The extended IRQ controller gives the LEON 16 more IRQs.
The patch installs a custom handler for the exetended controller
IRQ, where a register is read and the "real" IRQ causing IRQ is
determined.

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
Test status:
sun4c - not tested
sun4m,pci - not tested
sun4m,sbus - tested (Sparc Classic, Sparc Station 5, Sparc Station 20)
sun4d - not tested
leon - tested on various combinations of leon boards,
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
handler_irq rewriten to use generic irq support
floppy
Read FLOPPY_IRQ from platform device
Use generic request_irq to register the floppy interrupt
Rewrote sparc_floppy_irq to use the generic irq support
pcic:
Introduce irq_chip
Store mask in chip_data for use in mask/unmask functions
Add build_device_irq for pcic
Use pcic_build_device_irq in pci_time_init
allocate virtual irqs in pcic_fill_irq
sun4c:
Introduce irq_chip
Store mask in chip_data for use in mask/unmask functions
Add build_device_irq for sun4c
Use sun4c_build_device_irq in sun4c_init_timers
sun4m:
Introduce irq_chip
Introduce dedicated mask/unmask methods
Introduce sun4m_handler_data that allow easy access to necessary
data in the mask/unmask functions
Add a helper method to enable profile_timer (used from smp)
Added sun4m_build_device_irq
Use sun4m_build_device_irq in sun4m_init_timers
TODO:
There is no replacement for smp_rotate that always scheduled
next CPU as interrupt target upon an interrupt
sun4d:
Introduce irq_chip
Introduce dedicated mask/unmask methods
Introduce sun4d_handler_data that allow easy access to
necessary data in mask/unmask fuctions
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.
leon:
Introduce irq_chip
Store mask in chip_data for use in mask/unmask functions
Add build_device_irq for leon
Use leon_build_device_irq in leon_init_timers

nouveau_bo_wr32 expects offset to be in words, but we pass value in bytes,
so after commit 73412c3854c877e5f37ad944ee8977addde4d35a ("drm/nouveau: allocate
kernel's notifier object at end of block") we started to overwrite some memory
after notifier buffer object (previously m2mf_ntfy was always 0, so it didn't
matter it was a value in bytes).

This reverts commit 35d9f510b67b10338161aba6229d4f55b4000f5b.
Quoth Jiri Slaby:
"It fixes mmap when IOMMU is used on x86 only, but breaks architectures
like ARM or PPC where virt_to_phys(dma_alloc_coherent) doesn't work.
We need there dma_mmap_coherent or similar (the trickery what
snd_pcm_default_mmap does but in some saner way). But this cannot be
done at this phase."

With AMD cpu family 15h a unit mask was introduced for the Data Cache
Miss event (0x041/L1-dcache-load-misses). We need to enable bit 0
(first data cache miss or streaming store to a 64 B cache line) of
this mask to proper count data cache misses.
Now we set this bit for all families and models. In case a PMU does
not implement a unit mask for event 0x041 the bit is ignored.

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.
Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
(and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.
So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
overflow).
[ Use PID_MAX_LIMIT rather than pid_max as per Eric Biederman ]

Mouse gets "stuck" after restore of PV guest but buttons are in working
condition.
If driver has been configured for ABS coordinates at start it will get
XENKBD_TYPE_POS events and then suddenly after restore it'll start getting
XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION events, that will be dropped later and they won't get
into user-space.
Regression was introduced by hunk 5 and 6 of
5ea5254aa0ad269cfbd2875c973ef25ab5b5e9db
("Input: xen-kbdfront - advertise either absolute or relative
coordinates").
Driver on restore should ask xen for request-abs-pointer again if it is
available. So restore parts that did it before 5ea5254.

This patch fixes a deadlock in GFS2 where two processes are trying
to reclaim an unlinked dinode:
One holds the inode glock and calls gfs2_lookup_by_inum trying to look
up the inode, which it can't, due to I_FREEING. The other has set
I_FREEING from vfs and is at the beginning of gfs2_delete_inode
waiting for the glock, which is held by the first. The solution is to
add a new non_block parameter to the gfs2_iget function that causes it
to return -ENOENT if the inode is being freed.

GFS2 was relying on the writepage code to write out the zeroed data for
fallocate. However, with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE set, this may be past i_size.
If it is, it will be ignored. To work around this, gfs2 now calls
write_dirty_buffer directly on the buffer_heads when FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE
is set, and it's writing past i_size.
This version is just a cleanup of my last version

658619 and ran across this:
In function gfs2_write_end, in the unlikely event that
gfs2_meta_inode_buffer returns an error, the code may forget
to unlock the transaction lock because the "failed" label
appears after the call to function gfs2_trans_end.

A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex.
However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock
operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes.
For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp
coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime
would have to wait for almost a whole second.
This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of
a mutex.
