ce22e1d394 [SPARC64]: Fix booting on non-zero cpu.
The early per-cpu handling needs a slight tweak to work when booting
on a non-zero cpu.

We got away with this for a long time, but can't any longer as now
even printk() calls functions (cpu_clock() for example) that thus make
early references to per-cpu variables.

6c81c32f96 calibrate_delay() must be __cpuinit
calibrate_delay() must be __cpuinit, not __{dev,}init.

I've verified that this is correct for all users.

While doing the latter, I also did the following cleanups:
- remove pointless additional prototypes in C files
- ensure all users #include <linux/delay.h>

This fixes the following section mismatches with CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n,
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1128d): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:calibrate_delay (between 'check_cx686_slop' and 'set_cx86_reorder')

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.

941e492bdb read_current_timer() cleanups
- All implementations can be __devinit

- The function prototypes were in asm/timex.h but they all must be the same,
  so create a single declaration in linux/timex.h.

- uninline the sparc64 version to match the other architectures

- Don't bother #defining ARCH_HAS_READ_CURRENT_TIMER to a particular value.

38192d52f1 [SPARC64]: Temporarily remove IOMMU merging code.
Changeset fde6a3c82d ("iommu sg merging:
sparc64: make iommu respect the segment size limits") broke sparc64
because whilst it added the segment limiting code to the first pass of
SG mapping (in prepare_sg()) it did not add matching code to the
second pass handling (in fill_sg())

As a result the two passes disagree where the segment boundaries
should be, resulting in OOPSes, DMA corruption, and corrupted
superblocks.

4d672e7ac7 timerfd: new timerfd API
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

8f361453d8 [SPARC64]: Fix two kernel linear mapping setup bugs.
This was caught and identified by Greg Onufer.

Since we setup the 256M/4M bitmap table after taking over the trap
table, it's possible for some 4M mapping to get loaded in the TLB
beforhand which later will be 256M mappings.

This can cause illegal TLB multiple-match conditions.  Fix this by
setting up the bitmap before we take over the trap table.

Next, __flush_tlb_all() was not doing anything on hypervisor
platforms.  Fix by adding sun4v_mmu_demap_all() and calling it.

b488893a39 pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to user
This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.

The idea is:
 - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
   or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
 - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
   should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
 - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
   should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
   task's namespace the global one is to be used;
 - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
   the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

719023fb90 [SPARC64]: Fix boot failures due to bootmem.
Do not use *alloc_bootmem_low*(), because ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT
is 4GB and this results in boot failures if all of the physical
memory in the machine is above 4GB.

cba4fbbff2 remove include/asm-*/ipc.h
All asm/ipc.h files do only #include <asm-generic/ipc.h>.

This patch therefore removes all include/asm-*/ipc.h files and moves the
contents of include/asm-generic/ipc.h to include/linux/ipc.h.

7dc0b22e3c core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe
For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
intellegently process a core.  This infrastructure however has some
shortcommings which can be enhanced.  Specifically:

1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
   when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
   consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
   at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
   restrictions.

2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
   user space helper as an argv array.  The real core limit of the uid of the
   crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
   is overridden to zero when called).

3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
   recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
   crash.  Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
   mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
   the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
   deadlock.

This patch:

Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe.  In the event that
core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

e4dc1b14d8 Use list_head in binfmt handling
Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's.  This leads
to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt().  The downside
is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt.  This is not a problem, since
the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF +
something distro enabled for you).

Test-booted, played with executable .txt files, modprobe/rmmod binfmt_misc.
