d2eea68e7d xen: disable vdso "nosegneg" on native boot
One of the nice ideas behind paravirt is that CONFIG_XEN=y can be included
in a standard configuration and be no worse for native booting than as a
Xen guest.  The glibc feature that supports the vDSO "nosegneg" note is
designed specifically to make this easy.  You just have to flip one bit at
boot time.  This patch makes Xen flip the bit, so a CONFIG_XEN=y kernel on
bare hardware does not make glibc use the less-optimized library builds.

ee54505199 sh: update r2d defconfig and fix SH7751R pci compliation
This patch updates the r2d board support in a few ways:

- CPU_SUBTYPE_SH7751R is selected in the defconfig to play well
  with the r2d board Kconfig entry. Without this the defconfig
  results in no board enabled.

- Enable EARLY_PRINTK.
- Enable SH_STANDARD_BIOS
	- this works well for early printk on the r2d board.

- Add "earlyprink=bios" to the cmdline for early serial port
  output by default.

- CONFIG_SUBTYPE_SH7751R support is added to the sh-specific
  pci makefile.

in %l7 already, so actually this "mov %o4, %l7" can just

cb5ec75b8b sh: cpufreq: clock framework support.
This gets the SH cpufreq working again. We follow the changes
in the AVR32 implementation for wrapping in to the clock framework.
CPUs that wish to use this are required to define rate rounding
primitives in order to satisfy clk_round_rate().

This works well enough for the common case, though we should
look at unifying this driver across all of the platforms that
implement clock framework support in one capacity or another.

This patch converts the cpu specific 7780 setup code to use the
new intc controller. Many new vectors are added and also support for
external interrupt sense configuration. So with this patch it is now
possible to configure external interrupt pins as edge or level
triggered using set_irq_type().

No external interrupts are registered by default.
Use plat_irq_setup_pins() to select between IRQ or IRL mode.

This patch also fixes the Alarm IRQ for the RTC.

680c45981a sh: intc - improve group support
This patch improves intc group support, ie it makes it possible to
group interrupts together and mask / unmask the entire group. This
also works with priorities, so setting a priority for an entire group
is also possible. This patch is needed to properly support certain
processors such as the 7780.

Fixes for NULL pointers in DECLARE_INTC_DESC() are also included.

02ab3f7079 sh: intc - shared IPR and INTC2 controller
This is the second version of the shared interrupt controller patch
for the sh architecture, fixing up handling of intc_reg_fns[].

The three main advantages with this controller over the existing
ones are:

	- Both priority (ipr) and bitmap (intc2) registers are
	  supported
	- External pin sense configuration is supported, ie edge
	  vs level triggered
	- CPU/Board specific code maps 1:1 with datasheet for
	  easy verification

This controller can easily coexist with the current IPR and INTC2
controllers, but the idea is that CPUs/Boards should be moved over
to this controller over time so we have a single code base to
maintain.

2d9ce177e6 i386: Allow KVM on i386 nonpae
Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of
the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family.
Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(),
this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae.

Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made
dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed
without constraints.  It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM
does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).

I did it on purpose (and gave the warning a miss...) and I consider
iosapic_free_rte() is no longer needed.

I decided to remain iosapic_rte_info to keep gsi-to-irq binding
after device disable. Indeed it needs some extra memory, but it
is only "sizeof(iosapic_rte_info) * <the number of removed devices>"
bytes and has no memory leak becasue re-enabled devices use the
iosapic_rte_info which they used before disabling.

Here's the reworked patch. I added an EDAC stub to the kernel so we can
have variables that are in the kernel even if EDAC is a module. I also
implemented the idea of using the chip driver to select error detection
mode via module parameter and eliminate the kernel compile option.
Please review/test. Thx!

Also, I only made changes to some of the chipset drivers since I am

Work around a possible bug in the FRV compiler.

What appears to be happening is that gcc resolves the
__builtin_constant_p() in kmalloc() to true, but then fails to reduce the
therefore constant conditions in the if-statements it guards to constant
results.

When compiling with -O2 or -Os, one single spurious error crops up in
cpuup_callback() in mm/slab.c.  This can be avoided by making the memsize
variable const.

cbe87121f1 i386: Put allocated ELF notes in read-only data segment
This changes the i386 linker script and the asm-generic macro it uses so that
ELF note sections with SHF_ALLOC set are linked into the kernel image along
with other read-only data.  The PT_NOTE also points to their location.

This paves the way for putting useful build-time information into ELF notes
that can be found easily later in a kernel memory dump.

b6a2fea393 mm: variable length argument support
Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.

We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space.  Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.

It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.

f34e3b61f2 use the new percpu interface for shared data
Currently most of the per cpu data, which is accessed by different cpus,
has a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute.  Move all this data to the
new per cpu shared data section: .data.percpu.shared_aligned.

This will seperate the percpu data which is referenced frequently by other
cpus from the local only percpu data.

5fb7dc37dc define new percpu interface for shared data
per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.

One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.

This patch:

Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

3d7e33825d jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for users
I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that
doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use.  This guy I know once
wrote code like this:

struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };

And then his kernel exploded. Oops.

This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.

We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.
