Since the beginnings in aafe4dbed0bf6cbdb2e9f03e1d42f8a540d8541d
("asm-generic: add generic versions of common headers") the generic
version of <asm/hardirq.h> defined __softirq_pending as unsigned long.
Which is different from other architectures for no apparent good reason
and was causing the following warning:
kernel/time/tick-sched.c: In function 'tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick':
kernel/time/tick-sched.c:261: warning: format '%02x' expects type 'unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'long unsigned int'
Reported and initial patch by Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com>.

[ Arnd points out that we really should make sure parisc and alpha are
ok with this, since they have also been converted to use the generic
hardirq.h file. But neither seems to use it, although parisc does
build a IRQSTAT_SIRQ_PEND #define into asm-offsets - but that also
appears unused.. - Linus ]

The asm-generic/gpio.h header uses the might_sleep() macro but doesn't
include the header for it, so any source code that might include
linux/gpio.h before linux/kernel.h can easily lead to a build failure.

The old RW_DATA_SECTION had INIT_TASK_DATA (which was
more-than-PAGE_SIZE-aligned), followed by a bunch of small alignment
stuff, followed by more PAGE_SIZE-aligned stuff, so you wasted memory
in the middle of .data re-aligning back up to PAGE_SIZE.
This patch sorts the sections by alignment requirements, which should
pack them essentially optimally.

In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a
multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a
TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call. It will still be send to the
whole process of which that thread is part.
Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX.
The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with
perf-counters. Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is
available. If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the
new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space
state right after it returns from the kernel. This is esp. convenient
for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments.
Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex
as argument:
struct f_owner_ex {
int type;
pid_t pid;
};
Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

Commit 926b663ce8215ba448960e1ff6e58b67a2c3b99b (gpiolib: allow GPIOs to
be named) already provides naming on the chip level. This patch provides
more flexibility by allowing multiple names where ever in sysfs on a per
GPIO basis.

Some ports (like the Blackfin arch) have a discontiguous memory map which
means there may be text or data that falls outside of the standard range
of the start/end text/data symbols. Creating some helper functions allows
these non-standard ports to declare these regions without adversely
affecting anyone else.

I tend to use a 'D' debugging macro a lot during debugging. When I define
it before includes I often get conflicts with kmap_types.h's use of 'D'
too. It's not very nice when a global include pollutes the name space
like this.
Rename the kmap_types.h D to KMAP_D. It is only used temporarily in the
header so has no effect on anything else.

Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that
will look like anonymous memory to user space. This is accomplished by
using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of
MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave
the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.
The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only
on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a
hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific
meaning to it.

The out-of-tree KSM used ioctls on fds cloned from /dev/ksm to register a
memory area for merging: we prefer now to use an madvise(2) interface.
This patch just defines MADV_MERGEABLE (to tell KSM it may merge pages in
this area found identical to pages in other mergeable areas) and
MADV_UNMERGEABLE (to undo that).
Most architectures use asm-generic, but alpha, mips, parisc, xtensa need
their own definitions: included here for mmotm convenience, but we'll
probably want to split this and feed pieces to arch maintainers.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Add new SIGBUS codes for reporting machine checks as signals. When
the hardware detects an uncorrected ECC error it can trigger these
signals.
This is needed for telling KVM's qemu about machine checks that happen to
guests, so that it can inject them, but might be also useful for other programs.
I find it useful in my test programs.
This patch merely defines the new types.
- Define two new si_codes for SIGBUS. BUS_MCEERR_AO and BUS_MCEERR_AR
* BUS_MCEERR_AO is for "Action Optional" machine checks, which means that some
corruption has been detected in the background, but nothing has been consumed
so far. The program can ignore those if it wants (but most programs would
already get killed)
* BUS_MCEERR_AR is for "Action Required" machine checks. This happens
when corrupted data is consumed or the application ran into an area
which has been known to be corrupted earlier. These require immediate
action and cannot just returned to. Most programs would kill themselves.
- They report the address of the corruption in the user address space
in si_addr.
- Define a new si_addr_lsb field that reports the extent of the corruption
to user space. That's currently always a (small) page. The user application
cannot tell where in this page the corruption happened.
AK: I plan to write a man page update before anyone asks.

__start_mcount_loc[] is unused after init, yet occupies RAM forever
as part of .rodata. 152kiB is typical on a 64-bit architecture. Instead,
__start_mcount_loc should be in the interval [__init_begin, __init_end)
so that the space is reclaimed after init.
__start_mcount_loc[] is generated during the load portion
of kernel build, and is used only by ftrace_init(). ftrace_init is declared
'__init' and is in .init.text, which is freed after init.
__start_mcount_loc is placed into .rodata by a call to MCOUNT_REC inside
the RO_DATA macro of include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. The array *is*
read-only, but more importantly it is not used after init. So the call to
MCOUNT_REC should be moved from RO_DATA to INIT_DATA.
This patch has been tested on x86_64 with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
which verifies that the address range never is accessed after init.

