b0ea11497c ARM idle: delete pm_idle
pm_idle() on ARM was a synonym for default_idle(),
so simply invoke default_idle() directly.

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
 "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
  stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
  literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.

  A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):

   - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.

     We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
     or kernel_execve():

     kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
     return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
     successful do_execve() before returning.

     kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
     do transition to user mode anymore.

     As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
     arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
     resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
     architecture-independent.

   - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c

   - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
     copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.

   - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
     still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
     pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
     kernel/fork.c now."

871df85a59 ARM: 7544/1: Add BUG_ON when hlt counter is wrongly used
1. On ARM platform, "nohlt" can be used to prevent core from idle
   process, returning immediately.
2. There are two interfaces, exported for other modules, named
   "disable_hlt" and "enable_hlt" are used to enable/disable the
   cpuidle mechanism by increasing/decreasing "hlt_counter".
   Disable_hlt and enable_hlt are paired operation,
   when you first call disable_hlt and then enable_hlt, the
   semantics are right.
3. There is no obvious constraint to prevent user(driver/module)
   code to prevent the case that enable_hlt is ahead of disable_hlt,
   which is a fatal operation on kernel state change from user,
   and there is no any WARNING or notification if the case happens
   in current kernel code.
   This patch aims to report BUG when the case happens, just like
   what the kernel do when enable_irq is ahead of disable_irq.

  At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work

19e4ab54e7 Merge branch 'for-arm-soc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cooloney/linux-leds into next/drivers
From Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@canonical.com>:

Based on Linus Walleij's ARM LED consolidation work, this patchset introduce a
new generic led trigger for CPU not only for ARM but also for others.

For enabling CPU idle event, CPU arch code should call ledtrig_cpu() stub to
trigger idle start or idle end event.

These patches convert old style LED driver in arch/arm to gpio_led or new led
driver interface. Against 3.5 release and build successfully for all the machines.

Test ledtrig-cpu driver on OMAP4 Panda board.

v9 --> v10
 * fix compiling issue on versatile_defconfig reported by Russell King
 * rebase to 3.5 kernel and move patches to new git tree

v8 --> v9:
 * use mutex to replace rw_sema pointed out by Tim Gardner
 * add a new struct led_trigger_cpu
 * add lock_is_inited to record mutex lock initialization

v6 --> v7:
 * add a patch to unify the led-trigger name
 * fix some typo pointed
 * use BUG_ON to detect CPU numbers during building stage

v5 --> v6:
 * replace  __get_cpu_var() to per_cpu()
 * remove smp_processor_id() which is wrong with for_each_possible_cpu()
 * test on real OMAP4 Panda board
 * add comments about CPU hotplug in the CPU LED trigger driver

v4 --> v5:
 * rebase all the patches on top of latest linux-next
 * replace on_each_cpu() with for_each_possible_cpu()
 * add some description of ledtrig_cpu() API
 * remove old leds code from driver nwflash.c, which should use a new led trigger then
 * this trigger driver can be built as module now

v3 --> v4:
 * fix a typo pointed by Jochen Friedrich
 * fix some building errors
 * add Reviewed-by and Tested-by into patch log

v2 --> v3:
 * almost rewrote the whole ledtrig-cpu driver, which is more simple
 * every CPU will have a per-CPU trigger
 * cpu trigger can be assigned to any leds
 * fix a lockdep issue in led-trigger common code
 * other fix according to review

v1 --> v2:
 * remove select operations in Kconfig of every machines
 * add back supporting of led in core module of mach-integrator
 * solidate name scheme in ledtrig-cpu.c
 * add comments of CPU_LED_* cpu led events
 * fold patches of RealView and Versatile together
 * add machine_is_ check during assabet led driver init
 * add some Acked-by in patch logs
 * remove code for simpad machine in machine-sa11000, since Jochen Friedrich
   introduced gpiolib and gpio-led driver for simpad
 * on Assabet and Netwinder machine, LED operations is reversed like:
   setting bit means turn off leds
   clearing bit means turn on leds
 * add a new function to read CM_CTRL register for led driver

98bd8b96b2 ARM: 7466/1: disable interrupt before spinning endlessly
The CPU will endlessly spin at the end of machine_halt and
machine_restart calls.  However, this will lead to a soft lockup
warning after about 20 seconds, if CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR is enabled,
as system timer is still alive.

