Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.
The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.
Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
it right.

Remove arch-specific show_mem() in favor of the generic version.
This also removes the following redundant information display:
- free swap pages, printed by show_swap_cache_info()
- pages in swapcache, printed by show_swap_cache_info()
where show_mem() calls show_free_areas(), which calls
show_swap_cache_info().

Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.
The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.
This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
all the malloc/free implementations.
The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
- free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
allocations should be made
- free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed
The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
function call. This function will be called several times during the
decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
arch_decomp_wdog().
Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
kernel and improved by me.

free_area_init_node() gets passed in the node id as well as the node
descriptor. This is redundant as the function can trivially get the node
descriptor itself by means of NODE_DATA() and the node's id.

from where this function is called.

When the conversion factor between jiffies and milli- or microseconds is
not a single multiply or divide, as for the case of HZ == 300, we currently
do a multiply followed by a divide. The intervening result, however, is
subject to overflows, especially since the fraction is not simplified (for
HZ == 300, we multiply by 300 and divide by 1000).
This is exposed to the user when passing a large timeout to poll(), for
example.
This patch replaces the multiply-divide with a reciprocal multiplication on
32-bit platforms. When the input is an unsigned long, there is no portable
way to do this on 64-bit platforms there is no portable way to do this
since it requires a 128-bit intermediate result (which gcc does support on
64-bit platforms but may generate libgcc calls, e.g. on 64-bit s390), but
since the output is a 32-bit integer in the cases affected, just simplify
the multiply-divide (*3/10 instead of *300/1000).
The reciprocal multiply used can have off-by-one errors in the upper half
of the valid output range. This could be avoided at the expense of having
to deal with a potential 65-bit intermediate result. Since the intent is
to avoid overflow problems and most of the other time conversions are only
semiexact, the off-by-one errors were considered an acceptable tradeoff.
At Ralf Baechle's suggestion, this version uses a Perl script to compute
the necessary constants. We already have dependencies on Perl for kernel
compiles. This does, however, require the Perl module Math::BigInt, which
is included in the standard Perl distribution starting with version 5.8.0.
In order to support older versions of Perl, include a table of canned
constants in the script itself, and structure the script so that
Math::BigInt isn't required if pulling values from said table.
Running the script requires that the HZ value is available from the
Makefile. Thus, this patch also adds the Kconfig variable CONFIG_HZ to the
architectures which didn't already have it (alpha, cris, frv, h8300, m32r,
m68k, m68knommu, sparc, v850, and xtensa.) It does *not* touch the sh or
sh64 architectures, since Paul Mundt has dealt with those separately in the
sh tree.

Mark arches that support A.OUT format by including the following in their
master Kconfig files:
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT
def_bool y
This should also be set if the arch provides compatibility A.OUT support for
an older arch, for instance x86_64 for i386 or sparc64 for sparc.
I've guessed at which arches don't, based on comments in the code, however I'm
sure that some of the ones I've marked as 'yes' actually should be 'no'.

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.
This patch:
Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.
Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

Linus:
On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like
depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32
really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.
It would be much better to do
depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
have a
bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
default y
in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...
Changelog:
Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
it, I realize that I should have told you to just use
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
def_bool y
instead, which is a bit denser.
We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
what "def_bool" is there for...

- Moving to HAVE_*.
- Add AVR32 oprofile.

The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.
Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.
Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).

However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().
A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
Changelog:
2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
and remove dependence on the task_pid().
2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
bug rather than force a kernel panic.

Convert m32r to the generic sys_ptrace. The conversion requires an
architecture hook after ptrace_attach which this patch adds. The hook
will also be needed for a conersion of ia64 to the generic ptrace code.
Thanks to Hirokazu Takata for fixing a bug in the first version of this
code.

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
condition.
Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
that something has gone wrong.
This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
than just the one thread.

The variable AFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.
This patch replace use of AFLAGS with KBUILD_AFLAGS all over
the tree.
Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k, s390

kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.
This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.
One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.
Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k
Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.

The names of STI and CLI macros were derived from i386 arch historically,
but their name are incomprehensible.
So, for easy to understand, rename these macros to ENABLE_INTERRUPTS
and DISABLE_INTERRUPTS, respectively.

If no IRQ request is found in the IRQ check of ei_handler,
we can exit directly by jumping "restore_all", instead of via
"ret_from_intr".
This modification is also likely effective for IPI operations,
because scheduler call never happen at the exit of IPIs.
