging.

One can still select the itc clock manually on such systems via

clocksource=itc

(Produces nice hangs on SGI Altix.)

Christoph Lameter 40d4857534 [IA64] SN2: Fix up sn2_rtc clock
If the sn2_rtc clock is present then it is a must have since sn2_rtc
provides a synchronized time source on Altix systems. So elevate
the priority to 450. Otherwise the ITC would take precendence. Altix
systems currently do not boot because the ITC clocksource is broken. It
seems to assume that ITCs are synchronized and as a result nanosleep
hangs (may be fixed in a different patch).

While we are at it: Remove the sn2_mc definition. The sn2_rtc has a fixed
address. No point in reading the address from memory. Removing it avoids
touching one cacheline.

Kenji Kaneshige 216fcd29af [IA64] Fix possible race in destroy_and_reserve_irq()
Currently, destroy_and_reserve_irq() sets irq_status[irq] UNUSED using
clear_irq_vector() and sets irq_status[irq] RSVD using reserve_irq().
But there is a race window because vector_lock is once released between
them. This patch fixes this race window.

Kenji Kaneshige c4c376f7e1 [IA64] Fix registered interrupt check
Fix the problem that interrupts are not initialized correctly at PCI
hotplug or driver reloading time.

By vector domain change, the iosapic_rte_info structure was changed to
be on the iosapic_intr_info[irq].rtes list even after the interrupts
are unregistered. So iosapic_intr_info[irq].rtes list must not be
checked to see if there are registered interrupts (RTEs) on the
irq. We must check iosapic_intr_info[irq].count counter instead.

Alexey Dobriyan 4e950f6f01 Remove fs.h from mm.h
Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
 1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
 2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.

As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

u32* volatile cyclone_timer means volatile auto pointer to u32,
which is clearly not what had been intended (we never even take
the address of that variable, let alone pass it to something that

authors apparently wanted to say, but in reality we don't need that
qualifier there at all - it's (properly) only passed to iomem helpers
which takes care of that stuff just fine.

Paul Mundt 20c2df83d2 mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

I did it on purpose (and gave the warning a miss...) and I consider
iosapic_free_rte() is no longer needed.

I decided to remain iosapic_rte_info to keep gsi-to-irq binding
after device disable. Indeed it needs some extra memory, but it
is only "sizeof(iosapic_rte_info) * <the number of removed devices>"
bytes and has no memory leak becasue re-enabled devices use the
iosapic_rte_info which they used before disabling.

Ollie Wild b6a2fea393 mm: variable length argument support
Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.

We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space.  Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.

It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.

Fenghua Yu f34e3b61f2 use the new percpu interface for shared data
Currently most of the per cpu data, which is accessed by different cpus,
has a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute.  Move all this data to the
new per cpu shared data section: .data.percpu.shared_aligned.

This will seperate the percpu data which is referenced frequently by other
cpus from the local only percpu data.

Fenghua Yu 5fb7dc37dc define new percpu interface for shared data
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.

Michael Ellerman 3d7e33825d jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for users
I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that
doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use.  This guy I know once
wrote code like this:

struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };

And then his kernel exploded. Oops.

This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.

We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

Mel Gorman ed7ed36517 handle kernelcore=: generic
This patch adds the kernelcore= parameter for x86.

Once all patches are applied, a new command-line parameter exist and a new
sysctl.  This patch adds the necessary documentation.

From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com>

  When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64
  because of an infinite loop.  In addition, the parsing code can be handled
  in an architecture-independent manner.

  This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter.  It is
  only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing
  (i.e.  define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP).  Other architectures will
  ignore the boot parameter.
