The AM34 processor has an atomic operation that's the equivalent of LL/SC on
other architectures. However, rather than being done through a pair of
instructions, it's driven by writing to a pair of memory-mapped CPU control
registers.
One set of these registers (AARU/ADRU/ASRU) is available for use by userspace,
but for userspace to access them a PTE must be set up to cover the region.
This is done by dedicating the first vmalloc region page to this purpose,
setting the permissions on its PTE such that userspace can access the page.
glibc is hardcoded to expect the registers to be there.
The way atomic ops are done through these registers is straightforward:
(1) Write the address of the word you wish to access into AARU. This causes
the CPU to go and fetch that word and load it into ADRU. The status bits
are also cleared in ASRU.
(2) The current data value is read from the ADRU register and modified.
(3) To alter the data in RAM, the revised data is written back to the ADRU
register, which causes the CPU to attempt to write it back.
(4) The ASRU.RW flag (ASRU read watch), ASRU.LW flag (bus lock watch),
ASRU.IW (interrupt watch) and the ASRU.BW (bus error watch) flags then
must be checked to confirm that the operation wasn't aborted. If any of
the watches have been set to true, the operation was aborted.

Prevent cnt32_to_63() from being preempted in sched_clock() because it may
read its internal counter, get preempted, get delayed for more than the half
period of the 'TSC' and then write the internal counter, thus corrupting it.
Whilst some callers of sched_clock() have interrupts disabled or hold
spinlocks, not all do, and so preemption must be held here.
Note that sched_clock() is called from lockdep, but that shouldn't be a problem
because although preempt_disable() calls into lockdep, lockdep has a recursion
counter to deal with this.

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.
The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:
#define __KM_PTE \
(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \
in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
KM_PTE0)
and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.
The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.
For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:
#define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)
to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

In the MN10300 arch, we occasionally see an assertion being tripped in
alloc_cwqs() at the following line:
/* just in case, make sure it's actually aligned */
---> BUG_ON(!IS_ALIGNED(wq->cpu_wq.v, align));
return wq->cpu_wq.v ? 0 : -ENOMEM;
The values are:
wa->cpu_wq.v => 0x902776e0
align => 0x100
and align is calculated by the following:
const size_t align = max_t(size_t, 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS,
__alignof__(unsigned long long));
This is because the pointer in question (wq->cpu_wq.v) loses some of its
lower bits to control flags, and so the object it points to must be
sufficiently aligned to avoid the need to use those bits for pointing to
things.
Currently, 4 control bits and 4 colour bits are used in normal
circumstances, plus a debugging bit if debugging is set. This requires
the cpu_workqueue_struct struct to be at least 256 bytes aligned (or 512
bytes aligned with debugging).
PERCPU() alignment on MN13000, however, is only 32 bytes as set in
vmlinux.lds.S. So we set this to PAGE_SIZE (4096) to match most other
arches and stick a comment in alloc_cwqs() for anyone else who triggers
the assertion.

This patch converts mn10300 to use asm-generic/ioctls.h instead of its
own version.
The differences between the arch-specific version and the generic

- The generic version provides TIOCGRS485 and TIOCSRS485 but they
are unused by any driver available for this architecture.
- The generic version adds support for termiox

Fix the IRQ flag handling naming. In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
it maps:
local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
...
and under the other configuration, it maps:
raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
...
This is quite confusing. There should be one set of names expected of the
arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
by users of this facility.
Change this to have the arch provide:
flags = arch_local_save_flags()
flags = arch_local_irq_save()
arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
arch_local_irq_disable()
arch_local_irq_enable()
arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
arch_irqs_disabled()
arch_safe_halt()
Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:
raw_local_save_flags(flags)
raw_local_irq_save(flags)
raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
raw_local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_enable()
raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
raw_irqs_disabled()
raw_safe_halt()
with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:
local_save_flags(flags)
local_irq_save(flags)
local_irq_restore(flags)
local_irq_disable()
local_irq_enable()
irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
irqs_disabled()
safe_halt()
with tracing included if enabled.
The arch functions can now all be inline functions rather than some of them
having to be macros.

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.
So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.
Future fixups:
- move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
belongs.
- get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
(called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
for other reasons.

flush_icache_range() is given virtual addresses to describe the region. It
deals with these by attempting to translate them through the current set of
page tables.
This is fine for userspace memory and vmalloc()'d areas as they are governed by
page tables. However, since the regions above 0x80000000 aren't translated
through the page tables by the MMU, the kernel doesn't bother to set up page
tables for them (see paging_init()).
This means flush_icache_range() as it stands cannot be used to flush regions of
the VM area between 0x80000000 and 0x9fffffff where the kernel resides if the
data cache is operating in WriteBack mode.
To fix this, make flush_icache_range() first check for addresses in the upper
half of VM space and deal with them appropriately, before dealing with any
range in the page table mapped area.
Ordinarily, this is not a problem, but it has the capacity to make kprobes and
kgdb malfunction. It should not affect gdbstub, signal frame setup or module
loading as gdb has its own flush functions, and the others take place in the
page table mapped area only.

When caching is disabled on the MN10300 arch, the sys_cacheflush()
function is removed by conditional stuff in the makefiles, but is still
referred to by the syscall table.
Provide a null version that just returns 0 when caching is disabled (or
-EINVAL if the arguments are silly).
