f3f3149f35 x86: use cpu_khz for loops_per_jiffy calculation, cleanup
As suggested by Ingo, remove all references to tsc from init/calibrate.c

TSC is x86 specific, and using tsc in variable names in a generic file should
be avoided. lpj_tsc is now called lpj_fine, since it is related to fine tuning
of lpj value. Also tsc_rate_*  is called timer_rate_*

06e0564566 KVM: close timer injection race window in __vcpu_run
If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before
local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such
timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit.

It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done
with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen.

For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.

3da757daf8 x86: use cpu_khz for loops_per_jiffy calculation
On the x86 platform we can use the value of tsc_khz computed during tsc
calibration to calculate the loops_per_jiffy value. Its very important
to keep the error in lpj values to minimum as any error in that may
result in kernel panic in check_timer. In virtualization environment, On
a highly overloaded host the guest delay calibration may sometimes
result in errors beyond the ~50% that timer_irq_works can handle,
resulting in the guest panicking.

Does some formating changes to lpj_setup code to now have a single
printk to print the bogomips value.

We do this only for the boot processor because the AP's can have
different base frequencies or the BIOS might boot a AP at a different
frequency.

ecea656d1d ftrace: freeze kprobe'd records
Let records identified as being kprobe'd be marked as "frozen". The trouble
with records which have a kprobe installed on their mcount call-site is
that they don't get updated. So if such a function which is currently being
traced gets its tracing disabled due to a new filter rule (or because it
was added to the notrace list) then it won't be updated and continue being
traced. This patch allows scanning of all frozen records during tracing to
check if they should be traced.

The Marvell Discovery Duo (MV78xx0) is a family of ARM SoCs featuring
(depending on the model) one or two Feroceon CPU cores with 512K of L2
cache and VFP coprocessors running at (depending on the model) between
800 MHz and 1.2 GHz, and features a DDR2 controller, two PCIe
interfaces that can each run either in x4 or quad x1 mode, three USB
2.0 interfaces, two 3Gb/s SATA II interfaces, a SPI interface, two
TWSI interfaces, a crypto accelerator, IDMA/XOR engines, a SPI
interface, four UARTs, and depending on the model, two or four gigabit
ethernet interfaces.

This patch adds basic support for the platform, and allows booting
on the MV78x00 development board, with functional UARTs, SATA, PCIe,
GigE and USB ports.

99c6dc117d [ARM] Feroceon: L2 cache support
This patch adds support for the unified Feroceon L2 cache controller
as found in e.g. the Marvell Kirkwood and Marvell Discovery Duo
families of ARM SoCs.

Note that:

- Page table walks are outer uncacheable on Kirkwood and Discovery
  Duo, since the ARMv5 spec provides no way to indicate outer
  cacheability of page table walks (specifying it in TTBR[4:3] is
  an ARMv6+ feature).

  This requires adding L2 cache clean instructions to
  proc-feroceon.S (dcache_clean_area(), set_pte()) as well as to
  tlbflush.h ({flush,clean}_pmd_entry()).  The latter case is handled
  by defining a new TLB type (TLB_FEROCEON) which is almost identical
  to the v4wbi one but provides a TLB_L2CLEAN_FR flag.

- The Feroceon L2 cache controller supports L2 range (i.e. 'clean L2
  range by MVA' and 'invalidate L2 range by MVA') operations, and this
  patch uses those range operations for all Linux outer cache
  operations, as they are faster than the regular per-line operations.

  L2 range operations are not interruptible on this hardware, which
  avoids potential livelock issues, but can be bad for interrupt
  latency, so there is a compile-time tunable (MAX_RANGE_SIZE) which
  allows you to select the maximum range size to operate on at once.
  (Valid range is between one cache line and one 4KiB page, and must
  be a multiple of the line size.)

2239aff6ab [ARM] cache align destination pointer when copying memory for some processors
The implementation for memory copy functions on ARM had a (disabled)
provision for aligning the source pointer before loading registers with
data.  Turns out that aligning the _destination_ pointer is much more
useful, as the read side is already sufficiently helped with the use of
preload.

So this changes the definition of the CALGN() macro to target the
destination pointer instead, and turns it on for Feroceon processors
where the gain is very noticeable.

Receiving packets while we are cleaning up a network namespace is a
racy proposition. It is possible when the packet arrives that we have
removed some but not all of the state we need to fully process it.  We
have the choice of either playing wack-a-mole with the cleanup routines
or simply dropping packets when we don't have a network namespace to
handle them.

Since the check looks inexpensive in netif_receive_skb let's just
drop the incoming packets.

d559d4a24a alpha: fix compile failures with gcc-4.3 (bug #10438)
Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings
about static functions and objects being referenced from
non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction
with our -Werror.

We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline",
as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline"
logic is crucial for generic kernel build.
So
- just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline"
  functions are also "extern inline";
- use "static inline", wherever it's possible.

traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array
bounds-checking.

TODO: add "gnu_inline" attribute to all our "extern inline"
functions to ensure desired behaviour with future compilers.

9267b4b388 alpha: fix module load failures on smp (bug #10926)
To calculate addresses of locally defined variables, GCC uses 32-bit
displacement from the GP. Which doesn't work for per cpu variables in
modules, as an offset to the kernel per cpu area is way above 4G.

The workaround is to force allocation of a GOT entry for per cpu variable
using ldq instruction with a 'literal' relocation.
I had to use custom asm/percpu.h, as a required argument magic doesn't
work with asm-generic/percpu.h macros.

0b28067688 Add cycle_kernel_lock()
A number of driver functions are so obviously trivial that they do not need
the big kernel lock - at least not overtly.  It turns out that the
acquisition of the BKL in driver open() functions can perform a sort of
poor-hacker's serialization function, delaying the open operation until the
driver is certain to have completed its initialization.  Add a simple
cycle_kernel_lock() function for these cases to make it clear that there is
no need to *hold* the BKL, just to be sure that we can acquire it.

I dunno. Here's a untested (!!) patch that turns constant-bit
set/clear_bit ops into byte mask ops (lock orb/andb).

It's not exactly pretty. The reason for using the byte versions is that a
locked op is serialized in the memory pipeline anyway, so there are no
forwarding issues (that could slow down things when we access things with
different sizes), and the byte ops are a lot smaller than 32-bit and
particularly 64-bit ops (big constants, and the 64-bit ops need the REX
prefix byte too).

[ Side note: I wonder if we should turn the "test_bit()" C version into a
  "char *" version too.. It could actually help with alias analysis, since
  char pointers can alias anything. So it might be the RightThing(tm) to
  do for multiple reasons. I dunno. It's a separate issue. ]

It does actually shrink the kernel image a bit (a couple of hundred bytes
on the text segment for my everything-compiled-in image), and while it's
totally untested the (admittedly few) code generation points I looked at
seemed sane. And "lock orb" should be noticeably faster than "lock bts".

If somebody wants to play with it, go wild. I didn't do "change_bit()",
because nobody sane uses that thing anyway. I guarantee nothing. And if it
breaks, nobody saw me do anything.  You can't prove this email wasn't sent
by somebody who is good at forging smtp.

This does require a gcc that is recent enough for "__builtin_constant_p()"
to work in an inline function, but I suspect our kernel requirements are
already higher than that. And if you do have an old gcc that is supported,
the worst that would happen is that the optimization doesn't trigger.
