Let the special baudrate processing on the tty layer. Also remove
set/get_special_rate ioctls introduced in commit
f64c84a1668930d1ca2b7dbaa92146c2139cb508, since it is no longer needed.

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.

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.

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.

Measurements on a AMD64 2.0 GHz dual-core
In this test, we seem to remove 10 cycles from the kmalloc fast path.
On small allocations, it gives a 14% performance increase. kfree fast
path also seems to have a 10 cycles improvement.

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.

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.

Stop the HPPFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Provide an
hppfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget(). hppfs_iget() then uses
iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code instead of an inode in
the event of an error.
hppfs_fill_sb_common() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.
Note that the contents of hppfs_kern.c need to be examined:
(*) The HPPFS inode retains a pointer to the proc dentry it is shadowing, but
whilst it does appear to retain a reference to it, it doesn't appear to
destroy the reference if the inode goes away.
(*) hppfs_iget() should perhaps subsume init_inode() and hppfs_read_inode().
(*) It would appear that all hppfs inodes are the same inode because iget()
was being called with inode number 0, which forms the lookup key.
