allows using 64x64->128 muls on 64bit archs and recent GCC
which defines __SIZEOF_INT128__ and __int128.

[ Tweaked it so that MAXSMP simply sets the maximum of the normal range. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
The current range for SMP configs is 2 - 512 CPUs, or a full
4096 in the case of MAXSMP. There are machines that have 1024
CPUs in them today and configuring a kernel for that means you
are forced to set MAXSMP. This adds additional unnecessary
overhead. While that overhead might be considered tiny for
large machines, it isn't necessarily so if you are building a
kernel that runs across a wide variety of machines.
To cover the range of more common machines today, we allow
NR_CPUS to be up to 4096 when CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled.

we have a very good performance benefit for paravirtualized KVM / Xen

So update the Kconfig entry accordingly.

The AMD_GART driver was made EXPERT/EMBEDDED a long time
ago to avoid unbootable 64bit systems with 32bit only devices.
This was before swiotlb was there, which does the job
of this fallback today. SWIOTLB is always on, so systems
should always boot.
The drawback is that every system has to compile that
driver in (it cannot be a module).
Also:
- Newer AMD CPUs (the APUs) don't seem to have AMD_GART support
at all anymore.
- Newer AMD platforms have a much better real IOMMU
- The AMD GART driver was never very good (lots of overhead,
e.g. in flushing due to some workarounds) and it's doubtful it's
really better than SWIOTLB.
- On older K8 systems it didn't even work with all chipsets.
- The 32bit device bounce buffer case should be rare/
non performance critical these days anyways.
- On non AMD systems it is not needed at all.
So drop the EXPERT dependency on AMD_GART and remove the
default y. The driver can be still compiled in, just
it's an explicit decision now, and people who don't want
it can unselect it.
I also clarified the description a bit.
This allows to save ~8K text on most modern x86-64 systems.

Commit ebd97be635 ('PCI: remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI kconfig option')
removed the ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI option which architectures could select
to indicate that they support MSI. Now, all architectures are supposed
to build fine when MSI support is enabled: instead of having the
architecture tell *when* MSI support can be used, it's up to the
architecture code to ensure that MSI support can be enabled.
On x86, commit ebd97be635 removed the following line:
select ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI if (X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_IO_APIC)
Which meant that MSI support was only available when the local APIC
and I/O APIC were enabled. While this is always true on SMP or x86-64,
it is not necessarily the case on i386 !SMP.
The below patch makes sure that the local APIC and I/O APIC support is
always enabled when MSI support is enabled. To do so, it:
* Ensures the X86_UP_APIC option is not visible when PCI_MSI is
enabled. This is the option that allows, on UP machines, to enable
or not the APIC support. It is already not visible on SMP systems,
or x86-64 systems, for example. We're simply also making it
invisible on i386 MSI systems.
* Ensures that the X86_LOCAL_APIC and X86_IO_APIC options are 'y'
when PCI_MSI is enabled.
Notice that this change requires a change in drivers/iommu/Kconfig to
avoid a recursive Kconfig dependencey. The AMD_IOMMU option selects
PCI_MSI, but was depending on X86_IO_APIC. This dependency is no
longer needed: as soon as PCI_MSI is selected, the presence of
X86_IO_APIC is guaranteed. Moreover, the AMD_IOMMU already depended on
X86_64, which already guaranteed that X86_IO_APIC was enabled, so this
dependency was anyway redundant.

x86-64 runs irq_exit() under the irq stack. So it can afford
to run softirqs in hardirq exit without the need to switch
the stacks. The hardirq stack is good enough for that.
Now x86-64 runs softirqs in the hardirq stack anyway, so what we
mostly skip is some needless per cpu refcounting updates there.
x86-32 is not concerned because it only runs the irq handler on
the irq stack.

Commit d7c53c9e enabled ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE on x86 in order to
serialize CPU online/offline operations. Although it is the config
option to enable CPU hotplug test interfaces, probe & release, it is
also the option to enable cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() as well. Therefore,
this option had to be enabled on x86 with dummy arch_cpu_probe() and
arch_cpu_release().
Since then, lock_device_hotplug() was introduced to serialize CPU
online/offline & hotplug operations. Therefore, this config option
is no longer required for the serialization. This patch disables
this config option on x86 and revert the changes made by commit
d7c53c9e.

This branch contains mostly additions and changes to platform enablement
and SoC-level drivers. Since there's sometimes a dependency on device-tree
changes, there's also a fair amount of those in this branch.
Pieces worth mentioning are:
- Mbus driver for Marvell platforms, allowing kernel configuration
and resource allocation of on-chip peripherals.
- Enablement of the mbus infrastructure from Marvell PCI-e drivers.
- Preparation of MSI support for Marvell platforms.
- Addition of new PCI-e host controller driver for Tegra platforms
- Some churn caused by sharing of macro names between i.MX 6Q and 6DL
platforms in the device tree sources and header files.
- Various suspend/PM updates for Tegra, including LP1 support.
- Versatile Express support for MCPM, part of big little support.
- Allwinner platform support for A20 and A31 SoCs (dual and quad Cortex-A7)
- OMAP2+ support for DRA7, a new Cortex-A15-based SoC.
The code that touches other architectures are patches moving
MSI arch-specific functions over to weak symbols and removal of
ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI, acked by PCI maintainers.

Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check
that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a
cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference
count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock"
contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are
contended.
Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t.
Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with
cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means
that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the
spinlock.
So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for
"atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are
fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is
truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero),
so a locked region can still see the count change.
The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference
count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and
you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even
the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock.
In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to
do three things:
(1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit
in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works
on such a u64 data type.
(2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked
("arch_spin_value_unlocked()")
(3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its
Kconfig file.
This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure
cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for
32-bit mode).

Moves the relocation handling into C, after decompression. This requires
that the decompressed size is passed to the decompression routine as
well so that relocations can be found. Only kernels that need relocation
support will use the code (currently just x86_32), but this is laying
the ground work for 64-bit using it in support of KASLR.

The current situation regarding boot-framebuffers (VGA, VESA/VBE, EFI) on
x86 causes troubles when loading multiple fbdev drivers. The global
"struct screen_info" does not provide any state-tracking about which
drivers use the FBs. request_mem_region() theoretically works, but
unfortunately vesafb/efifb ignore it due to quirks for broken boards.
Avoid this by creating a platform framebuffer devices with a pointer
to the "struct screen_info" as platform-data. Drivers can now create
platform-drivers and the driver-core will refuse multiple drivers being
active simultaneously.
We keep the screen_info available for backwards-compatibility. Drivers
can be converted in follow-up patches.
Different devices are created for VGA/VESA/EFI FBs to allow multiple
drivers to be loaded on distro kernels. We create:
- "vesa-framebuffer" for VBE/VESA graphics FBs
- "efi-framebuffer" for EFI FBs
- "platform-framebuffer" for everything else
This allows to load vesafb, efifb and others simultaneously and each
picks up only the supported FB types.
Apart from platform-framebuffer devices, this also introduces a
compatibility option for "simple-framebuffer" drivers which recently got
introduced for OF based systems. If CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is selected, we
try to match the screen_info against a simple-framebuffer supported
format. If we succeed, we create a "simple-framebuffer" device instead
of a platform-framebuffer.
This allows to reuse the simplefb.c driver across architectures and also
to introduce a SimpleDRM driver. There is no need to have vesafb.c,
efifb.c, simplefb.c and more just to have architecture specific quirks
in their setup-routines.
Instead, we now move the architecture specific quirks into x86-setup and
provide a generic simple-framebuffer. For backwards-compatibility (if
strange formats are used), we still allow vesafb/efifb to be loaded
simultaneously and pick up all remaining devices.

CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE enables the
/sys/devices/system/memory/probe interface, which allows a given
memory address to be hot-added as follows:
# echo start_address_of_new_memory > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
(See Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt for more details.)
This probe interface is required on powerpc. On x86, however,
ACPI notifies a memory hotplug event to the kernel, which
performs its hotplug operation as the result.
Therefore, regular users do not need this interface on x86. This probe
interface is also error-prone and misleading that the kernel blindly
adds a given memory address without checking if the memory is present
on the system; no probing is done despite of its name.
The kernel crashes when a user requests to online a memory block
that is not present on the system. This interface is currently
used for testing as it can fake a hotplug event.
This patch disables CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE by default on x86,
adds its Kconfig menu entry on x86, and clarifies its use in
Documentation/ memory-hotplug.txt.

Since introducing the text_poke_bp() for all text_poke_smp*()
callers, text_poke_smp*() are now unused. This patch basically
reverts:
3d55cc8a05 ("x86: Add text_poke_smp for SMP cross modifying code")
7deb18dcf0 ("x86: Introduce text_poke_smp_batch() for batch-code modifying")
and related commits.
This patch also fixes a Kconfig dependency issue on STOP_MACHINE
in the case of CONFIG_SMP && !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD.

Merge Kconfig menu diet patches from Dave Hansen:
"I think the "Kernel Hacking" menu has gotten a bit out of hand. It is
over 120 lines long on my system with everything enabled and options
are scattered around it haphazardly.
http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/kconfig-horror.png
Let's try to introduce some sanity. This set takes that 120 lines
down to 55 and makes it vastly easier to find some things. It's a
start.
This set stands on its own, but there is plenty of room for follow-up
patches. The arch-specific debug options still end up getting stuck
in the top-level "kernel hacking" menu. OPTIMIZE_INLINING, for
instance, could obviously go in to the "compiler options" menu, but
the fact that it is defined in arch/ in a separate Kconfig file keeps
it on its own for the moment.
The Signed-off-by's in here look funky. I changed employers while
working on this set, so I have signoffs from both email addresses"
* emailed patches from Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net>:
hang and lockup detection menu
kconfig: consolidate printk options
group locking debugging options
consolidate compilation option configs
consolidate runtime testing configs
order memory debugging Kconfig options
consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging options
Original posting:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com
Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options.
They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly
differing help text.
This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig
boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug
to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of
duplication and adds consistency across arches.

Add a configuration option to build RapidIO subsystem core code as a
loadable kernel module. Currently this option is available only for
x86-based platforms, with the additional patch for PowerPC planned to be
provided later.
This patch replaces kernel command line parameter "riohdid=" with its
module-specific analog "rapidio.hdid=".

The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to. In order to do this tracking one should
1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
2. Wait some time.
3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)
To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.
Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.
Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.
