e2fdd7fd99 sparc: Add kgdb support.
Current limitations:

1) On SMP single stepping has some fundamental issues,
   shared with other sw single-step architectures such
   as mips and arm.

2) On 32-bit sparc we don't support SMP kgdb yet.  That
   requires some reworking of the IPI mechanisms and
   infrastructure on that platform.

09337f501e sparc64: Kill CONFIG_SPARC32_COMPAT
It's completely superfluous, CONFIG_COMPAT is sufficient.

What this used to be is an umbrella for enabling code shared
by all 32-bit compat binary support types.  But with the
removal of SunOS and Solaris support, the only one left is
Linux 32-bit ELF.

Update defconfig.

05d515ef3d sparc64: Cleanups and corrections for arch/sparc64/Kconfig
Refer to chip as "SPARC" throughout.

Say 32-bit SPARC and 64-bit SPARC rather than mentioning specific
chips such like UltraSPARC, as appropriate.

Remove non-sense help text referring to things that will never appear
on a SPARC system, such as EISA busses etc.

Use "help" instead of "--help--"

9edddaa200 Kprobes: indicate kretprobe support in Kconfig
Add CONFIG_HAVE_KRETPROBES to the arch/<arch>/Kconfig file for relevant
architectures with kprobes support.  This facilitates easy handling of
in-kernel modules (like samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c) that depend on
kretprobes being present in the kernel.

Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for helping make the patch more lean.

Per Mathieu's suggestion, added CONFIG_KRETPROBES and fixed up dependencies.

b0b933c08b aout: mark arches that support A.OUT format
Mark arches that support A.OUT format by including the following in their
master Kconfig files:

	config ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT
		def_bool y

This should also be set if the arch provides compatibility A.OUT support for
an older arch, for instance x86_64 for i386 or sparc64 for sparc.

I've guessed at which arches don't, based on comments in the code, however I'm
sure that some of the ones I've marked as 'yes' actually should be 'no'.

3f550096de Add HAVE_KPROBES
Linus:

On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like

        depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32

really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.

It would be much better to do

        depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES

in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
have a

        bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                default y

in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...

Changelog:

Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
it, I realize that I should have told you to just use

        config KPROBES_SUPPORT
                def_bool y

instead, which is a bit denser.

We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
what "def_bool" is there for...

- Use HAVE_KPROBES
- Use a select

- Yet another update :
Moving to HAVE_* now.

- Update ARM for kprobes support.

95c354fe9f spinlock: lockbreak cleanup
The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.

Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.

Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).

"It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
20-something times.  Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.

However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make

4f0234f4f9 [SPARC64]: Initial LDOM cpu hotplug support.
Only adding cpus is supports at the moment, removal
will come next.

When new cpus are configured, the machine description is
updated.  When we get the configure request we pass in a
cpu mask of to-be-added cpus to the mdesc CPU node parser
so it only fetches information for those cpus.  That code
also proceeds to update the SMT/multi-core scheduling bitmaps.

cpu_up() does all the work and we return the status back
over the DS channel.

CPUs via dr-cpu need to be booted straight out of the
hypervisor, and this requires:

1) A new trampoline mechanism.  CPUs are booted straight
   out of the hypervisor with MMU disabled and running in
   physical addresses with no mappings installed in the TLB.

   The new hvtramp.S code sets up the critical cpu state,
   installs the locked TLB mappings for the kernel, and
   turns the MMU on.  It then proceeds to follow the logic
   of the existing trampoline.S SMP cpu bringup code.

2) All calls into OBP have to be disallowed when domaining
   is enabled.  Since cpus boot straight into the kernel from
   the hypervisor, OBP has no state about that cpu and therefore
   cannot handle being invoked on that cpu.

   Luckily it's only a handful of interfaces which can be called
   after the OBP device tree is obtained.  For example, rebooting,
   halting, powering-off, and setting options node variables.

