b50516fc20 x86: CPA remove bogus NX clear
In split_large_page we clear the NX bit for the new split ptes, but we
need to preserve the original setting of it for the split ptes.

3bc9a77e84 x86: rename module scx200_32 to scx200
The module scx200 were renamed to scx200_32 by the
merge of the 32 and 64 bit x86 arch trees.

Keep the _32 prefix on the .c file as it is 32 bit
specific and fix the module name in the Makefile.

3a900d89db x86: restore correct module name for apm
The apm module were renamed to apm_32 during the merge of 32 and 64 bit
x86 which is unfortunate. As apm is 32 bit specific we like to keep the
_32 in the filename but the module should be named apm.

Fix this in the Makefile.

      x86: fix ioremap RAM check

this check was too strict and caused an ioremap() failure.

the problem is due to the somewhat unclean way of how the GART code
reserves a memory range for its aperture, and how it utilizes it
later on.

Allow RAM pages to be ioremap()-ed too, as long as they are reserved.

4cd9d6f774 [ARM] 4736/1: Export atags to userspace and allow kexec to use customised atags
Currently, the atags used by kexec are fixed to the ones originally used
to boot the kernel. This is less than ideal as changing the commandline,
initrd and other options would be a useful feature.

This patch exports the atags used for the current kernel to userspace
through an "atags" file in procfs. The presence of the file is
controlled by its own Kconfig option and cleans up several ifdef blocks
into a separate file. The tags for the new kernel are assumed to be at
a fixed location before the kernel image itself. The location of the
tags used to boot the original kernel is unimportant and no longer
saved.

fa3218d859 [ARM] 4660/3: at91: allow selecting UART for early kernel messages
Currently early kernel messages, i.e., those from uncompression, go to the
debugging UART. And if it is enabled in the platform configuration, but
not initialized by the bootloader, the machine hangs, waiting for UART
status change. Besides, having those messages on another UART - typically
the console UART - may be preferrable. This patch allows selecting the
UART in kernel configuration.

e83aff58bf [ARM] 4739/1: at91sam9263: make gpio bank C and D irqs work
On the at91sam9263, IRQs for GPIO banks C and D don't currently work.
This is because banks C, D, and E share one clock and toplevel IRQ, but
the AT91 code setting up and handling GPIO IRQs expects no sharing.
This patch:

 - Fixes GPIO IRQ setup and handling to cope with GPIO banks that are
   shared like on sam9263 chips, by setting up a list of those banks
   and making the IRQ dispatching logic scan that list.

 - Precomputes the address of each bank's registers, saving it with
   other per-bank data so that it no longer needs to be constantly
   recomputed during IRQs and other GPIO operations.  That shrinks
   hot-path code, while helping the GPIO bank irq updates.

 - Fixes a minor bug where IRQ_TYPE_NONE was wrongly rejected (it just
   means "use the default", which is "both edges" here).

  - kprobes

and

init/Kconfig for architecture independent options
  - profiling
  - markers

Remove the "Instrumentation Support" menu. Everything moves to "General setup".
Delete the kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation file.

3f550096de Add HAVE_KPROBES
Linus:

On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like

        depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32

really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.

It would be much better to do

        depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES

in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
have a

        bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                default y

in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...

Changelog:

Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
it, I realize that I should have told you to just use

        config KPROBES_SUPPORT
                def_bool y

instead, which is a bit denser.

We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
what "def_bool" is there for...

- Use HAVE_KPROBES
- Use a select

- Yet another update :
Moving to HAVE_* now.

- Update ARM for kprobes support.

fb32e03fdc Create arch/Kconfig
Puts the content of arch/Kconfig in the "General setup" menu.

Linus:

I don't think it's a good idea to go back to making it per-architecture,
although that extensive "depends on <list-of-archiectures-here>" might
indicate that there certainly is room for cleanup there.

And I don't think it's wrong keeping it in kernel/Kconfig.xyz per se, I
just think it's wrong to (a) lump the code together when it really doesn't
necessarily need to and (b) show it to users as some kind of choice that
is tied together (whether it then has common code or not).

On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like

        depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32

Sam Ravnborg:

Stuff it into a new file: arch/Kconfig
We can then extend this file to include all the 'trailing'
Kconfig things that are anyway equal for all ARCHs.

But it should be kept clean - so if we introduce such a file
then we should use ARCH_HAS_whatever in the arch specific Kconfig
files to enable stuff that is not shared.

[...]

The above suggestion is actually not exactly the best way to do it...
First the naming..
A quick grep shows following usage today (in Kconfig files)
ARCH_HAS        51
ARCH_SUPPORTS   4
HAVE_ARCH       7

ARCH_HAS is the clear winner.

In the common Kconfig file do:

config FOO
        depends on ARCH_HAS_FOO
        bool "bla bla"

config ARCH_HAS_FOO
        def_bool n

In the arch specific Kconfig file in a suitable place do:

config SUITABLE_OPTION
        select ARCH_HAS_FOO

The naming of ARCH_HAS_ is fixed and shall be:
ARCH_HAS_<config option it will enable>

Only a single line added pr. architecture.
And we will end up with a (maybe even commented) list of trivial selects.

- Yet another update :

Moving to HAVE_* now.

c0ffa3a951 Fix ARM to play nicely with generic Instrumentation menu
The conflicting commit for
move-kconfiginstrumentation-to-arch-kconfig-and-init-kconfig.patch
is the ARM fix from Linus :

commit 38ad9aebe7

He just seemed to agree that my approach (just putting the missing ARM
config options in arch/arm/Kconfig) works too. The main advantage it has
is that it is smaller, does not need a cleanup in the future and does
not break the following patches unnecessarily.

It's just been discussed here

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/15/267

However, Linus might prefer to stay with his own patch and I would
totally understand it that late in the release cycle. Therefore I submit
this for the next release cycle.
