Patch from Nicolas Pitre
Strictly speaking, the NPTL kernel helpers are required for pre ARMv6
only. They are available on ARMv6+ as well for obvious compatibility
reasons. However there are cases where extra memory barriers are needed
when using an SMP ARMv6 machine but not on pre-ARMv6.
This patch adds a memory barrier kernel helper that glibc can use as
needed for pre-ARMv6 binaries to be forward compatible with an SMP
kernel on ARMv6, as well as the necessary dmb instructions to the
cmpxchg helper.

UML skas0 stub has been miscompiling for many people (incidentally not
the authors), depending on the used GCC versions.
I think (and testing on some GCC versions shows) this patch avoids the
fundamental issue which is behind this, namely gcc using the stack when
we have just replaced it, behind gcc's back. The remapping and storage
of the return value is hidden in a blob of asm, hopefully giving gcc no
room for creativity.

So you may have seen the miniconfig stuff wander by, which means that my
build script exits if there's a .config error, and we have this:
fs/Kconfig:1749:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'CIFS_UPCALL'
refer to undefined symbol 'CONNECTOR'

The current UML build assumes that on x86-64 systems, /lib is a symlink
to /lib64, but in some distributions (like PLD and CentOS) they are
separate directories, so the 64 bit library loader isn't found. This
patch inserts /lib64 at the start of the rpath on x86-64 UML builds.

Rather than providing more wrappers for 6-arg syscalls, arrange for
them to be supported as standard. This just means that we always
store the 6th argument on the stack, rather than in the wrappers.
This means we eliminate the wrappers for:
* sys_futex
* sys_arm_fadvise64_64
* sys_mbind
* sys_ipc

sparc64, i386 and x86_64 have support for a special data section dedicated
to rarely updated data that is frequently read. The section was created to
avoid false sharing of those rarely read data with frequently written kernel

This patch creates such a data section for ia64 and will group rarely written

I see why the problem exists only on SN. SN uses a different hardware
mechanism to purge TLB entries across nodes.
It looks like there is a bug in the SN TLB flushing code. During context switch,
kernel threads inherit the mm of the task that was previously running on the
cpu. This confuses the code in sn2_global_tlb_purge().
The result is a missed TLB purge for the task that owns the "borrowed" mm.
(I hit the problem running heavy stress where kswapd was purging code pages of
a user task that woke kswapd. The user task took a SIGILL fault trying to
execute code in the page that had been ripped out from underneath it).

The udelay() inline for ia64 uses the ITC. If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled
and the platform has unsynchronized ITCs and the calling task migrates
to another CPU while doing the udelay loop, then the effective delay may
be too short or very, very long.
This patch disables preemption around 100 usec chunks of the overall
desired udelay time. This minimizes preemption-holdoffs.
udelay() is now too big to be inline, move it out of line and export it.

As reported by Keith Mannthey, there are problems in populate_memnodemap()
The bug was that the compute_hash_shift() was returning 31, with incorrect
initialization of memnodemap[]
To correct the bug, we must use (1UL << shift) instead of (1 << shift) to
avoid an integer overflow, and we must check that shift < 64 to avoid an
infinite loop.

On systems that do not support the HPET legacy functions (basically the IBM
x460, but there could be others), in time_init() we accidentally fall into a
PM timer conditional and set the vxtime_hz value to the PM timer's frequency.
We then use this value with the HPET for timekeeping.
This patch (which mimics the behavior in time_init_gtod) corrects the
collision.

They report all busses as MMCONFIG capable, but it never works for the
internal devices in the CPU's builtin northbridge.
It just probes all func 0 devices on bus 0 (the internal northbridge is
currently always on bus 0) and if they are not accessible using MCFG they are
put into a special fallback bitmap.
On systems where it isn't we assume the BIOS vendor supplied correct MCFG.
Requires the earlier patch for mmconfig type1 fallback

It's illegal because it can sleep.
Use a two step lookup scheme instead. First look up the vm_struct, then
change the direct mapping, then finally unmap it. That's ok because nobody
can change the particular virtual address range as long as the vm_struct is
still in the global list.
Also added some LinuxDoc documentation to iounmap.

#ifdef CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32
#define __GFP_DMA32 ((__force gfp_t)0x01) /* ZONE_DMA is ZONE_DMA32

With CPU hotplug enabled, NMI watchdog stoped working. It appears the
violation is the cpu_online check in nmi handler. local ACPI based NMI
watchdog is initialized before we set CPU online for APs. It's quite
possible a NMI is fired before we set CPU online, and that's what happens
here.

enabling MBREQ (replaces: 3198/1)
Patch from Lothar Wassmann
The patch makes sure, that the ouptut functions of pins are restored
before restoring the Alternat Function settings, preventing pins from
being intermediately configured for undefined or unwanted alternate
functions.
Here is the original comment:
I've got a PXA270 system that uses GPIO80 as nCS4. This system did
hang on resume. Digging into the problem I found that the processor
stalled immediately when restoring the GAFR2_U register which restored
the alternate function for GPIO80. Since the GPDR registers were
restored after the GAFR registers, the offending GPIO was configured
as input at this point.
Thus the alternate function that was in effect after restoring the
GAFR was in fact the input function "MBREQ" instead of the output
function "nCS4". The "PXA27x Processor Family Developer's Manual"
(Footnote in Table 6-1 on page 6-3) states that:
"The MBREQ alternate function must not be enabled until the PSSR[RDH]
bit field is cleared. For more details, see Table 3-15, "PSSR Bit
Definitions" on page 3-71."
There is another note in the Developer's Manual (chapter 24.4.2
"GPIO operation as Alternate Function" on page 24-4)
stating that:
"Configuring a GPIO for an alternate function that is not defined for
it causes unpredictable results."
Since some GPIOs have no input function defined, and to prevent
inadvertedly programming the MBREQ function on some pin, the GAFR
registers should be restored after the GPDR registers have been
restored.
Additional provisions have to be made when the MBREQ function is
actually required. The corresponding GAFR bits should not be restored
with the regular GAFR restore, but must be set only after the PSSR
bits have been cleared.

Patch from Nikola Valerjev
Single stepping an application using ptrace() fails over ARM instructions BX and BLX.
Steps to reproduce:
Compile and link the following files
main.c
-----
void foo();
int main() {
foo();
return 0;
}
foo.s
-----
.text
.globl foo
foo:
BX LR
Using ptrace() functionality, run to main(), and start singlestepping.
Singlestep over \"BX LR\" instruction won\'t transfer the control back
to main, but run the code to completion.
This problems seems to be in the function get_branch_address() in
arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c. The function doesn\'t seem to recognize BX
and BLX instructions as branches. BX and BLX instructions can be used
to convert from ARM to Thumb mode if the target address has the low
bit set. However, they are also perfectly legal in the ARM only mode.
Although other things in the kernel seem to indicate that only ARM
mode is accepted (and not Thumb), many compilers will generate BX
and BLX instructions even when generating ARM only code.