CPU removal support will require some infrastructure changes
here.  Namely we'll have to process the requests via a true
kernel thread instead of in a workqueue.  workqueues run on
a per-cpu thread, but when unconfiguring we might need to
force the thread to execute on another cpu if the current cpu
is the one being removed.  Removal of a cpu also causes the kernel
to destroy that cpu's workqueue running thread.

Another issue on removal is that we may have interrupts still
pointing to the cpu-to-be-removed.  So new code will be needed
to walk the active INO list and retarget those cpus as-needed.

e53e97ce3c [SPARC64]: Add LDOM virtual channel driver and VIO device layer.
Virtual devices on Sun Logical Domains are built on top
of a virtual channel framework.  This, with help of hypervisor
interfaces, provides a link layer protocol with basic
handshaking over which virtual device clients and servers
communicate.

Built on top of this is a VIO device protocol which has it's
own handshaking and message types.  At this layer attributes
are exchanged (disk size, network device addresses, etc.)
descriptor rings are registered, and data transfers are
triggers and replied to.

36e235901f PCI: Only build PCI syscalls on architectures that want them
The PCI syscalls are built on every architecture except X86, but only
a few have ever hooked them up.  Use a new Kconfig symbol to save a
couple of kB on the architectures that have never used the syscalls.
Tested on x86 and ia64 only.

22adb358e8 [SPARC64]: Eliminate NR_CPUS limitations.
Cheetah systems can have cpuids as large as 1023, although physical
systems don't have that many cpus.

Only three limitations existed in the kernel preventing arbitrary
NR_CPUS values:

1) dcache dirty cpu state stored in page->flags on
   D-cache aliasing platforms.  With some build time
   calculations and some build-time BUG checks on
   page->flags layout, this one was easily solved.

2) The cheetah XCALL delivery code could only handle
   a cpumask with up to 32 cpus set.  Some simple looping
   logic clears that up too.

3) thread_info->cpu was a u8, easily changed to a u16.

There are a few spots in the kernel that still put NR_CPUS
sized arrays on the kernel stack, but that's not a sparc64
specific problem.

d78d0891d3 [SPARC64]: Use SPARSEMEM_STATIC
Decrease the SECTION_SIZE_BITS --> MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS
range a little bit.

The cost of going to SPARSEMEM_STATIC becomes 8K of BSS space, and in
return we save a pointer dereferences on every page struct lookup.
Even better we hit the main kernel image for the base address which is
in a hugepage locked TLB entry.

112f48716d [SPARC64]: Add clocksource/clockevents support.
I'd like to thank John Stul and others for helping
me along the way.

A lot of cleanups fell out of this.  For example, the get_compare()
tick_op was totally unused, so was deleted.  And the most often used
tick_op members were grouped together for cache-friendlyness.

The sparc64 TSC is given to the kernel as a one-shot timer.

tick_ops->init_timer() simply turns off the privileged bit in
the tick register (when possible), and disables the interrupt
by setting bit 63 in the compare register.  The ->disable_irq()
op also sets this bit.

tick_ops->add_compare() is changed to:

1) Add the given delta to "tick" not to "compare"
2) Return a boolean which, if true, means that the tick
   value read after writing the compare value was found
   to have incremented past the initial tick value.  This
   mirrors logic used in the HPET driver's ->next_event()
   method.

Each tick_ops implementation also now provides a name string.
And we feed this into the clocksource and clockevents layers.

5ac6da669e [PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMA
As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA
channel management.  Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to
provide memory below 16M.  So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is
set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA.  Undo the modifications to
mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set
theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig.

Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be
switched off.  It can only be switched off if we know that all devices
supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of
memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and
IA64/Altix).

In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish
a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only
capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an
alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory
(like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that
call.  In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified
to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

f0d1b0b30d [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel
This facility provides three entry points:

	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

	int do_something(long q)
	{
		...;
		y = ilog2(x)
		...;
	}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

	unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.
