Define AT91_USART0, 1, 2 so the selection of the UART for early kernel
messages works.
(See commit fa3218d8594869b38b1a170ea36d176ac455b897).
Replace AT91_SHDC with AT91_SHDWC to be consistent with other AT91 platforms.

unsigned long != __le32, TYVM, and unsigned char[4] is not guaranteed
to be aligned for u32.
While we are at it, sanitize sOutDW() a bit - have it take Byte_t * and
handle dereferencing internally.
NB: sWriteTxPrioByte() is almost certainly buggered on big-endian and is
missing cpu_to_le16() on assignments to *WordPtr; I've left it alone for now.

Implement support for the E-Ink Metronome controller. It provides an mmapable
interface to the controller using defio support. It was tested with a gumstix
pxa255 with Vizplex media using Xfbdev and various X clients such as xeyes,
xpdf, xloadimage.
This patch also fixes the following bug: Defio would cause a hang on write
access to the framebuffer as the page fault would be called ad-infinitum. It
fixes fb_defio by setting the mapping to be used by page_mkclean.

In the process of writing up the mechanical proof of correctness for the
dynticks/preemptable-RCU interface, I noticed misplaced memory barriers in
rcu_enter_nohz() and rcu_exit_nohz().
This patch puts them in the right place and adds a comment. The key thing to
keep in mind is that rcu_enter_nohz() is -exiting- the mode that can legally
execute RCU read-side critical sections.
The memory barrier must be between any potential RCU read-side critical
sections and the increment of the per-CPU dynticks_progress_counter, and thus
must come -before- this increment. And vice versa for rcu_exit_nohz().
The locking in the scheduler is probably saving us for the moment.
Also, switch to smp_mb() - we don't need a barrier for uniprocessor kernels.

Since 4c7ffe0b9f7f40bd818fe3af51342f64c483908e ("fbdev: prevent drivers that
have hardware cursors from calling software cursor code") every call of
i810fb_cursor fails with -ENXIO because of a incorrect "!".
This hasn't struck until eaa0ff15c30dc9799eb4d12660edb73aeb6d32c5 ("fix !
versus & precedence in various places") surrounded the expression with braces,
so that the intended behavior was inverted. That caused 'pixel waste' - the
same line of multi-colored pixels repeated over the whole screen - during
console switch.
This switches back to the original pre-4c7ffe0 behavior.

Fix a long-standing typo (predating git) that will cause data corruption if a

To test this case mount a filesystem with data=journal, start creating and

pull the plug on the device. Without this patch the files will contain zeros

Fix up an error in iget removal in which romfs_lookup() making a successful
call to romfs_iget() continues through the negative/error handling (previously
the successful case jumped around the negative/error handling case):
(1) inode is initialised to NULL at the top of the function, eliminating the
need for specific negative-inode handling. This means the positive
success handling now flows straight through.
(2) Rename the labels to be clearer about what they mean.
Also make romfs_lookup()'s result variable of type long so as to avoid
32-bit/64-bit conversions with PTR_ERR() and friends.

My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process
sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come
and it never would.
We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP. The hang only occurred on a Xeon box
("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe"). On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't
shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all
two processors on the Core2Duo we use.
My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop
in read_events(), what happens on processor #1:
1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait
2) aio_read_evt() to check tail
3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep
In aio_complete() with processor #2:
A) info->tail = tail;
B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait)
C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up()
The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors
before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by
step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors
(checked in step 2) before step B is done.
The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were
effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2
cache not shared by some of the other processors. Imagine:
proc 2: just before step A
proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet
proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events
proc 2, step A: updates tail
proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps
proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup
so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely
My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B. It ensures that the
update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing. If processor 1
was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update
tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail).
Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time. After
the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

The cell IOMMU code to parse the dma-ranges properties, used for the fixed
mapping, was broken in two ways for some devices.
Firstly it didn't cope with empty dma-ranges properties. An empty property
implies no translation so can be safely skipped.
The code also wrongly assumed it would be looking at PCI devices, and hard
coded the number of address and size cells.

The wrapper script didn't have entries for the TQM8540 board and the
SBC8548 or SBC8560 boards. I've assumed that the TQM8540 console is
8250 based and not CPM based by looking at its defconfig. There was
also a trailing * on the TQM8555 entry that I removed too.

Since the PMU is an NMI now, it can come at any time we are only soft
disabled. We must hard disable around the two places we allow the kernel
stack SLB and r1 to go out of sync. Otherwise the PMU exception can
force a kernel stack SLB into another slot, which can lead to it
getting evicted, which can lead to a nasty unrecoverable SLB miss
in the exception entry code.

The PTRACE_SETREGS request was only recently added on powerpc,
and gdb does not use it. So it slipped through without getting
all the testing it should have had.
The user_regset changes had a simple bug in storing to all of
the 32-bit general registers block on 64-bit kernels. This bug
only comes up with PTRACE_SETREGS, not PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS.
It causes a BUG_ON to hit, so this fix needs to go in ASAP.

This reverts commit 2c81ce4c9c37b910210f2640c28e98a0c398dc26.
It caused several new troubles (eg suspend slowdown bisected down to
this patch by Pavel Machek), so just revert it for now.
