CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.
This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
and __devexit from these drivers.
Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
"A few new features this merge-window. The most important one is
probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with
dma_mapping_error by the device driver. This requires minor changes
to some architectures which make use of dma-debug. Most of these
changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers.
Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor
the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a
hardware erratum.
The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's
tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree. The
conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is
deleted in the arm-soc tree. It is safe to delete the file too so
solve the conflict. Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in
the common clock framework migration. A missing hunk from the patch
in the IOMMU tree will be submitted as a seperate patch when the

This function is used by sparc, powerpc tile and arm64 for compat support.
The patch adds a generic implementation with a wrapper for PowerPC to do
the u32->int sign extension.
The reason for a single patch covering powerpc, tile, sparc and arm64 is
to keep it bisectable, otherwise kernel building may fail with mismatched

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
"All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that
stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.
A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
- kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
or kernel_execve():
kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
successful do_execve() before returning.
kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
do transition to user mode anymore.
As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
architecture-independent.
- daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
- struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.
- sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
kernel/fork.c now."

This bug-fix makes sure that of_iomap is defined extern for sparc so that the
sparc-specific implementation of_iomap is once again used when including
include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. OF_GPIO that is now available for
sparc relies on this.
The bug was inadvertently introduced in a850a75, "of/address: add empty static
inlines for !CONFIG_OF", that added a static dummy inline for of_iomap when
!CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS. However, CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never defined for sparc, but
there is a sparc-specific implementation /arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c.
This fix takes the same approach as 0bce04b that solved the equivalent problem
for of_address_to_resource.

In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace,
add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded
in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on
exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously
interlaced.
Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large
timestamp values.

for sparc again
This bug-fix makes sure that of_address_to_resource is defined extern for sparc
so that the sparc-specific implementation of of_address_to_resource() is once
again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. A
number of drivers in mainline relies on this function working for sparc.
The bug was introduced in a850a7554442f08d3e910c6eeb4ee216868dda1e, "of/address:
add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF". Contrary to that commit title, the
static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never
defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in
include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in
drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However,
for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in
arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c

In atomic backoff and cpu_relax(), use the pause instruction
found on SPARC-T4 and later.
It makes the cpu strand unselectable for the given number of
cycles, unless an intervening disrupting trap occurs.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

For atomic backoff, we just loop over an exponentially backed off
counter. This is extremely ineffective as it doesn't actually yield
the cpu strand so that other competing strands can use the cpu core.
In cpus previous to SPARC-T4 we have to do this in a slightly hackish
way, by doing an operation with no side effects that also happens to
mark the strand as unavailable.
The mechanism we choose for this is three reads of the %ccr
(condition-code) register into %g0 (the zero register).
SPARC-T4 has an explicit "pause" instruction, and we'll make use of
that in a subsequent commit.
Yield strands also in cpu_relax(). We really should have done this a
very long time ago.

The Montgomery Multiply, Montgomery Square, and Multiple-Precision
Multiply instructions work by loading a combination of the floating
point and multiple register windows worth of integer registers
with the inputs.
These values are 64-bit. But for 32-bit userland processes we only
save the low 32-bits of each integer register during a register spill.
This is because the register window save area is in the user stack and
has a fixed layout.
Therefore, the only way to use these instruction in 32-bit mode is to
perform the following sequence:
1) Load the top-32bits of a choosen integer register with a sentinel,
say "-1". This will be in the outer-most register window.
The idea is that we're trying to see if the outer-most register
window gets spilled, and thus the 64-bit values were truncated.
2) Load all the inputs for the montmul/montsqr/mpmul instruction,
down to the inner-most register window.
3) Execute the opcode.
4) Traverse back up to the outer-most register window.
5) Check the sentinel, if it's still "-1" store the results.
Otherwise retry the entire sequence.
This retry is extremely troublesome. If you're just unlucky and an
interrupt or other trap happens, it'll push that outer-most window to
the stack and clear the sentinel when we restore it.
We could retry forever and never make forward progress if interrupts
arrive at a fast enough rate (consider perf events as one example).
So we have do limited retries and fallback to software which is
extremely non-deterministic.
Luckily it's very straightforward to provide a mechanism to let
32-bit applications use a 64-bit stack. Stacks in 64-bit mode are
biased by 2047 bytes, which means that the lowest bit is set in the
actual %sp register value.
So if we see bit zero set in a 32-bit application's stack we treat
it like a 64-bit stack.
Runtime detection of such a facility is tricky, and cumbersome at
best. For example, just trying to use a biased stack and seeing if it
works is hard to recover from (the signal handler will need to use an
alt stack, plus something along the lines of longjmp). Therefore, we
add a system call to report a bitmask of arch specific features like
this in a cheap and less hairy way.
With help from Andy Polyakov.

