bf2ae2b37c pageflags: standardize comment inclusion in asm-offsets.h and fix MIPS
Add the ability to pass comments into asm-offsets.h by generating asm
output like

-># comment line

Mips needs this feature to preserve the comments that are in
asm-mips/asm-offsets.h right now.

Then remove the special handling for mips from Kbuild and convert mips to use
the new string to include the comments.

950e4da324 arch: Remove unnecessary inclusions of asm/semaphore.h
None of these files use any of the functionality promised by
asm/semaphore.h.  It's possible that they rely on it dragging in some
unrelated header file, but I can't build all these files, so we'll have
fix any build failures as they come up.

64ac24e738 Generic semaphore implementation
Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility.  Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning.  Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.

b4dcaea36b Pb1200/DBAu1200: fix bad IDE resource size
The header files for the Pb1200/DBAu1200 boards have wrong definition for the
IDE interface's decoded range length -- it should be 512 bytes according to
what the IDE driver does.  In addition, the IDE platform device claims 1 byte
too many for its memory resource -- fix the platform code and the IDE driver
in accordance.

758e285fac [MIPS] Alchemy: work around clock misdetection on early Au1000
Work around the CPU clock miscalculation on Au1000DA/HA/HB due the
sys_cpupll register being write-only, i.e. actually do what the comment
before cal_r4off() function advertised for years but the code failed at.
This is achieved by just giving user a chance to define the clock
explicitly  in the board config. via CONFIG_SOC_AU1000_FREQUENCY option,
defaulting to 396 MHz if the option is not given...

The patch is based on the AMD's big unpublished patch, the issue seems to
be an undocumented errata (or feature :-)...

2eaa7ec286 [MIPS] Handle I-cache coherency in flush_cache_range()
So far flush_cache_range() did't consider the I-cache largely because it
did rarely ever matter to real world code.  This was working primarily
because normally code and data are don't share the same pages - with the
exception of MIPS16 code which uses address constants embedded between
the code.   The following sequence of events may break the code:

 o MIPS16 executable being loaded
 o dynamic linker relocates the address constants embedded into the code:
 o   Uses mprotect(2) to make code pages PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE
 o   Performs the actual relocations by writing to the pages which likely
     are COW.  Because no PROT_EXEC is set I-cache coherence will not be
     considered.
 o   Uses mprotect(2) to switch code pages back to PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC.
     This results in a call to flush_cache_range() which also does not
     consider I-caches.
 o => executing the page just having been relocated may now result in the
   I-cache getting refilled with stale data from memory.

4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

72a7fe3967 Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.

This patch:

Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.

Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

9cfe015aa4 get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_open
NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
more than 1024*1024 handles.

Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.

Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
exhaust.

This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload
needs it.
