Commit 7ad728f98162cb1af06a85b2a5fc422dddd4fb78
(cpumask: x86: convert cpu_sibling_map/cpu_core_map to cpumask_var_t)
changed the output of /proc/cpuinfo for siblings:
Example on an AMD Phenom:
physical id : 0
siblings : 1
core id : 3
cpu cores : 4
Before that commit it was:
physical id : 0
siblings : 4
core id : 3
cpu cores : 4
Instead of cpu_core_mask it now uses cpu_sibling_mask to count siblings.
This is due to the following hunk of above commit:
| --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
| +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
| @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ static void show_cpuinfo_core(struct seq_file *m, struct cpuinf
| if (c->x86_max_cores * smp_num_siblings > 1) {
| seq_printf(m, "physical id\t: %d\n", c->phys_proc_id);

This was a mistake, because the impact line shows that this side-effect
was not anticipated:
Impact: reduce per-cpu size for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
So revert the respective hunk to restore the old behavior.

The powerpc kernel always requires an Open Firmware like device tree
to supply device information. On systems without OF, this comes from
a flattened device tree blob. This blob is usually generated by dtc,
a tool which compiles a text description of the device tree into the
flattened format used by the kernel. Sometimes, the bootwrapper makes
small changes to the pre-compiled device tree blob (e.g. filling in
the size of RAM). To do this it uses the libfdt library.
Because these are only used on powerpc, the code for both these tools
is included under arch/powerpc/boot (these were imported and are
periodically updated from the upstream dtc tree).
However, the microblaze architecture, currently being prepared for
merging to mainline also uses dtc to produce device tree blobs. A few
other archs have also mentioned some interest in using dtc.
Therefore, this patch moves dtc and libfdt from arch/powerpc into
scripts, where it can be used by any architecture.
The vast bulk of this patch is a literal move, the rest is adjusting
the various Makefiles to use dtc and libfdt correctly from their new
locations.

This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of
special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults
when binfmt_aout built as module. That happens because aout binary
handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and
kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must
be done by binfmt_loader.
Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers
using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which
places new handler on the top of the binfmt list. This might be generally
useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just
for overriding them.

This build error was caused at __HEAD macro in arch/m32r/kernel/head.S,

because the __stringify() macro depends on the gcc's variadic macro

commit 2657dd4e301d4841ed67a4fac7d145ad8f3e1b28 introduced a
bug where we would now always override the "real" oprofile CPU
type with the "compatible" one provided by a pseudo-PVR in the
device-tree which is incorrect and breaks oprofile on all current
configs since the "compatible" ones aren't yet recognized.
This fixes it.

Oprofile is changing the naming it is using for the compatibility modes.
Instead of having compat-power<x>, oprofile will go to family naming
convention and use ibm-compat-v<x>. Currently only ibm-compat-v1 will
be defined.
The notion of compatibility events just started with POWER6. So there is
no way that any other tool could exist that is using these
oprofile_cpu_type strings we want to change.

According to the gettimeofday(2) manual:
If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not
set or returned.
Since it is legal to give NULL as the tv argument, the code should make
sure tv is not NULL before trying to dereference it.
This issue manifests itself on x86_64 when vdso=0 is not on the kernel
command-line and libc uses the vDSO for gettimeofday() (e.g. glibc >=
2.7). A simple reproducer:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
int main(void)
{
struct timezone tz;
gettimeofday(NULL, &tz);
return 0;
}

__ftr_alt_* sections of a file away from the .text section, causing
link failures due to relative conditional branch targets being too far

To fix this PPC_CELL_NATIVE should select PCI. However, that would

On ppc64 we implemented elf_read_implies_exec() for 32-bit binaries
because old toolchains had bugs where they didn't mark program
segments executable that needed to be. For some reason we didn't do
this on ppc32 builds. This hadn't been an issue until commit 8d30c14c
("powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3)"), which had as a side
effect that we are now enforcing execute permissions to some extent on
32-bit 4xx and Book E processors.
This fixes it by defining elf_read_implies_exec on 32-bit to turn on
the read-implies-exec behaviour on programs that are sufficiently old
that they don't have a PT_GNU_STACK program header.

Update NAND partitioning for the dm6446 evm, unmasking the hidden
data at the beginning and letting the kernel be updated from Linux.
- This is boot-compatible with TI's software (U-Boot 1.20 and both
the 2.6.10 and 2.6.18 kernels), in terms of startup and loading
kernels from flash.
- In the same way, it's also boot-compatible with mainline U-Boot,
which stores U-Boot params in block 0 not block 16.
- It's not quite compatible with systems that previously used NAND
partitions to hold (filesystem) data. The compatibilities are a
bit different based on which kernel was used previously
+ Users of TI/MV kernels no longer see mtd2 "params"
(mainline u-boot env is in a different place)
* Filesystem is now mtd2 ... vs mtd3
+ Users of GIT kernels now see mtd0 and mtd1 partitions
* Filesystem partition starts 640 KBytes earlier
* Filesystem is now mtd2 ... vs mtd0
* Linux now *uses* the flash-resident BBT
* Removes annoying slowdown/hiccup during boot
* Potentially ~64KB less space available with TI/MV kernels
If you *used* NAND partitions from Linux, there is no solution that's

this "best compromise". It'd be good to back back up the filesystem
data; or, carry your own backwards-compatibility patch for awhile.

Rework DM644x code into SoC specific and board specific parts.
This is also to generalize the structure a bit so it's easier to add
support for new SoCs in the DaVinci family.
