Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.
This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.

The function mmu_inval_dma_area takes a virtual address as a parameter
which is problematic in case the buffer is located in highmem and the
mapping currently is unavailable.
Since the function was only implemented for LEON this patch removes
calls to it in non LEON code paths and renames it to dma_make_coherent
which instead takes a physical address (which for now is unused since we
flush the whole cache). This way it is possible to remove several unnecessary
calls to page_address which will fail if the virtual mapping is unavailable.

Adapt new API. Almost change is trivial, most important change are to
remove following like =operator.
cpumask_t cpu_mask = *mm_cpumask(mm);
cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed;
Because cpumask_var_t is =operator unsafe. These usage might prevent
kernel core improvement.
No functional change.

The sun4d does not seem to have a distingstion between soft and hard
IRQs. When generating IPIs the generated IRQ looks like a hard IRQ,
this patch adds a "IPI check" in the sun4d irq trap handler at a
predefined IRQ number (SUN4D_IPI_IRQ). Before generating an IPI
a per-cpu memory structure is modified for the "IPI check" to
successfully detect a IPI request to a specific processor, the check
clears the IPI work requested.
All three IPIs (resched, single and cpu-mask) use the same IRQ
number.
The IPI IRQ should preferrably be on a separate IRQ and definitly
not shared with IRQ handlers requesting IRQ with IRQF_SHARED.

Implement the three IPIs (resched, single and cpu-mask) generation
and interrupt handler catch. The sun4m has 15 soft-IRQs and three
of them is used with this patch, the three IPIs was previously
implemented with the cross-call IRQ15 which does not work with
locking routines such as spinlocks because IRQ15 is NMI, it may
cause deadlock.
The IRQ trap handler code assumes (in the same spritit as the old
it seems) that hard interrupts will be generated until handled
(level), when a IRQ happens the IRQ pending register is checked
for pending soft-IRQs. When both hard and soft IRQ happens at the
same time only soft-IRQs are handled.
The old code implemented a soft-IRQ traphandler at IRQ14 which
called smp_reschedule_irq which in turn called set_need_resched.
It seems to be an old relic and is replaced with the interrupt
traphander exit code RESTORE_ALL, it calls schedule() when
appropriate.

This patch implements SMP IPIs on LEON using software generated
IRQs to signal between CPUs.
The IPI IRQ number is set by using the ipi_num property in the
device tree, or defaults to 13. LEON SMP systems should reserve
IRQ 13 (and IRQ 15) to Linux in order for the defaults to work.

The current sparc32 SMP IPI generation is implemented the
cross call function. The cross call function uses IRQ15 the
NMI, this is has the effect that IPIs will interrupt IRQ
critical areas and hang the system. Typically on/after
spin_lock_irqsave calls can be aborted.
The cross call functionality must still exist to flush
cache/TLBS.
This patch provides CPU models a custom way to implement
generation of IPIs on the generic code's request. The
typical approach is to generate an IRQ for each IPI case.
After this patch each sparc32 SMP CPU model needs to
implement IPIs in order to function properly.

__csum_partial_copy_sparc_generic
When we are in the label cc_dword_align, registers %o0 and %o1 have the same last 2 bits,
but it's not guaranteed one of them is zero. So we can get unaligned memory access
in label ccte. Example of parameters which lead to this:
%o0=0x7ff183e9, %o1=0x8e709e7d, %g1=3
With the parameters I had a memory corruption, when the additional 5 bytes were rewritten.
This patch corrects the error.
One comment to the patch. We don't care about the third bit in %o1, because cc_end_cruft
stores word or less.

This patch adds a multiple message send syscall and is the send
version of the existing recvmmsg syscall. This is heavily
based on the patch by Arnaldo that added recvmmsg.
I wrote a microbenchmark to test the performance gains of using
this new syscall:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/sendmmsg_test.c
The test was run on a ppc64 box with a 10 Gbit network card. The
benchmark can send both UDP and RAW ethernet packets.