Disable interrupt before going to spin endlessly, so that the lockup
warning will never be seen.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

f9d4861fc3 ARM: 7294/1: vectors: use gate_vma for vectors user mapping
The current user mapping for the vectors page is inserted as a `horrible
hack vma' into each task via arch_setup_additional_pages. This causes
problems with the MM subsystem and vm_normal_page, as described here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/55

Following the suggestion from Hugh in the above thread, this patch uses
the gate_vma for the vectors user mapping, therefore consolidating
the horrible hack VMAs into one.

The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).

Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.

The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.

The qemu code which implements this features is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch

In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.

I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.

This patch:

The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

4fa20439a8 ARM: clean up idle handlers
Let's factor out the need_resched() check instead of having it duplicated
in every pm_idle implementations to avoid inconsistencies (omap2_pm_idle
is missing it already).

The forceful re-enablement of IRQs after pm_idle has returned can go.
The warning certainly doesn't trigger for existing users.

To get rid of the pm_idle calling convention oddity, let's introduce
arm_pm_idle() allowing for the local_irq_enable() to be factored out
from SOC specific implementations. The default pm_idle function becomes
a wrapper for arm_pm_idle and it takes care of enabling IRQs closer to
where they are initially disabled.

And finally move the comment explaining the reason for that turning off
of IRQs to a more proper location.

290130a177 ARM: reset: implement soft_restart for jumping to a physical address
Tools such as kexec and CPU hotplug require a way to reset the processor
and branch to some code in physical space. This requires various bits of
jiggery pokery with the caches and MMU which, when it goes wrong, tends
to lock up the system.

This patch fleshes out the soft_restart implementation so that it
branches to the reset code using the identity mapping. This requires us
to change to a temporary stack, held within the kernel image as a static
array, to avoid conflicting with the new view of memory.

1268fbc746 nohz: Remove tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() / tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu()
Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.

Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

2bbb6817c0 nohz: Allow rcu extended quiescent state handling seperately from tick stop
It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.

To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().

If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().

Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:

- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.

280f06774a nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logic
The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:

- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.

There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.

Split this function into:

- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.

- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).

To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().

This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.

11ed0ba175 ARM: 7161/1: errata: no automatic store buffer drain
This patch implements a workaround for PL310 erratum 769419. On
revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does not
automatically drain. This can cause normal, non-cacheable writes to be
retained when the memory system is idle, leading to suboptimal I/O
performance for drivers using coherent DMA.

This patch adds an optional wmb() call to the cpu_idle loop. On systems
with an outer cache, this causes an explicit flush of the store buffer.

ec706dab29 ARM: add a vma entry for the user accessible vector page
The kernel makes the high vector page visible to user space. This page
contains (amongst others) small code segments that can be executed in
user space.  Make this page visible through ptrace and /proc/<pid>/mem
in order to let gdb perform code parsing needed for proper unwinding.

For example, the ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK handler actually has a stack
frame -- it returns to a PC value stored on the user's stack.   To
unwind after a "sleep" system call was interrupted twice, GDB would
have to recognize this situation and understand that stack frame
layout -- which it currently cannot do.

We could fix this by hard-coding addresses in the vector page range into
GDB, but that isn't really portable as not all of those addresses are
guaranteed to remain stable across kernel releases.  And having the gdb
process make an exception for this page and get  content from its own
address space for it looks strange, and it is not future proof either.

Being located above PAGE_OFFSET, this vma cannot be deleted by
user space code.