This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.
Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding. The
lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation. This is possible
because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
whatever encoding scheme we want. We just have to make the TLB miss
assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.
set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table. In the second regime
we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.
We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
in the future.

support, which works much better if our PMDs cover 4MB instead of 8MB.
What we do is have a one-behind cache for PTE table allocations in the
mm struct.
This logic triggers only on allocations. For example, we don't try to
keep track of free'd up page table blocks in the style that the s390 port
does.
There were only two slightly annoying aspects to this change:
1) Changing pgtable_t to be a "pte_t *". There's all of this special
logic in the TLB free paths that needed adjustments, as did the
PMD populate interfaces.
2) init_new_context() needs to zap the pointer, since the mm struct
just gets copied from the parent on fork.

The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page
support.
Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB.
The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE
!= PMD_SIZE.
So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead of a full page.
We can still map properly the whole supported virtual address range which
on sparc64 requires 44 bits. Add a compile time CPP test which ensures
that this requirement is always met.
There is a minor inefficiency added by this change. We only use half of
the page for PTE tables. It's not trivial to use only half of the page
yet still get all of the pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() stuff working
properly. It is doable, and that will come in a subsequent change.

Narrowing the scope of the page size configurations will make the
transparent hugepage changes much simpler.
In the end what we really want to do is have the kernel support multiple
huge page sizes and use whatever is appropriate as the context dictactes.

The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
pages via free_pages_check. A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
userspace.
This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
pool.
This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
is freed into the pool.

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"This has three changes for asm-generic that did not really fit into
any other branch as normal asm-generic changes do. One is a fix for a
build warning, the other two are more interesting:
* A patch from Mark Brown to allow using the common clock
infrastructure on all architectures, so we can use the clock API in
architecture independent device drivers.
* The UAPI split patches from David Howells for the asm-generic
files. There are other architecture specific series that are going
through the arch maintainer tree and that depend on this one.
There may be a few small merge conflicts between Mark's patch and the
following arch header file split patches. In each case the solution
will be to keep the new "generic-y += clkdev.h" line, even if it ends
up being the only line in the Kbuild file."

Pull sparc changes from David S Miller:
"There is an attempt to fix a bad interaction between syscall tracing
and force_successful_syscall() from Al Viro, but it needs to be redone
as it introduced regressions and thus had to be reverted for now.
Al is working on an updated version.
But what we do have here are some significant bzero/memset
improvements for Niagara-4. An 8K page can be cleared in around 600
cycles, because we essentially have a store that behaves like
powerpc's dcbz that we can actually make real use of."

This reverts commit 40138249c3b7a0762155216b963ec7fd4d09b5b4 and
ffa9009c9828db3f74178e459cfbca6e77ff5dd9.
There are problems with how the flag bytes were rearranged, in
particular we really can't move values down into the lowest
16 bits since those are used for individual state bits.

This adds optimized memset/bzero/page-clear routines for Niagara-4.
We basically can do what powerpc has been able to do for a decade (via
the "dcbz" instruction), which is use cache line clearing stores for
bzero and memsets with a 'c' argument of zero.
As long as we make the cache initializing store to each 32-byte
subblock of the L2 cache line, it works.
As with other Niagara-4 optimized routines, the key is to make sure to
avoid any usage of the %asi register, as reads and writes to it cost
at least 50 cycles.
For the user clear cases, we don't use these new routines, we use the
Niagara-1 variants instead. Those have to use %asi in an unavoidable
way.
A Niagara-4 8K page clear costs just under 600 cycles.
Add definitions of the MRU variants of the cache initializing store
ASIs. By default, cache initializing stores install the line as Least
Recently Used. If we know we're going to use the data immediately
(which is true for page copies and clears) we can use the Most
Recently Used variant, to decrease the likelyhood of the lines being
evicted before they get used.

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.
Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
which have it. Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
linux/compat.h.
Most of the copies are verbatim. compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
__compat_uid[32]_t. compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
had it moved up). compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
to asm/compat.h.

Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for
things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
architectures.
We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
personality flags across exec().
This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently
by commits f9783ec862ea ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on
exec") and 59e4c3a2fe9c ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on
exec") in a similar way already).