* proper initialization of boot_cpu_id (no hardcoding to 0)

Define boot_cpu_id in single-processor kernels as well. This is
to support architectures which can boot on other than CPU0.
Sam Ravnborg has written the cleanup parts by extracting
boot_cpu_id from smp_32.c into setup_32.c and cleaned up
sun4d_irq.c.
boot_cpu_id was initialized before BSS was cleared in
sun4c_continue_boot, instead boot_cpu_id is set to 0xff to
avoid BSS. If boot_cpu_id is untouched (0xff) by bootup code
it will be overwritten to 0. boot_cpu_id4 is automatically
calculated in common code.

We did a cpu_probe() call each time a CPU got online - which
only effect was to save latest CPU/FPU info for use by show_cpuinfo().
Use same setup as for sparc64 where we probe for this info during startup,
and only once.
This allowed us to annotate a few functions __init which again
fixed the following section mismatch warnings:

The LEON interrupt controller has one single mask register for all
IRQs per CPU, even though the genirq layer protects us from accessing
the same IRQ at the same time other IRQs share the same mask register
and may thus interfere. Some other IRQ controllers has a mask register
or similar per IRQ instead which makes spinlocks unncessary.

The conversion of sparc32 to genirq is based on original work done
by David S. Miller.
Daniel Hellstrom has helped in the conversion and implemented
the shutdowm functionality.
Marcel van Nies <morcles@gmail.com> has tested this on Sparc Station 20

including SMP variants
generic
Introduce use of GENERIC_HARDIRQS and GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW
Allocate 64 IRQs - which is enough even for SS2000
Use a table of irq_bucket to maintain uses IRQs
irq_bucket is also used to chain several irq's that
must be called when the same intrrupt is asserted
Use irq_link to link a interrupt source to the irq
All plafforms must now supply their own build_device_irq method

Rewrote sun4d_handler_irq to use generic irq support
TODO:
The original implmentation of enable/disable had:
if (irq < NR_IRQS)
return;
The new implmentation does not distingush between SBUS and cpu
interrupts.
I am no sure what is right here. I assume we need to do
something for the cpu interrupts.
I have not succeeded booting my sun4d box (with or without this patch)
and my understanding of this platfrom is limited.
So I would be a bit suprised if this works.

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.
In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.
This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.
BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!

This compile error triggers on Sparc64:
kernel/sched.c:7140: error: 'cpu_coregroup_mask' undeclared here (not in a function)
Because after the recent scheduler domain cleanups the scheduler
uses this arch method as a function pointer in a scheduler
topology data structure - which is not possible with a macro.

* 'for-linus2' of git://git.profusion.mobi/users/lucas/linux-2.6:
Fix common misspellings
|

Introduce:
static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key);
instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro.
In this way, jump labels become really easy to use:
Define:
struct jump_label_key jump_key;
Can be used as:
if (static_branch(&jump_key))
do unlikely code
enable/disale via:
jump_label_inc(&jump_key);
jump_label_dec(&jump_key);
that's it!
For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an
atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(),
atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below.
Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct.
Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into
the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in
basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous
hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write.
Testing:
I ran a series of 'tbench 20' runs 5 times (with reboots) for 3
configurations, where tracepoints were disabled.
jump label configured in
avg: 815.6
jump label *not* configured in (using atomic reads)
avg: 800.1
jump label *not* configured in (regular reads)
avg: 803.4

We have to pass task_struct of previous process to function
schedule_tail(). Currently in ret_from_fork previous thread_info
is passed:
switch_to: mov %g6, %g3 /* previous thread_info in g6 */
ret_from_fork: call schedule_tail
mov %g3, %o0 /* previous thread_info is passed */
void schedule_tail(struct task_struct *prev);

Fix all of the problems spotted by CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH under
arch/sparc during a 64-bit defconfig build.
They fall into two categorites:
1) of_device_id is marked as __initdata, and we can never do this
since these objects sit in the device core data structures way
past boot. So even if a driver will never be reloaded, we have
to keep the device ID table around.
Mark such cases const instead.
2) The bootmem alloc/free handling code in mdesc.c was not fully
marked __init as it should be, thus generating a reference
to free_bootmem_late() (which is __init) from non-__init code.
