Christian Borntraeger reported that reinstating cond_resched() with
CONFIG_PREEMPT caused a performance regression on lmbench:
For example select file 500:
23 microseconds
32 microseconds
and that's really because we totally unnecessarily do the cond_resched()
in the innermost loop of select(), which is just silly.
This moves it out from the innermost loop (which only ever loops ove the
bits in a single "unsigned long" anyway), which makes the performance
regression go away.

Mark rtc sa1100 driver as wakeup source before registering it.
rtc_device_register evaluates device_can_wakeup(rtc->dev.parent) and
supresses the creation of /sys/class/rtc/rtcX/wakealarm if
device_can_wakeup is not (yet) true.

This issue was found by Krzysztof Helt and Eric Miao.
pxafb had issues in the order with which it cleaned up if errors occurred
during a probe. This patch reorders the failure handling sequence and also
frees the cmap and clk.

This bug was found and fixed by Lothar Wassmann.
Previously, the use of ifndef CONFIG_MODULES made it such that pxafb command
line option parsing was dependent on whether the kernel was built with module
support. The ifndef should be MODULE so that parsing is dependent only on
whether the driver is built-in or not.

The zonelist patches caused the loop that checks for available
objects in permitted zones to not terminate immediately. One object
per zone per allocation may be allocated and then abandoned.
Break the loop when we have successfully allocated one object.

Which was removed in the hope that generic legacy IDE quirk in
drivers/pci/probe.c is sufficient for Cypress IDE.
It isn't, as this controller has non-standard BAR layout:
secondary channel registers are in the BAR0-1 of the second
PCI function - not in the BAR2-3 of the same function, as the
generic quirk routine assumes.

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.

With built-in scsi disk driver, the final link fails with a following
error:
`.exit.text' referenced in section `.rodata' of drivers/built-in.o:
defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o
This happens with -Os (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y) with all gcc-4
versions, and also with -O2 and gcc-4.3.
The problem is in sd.c:sd_major() being inlined into __exit function
exit_sd(), and the compiler generating a jump table in .rodata section
for the 'switch' statement in sd_major(). So we have references to
discarded section.
Fixed with a big hammer in the form of -fno-jump-tables.
Note that jump tables vs. discarded sections is a generic problem,
other architectures are just lucky not to suffer from it. But with
a slightly more complex switch/case statement it can be reproduced
on x86 as well. So maybe at some point we should consider
-fno-jump-tables as a generic compile option...

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.
