In d7e81c2 (clocksource: Add clocksource_register_hz/khz interface) new
interfaces were added which simplify (and optimize) the selection of the
divisor shift/mult constants. Switch over to using this new interface.

The ARM perf_event.c file contains all PMU backends and, as new PMUs
are introduced, will continue to grow.
This patch follows the example of x86 and splits the PMU implementations
into separate files which are then #included back into the main
file. Compile-time guards are added to each PMU file to avoid compiling
in code that is not relevant for the version of the architecture which
we are targetting.

Currently, perf uses the PMU ID as an index into a string table
to look up the name of a given PMU.
This patch encodes the name of a PMU directly into the arm_pmu
structure so that PMU-specific code can be factored out into
separate files.

In preparation for separating the PMU-specific code, this patch adds
self-contained init functions to each PMU, therefore removing any
PMU-specific knowledge from the PMU-agnostic init_hw_perf_events
function.

The functions for mapping PMU events (perf, cache and raw) are
common between all PMU types and differ only in the data on which
they operate.
This patch implements common definitions of these mapping functions
and changes the arm_pmu struct to hold pointers to the data which
they require. This is in anticipation of separating out the PMU-specific
code into separate files.

When compiling arch/x86/kernel/early_printk_mrst.c with i386
allmodconfig, gcc-4.1.0 generates an out-of-line copy of
__set_fixmap_offset() which contains a reference to
__this_fixmap_does_not_exist which the compiler cannot elide.
Marking __set_fixmap_offset() as __always_inline prevents this.

The find_next_bit, find_first_bit, find_next_zero_bit
and find_first_zero_bit functions were not properly
clamping to the maxbit argument at the bit level. They
were instead only checking maxbit at the byte level.
To fix this, add a compare and a conditional move
instruction to the end of the common bit-within-the-
byte code used by all the functions and be sure not to
clobber the maxbit argument before it is used.

This change fixes a bug that memchr() will read the first word
of the source even if the length is zero. Ironically, the code
was originally written with a test to avoid exactly this problem,
but to make the code conform to Linux coding standards with all
declarations preceding all statements, the first load from memory
was moved up above that test as the initial value for a variable.
The change just moves all the variable declarations to the top
of the file, with no initializers, so that the test can also be
at the top of the file.

glibc assumes that it can count /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu* to get
the number of configured cpus. For this to be valid on tile, we need
to generate a "cpu" entry for all cpus, including the ones that are
not currently allocated for Linux's use.

This change enables PCI root complex support for TILEPro. Unlike
TILE-Gx, TILEPro has no support for memory-mapped I/O, so the PCI
support consists of hypervisor upcalls for PIO, DMA, etc. However,
the performance is fine for the devices we have tested with so far
(1Gb Ethernet, SATA, etc.).
The <asm/io.h> header was tweaked to be a little bit more aggressive
about disabling attempts to map/unmap IO port space. The hacky
<asm/pci-bridge.h> header was rolled into the <asm/pci.h> header
and the result was simplified. Both of the latter two headers were
preliminary versions not meant for release before now - oh well.
There is one quirk for our TILEmpower platform, which accidentally
negotiates up to 5GT and needs to be kicked down to 2.5GT.

This change adds the first network driver for the tile architecture,
supporting the on-chip XGBE and GBE shims.
The infrastructure is present for the TILE-Gx networking drivers (another
three source files in the new directory) but for now the the actual
tilegx sources are waiting on releasing hardware to initial customers.
Note that arch/tile/include/hv/* are "upstream" headers from the
Tilera hypervisor and will probably benefit less from LKML review.

Only make swapper_pg_dir readonly and pinned when generic x86 architecture code
(which also starts on initial_page_table) switches to it. This helps ensure
that the generic setup paths work on Xen unmodified. In particular
clone_pgd_range writes directly to the destination pgd entries and is used to
initialise swapper_pg_dir so we need to ensure that it remains writeable until
the last possible moment during bring up.
This is complicated slightly by the need to avoid sharing kernel PMD entries
when running under Xen, therefore the Xen implementation must make a copy of
the kernel PMD (which is otherwise referred to by both intial_page_table and
swapper_pg_dir) before switching to swapper_pg_dir.

init_mm used at kernel/sched.c:idle_task_exit() has spin_lock
(init_mm.context.id_lock) that is not initialized when spin_lock/unlock
is called at an ARM machine. Note that mm_struct.context.id_lock is
usually initialized except for the instance of init_mm at
linux/arch/arm/mm/context.c
Not initializing this spinlock incurs "BUG: pinlock bad magic"
warning when spinlock debug is enabled. We have observed such
instances when testing PM in S5PC210 machines.

Commit 8b592783 added a Thumb-2 variant of usracc which, when it is
called with \rept=2, calls usraccoff once with an offset of 0 and
secondly with a hard-coded offset of 4 in order to avoid incrementing
the pointer again. If \inc != 4 then we will store the data to the wrong
offset from \ptr. Luckily, the only caller that passes \rept=2 to this
function is __clear_user so we haven't been actively corrupting user data.
This patch fixes usracc to pass \inc instead of #4 to usraccoff
when it is called a second time.

The current implementation of sched_clock() for the Nomadik
family is based on the clock source that will wrap around without
any compensation. Currently on the Ux500 after 1030 seconds.
Utilize cnt32_to_63 to expand the sched_clock() counter to 63
bits and introduce a keepwarm() timer to assure that sched clock
and this cnt32_to_63 is called atleast once every half period.
When I print out the actual wrap-around time, and using
a year (3600*24*365 seconds) as minumum wrap limit I get an
actual wrap-around of:
sched_clock: using 55 bits @ 8333125 Hz wrap in 416 days

Add the options to enable the function graph tracer on ARM. Function
graph tracer support requires frame pointers, so exclude Thumb-2 and
also make sure FRAME_POINTER gets enabled when FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is
used, since FUNCTION_TRACER doesn't "select FRAME_POINTER" when
ARM_UNWIND is used. Therefore, with GCC 4.4.0+, you get plain function
tracing without frame pointers, but you'll need them if you want
function graph tracing.

GCC's __builtin_prefetch() was introduced a long time ago, all
supported GCC versions have it. So this patch is to use it for
implementing the prefetch on SH2A and SH4.
The current prefetch implementation is almost equivalent with
__builtin_prefetch.
The third parameter in the __builtin_prefetch is the locality
that it's not supported on SH architectures. It has been set
to three and it should be verified if it's suitable for SH2A
as well. I didn't test on this architecture.
The builtin usage should be more efficient that an __asm__
because less barriers, and because the compiler doesn't see the
inst as a "black box" allowing better code generation.
This has been already done on other architectures (see the commit:
0453fb3c528c5eb3483441a466b24a4cb409eec5).
Many thanks to Christian Bruel <christain.bruel@st.com> for his
support on evaluate the impact of the gcc built-in on SH4 arch.
No regressions found while testing with LMbench on STLinux targets.