This moves flush_write_buffers() in
asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h to
arch/x86/kernel/pci-nommu.c.
The purpose of this patch is that, we can avoid defining NULL
flush_write_buffers() on IA64 and SPARC.
dma-mapping-common.h is used by X86 and IA64 (and SPARC soon)
but only X86 with CONFIG_X86_OOSTORE or CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE
actually uses flush_write_buffers(). CONFIG_X86_OOSTORE or
CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE is usable with only kernel/pci-nommu.c
(that is, not usable with other X86 IOMMU implementations such
as SWIOTLB, VT-d, etc) so we can safely move
flush_write_buffers() in asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h to
arch/x86/kernel/pci-nommu.c.

This sockopt goes in line with SO_TYPE and SO_PROTOCOL. It makes it
possible for userspace programs to pass around file descriptors — I
am referring to arguments-to-functions, but it may even work for the
fd passing over UNIX sockets — without needing to also pass the
auxiliary information (PF_INET6/IPPROTO_TCP).

Similar to SO_TYPE returning the socket type, SO_PROTOCOL allows to
retrieve the protocol used with a given socket.
I am not quite sure why we have that-many copies of socket.h, and why
the values are not the same on all arches either, but for where hex
numbers dominate, I use 0x1029 for SO_PROTOCOL as that seems to be
the next free unused number across a bunch of operating systems, or
so Google results make me want to believe. SO_PROTOCOL for others
just uses the next free Linux number, 38.

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

Allow architecture specific data in struct platform_device V3.
With this patch struct pdev_archdata is added to struct
platform_device, similar to struct dev_archdata in found in
struct device. Useful for architecture code that needs to
keep extra data associated with each platform device.
Struct pdev_archdata is different from dev.platform_data, the
convention is that dev.platform_data points to driver-specific
data. It may or may not be required by the driver. The format
of this depends on driver but is the same across architectures.
The structure pdev_archdata is a place for architecture specific
data. This data is handled by architecture specific code (for
example runtime PM), and since it is architecture specific it
should _never_ be touched by device driver code. Exactly like
struct dev_archdata but for platform devices.

The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss
input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end]. On all
architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and
__bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is
within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end]. Relatedly, the example
code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined
twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the
BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro.
Another problem with the current macros is that several
architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before
__bss_stop in their linker scripts. The BSS_SECTION macro currently
hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument. It also
ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that.
mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by
this patch. It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted
to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was
a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start
alignment). So fix this as well.
I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one. Also CCing Paul, since
he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use
BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.

Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
considerable differences. This led to linker script for each arch
implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
tedious and adding new entries error-prone.
This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro. As ld
uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.
ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.

Pull linus#master to merge PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES and alpha build fix

alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
modules to work around addressing range limitation. This is done via
generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
assembler to generate external reference. This happens behind the
compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
in modules are unused.
This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
__used can't be used for declaration. Also, in the process,
PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.
This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules. This
also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).
However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent
on the size of the previous sections.
Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
the ctors contents are properly aligned. However the extra zeroes at the
beginning aren't expected by the code. When walking the functions
pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
random jumps. So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
aligned as well.

We recently added a INIT_TASK(align) in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h,
but there is already a macro INIT_TASK in include/linux/init_task.h, which
is quite confusing. We should switch the macro in the linker script to
INIT_TASK_DATA. (Sorry that I missed this in reviewing the patch). Since
the macros are new, there is only one user of the INIT_TASK in
vmlinux.lds.h, arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S.
However, we are currently using INIT_TASK_DATA for laying down an entire
.data.init_task section. So rename that to INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION.
I would be worried about changing the meaning of INIT_TASK_DATA, but the
old INIT_TASK_DATA implementation had no users, and in fact if anyone had
tried to use it, it would have failed to compile because it didn't pass
the alignment to the old INIT_TASK.

RW_DATA_SECTION is defined to take 4 different alignment parameters,
while NOSAVE_DATA currently uses a fixed PAGE_SIZE alignment as noted
in the comments.
There are presently no in-tree users of this at present, and I just
stumbled across this while implementing the simplified script on a new
architecture port, which subsequently resulted in a syntax error.

.discard is not thrown away while linking modules. Make every arch
