A number of standard posix types are used in exported headers, which
is not allowed if __STRICT_KERNEL_NAMES is defined. In order to
get rid of the non-__STRICT_KERNEL_NAMES part and to make sane headers
the default, we have to change them all to safe types.
There are also still some leftovers in reiserfs_fs.h, elfcore.h
and coda.h, but these files have not compiled in user space for
a long time.
This leaves out the various integer types ({u_,u,}int{8,16,32,64}_t),
which we take care of separately.

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.
The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.
for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
to disable them:
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

Impact: fix linker screwup on x86_32
Recent x86_64 zerobased patches introduced PERCPU_VADDR() to put
.data.percpu to a predefined address and re-defined PERCPU() in terms
of it. The new macro defined one extra symbol, __per_cpu_load, for
LMA of the section so that the init data could be accessed. This new
symbol introduced the following problems to x86_32.
1. If __per_cpu_load is defined outside of .data.percpu as an absolute
symbol, relocation generation for relocatable kernel fails due to
absolute relocation.
2. If __per_cpu_load is put inside .data.percpu with absolute address
assignment to work around #1, linker gets confused and under
certain configurations ends up relocating the symbol against
.data.percpu such that the load address gets added on top of
already set load address.
As x86_32 doesn't use predefined address for .data.percpu, there's no
need for it to care about the possibility of __per_cpu_load being
different from __per_cpu_start.
This patch defines PERCPU() separately so that __per_cpu_load is
defined inside .data.percpu so that everything is ordinary
linking-wise.

It is an optimization and a cleanup, and adds the following new
generic percpu methods:
percpu_read()
percpu_write()
percpu_add()
percpu_sub()
percpu_and()
percpu_or()
percpu_xor()
and implements support for them on x86. (other architectures will fall
back to a default implementation)
The advantage is that for example to read a local percpu variable,
instead of this sequence:
return __get_cpu_var(var);
ffffffff8102ca2b: 48 8b 14 fd 80 09 74 mov -0x7e8bf680(,%rdi,8),%rdx
ffffffff8102ca32: 81
ffffffff8102ca33: 48 c7 c0 d8 59 00 00 mov $0x59d8,%rax
ffffffff8102ca3a: 48 8b 04 10 mov (%rax,%rdx,1),%rax
We can get a single instruction by using the optimized variants:
return percpu_read(var);
ffffffff8102ca3f: 65 48 8b 05 91 8f fd mov %gs:0x7efd8f91(%rip),%rax
I also cleaned up the x86-specific APIs and made the x86 code use
these new generic percpu primitives.
tj: * fixed generic percpu_sub() definition as Roel Kluin pointed out
* added percpu_and() for completeness's sake
* made generic percpu ops atomic against preemption

Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately. %gs points
to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset.
This patch folds pda into percpu area.
Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of
the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40. To achieve
this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is
added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu
area.
After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the
data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to
point to the actual pda. This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need
to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0
already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas().
This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call
sites.
A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into
per cpu area" patch.

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]
This patch makes percpu symbols zerobased on x86_64 SMP by adding
PERCPU_VADDR() to vmlinux.lds.h which helps setting explicit vaddr on
the percpu output section and using it in vmlinux_64.lds.S. A new
PHDR is added as existing ones cannot contain sections near address
zero. PERCPU_VADDR() also adds a new symbol __per_cpu_load which
always points to the vaddr of the loaded percpu data.init region.
The following adjustments have been made to accomodate the address
change.
* code to locate percpu gdt_page in head_64.S is updated to add the
load address to the gdt_page offset.
* __per_cpu_load is used in places where access to the init data area
is necessary.
* pda->data_offset is initialized soon after C code is entered as zero
value doesn't work anymore.
This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Base percpu
variables at zero" patch.

Unlike other alphas, marvel doesn't have real PC-style CMOS clock hardware
- RTC accesses are emulated via PAL calls. Unfortunately, for unknown
reason these calls work only on CPU #0. So current implementation for
arbitrary CPU makes CMOS_READ/WRITE to be executed on CPU #0 via IPI.
However, for obvious reason this doesn't work with standard
get/set_rtc_time() functions, where a bunch of CMOS accesses is done with
disabled interrupts.
Solved by making the IPI calls for entire get/set_rtc_time() functions,
not for individual CMOS accesses. Which is also a lot more effective
performance-wise.
The patch is largely based on the code from Jay Estabrook.
My changes:
- tweak asm-generic/rtc.h by adding a couple of #defines to
avoid a massive code duplication in arch/alpha/include/asm/rtc.h;
- sys_marvel.c: fix get/set_rtc_time() return values (Jay's FIXMEs).
NOTE: this fixes *only* LIB_RTC drivers. Legacy (CONFIG_RTC) driver
wont't work on marvel. Actually I think that we should just disable
CONFIG_RTC on alpha (maybe in 2.6.30?), like most other arches - AFAIK,
all modern distributions use LIB_RTC anyway.

Impact: reduce kernel image size
Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel
is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops.
Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single
asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem.
Probably should be done for other architectures too.
Ingo then found a better fix that only requires
a single line change, but it unfortunately only
works on gcc 4.3.
On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig
difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.
With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build:

While looking at reducing the amount of architecture namespace pollution
in the generic kernel, I found that asm/irq.h is included in the vast
majority of compilations on ARM (around 650 files.)
Since asm/irq.h includes a sub-architecture include file on ARM, this
causes a negative impact on the ccache's ability to re-use the build
results from other sub-architectures, so we have a desire to reduce the
dependencies on asm/irq.h.
It turns out that a major cause of this is the needless include of
linux/hardirq.h into asm-generic/local.h. The patch below removes this
include, resulting in some 250 to 300 files (around half) of the kernel
then omitting asm/irq.h.
My test builds still succeed, provided two ARM files are fixed
(arch/arm/kernel/traps.c and arch/arm/mm/fault.c) - so there may be
negative impacts for this on other architectures.
Note that x86 does not include asm/irq.h nor linux/hardirq.h in its
asm/local.h, so this patch can be viewed as bringing the generic version
into line with the x86 version.

As you can see by the above, there's a bit of work to do in rethinking
the use of some unlikelys and likelys. Note: the unlikely case had 71 hits
that were more than 25%.
Note: After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton
showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up
the following ideas from:
1) Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values.
2) Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers.
3) Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely
annotations from vsyscall_64.c.
Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar
for their feed back on this patch.
(*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls
(a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.
