To test for the existence of an RTAS function, we typically do:
foo_token = rtas_token("foo");
if (foo_token == RTAS_UNKNOWN_SERVICE)
return;
Add a rtas_service_present method, which provides a more conventional
boolean interface for testing the existence of an RTAS method.

This patch causes a sync do be done after masking a QE interrupt, to
ensure that the masking has completed before interrupts are enabled.
This allows the masking of the cascade IRQ to be removed without causing
spurious interrupts.
The mask_and_ack function is also removed and set to the mask function,
as the two are identical.

If one attempts to create a device driver recovery sequence that

Move pSeries_mach_cpu_die() into platforms/pseries/hotplug-cpu.c,
this allows rtas_stop_self() to be static so remove the prototype.
Wire up pSeries_mach_cpu_die() in the initcall, rather than statically
in setup.c, the initcall will still run prior to the cpu hotplug code

It appears that include/asm-arm/bug.h requires include/linux/stddef.h
for the definition of NULL. It seems that stddef.h was always included
indirectly in most cases, and that issue was properly fixed a while ago.
Then commit 5047f09b56d0bc3c21aec9cb16de60283da645c6 incorrectly reverted
change from commit ff10952a547dad934d9ed9afc5cf579ed1ccb53a (bad dwmw2)
and the problem recently resurfaced.
Because the third argument to __bug() is never used anyway, RMK suggested
getting rid of it entirely instead of readding #include <linux/stddef.h>
which this patch does.

While working on implementing csum_ipv6_magic, I noticed that current
version of ip_fast_csum will potentially return bits above "unsigned
short" as 1. While no harm is done right now because all call sites
will chop off the upper bits when it uses the return value. However,
this is still dangerous and buggy. Here is a patch to enforce that the
function really returns unsigned short in the native register format.
The fix is free as there are plenty open slot to add one more asm instruction.

The iop348 processor integrates an Xscale (XSC3 512KB L2 Cache) core with a
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller, multi-ported DDR2 memory
controller, 3 Application Direct Memory Access (DMA) controllers, a 133Mhz
PCI-X interface, a x8 PCI-Express interface, and other peripherals to form
a system-on-a-chip RAID subsystem engine.
The iop342 processor replaces the SAS controller with a second Xscale core
for dual core embedded applications.
The iop341 processor is the single core version of iop342.
This patch supports the two Intel customer reference platforms iq81340mc
for external storage and iq81340sc for direct attach (HBA) development.

The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several
architectures. This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and
then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code.
The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support
kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

This creates a new RTC-framework driver for the RTC/calendar module found
in various OMAP1 chips. (OMAP2 and OMAP3 use external RTCs, like those in
TI's multifunction PM companion chips.) It's been in the Linux-OMAP tree
for several months now, and other trees before that, so it's quite stable.
The most notable issue is that the OMAP IRQ code doesn't yet support the
RTC IRQ as a wakeup event. Once that's fixed, a patch will be needed.

There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn,
prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus
generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add

the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine:

When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its
instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some
processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and
thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer.
There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If
those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the
buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing.
However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this
patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also
introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency.
The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released
immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are
marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release
"dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if
there are no unused slots.
