8a8b836b91 [SPARC]: Make bitops use same spinlocks as atomics.
Recent workqueue changes basically make this a formal requirement.

Also, move atomic32.o from lib-y to obj-y since it exports symbols
to modules.

15f1483404 [SPARC64]: Kill no-remapping-needed code in head.S
It branches around some necessary prom calls, which we would
need to do even if we are mapped at the correct location already.
So it doesn't work.

The idea was that this sort of thing could be used for the eventual
kexec implementation, but it is clear that this will need to be
done differently.

d1526e2cda Remove stack unwinder for now
It has caused more problems than it ever really solved, and is
apparently not getting cleaned up and fixed.  We can put it back when
it's stable and isn't likely to make warning or bug events worse.

In the meantime, enable frame pointers for more readable stack traces.

da1cf23efe [S390] Save prefix register for dump on panic
The dump tools expect that the saved prefix register points to the
lowcore of the dump cpu. Since we set the prefix register to 0 during
reipl/dump, we have to save the original prefix register. Before we
start the dump program, we copy the original prefix register to the
designated location in the lowcore.

a45e14148f [S390] Fix reboot hang on LPARs
Reboot hangs on LPARs without diag308 support. The reason for this is,
that before the reboot is done, the channel subsystem is shut down.
During the reset on each possible subchannel a "store subchannel" is
done. This operation can end in a program check interruption, if the
specified subchannel set is not implemented by the hardware. During
the reset, currently we do not have a program check handler, which
leads to the described kernel bug. We install now a new program check
handler for the reboot code to fix this problem.

Provide a custom copy_user_highpage() to deal with aliasing issues on
MIPS.  It uses kmap_coherent() to map an user page for kernel with same

	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

only relevant for cpufreq drivers that use IO ports which are not

08ed38b680 [IA64] enable trap code on slot 1
Because slot 1 of one instr bundle crosses border of two consecutive
8-bytes, kprobe on slot 1 is disabled. This patch enables kprobe on
slot1, it only replaces higher 8-bytes of the instruction bundle and
changes the exception code to ignore the low 12 bits of the break
number (which is across the border in the lower 8-bytes of the bundle).

For those instructions which must execute regardless qp bits,
kprobe on slot 1 is still disabled.

75f6a1de41 [IA64] Take defensive stance on ia64_pal_get_brand_info()
Stephane thought he saw a problem here (but was just confused
by the return value from ia64_pal_get_brand_info()).  But we
should be more defensive here in case an prototype PAL for
a future processor doesn't implement this PAL call.

a460ef8d0a [IA64] fix possible XPC deadlock when disconnecting
This patch eliminates a potential deadlock that is possible when XPC
disconnects a channel to a partition that has gone down. This deadlock will
occur if at least one of the kthreads created by XPC for the purpose of making
callouts to the channel's registerer is detained in the registerer and will
not be returning back to XPC until some registerer request occurs on the now
downed partition. The potential for a deadlock is removed by ensuring that
there always is a kthread available to make the channel disconnecting callout
to the registerer.

1cf24bdbbb [IA64] - Reduce overhead of FP exception logging messages
Improve the scalability of the fpswa code that rate-limits
logging of messages.

There are 2 distinctly different problems in this code.

1) If prctl is used to disable logging, last_time is never
   updated. The result is that fpu_swa_count is zeroed out on
   EVERY fp fault. This causes a very very hot cache line.
   The fix reduces the wallclock time of a 1024p FP exception test
   from 28734 sec to 19 sec!!!

2) On VERY large systems, excessive messages are logged because
   multiple cpus can each reset or increment fpu_swa_count at
   about the same time. The result is that hundreds of messages
   are logged each second. The fixes reduces the logging rate
   to ~1 per second.
