Add cmpxchg_local to ppc
Add a local processor version of cmpxchg for ppc.
Implements __cmpxchg_u32_local and uses it for 32 bits cmpxchg_local.
It uses the non NMI safe cmpxchg_local_generic for 1, 2 and 8 bytes
cmpxchg_local.

cmpxchg_local and cmpxchg64_local will use the architecture specific
__cmpxchg_local_u32 for 32 bits arguments, and use the generic
__cmpxchg_local_generic for 8, 16 and 64 bits arguments.
Add cmpxchg_local, cmpxchg64 and cmpxchg64_local to ia64
Add the primitives cmpxchg_local, cmpxchg64 and cmpxchg64_local to ia64. They
use cmpxchg_acq as underlying macro, just like the already existing ia64

Changelog:
ia64 cmpxchg_local coding style fix
Quoting Keith Owens:
Which makes it absolutely clear that they are the same code. With your
patch, humans have to do a string compare of two defines to see if they
are the same.
Note cmpxchg is *not* a performance win vs interrupt disable / enable on IA64.

Add cmpxchg_local to asm-generic for per cpu atomic operations
Emulates the cmpxchg_local by disabling interrupts around variable modification.
This is not reentrant wrt NMIs and MCEs. It is only protected against normal
interrupts, but this is enough for architectures without such interrupt sources
or if used in a context where the data is not shared with such handlers.
It can be used as a fallback for architectures lacking a real cmpxchg
instruction.
For architectures that have a real cmpxchg but does not have NMIs or MCE,
testing which of the generic vs architecture specific cmpxchg is the fastest
should be done.
asm-generic/cmpxchg.h defines a cmpxchg that uses cmpxchg_local. It is meant to
be used as a cmpxchg fallback for architectures that do not support SMP.
* Patch series comments
Using cmpxchg_local shows a performance improvements of the fast path goes from
a 66% speedup on a Pentium 4 to a 14% speedup on AMD64.

In this test, we seem to remove 10 cycles from the kmalloc fast path.
On small allocations, it gives a 14% performance increase. kfree fast
path also seems to have a 10 cycles improvement.

Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0
struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.
Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

iget: remove iget() and the read_inode() super op as being obsolete
Remove the old iget() call and the read_inode() superblock operation it uses
as these are really obsolete, and the use of read_inode() does not produce
proper error handling (no distinction between ENOMEM and EIO when marking an
inode bad).
Furthermore, this removes the temptation to use iget() to find an inode by
number in a filesystem from code outside that filesystem.
iget_locked() should be used instead. A new function is added in an earlier
patch (iget_failed) that is to be called to mark an inode as bad, unlock it
and release it should the get routine fail. Mark iget() and read_inode() as
being obsolete and remove references to them from the documentation.
Typically a filesystem will be modified such that the read_inode function
becomes an internal iget function, for example the following:

whilst it does appear to retain a reference to it, it doesn't appear to
destroy the reference if the inode goes away.
(*) hppfs_iget() should perhaps subsume init_inode() and hppfs_read_inode().

was being called with inode number 0, which forms the lookup key.

This patch:
VMCOREINFO_SIZE() should be renamed VMCOREINFO_STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always
returning the size of the struct with a given name. This change would allow
VMCOREINFO_TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become VMCOREINFO_SIZE() since it need not

addresses ioremap()ped appropriately using accessory functions rather than
unportable direct assignments.
Some adjustments to code are made to reflect the architecture of the
interface, which is a centrally controlled multiport (or, as referred to
from DEC documentation, a serial line multiplexer, going up to 8 lines
originally) rather than a bundle of separate ports.
Types are changed, where applicable, to specify the width of hardware
registers explicitly. The interrupt handler is now managed in the
->startup() and ->shutdown() calls for consistency with other drivers and
also in preparation to handle the handover from the initial firmware-based
console gracefully.

dz: always check if it is safe to console_putchar()
Polled transmission is tricky enough with the DZ11 design. While "loop" is
set to a high value, conceptually you are not allowed to transmit without
checking whether the device offers the right transmission line (yes, it is the
device that selects the line -- the driver has no control over it other than
disabling the transmitter offered if it is the wrong one), so the loop has to
be run at least once.
Well, the '1977 or PDP11 view of how serial lines should be handled... Except
that the serial interface used to be quite an impressive board back then
rather than chip.

drivers/edac: pci: broken parity regression
Using the EDAC code in kernel.org kernel version 2.6.23.8 I am seeing the
following problem:
In the kernel there is a pci device attribute located in sysfs that is
checked by the EDAC PCI scanning code. If that attribute is set,
PCI parity/error scannining is skipped for that device. The attribute
is:
broken_parity_status
as is located in /sys/devices/pci<XXX>/0000:XX:YY.Z directorys for
PCI devices.
I don't think this check was actually implemented. I have a misbehaved card
that reports a parity error every 1000 ms:
Nov 25 07:28:43 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0
Nov 25 07:28:44 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0
Nov 25 07:28:45 beta kernel: EDAC PCI: Master Data Parity Error on 0000:05:01.0
Setting that card's broken_parity_status bit did not mask the error:
I looked through the EDAC code and did not readily see any reference to
broken_parity_status at all (which makes sense based on the behavior I am
seeing). I applied the following patch as a proof-of-concept and now EDAC's
PCI parity error reporting behaves as documented:

Good regression find, bryan. It used to work. sigh.

I had had "iff", meaning "if and only if" in a comment. However, except for
ancient mathematicians, the abbreviation "iff" was a tad too cryptic. Cliff
changed it to "if", presumably figuring that the "iff" was a typo. However,
it was the "only if" half of the conjunction that was most interesting.
Reword to emphasis the "only if" aspect.
The locking comment for remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() was wrong; it said
callback_mutex had to be held on entry. The opposite is true.
Several mentions of attach_task() in comments needed to be
changed to cgroup_attach_task().
A comment about notify_on_release was no longer relevant,
as the line of code it had commented, namely:
set_bit(CS_RELEASED_RESOURCE, &parent->flags);
is no longer present in that place in the cpuset.c code.
Similarly a comment about notify_on_release before the
scan_for_empty_cpusets() routine was no longer relevant.
Removed extra parentheses and unnecessary return statement.

is done anyway, via the cpuset_attach() callback from cgroup_attach_task().

hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent
This patch corrects a situation that occurs when one disables all the cpus in
a cpuset.
Currently, the disabled (cpu-less) cpuset inherits the cpus of its parent,
which is incorrect because it may then overlap its cpu-exclusive sibling.
Tasks of an empty cpuset should be moved to the cpuset which is the parent of
their current cpuset. Or if the parent cpuset has no cpus, to its parent,
etc.
And the empty cpuset should be released (if it is flagged notify_on_release).
Depends on the cgroup_scan_tasks() function (proposed by David Rientjes) to
iterate through all tasks in the cpu-less cpuset. We are deliberately
avoiding a walk of the tasklist.
