Update the NOR flash support for TS-7200. The TS-7200 models all have 16-bit NOR flash. Update the platform init to support this. Remove the private TS72XX_NOR_* defines and use the common ep93xx defines for the external chip select physical base address instead. Move the NOR flash registration into a static __init function. When the NAND flash support is updated this function will also be used to register the NAND flash for the TS-7250 and TS-7260.

2009-07-22perf: avoid structure size confusion by using a fixed sizeArjan van de Ven
for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files (the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it). The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason. But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage. The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug is not normally noticed. .... except when you want every sample to be exact. Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.

2009-07-22perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited countersPeter Zijlstra
Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID because each inherited counter gets its own id. His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited counters have a unique identifier so that events like PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the sample streams. This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow, whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed, which might only take effect on the next cycle). This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full reconstruction is important.

2009-07-22fbmon: work around compiler bug in gcc-2.4.2Linus Torvalds
There's some odd bug in gcc-4.2 where it miscompiles a simple loop whent he loop counter is of type 'unsigned char' and it should count to 128. The compiler will incorrectly decide that a trivial loop like this: unsigned char i, ... for (i = 0; i < 128; i++) { .. is endless, and will compile it to a single instruction that just branches to itself. This was triggered by the addition of '-fno-strict-overflow', and we could play games with compiler versions and go back to '-fwrapv' instead, but the trivial way to avoid it is to just make the loop induction variable be an 'int' instead. Thanks to Krzysztof Oledzki for reporting and testing and to Troy Moure for digging through assembler differences and finding it.
