b1f3bb494e m68k: Remove BKL from rtc implementations
m68k does not support SMP. The access to the rtc is already serialized
with local_irq_save/restore which is sufficient on UP.

The open() protection in arch/m68k/mvme16x/rtc.c is not pretty but
sufficient on UP and safe w/o the BKL.

open() in arch/m68k/bvme6000/rtc.c can do with the same atomic logic
as arch/m68k/mvme16x/rtc.c

1967936d68 perf options: Check v type in OPT_U?INTEGER
To avoid problems like the one fixed by Stephane Eranian in 3de29ca, now
we'll got this instead:

	bench/sched-messaging.c:259: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
	bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’

Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel
hackers should be already used to this.

With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected
variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER.

Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that
review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

78f622377f powerpc/fsl-booke: Move loadcam_entry back to asm code to fix SMP ftrace
When we build with ftrace enabled its possible that loadcam_entry would
have used the stack pointer (even though the code doesn't need it).  We
call loadcam_entry in __secondary_start before the stack is setup.  To
ensure that loadcam_entry doesn't use the stack pointer the easiest
solution is to just have it in asm code.

78e2e68a2b powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix InstructionTLBError execute permission check
In CONFIG_PTE_64BIT the PTE format has unique permission bits for user
and supervisor execute.  However on !CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we overload the
supervisor bit to imply user execute with _PAGE_USER set.  This allows
us to use the same permission check mask for user or supervisor code on
!CONFIG_PTE_64BIT.

However, on CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we map _PAGE_EXEC to _PAGE_BAP_UX so we
need a different permission mask based on the fault coming from a kernel
address or user space.

Without unique permission masks we see issues like the following with
modules:

Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch

0aedc00851 powerpc/85xx: Fix P1020RDB boot hang due USB2
Since USB2 is shared with local bus, either local bus or USB2

have to disable USB2, otherwise kernel hangs:

Note that U-Boot doesn't clear 'status' property when it enables
USB2, so we have to comment out the whole node.

To enable USB2, one can issue
'setenv hwconfig usb2:dr_mode=<host|peripheral>' command at the
U-Boot prompt.

3de29cab1f perf record: Fix bug mismatch with -c option definition
The -c option defines the user requested sampling period. It was implemented
using an unsigned int variable but the type of the option was OPT_LONG. Thus,
the option parser was overwriting memory belonging to other variables, namely
the mmap_pages leading to a zero page sampling buffer. The bug was exposed only
when compiling at -O0, probably because the compiler was padding variables at
higher optimization levels.

This patch fixes this problem by declaring user_interval as u64. This also
avoids wrap-around issues for large period on 32-bit systems.

Commiter note:

Made it use OPT_U64(user_interval) after implementing OPT_U64 in the
previous patch.

We create two constants, write them out to the stack, read them straight back
in and sign extend them. What a mess.

It turns out this bad code is a result of us defining atomic_t as a
volatile int.

We removed the volatile attribute from the powerpc atomic_t definition years
ago, but commit ea43546750 (atomic_t: unify all
arch definitions) added it back in.

To dig up an old quote from Linus:

And screw up it does :)

With the volatile removed, we see much more reasonable code generation:

c00000000051f5b8:       3b 60 00 01     li      r27,1
...
c00000000051f5c0:       3b 80 00 00     li      r28,0
...

c00000000051fc7c:       7c 20 04 ac     lwsync
c00000000051fc80:       7c 00 f8 28     lwarx   r0,0,r31
c00000000051fc84:       7c 00 d8 00     cmpw    r0,r27
c00000000051fc88:       40 c2 00 10     bne-    c00000000051fc98
c00000000051fc8c:       7f 80 f9 2d     stwcx.  r28,0,r31
c00000000051fc90:       40 c2 ff f0     bne+    c00000000051fc80
c00000000051fc94:       4c 00 01 2c     isync

5547e8aac6 writeback: Update dirty flags in two steps
Filesystems with delalloc support may dirty inode during writepages.
As result inode will have dirty metadata flags even after write_inode.
In fact we have two dedicated functions for proper data and metadata
writeback. It is reasonable to separate flags updates in two stages.

e913fc825d writeback: fix WB_SYNC_NONE writeback from umount
When umount calls sync_filesystem(), we first do a WB_SYNC_NONE
writeback to kick off writeback of pending dirty inodes, then follow
that up with a WB_SYNC_ALL to wait for it. Since umount already holds
the sb s_umount mutex, WB_SYNC_NONE ends up doing nothing and all
writeback happens as WB_SYNC_ALL. This can greatly slow down umount,
since WB_SYNC_ALL writeback is a data integrity operation and thus
a bigger hammer than simple WB_SYNC_NONE. For barrier aware file systems
it's a lot slower.

d1e86d64bc ARM: 6074/1: oprofile: convert from sysdev to platform device
This is a reworking of an original patch posted by Aaro Koskinen:

oprofile does not work with PM, because sysdev_suspend() is done with
interrupts disabled and oprofile needs a mutex. Implementing oprofile
as a platform device solves this problem.

fe166148f6 ARM: 6073/1: oprofile: remove old files and update KConfig
Enable hardware perf-events if CPU_HAS_PMU and select
HAVE_OPROFILE if HAVE_PERF_EVENTS. If no hardware support
is present, OProfile will fall back to timer mode.

This patch also removes the old OProfile drivers in favour
of the code implemented by perf.

8c1fc96f6f ARM: 6072/1: oprofile: use perf-events framework as backend
There are currently two hardware performance monitoring subsystems in
the kernel for ARM: OProfile and perf-events. This creates the
following problems:

1.) Duplicate PMU accessor code. Inevitable code drift may lead to
bugs in one framework that are fixed in the other.

2.) Locking issues. OProfile doesn't reprogram hardware counters
between profiling runs if the events to be monitored have not been
changed. This means that other profiling frameworks cannot use the
counters if OProfile is in use.

3.) Due to differences in the two frameworks, it may not be possible to
compare the results obtained by OProfile with those obtained by perf.

This patch removes the OProfile PMU driver code and replaces it with
calls to perf, therefore solving the issues mentioned above.

The only userspace-visible change is the lack of SCU counter support
for 11MPCore. This is currently unsupported by OProfile userspace tools anyway and therefore shouldn't cause any problems.

929f519944 ARM: 6071/1: perf-events: allow modules to query the number of hardware counters
For OProfile to initialise oprofilefs correctly, it needs to know
the number of counters it can represent.

This patch adds a function to the ARM perf-events backend to return
the number of hardware counters available for the current PMU.

181193f398 ARM: 6069/1: perf-events: use numeric ID to identify PMU
The ARM perf-events framework provides support for a number of different
PMUs using struct arm_pmu. The char *name field of this struct can be
used to identify the PMU, but this is cumbersome if used outside of perf.

This patch replaces the name string for a PMU with an enum, which holds
a unique ID for the PMU being represented. This ID can be used to index
an array of names within perf, so no functionality is lost. The presence
of the ID field, allows other kernel subsystems [currently oprofile] to
use their own mappings for the PMU name.

49c006b937 ARM: 6064/1: pmu: register IRQs at runtime
The current PMU infrastructure for ARM requires that the IRQs for the PMU
device are fixed at compile time and are selected based on the ARCH_ or MACH_ flags. This has the disadvantage of tying the Kernel down to a
particular board as far as profiling is concerned.

This patch replaces the compile-time IRQ registration with a runtime mechanism which allows the IRQs to be registered with the framework as
a platform_device.

A further advantage of this change is that there is scope for registering
different types of performance counters in the future by changing the id
of the platform_device and attaching different resources to it.
