2aae950b21 x86_64: Add vDSO for x86-64 with gettimeofday/clock_gettime/getcpu
This implements new vDSO for x86-64.  The concept is similar
to the existing vDSOs on i386 and PPC.  x86-64 has had static
vsyscalls before,  but these are not flexible enough anymore.

A vDSO is a ELF shared library supplied by the kernel that is mapped into
user address space.  The vDSO mapping is randomized for each process
for security reasons.

Doing this was needed for clock_gettime, because clock_gettime
always needs a syscall fallback and having one at a fixed
address would have made buffer overflow exploits too easy to write.

The vdso can be disabled with vdso=0

It currently includes a new gettimeofday implemention and optimized
clock_gettime(). The gettimeofday implementation is slightly faster
than the one in the old vsyscall.  clock_gettime is significantly faster
than the syscall for CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME.

The new calls are generally faster than the old vsyscall.

Advantages over the old x86-64 vsyscalls:
- Extensible
- Randomized
- Cleaner
- Easier to virtualize (the old static address range previously causes
overhead e.g. for Xen because it has to create special page tables for it)

Weak points:
- glibc support still to be written

The VM interface is partly based on Ingo Molnar's i386 version.

Includes compile fix from Joachim Deguara

a586df067a x86: Support __attribute__((__cold__)) in gcc 4.3
gcc 4.3 supports a new __attribute__((__cold__)) to mark functions cold. Any
path directly leading to a call of this function will be unlikely. And gcc
will try to generate smaller code for the function itself.

Please use with care. The code generation advantage isn't large and in most
cases it is not worth uglifying code with this.

This patch marks some common error functions like panic(), printk()
as cold.  This will longer term make many unlikely()s unnecessary, although
we can keep them for now for older compilers.

BUG is not marked cold because there is currently no way to tell
gcc to mark a inline function told.

Also all __init and __exit functions are marked cold. With a non -Os
build this will tell the compiler to generate slightly smaller code
for them. I think it currently only uses less alignments for labels,
but that might change in the future.

One disadvantage over *likely() is that they cannot be easily instrumented
to verify them.

Another drawback is that only the latest gcc 4.3 snapshots support this.
Unfortunately we cannot detect this using the preprocessor. This means older
snapshots will fail now. I don't think that's a problem because they are
unreleased compilers that nobody should be using.

gcc also has a __hot__ attribute, but I don't see any sense in using
this in the kernel right now. But someday I hope gcc will be able
to use more aggressive optimizing for hot functions even in -Os,
if that happens it should be added.

Includes compile fix from Thomas Gleixner.

b520b85a96 i386: Move all simple string operations out of line
The compiler generally generates reasonable inline code for the simple
cases and for the rest it's better for code size for them to be out of line.
Also there they can be potentially optimized more in the future.

In fact they probably should be in a .S file because they're all pure
assembly, but that's for another day.

Also some code style cleanup on them while I was on it (this seems
to be the last untouched really early Linux code)

This saves ~12k text for a defconfig kernel with gcc 4.1.

ae2c6dcf90 x86_64: various cleanups in NUMA scan node
In acpi_scan_nodes(), we immediately return -1 if acpi_numa <= 0, meaning
we haven't detected any underlying ACPI topology or we have explicitly
disabled its use from the command-line with numa=noacpi.

acpi_table_print_srat_entry() and acpi_table_parse_srat() are only
referenced within drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we can mark them as static and
remove their prototypes from the header file.

Likewise, pxm_to_node_map[] and node_to_pxm_map[] are only used within
drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we mark them as static and remove their externs
from the header file.

The automatic 'result' variable is unused in acpi_numa_init(), so it's
removed.

78b599aed6 x86_64: Don't rely on a unique IO-APIC ID
Linux 64bit only uses the IO-APIC ID as an internal cookie. In the future
there could be some cases where the IO-APIC IDs are not unique because
they share an 8 bit space with CPUs and if there are enough CPUs
it is difficult to get them that. But Linux needs the io apic ID
internally for its data structures. Assign unique IO APIC ids on
table parsing.

TBD do for 32bit too

250a269da4 atmel_lcdfb: Fix STN LCD support
Fixes STN LCD support for the atmel_lcdfb framebuffer driver.

This patch is the result of a work from Jan Altenberg and has
been tested on a Hitachi SP06Q002 on at91sam9261ek.

It adds a Kconfig switch that enables the proper LCD in the
board configuration file (STN or TFT). The switch is used
in arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9261_devices.c & board-sam9261ek.c
as an example.

This patch includes the "Fix wrong line_length calculation"
little one from Jan and Haavard (submitted earlier).

d6269543ef slob: reduce list scanning
The version of SLOB in -mm always scans its free list from the beginning,
which results in small allocations and free segments clustering at the
beginning of the list over time.  This causes the average search to scan
over a large stretch at the beginning on each allocation.

By starting each page search where the last one left off, we evenly
distribute the allocations and greatly shorten the average search.

Without this patch, kernel compiles on a 1.5G machine take a large amount
of system time for list scanning.  With this patch, compiles are within a
few seconds of performance of a SLAB kernel with no notable change in
system time.

41f9dc5c87 remove handle_mm_fault export
Now that arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/fault.c is always built in
the kernel there is no need to export handle_mm_fault anymore.

61d488da9b i386: intel_cacheinfo.c:find_num_cache_leaves() should be __cpuinit
WARNING: arch/i386/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0xb6a7): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:find_num_cache_leaves (between 'init_intel_cacheinfo' and 'cache_shared_cpu_map_setup')

It could be __init_refok, but gcc >= 4.0 anyway inlines it into the
__cpuinit init_intel_cacheinfo(), and IMHO it's too small for "noinline
__init".

3704540b48 tick management: spread timer interrupt
After discussing w/ Thomas over IRC, it seems the issue is the sched tick
fires on every cpu at the same time, causing extra lock contention.

This smaller change, adds an extra offset per cpu so the ticks don't line up.
This patch also drops the idle latency from 40us down to under 20us.

18de5bc4c1 clockevents: fix resume logic
We need to make sure, that the clockevent devices are resumed, before
the tick is resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this.

Add CLOCK_EVT_MODE_RESUME and call the set mode functions of the clock
event devices before resuming the tick / oneshot functionality.

Fixup the existing users.

Thanks to Nigel Cunningham for tracking down a long standing thinko,
which affected the jinxed VAIO.

Fix following section mismatch warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x121e62): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__alloc_bootmem (between 'vgacon_startup' and 'vgacon_scrolldelta')

Browsing the code it seems that vgacon_scrollback_startup() is only called
during the init phase so the reference to the .init.text section is OK.

Teach modpost not to warn using ___init_refok.

80b16c192e dm io: fix panic on large request
Flush workqueue before releasing bioset and mopools in dm-crypt.  There can
be finished but not yet released request.

Call chain causing oops:
  run workqueue
    dec_pending
      bio_endio(...);
      	<remove device request - remove mempool>
      mempool_free(io, cc->io_pool);

This usually happens when cryptsetup create temporary
luks mapping in the beggining of crypt device activation.

When dm-core calls destructor crypt_dtr, no new request
are possible.
