With the use of RCU in files structure, the look-up of files using fds can now
be lock-free. The lookup is protected by rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock().
This patch changes the readers to use lock-free lookup.

In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must
be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory
barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This
patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate
structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all
the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent
applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

For architecture like ia64, the switch stack structure is fairly large
(currently 528 bytes). For context switch intensive application, we found
that significant amount of cache misses occurs in switch_to() function.
The following patch adds a hook in the schedule() function to prefetch
switch stack structure as soon as 'next' task is determined. This allows
maximum overlap in prefetch cache lines for that structure.

arch/alpha/kernel/module.c:process_reloc_for_got(), which figures out how big
the .got section for a module should be, appears to be confusing r_offset (the
file offset that the relocation needs to be applied to) with r_addend (the
offset of the relocation's actual target address from the address of the
relocation's symbol). Because of this, one .got entry is allocated for each
relocation instead of one each unique symbol/addend.
In the module I am working with, this causes the .got section to be almost 10
times larger than it needs to be (75544 bytes instead of 7608 bytes). As the
.got is accessed with global-pointer-relative instructions, it needs to be
within the 64k gp "zone", and a 75544 byte .got clearly does not fit. The
result of this is that relocation overflows are detected during module load
and the load is aborted.
Change struct got_entry/process_reloc_for_got to fix this.

The use of non-shortcut version of routines breaking CPU hotplug. The option
to select this via cmdline also is deleted with the physflat patch, hence
directly placing this code under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
We dont want to use broadcast mode IPI's when hotplug is enabled. This causes
bad effects in send IPI to a cpu that is offline which can trip when the cpu
is in the process of being kicked alive.

This is the same issue as ppc64 before, when returning to userland we
shouldn't re-compute the seccomp check or the task could be killed during
sigreturn when orig_eax is overwritten by the sigreturn syscall. This was
found by Roland.
This was harmless from a security standpoint, but some i686 users reported
failures with auditing enabled system wide (some distro surprisingly makes
it the default) and I reproduced it too by keeping the whole workload under
strace -f.
Patch is tested and works for me under strace -f.

The following patch changes the usages of PVR_440* into strcmp's with the
cpu_name field, and removes the defines altogether. The Ebony portion was
briefly tested long ago. One benefit of moving from PVR-tests to string
tests in general is that not all CPUs can be on and be able to do this type
of comparison.

Modifies serial_init to get base baud rate from the rs_table entry instead
of BAUD_BASE. This patch eliminates duplication between the
SERIAL_PORT_DFNS macro and BAUD_BASE. Without the patch, if a port set the
baud rate in SERIAL_PORT_DFNS, but did not update BASE_BAUD, the BASE_BAUD
value would still be used.

The pciconfig_iobase, pciconfig_read and pciconfig_write system calls
were only implemented for 32-bit processes; for 64-bit processes they
returned an ENOSYS error. This allows them to be used by 64-bit
processes as well. The X server uses pciconfig_iobase at least, and
this change is necessary to allow a 64-bit X server to work on my G5.

This patch pulls the PCI-related junk out of struct device_node and
puts it in a separate structure, struct pci_dn. The device_node now
just has a void * pointer in it, which points to a struct pci_dn for
nodes that represent PCI devices. It could potentially be used in
future for device-specific data for other sorts of devices, such as
virtual I/O devices.

In PPC64 there are number of problems in arch/ppc64/boot/main.c that
prevent a kernel from making use of a large (greater than ~16MB) INITRD.
This is 64 bit architecture and really large INITRD images should be
possible.
Simply put the existing code has a fixed reservation (claim) address and
once the kernel plus initrd image are large enough to pass this address
all sorts of bad things occur. The fix is the dynamically establish the
first claim address above the loaded kernel plus initrd (plus some
"padding" and rounding). If PROG_START is defined this will be used as
the minimum safe address - currently known to be 0x01400000 for the
firmwares tested so far.

The highlights of the patch are:

advantage of the driver model by David Brownell and Ladislav Michl
- Use set_irq_type() for GPIO interrupts instead of
omap_set_gpio_edge_ctrl() by David Brownell
- Add minimal support for handling optional add-on boards, such as
OSK Mistral board with LCD and keypad, by David Brownell
- Minimal support for loading functions to SRAM by Tony Lindgren
- Wake up from serial port by muxing RX lines temporarily into GPIO
interrupts by Tony Lindgren

There were three changes necessary in order to allow
sparc64 to use setup-res.c:
1) Sparc64 roots the PCI I/O and MEM address space using
parent resources contained in the PCI controller structure.
I'm actually surprised no other platforms do this, especially
ones like Alpha and PPC{,64}. These resources get linked into the
iomem/ioport tree when PCI controllers are probed.
So the hierarchy looks like this:
iomem --|
PCI controller 1 MEM space --|
device 1
device 2
etc.
PCI controller 2 MEM space --|
...
ioport --|
PCI controller 1 IO space --|
...
PCI controller 2 IO space --|
...
You get the idea. The drivers/pci/setup-res.c code allocates
using plain iomem_space and ioport_space as the root, so that
wouldn't work with the above setup.
So I added a pcibios_select_root() that is used to handle this.
It uses the PCI controller struct's io_space and mem_space on
sparc64, and io{port,mem}_resource on every other platform to
keep current behavior.
2) quirk_io_region() is buggy. It takes in raw BUS view addresses
and tries to use them as a PCI resource.
pci_claim_resource() expects the resource to be fully formed when
it gets called. The sparc64 implementation would do the translation
but that's absolutely wrong, because if the same resource gets
released then re-claimed we'll adjust things twice.
So I fixed up quirk_io_region() to do the proper pcibios_bus_to_resource()
conversion before passing it on to pci_claim_resource().
3) I was mistakedly __init'ing the function methods the PCI controller
drivers provide on sparc64 to implement some parts of these
routines. This was, of course, easy to fix.
So we end up with the following, and that nasty SPARC64 makefile
ifdef in drivers/pci/Makefile is finally zapped.
