The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()
This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.
The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()
This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

thp: export maybe_mkwrite
Causes us an unsatisfiable use of pte_mkwrite in linux/mm.h
The fix is obviously not to include linux/mm.h in our pgtable.h, which

Remove the broken line wrapping handling in pdc_iodc_print().
It is broken in 3 ways :
- It doesn't keep track of the current screen position, it just
assumes that the new buffer will be printed at the begining of the
screen.
- It doesn't take in account that non printable characters won't
increase the current position on the screen.
- And last but not least, it triggers a kernel panic if a backspace
is the first char in the provided buffer :
Backtrace:
[<0000000040128ec4>] pdc_console_write+0x44/0x78
[<0000000040128f18>] pdc_console_tty_write+0x20/0x38
[<000000004032f1ac>] n_tty_write+0x2a4/0x550

[<00000000401bb630>] sys_write+0x68/0xb8
[<0000000040104eb8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14
Most terminals handle the line wrapping just fine. I've confirmed that
it works correctly on a C8000 with both vga and serial output.

The generic conversion eliminates the spurious no_ack and no_end
routines, converts all the cascaded handlers to handle_simple_irq() and
makes iosapic use a modified handle_percpu_irq() to become the same as
the CPU irq's. This isn't an essential change, but it eliminates the
mask/unmask overhead of handle_level_irq().

The essential problem we're currently having is that dino (and gsc) is a
cascaded CPU interrupt. Under the old __do_IRQ() handler, our CPU
interrupts basically did an ack followed by an end. In the new scheme,
we replaced them with level handlers which do a mask, an ack and then an
unmask (but no end). Instead, with the renaming of end to eoi, we
actually want to call the percpu flow handlers, because they actually
have all the characteristics we want.
This patch does the conversion and gets my C360 booting again.

Commit 3e4d3af501cc ("mm: stack based kmap_atomic()") overlooked the
fact that parisc uses kmap as a coherence mechanism, so even though we
have no highmem, we do need to supply our own versions of kmap (and
atomic). This patch converts the parisc kmap to the form which is
needed to keep it compiling (it's a simple prototype and name change).

This patch adds a tty driver to the PDC console. It allows the use
of ports not supported by linux as a console (e.g. serial port on
C8000.) The tty driver will not register the ttyB device if PDC console
driver has been unregistered. This happens when the early printk
console is disabled as it has not been selected as the primary console.

Having many dozens of modules, the searches down the linked
list of sections would dominate the lookup time, dwarfing
any savings from the binary search within the section.
A simple move-to-front optimisation exploits the commonality
of the code paths taken, and in simple real-world tests
on other architectures reduced the number of steps in the
search to barely more than 1.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

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.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.
This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.
This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
aren't. The list includes:
(*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
syscalls and some mount syscalls.
(*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.
(*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.

Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt). So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers. We have only one user of the API in tree. Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.
Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all. It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all. It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.
Let's remove this API.

Architectures that handle DMA-non-coherent memory need to set
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to make sure that kmalloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe: the
buffer doesn't share a cache with the others.

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures
defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN). So we
can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.
Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment. So
fully-coherent architectures should return 1. This patch also fixes this
issue.

This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
LINEMODE in the server.
There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn
off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
what state the user wants the terminal to be in.
New ioctl:
TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the
current process group of the pty.
There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty
to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.
Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.
The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
here:
