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.

Each family may have some amount of boilerplate
locking code that applies to most, or even all,
commands.
This allows a family to handle such things in
a more generic way, by allowing it to
a) include private flags in each operation
b) specify a pre_doit hook that is called,
before an operation's doit() callback and
may return an error directly,
c) specify a post_doit hook that can undo
locking or similar things done by pre_doit,
and finally
d) include two private pointers in each info
struct passed between all these operations
including doit(). (It's two because I'll
need two in nl80211 -- can be extended.)

Some drivers cannot handle multiple retry rates specified by the rc
algorithm but instead use their own retry table (for example rt2800).
However, if such a device registers itself with a max_rates value of 1
the rc algorithm cannot make use of the extended information the device
can provide about retried rates. On the other hand, if a device
registers itself with a max_rates value > 1 the rc algorithm assumes
that the device can handle multi rate retries.
Fix this issue by introducing another hw parameter max_report_rates that
can be set to a different value then max_rates to indicate if a device
is capable of reporting more rates then specified in max_rates.

smbfs has been scheduled for removal in 2.6.27, so
maybe we can now move it to drivers/staging on the
way out.
smbfs still uses the big kernel lock and nobody
is going to fix that, so we should be getting
rid of it soon.
This removes the 32 bit compat mount and ioctl
handling code, which is implemented in common fs
code, and moves all smbfs related files into
drivers/staging/smbfs.

This splits up the sh intc core in to something more vaguely resembling
a subsystem. Most of the functionality was alread fairly well
compartmentalized, and there were only a handful of interdependencies
that needed to be resolved in the process.
This also serves as future-proofing for the genirq and sparseirq rework,
which will make some of the split out functionality wholly generic,
allowing things to be killed off in place with minimal migration pain.

mapping, an IRQ hasn't yet been made available for the specified id, so

This prepares the removal of the big kernel lock from the
file locking code. We still use the BKL as long as fs/lockd
uses it and ceph might sleep, but we can flip the definition
to a private spinlock as soon as that's done.
All users outside of fs/lockd get converted to use
lock_flocks() instead of lock_kernel() where appropriate.
Based on an earlier patch to use a spinlock from Matthew
Wilcox, who has attempted this a few times before, the
earliest patch from over 10 years ago turned it into
a semaphore, which ended up being slower than the BKL
and was subsequently reverted.
Someone should do some serious performance testing when
this becomes a spinlock, since this has caused problems
before. Using a spinlock should be at least as good
as the BKL in theory, but who knows...

Many interrupts that share a single mask source but are on different
hardware vectors will have an associated register tied to an INTEVT that
denotes the precise cause for the interrupt exception being triggered.
This introduces the concept of IRQ subgroups in the intc core, where
a virtual IRQ map is constructed for each of the pre-defined cause bits,
and a higher level chained handler takes control of the parent INTEVT.
This enables CPUs with heavily muxed IRQ vectors (especially across
disjoint blocks) to break things out in to a series of managed chained
handlers while being able to dynamically lookup and adopt the IRQs
created for them.
This is largely an opt-in interface, requiring CPUs to manually submit
IRQs for subgroup splitting, in addition to providing identifiers in
their enum maps that can be used for lazy lookup via the radix tree.

Dozen of changes in ncpfs to provide some locking other than BKL.
In readdir cache unlock and mark complete first page as last operation,
so it can be used for synchronization, as code intended.
When updating dentry name on case insensitive filesystems do at least
some basic locking...
Hold i_mutex when updating inode fields.
Push some ncp_conn_is_valid down to ncp_request. Connection can become
invalid at any moment, and fewer error code paths to test the better.
Use i_size_{read,write} to modify file size.
Set inode's backing_dev_info as ncpfs has its own special bdi.
In ioctl unbreak ioctls invoked on filesystem mounted 'ro' - tests are
for inode writeable or owner match, but were turned to filesystem
writeable and inode writeable or owner match. Also collect all permission
checks in single place.
Add some locking, and remove comments saying that it would be cool to
add some locks to the code.

This implements a scheme roughly analogous to the PowerPC virtual to
hardware IRQ mapping, which we use for IRQ to per-controller ID mapping.
This makes it possible for drivers to use the IDs directly for lookup
instead of hardcoding the vector.
The main motivation for this work is as a building block for dynamically
allocating virtual IRQs for demuxing INTC events sharing a single INTEVT
in addition to a common masking source.

The low level irq chip functions want access to irq_desc->irq_data.
Provide new functions which hand down irq_data instead of the irq
number so these functions avoid to call irq_to_desc() which is a radix
tree lookup in case of sparse irq.
This provides all the old functions except one: end(). end() is a
relict of __do_IRQ() and will just go away with the __do_IRQ() code.
The replacement for set_affinity() has an extra argument "bool
force". The reason for this is to notify the low level code, that the
move has to be done right away and cannot be delayed until the next
interrupt happens. That's necessary to handle the irq fixup on cpu
unplug in the generic code.

Low level chip functions need access to irq_desc->handler_data,
irq_desc->chip_data and irq_desc->msi_desc. We hand down the irq
number to the low level functions, so they need to lookup irq_desc.
With sparse irq this means a radix tree lookup.
We could hand down irq_desc itself, but low level chip functions have
no need to fiddle with it directly and we want to restrict access to
irq_desc further.
Preparatory patch for new chip functions.
Note, that the ugly anon union/struct is there to avoid a full tree
wide clean up for now. This is not going to last 3 years like __do_IRQ()

While doing stress tests with IP route cache disabled, and multi queue
devices, I noticed a very high contention on one rwlock used in
neighbour code.
When many cpus are trying to send frames (possibly using a high
performance multiqueue device) to the same neighbour, they fight for the
neigh->lock rwlock in order to call neigh_hh_init(), and fight on
hh->hh_refcnt (a pair of atomic_inc/atomic_dec_and_test())
But we dont need to call neigh_hh_init() for dst that are used only
once. It costs four atomic operations at least, on two contended cache
lines, plus the high contention on neigh->lock rwlock.
Introduce a new dst flag, DST_NOCACHE, that is set when dst was not
inserted in route cache.
With the stress test bench, sending 160000000 frames on one neighbour,
results are :

On UP, percpu allocations were redirected to kmalloc. This has the
following problems.
* For certain amount of allocations (determined by
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SLOTS and PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE), percpu
allocator can be used before the usual kernel memory allocator is
brought online. On SMP, this is used to initialize the kernel
memory allocator.
* percpu allocator honors alignment upto PAGE_SIZE but kmalloc()
doesn't. For example, workqueue makes use of larger alignments for
cpu_workqueues.
Currently, users of percpu allocators need to handle UP differently,
which is somewhat fragile and ugly. Other than small amount of
memory, there isn't much to lose by enabling percpu allocator on UP.
It can simply use kernel memory based chunk allocation which was added
for SMP archs w/o MMUs.
This patch removes mm/percpu_up.c, builds mm/percpu.c on UP too and
makes UP build use percpu-km. As percpu addresses and kernel
addresses are always identity mapped and static percpu variables don't
need any special treatment, nothing is arch dependent and mm/percpu.c
implements generic setup_per_cpu_areas() for UP.
