This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
a kernel module.
According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
(in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
to generate trampoline code.
This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
.text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
using r11 can cause an oops.
The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is
safe from an EABI perspective.
I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

This reverts 68568add2c ("powerpc/time: Remove unnecessary sanity check
of decrementer expiration"). We do need to check whether we have reached
the expiration time of the next event, because we sometimes get an early
decrementer interrupt, most notably when we set the decrementer to 1 in
arch_irq_work_raise(). The effect of not having the sanity check is that
if timer_interrupt() gets called early, we leave the decrementer set to
its maximum value, which means we then don't get any more decrementer
interrupts for about 4 seconds (or longer, depending on timebase
frequency). I saw these pauses as a consequence of getting a stray
hypervisor decrementer interrupt left over from exiting a KVM guest.
This isn't quite a straight revert because of changes to the surrounding
code, but it restores the same algorithm as was previously used.

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler(); called when
sigframe has been successfully built. All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).
I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

Current CPU hotplug code has some task->mm handling issues:
1. Working with task->mm w/o getting mm or grabing the task lock is
dangerous as ->mm might disappear (exit_mm() assigns NULL under
task_lock(), so tasklist lock is not enough).
We can't use get_task_mm()/mmput() pair as mmput() might sleep,
so we must take the task lock while handle its mm.
2. Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main
thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads
may still have a valid mm.
To fix this we would need to use find_lock_task_mm(), which would
walk up all threads and returns an appropriate task (with task
lock held).
clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() has all the issues fixed, so let's use it.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound
Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"This is the first big chunk for 3.5 merges of sound stuff.
There are a few big changes in different areas. First off, the
streaming logic of USB-audio endpoints has been largely rewritten for
the better support of "implicit feedback". If anything about USB got
broken, this change has to be checked.
For HD-audio, the resume procedure was changed; instead of delaying
the resume of the hardware until the first use, now waking up
immediately at resume. This is for buggy BIOS.
For ASoC, dynamic PCM support and the improved support for digital
links between off-SoC devices are major framework changes.
Some highlights are below:
* HD-audio
- Avoid accesses of invalid pin-control bits that may stall the codec
- V-ref setup cleanups
- Fix the races in power-saving code
- Fix the races in codec cache hashes and connection lists
- Split some common codes for BIOS auto-parser to hda_auto_parser.c
- Changed the PM resume code to wake up immediately for buggy BIOS
- Creative SoundCore3D support
- Add Conexant CX20751/2/3/4 codec support
* ASoC
- Dynamic PCM support, allowing support for SoCs with internal
routing through components with tight sequencing and formatting
constraints within their internal paths or where there are multiple
components connected with CPU managed DMA controllers inside the
SoC.
- Greatly improved support for direct digital links between off-SoC
devices, providing a much simpler way of connecting things like
digital basebands to CODECs.
- Much more fine grained and robust locking, cleaning up some of the
confusion that crept in with multi-component.
- CPU support for nVidia Tegra 30 I2S and audio hub controllers and
ST-Ericsson MSP I2S controolers
- New CODEC drivers for Cirrus CS42L52, LAPIS Semiconductor ML26124,
Texas Instruments LM49453.
- Some regmap changes needed by the Tegra I2S driver.
- mc13783 audio support.
* Misc
- Rewrite with module_pci_driver()
- Xonar DGX support for snd-oxygen
- Improvement of packet handling in snd-firewire driver
- New USB-endpoint streaming logic
- Enhanced M-audio FTU quirks and relevant cleanups
- Increment the support of OSS devices to 256
- snd-aloop accuracy improvement
There are a few more pending changes for 3.5, but they will be sent
slightly later as partly depending on the changes of DRM."

Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change is the cleanup/simplification of the load-balancer:
instead of the current practice of architectures twiddling scheduler
internal data structures and providing the scheduler domains in
colorfully inconsistent ways, we now have generic scheduler code in
kernel/sched/core.c:sched_init_numa() that looks at the architecture's
node_distance() parameters and (while not fully trusting it) deducts a
NUMA topology from it.
This inevitably changes balancing behavior - hopefully for the better.
There are various smaller optimizations, cleanups and fixlets as well"

advantage of IBS transparently.
- the libtracevents library: it is the first step towards unifying
tracing tooling and perf, and it also gives a tracing library for
external tools like powertop to rely on.
- infrastructure: various improvements and refactoring of the UI
modules and related code
- infrastructure: cleanup and simplification of the profiling

Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually
include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we
broke them.
Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the
include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others.
This does not change anything for the architectures using the old
style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there.
For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it
moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is
a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified
by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

There is no point having the NET dependency on the select target, as it
forces all users to depend on NET to tell they support BPF_JIT. Move
the config option to the bottom of the file - this could be a nice place
also for future "selectable" config symbols.
Fix up all users to drop the dependency on NET now that it is not
required to supress warnings for non-NET builds.

When handling the H_BULK_REMOVE hypercall, we were forgetting to
invalidate and unlock the hashed page table entry (HPTE) in the case
where the page had been paged out. This fixes it by clearing the
first doubleword of the HPTE in that case.
This fixes a regression introduced in commit a92bce95f0 ("KVM: PPC:
Book3S HV: Keep HPTE locked when invalidating"). The effect of the
regression is that the host kernel will sometimes hang when under
memory pressure.

When jumping back into the kernel to code that knows that it would be
using HSRR registers instead of SRR registers, we need to make sure we
pass it all information on where to jump to in HSRR registers.
Unfortunately, we used r10 to store the information to distinguish between
the HSRR and SRR case. That register got clobbered in between though,
rendering the later comparison invalid.
Instead, let's use cr1 to store this information. That way we don't
need yet another register and everyone's happy.
This fixes PR KVM on POWER7 bare metal for me.

When running on a system that is HV capable, some interrupts use HSRR
SPRs instead of the normal SRR SPRs. These are also used in the Linux
handlers to jump back to code after an interrupt got processed.
Unfortunately, in our "jump back to the real host handler after we've
done the context switch" code, we were only setting the SRR SPRs,
rendering Linux to jump back to some invalid IP after it's processed
the interrupt.
This fixes random crashes on p7 opal mode with PR KVM for me.

In addition to normal "priviledged instruction" traps, we can also receive
"emulation assist" traps on newer hardware that has the HV bit set.
Handle that one the same way as a privileged instruction, including the
instruction fetching. That way we don't execute old instructions that we
happen to still leave in that field when an emul assist trap comes.
This fixes -M mac99 / -M g3beige on p7 bare metal for me.
