cmpxchg() is widely used by lockless code, including NMI-safe lockless
code. But on some architectures, the cmpxchg() implementation is not
NMI-safe, on these architectures the lockless code may need a
spin_trylock_irqsave() based implementation.
This patch adds a Kconfig option: ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so that
NMI-safe lockless code can depend on it or provide different
implementation according to it.
On many architectures, cmpxchg is only NMI-safe for several specific
operand sizes. So, ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG define in this patch
only guarantees cmpxchg is NMI-safe for sizeof(unsigned long).

With the recent mmu_gather changes that included generic RCU freeing of

sparc64.
This patch:
Remove the page table quicklists. They are pointless and make it harder
to use RCU page table freeing and share code with other architectures.

The DMA region must be accessible in order for PCI peripheral
drivers to work, the sparc32 has DMA in the normal memory
zone which requires the GRPCI2 to PCI target BARs so that all
kernel low mem (192MB) can be mapped 1:1 to PCI address
space. The GRPCI2 has resizeable target BARs, by default the
first is made 256MB and all other BARs are disabled.
I/O space are always located on 0x1000-0x10000, but accessed
through the GRPCI2 PCI I/O Window memory mapped to virtual
address space.
Configuration space is accessed through the 64KB GRPCI2 PCI
CFG Window using LDA bypassing the MMU.
The GRPCI2 has a single PCI Window for prefetchable and non-
prefetchable address space, it is up to the AHB master
requesting PCI data to determine access type. Memory space
is mapped 1:1.
The GRPCI2 core can be configured in 4 different IRQ modes,
where PCI Interrupt, Error Interrupt and DMA Interrupt are
shared on a single IRQ line or at most 5 IRQs are used. The
GRPCI2 can mask/unmask PCI interrupts, Err and DMA in the control
and check status bits which tells us which IRQ really happended.
The GENIRQ layer is used to unmask/mask each individual IRQ
source by creating virtual IRQs and implementing a IRQ chip.
The optional DMA functionality of the GRPCI2 is not supported
by this patch.

The current sparc32 SMP IPI generation is implemented the
cross call function. The cross call function uses IRQ15 the
NMI, this is has the effect that IPIs will interrupt IRQ
critical areas and hang the system. Typically on/after
spin_lock_irqsave calls can be aborted.
The cross call functionality must still exist to flush
cache/TLBS.
This patch provides CPU models a custom way to implement
generation of IPIs on the generic code's request. The
typical approach is to generate an IRQ for each IPI case.
After this patch each sparc32 SMP CPU model needs to
implement IPIs in order to function properly.

Make use of the new features in genirq:
1) Set the chip flag IRCHIP_EOI_IF_HANDLED, which ensures in the
core code that irq_eoi() is only called when the interrupt was
handled. That removes the extra status check in the callback.
2) Use the preflow handler, which is called from the fasteoi core code
before the device handler. That avoids another status check and the
open coded handler redirection.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

Implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocator as a fallback to
the embedding allocator. The next patch will make the embedding
allocator check distances between units to determine whether it fits
within the vmalloc area so that this fallback can be used on such
cases.
sparc64 currently has relatively small vmalloc area which makes it
impossible to create any dynamic chunks on certain configurations
leading to percpu allocation failures. This and the next patch should
allow those configurations to keep working until proper solution is

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )
