Since commit 31c911329e ("mm: check the argument
of kunmap on architectures without highmem"), we get lots of warnings like
arch/m68k/kernel/sys_m68k.c:508: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘kunmap’ from incompatible pointer type
As m68k doesn't support highmem anyway, open code the calls to kmap() and
kunmap() (the latter is a no-op) to kill the warnings, like is done on most
other architectures without CONFIG_HIGHPTE.

Create separate functions to deal with instruction and data cache flushing.
This way we can optimize them for the vairous cache types and arrangements
used across the ColdFire family.
For example the unified caches in the version 3 cores means we don't
need to flush the instruction cache. For the version 2 cores that do
not do data cacheing (or where we choose instruction cache only) we
don't need to do any data flushing.

The version 3 and version 4 ColdFire cache controllers support both
write-through and copy-back modes on the data cache. Allow for Kconfig
time configuration of this, and set the cache mode appropriately.

The newer version 2 ColdFire CPU cores support a configurable cache
arrangement. The cache memory can be used as all instruction cache, all
data cache, or split in half for both instruction and data caching.
Support this setup via a Kconfig time menu that allows a kernel builder
to choose the arrangement they want to use.

Currently the code to push cache lines is only available to version 4
cores. Version 3 cores may also need to use this if we support copy-
back caches on them. Move this code to make it more generic, and
useful for all version ColdFire cores.
With this in place we can now have a single cache_flush_all() code
path that does all the right things on all version cores.

The cache control code for the ColdFire CPU's is a big ugly mess
of "#ifdef"ery liberally coated with bit constants. Clean it up.
The cache controllers in the various ColdFire parts are actually quite
similar. Just differing in some bit flags and options supported. Using
the header defines now in place it is pretty easy to factor out the
small differences and use common setup and flush/invalidate code.
I have preserved the cache setups as they where in the old code
(except where obviously wrong - like in the case of the 5249). Following
from this it should be easy now to extend the possible setups used on
the CACHE controllers that support split cacheing or copy-back or
write through options.

Move the inclusion of the version 4 cache controller registers so that
it is with all the other register bit flag definitions. This makes it
consistent with the other version core inclusion points, and means we
don't need "#ifdef"ery in odd-ball places for these definitions.

The ColdFire UART base addresses varies between the different ColdFire
family members. Instead of keeping the base addresses with the UART
definitions keep them with the other addresses definitions for each
ColdFire part.
The motivation for this move is so that when we add new ColdFire
part definitions, they are all in a single file (and we shouldn't
normally need to modify the UART definitions in mcfuart.h at all).

The instruction timings of the ColdFire 54xx family parts are

The ColdFire 547x family of processors is very similar to the ColdFire
548x series. Almost all of the support for them is the same. Make the
code supporting the 548x more gneric, so it will be capable of
supporting both families.
For the most part this is a renaming excerise to make the support
code more obviously apply to both families.

Now that we have meaningfull symbolic constants for bit definitions
of the cache registers of m5407 and m548x chips, use them to

The differences between the arch-specific version and the generic

- m68k defines its own value for FIOQSIZE, asm-generic/ioctls.h keeps it
- The generic version adds TIOCSRS485 and TIOCGRS485m which are unused
by any driver available on this architecture.
- The generic version adds support for termiox

Fix the IRQ flag handling naming. In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
it maps:
local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
...
and under the other configuration, it maps:
raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
...
This is quite confusing. There should be one set of names expected of the
arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
by users of this facility.
Change this to have the arch provide:
flags = arch_local_save_flags()
flags = arch_local_irq_save()
arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
arch_local_irq_disable()
arch_local_irq_enable()
arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
arch_irqs_disabled()
arch_safe_halt()
Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:
raw_local_save_flags(flags)
raw_local_irq_save(flags)
raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
raw_local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_enable()
raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
raw_irqs_disabled()
raw_safe_halt()
with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:
local_save_flags(flags)
local_irq_save(flags)
local_irq_restore(flags)
local_irq_disable()
local_irq_enable()
irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
irqs_disabled()
safe_halt()
with tracing included if enabled.
The arch functions can now all be inline functions rather than some of them
having to be macros.

Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt). So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers. We have only one user of the API in tree. Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.
Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all. It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all. It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.

Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation.
dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures
define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed
buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others). So
we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.
This patch:
dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA
alignment restriction). However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if
architectures doesn't define it.
Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub

Fixed up pretty trivial conflicts in drivers/block/virtio_blk.c and
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c as per Jens.
This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
LINEMODE in the server.
There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn
off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
what state the user wants the terminal to be in.
New ioctl:
TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the
current process group of the pty.
There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty
to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.
Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.
The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
here:
