[PATCH] ARM: 2651/3: kernel helpers for NPTL support
Patch from Nicolas Pitre
This patch entirely reworks the kernel assistance for NPTL on ARM.
In particular this provides an efficient way to retrieve the TLS
value and perform atomic operations without any instruction emulation
nor special system call. This even allows for pre ARMv6 binaries to
be forward compatible with SMP systems without any penalty.
The problematic and performance critical operations are performed
through segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space
at a fixed address in kernel memory. Those fixed entry points are
within the vector page so we basically get it for free as no extra
memory page is required and nothing else may be mapped at that
location anyway.
This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO
implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with
constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments.
And since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to
user code, the overhead of a VDSO far call would add a significant
overhead to such minimalistic operations.
The ARM_NR_set_tls syscall also changed number. This is done for two
reasons:
1) this patch changes the way the TLS value was previously meant to be
retrieved, therefore we ensure whatever library using the old way
gets fixed (they only exist in private tree at the moment since the
NPTL work is still progressing).
2) the previous number was allocated in a range causing an undefined
instruction trap on kernels not supporting that syscall and it was
determined that allocating it in a range returning -ENOSYS would be
much nicer for libraries trying to determine if the feature is
present or not.

As noted in http://www.arm.com/linux/patch-2.6.9-arm1.gz, the "Faulty SWP instruction on 1136 doesn't set bit 11 in DFSR." So the v6_early_abort handler does not report the correct rd/wr direction for the SWP instruction which may result in SEGVS or hangs. In order to work around this problem, this patch merely updates the fix contained in the ARM Ltd. patch to use the macroised abort handler fixups.

[PATCH] ARM: 2659/1: do not assign PCI I/O address zero on IXP2000
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
Assigning the address zero to a PCI device BAR causes some part of the
PCI subsystem to believe that resource allocation for that BAR failed
due to resource conflicts, which will make attempts to enable the
device fail. Work around this by assigning I/O addresses starting
from 00010000.
While we're at it, make the PCI I/O resource end at 0001ffff, since we
only have 64k of outbound I/O window on the IXP2000, and we don't do
bank switching.

[PATCH] ARM: 2658/1: start ixp2000 pci memory resource at 0xe0000000
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
On the IXDP2800, the bootloader does an awful job of configuring
the PCI bus, so we make linux reconfigure everything. Having a 1:1
pci:phys address mapping generally simplifies everything, so try to
allocate PCI addresses from the [e0000000..ffffffff] range, which is
the physical address range of the outbound PCI window on the IXP2000.
This does not affect any of the other IXP2000 platforms since they
all use their bootloader's PCI resource assignment.

[PATCH] time interpolator: Fix settimeofday inaccuracy
settimeofday will set the time a little bit too early on systems using
time interpolation since it subtracts the current interpolator offset
from the time. This used to be necessary with the code in 2.6.9 and earlier
but the new code resets the time interpolator after setting the time.
Thus the time is set too early and gettimeofday will return a time slightly
before the time specified with settimeofday if invoked immeditely after
settimeofday.
This removes the obsolete subtraction of the time interpolator offset
and makes settimeofday set the time accurately.

[PATCH] ARM: 2653/1: Fix memset and memzero macro double-reference of parameters
Patch from Deepak Saxena
The current memset() and memzero() macros on ARM reference the
incoming parameters more than once and this can cause uninted
side-effects. The issue was found while debugging SCTP protocol
and with the specific usage of memzero(skb_put(skb,size),size).
This call would call skb_put(skb,size) twice leading to badness.
The fixed version copies the incoming parameters into local
variables and uses those instead.

[TG3]: Fix tg3_restart_ints()
tg3_restart_ints() is called to re-enable interrupts after tg3_poll()
has finished all the work. It calls tg3_cond_int() to force an interrupt
if the status block updated bit is set. The updated bit will be set if
there is a new status block update sometime during tg3_poll() and it can
be very often. The worst part is that even if all the work has been
processed, the updated bit remains set and an interrupt will be forced
unnecessarily.
The fix is to call tg3_has_work() instead to determine if new work is
posted before forcing an interrupt. The way to force an interrupt is
also changed to use "coalesce_now" instead of "SETINT". The former is
generally a safer way to force the interrupt.
Also deleted the first parameter to tg3_has_work() which is unused.

[TG3]: Fix bug in tg3_rx()
This patch fixes a bug that causes tg3_has_work() to always return 1.
rx work is determined by comparing tp->rx_rcb_ptr with the current hw

>rx_rcb_ptr is a free running counter that goes up beyond the ring size.
After the ring wraps around once, tg3_has_work() will always return 1.
The fix is to always do modulo arithmetic on tp->rx_rcb_ptr.

This probably should have been fixed when I fixed up the generic build for

CONFIG_PM is allowable for generic builds but not for sn2 builds, which
doesn't make much sense, and in fact breaks the build if recent ACPI bits are
added to the tree. It looks like the only arch that needs to prevent
CONFIG_PM stuff is the ski simulator (though those options could probably use
some cleanup as well), so remove the big conditional and replace it with a
simple test for IA64_HP_SIM instead.
