Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.
Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.
To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().
If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().
Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:
- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:
- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.
There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.
Split this function into:
- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.
- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).
To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().
This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.

This patch implements a workaround for PL310 erratum 769419. On
revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does not
automatically drain. This can cause normal, non-cacheable writes to be
retained when the memory system is idle, leading to suboptimal I/O
performance for drivers using coherent DMA.
This patch adds an optional wmb() call to the cpu_idle loop. On systems
with an outer cache, this causes an explicit flush of the store buffer.

We only need to set the system up for a soft-restart if we're going to
be doing a soft-restart. Provide a new function (soft_restart()) which
does the setup and final call for this, and make platforms use it.
Eliminate the call to setup_restart() from the default handler.
This means that platforms arch_reset() function is no longer called with
the page tables prepared for a soft-restart, and caches will still be
enabled.

Many of the core ARM kernel files are not modules, but just
including module.h for exporting symbols. Now these files can
use the lighter footprint export.h for this role.
There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-*
don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build. They will have
to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

The kernel makes the high vector page visible to user space. This page
contains (amongst others) small code segments that can be executed in
user space. Make this page visible through ptrace and /proc/<pid>/mem
in order to let gdb perform code parsing needed for proper unwinding.
For example, the ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK handler actually has a stack
frame -- it returns to a PC value stored on the user's stack. To
unwind after a "sleep" system call was interrupted twice, GDB would
have to recognize this situation and understand that stack frame
layout -- which it currently cannot do.
We could fix this by hard-coding addresses in the vector page range into
GDB, but that isn't really portable as not all of those addresses are
guaranteed to remain stable across kernel releases. And having the gdb
process make an exception for this page and get content from its own
address space for it looks strange, and it is not future proof either.
Being located above PAGE_OFFSET, this vma cannot be deleted by
user space code.

x86 calls machine_shutdown() from the various machine_*() calls which
take the machine down ready for halting, restarting, etc, and uses
this to bring the system safely to a point where those actions can be
performed. Such actions are stopping the secondary CPUs.
So, change the ARM implementation of these to reflect what x86 does.
This solves kexec problems on ARM SMP platforms, where the secondary
CPUs were left running across the kexec call.

All implementations of cpu_proc_fin() start by disabling interrupts
and then flush caches. Rather than have every processors proc_fin()
implementation do this, move it out into generic code - and move the
cache flush past setup_mm_for_reboot() (so it can benefit from having
caches still enabled.)
This allows cpu_proc_fin() to become independent of the L1/L2 cache
types, and eventually move the L2 cache flushing into the L2 support
code.

Fix this by ensuring that the lockdep interrupt state is manipulated in
the appropriate places. We essentially treat userspace as an entirely
separate environment which isn't relevant to lockdep (lockdep doesn't
monitor userspace.) We don't tell lockdep that IRQs will be enabled
in that environment.
Instead, when creating kernel threads (which is a rare event compared
to entering/leaving userspace) we have to update the lockdep state. Do
this by starting threads with IRQs disabled, and in the kthread helper,
tell lockdep that IRQs are enabled, and enable them.
This provides lockdep with a consistent view of the current IRQ state
in kernel space.
This also revert portions of 0d928b0b616d1c5c5fe76019a87cba171ca91633

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

OMAP wishes to pass state to the boot loader upon reboot in order to

already a facility to do this via the reboot() syscall, except we ignore
the string passed to machine_restart().
This patch fixes things to pass this string to arch_reset(). This means
that we keep the reboot mode limited to telling the kernel _how_ to
perform the reboot which should be independent of what we request the

Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:
scheduler switch to idle task
enable interrupts
Window starts here
----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
irq_exit() stops the tick
----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
return from schedule()
cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
Window ends here
The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.
The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
cpu_idle()
{
preempt_disable();
while(1) {
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
are in the idle loop
while (!need_resched())
halt();
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
preempt_enable_no_resched();
schedule();
preempt_disable();
}
}
In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ...
/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

dyntick is superseded by the clocksource/clockevent infrastructure,
using the NO_HZ configuration option. No one implements dyntick on
ARM anymore, so it's pointless keeping it around. Remove dyntick
support.

Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.
To make this work, this patch also does the following:
(1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.
(2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
core dumping code.
(3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This
is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch
code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
the core kernel.
(4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
needed) and FRV.
This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log.
There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes
so for arch/xxx files.
It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the
printks in arch code.

The ARM show_regs() tombstone only partially decodes which ARM ISA was
executing at the time a fault occurred displaying either "(T)" for the
Thumb case or nothing at all for other cases. This patch therefore
explicitly identifies which state the processor is in at the time of
a fault: ARM, Thumb, Jazelle or JazelleEE.

Add the kernel release and version information to the output of
show_regs/oops. Add the CPU PSR register. Avoid using printk
to output partial lines; always output a complete line.
Re-combine the "Control" and "Table + DAC" lines after nommu
separated them; we don't want to waste vertical screen space
needlessly.
