From Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@canonical.com>:
Based on Linus Walleij's ARM LED consolidation work, this patchset introduce a
new generic led trigger for CPU not only for ARM but also for others.
For enabling CPU idle event, CPU arch code should call ledtrig_cpu() stub to
trigger idle start or idle end event.
These patches convert old style LED driver in arch/arm to gpio_led or new led
driver interface. Against 3.5 release and build successfully for all the machines.
Test ledtrig-cpu driver on OMAP4 Panda board.
v9 --> v10
* fix compiling issue on versatile_defconfig reported by Russell King
* rebase to 3.5 kernel and move patches to new git tree
v8 --> v9:
* use mutex to replace rw_sema pointed out by Tim Gardner
* add a new struct led_trigger_cpu
* add lock_is_inited to record mutex lock initialization
v6 --> v7:
* add a patch to unify the led-trigger name
* fix some typo pointed
* use BUG_ON to detect CPU numbers during building stage
v5 --> v6:
* replace __get_cpu_var() to per_cpu()
* remove smp_processor_id() which is wrong with for_each_possible_cpu()
* test on real OMAP4 Panda board
* add comments about CPU hotplug in the CPU LED trigger driver
v4 --> v5:
* rebase all the patches on top of latest linux-next
* replace on_each_cpu() with for_each_possible_cpu()
* add some description of ledtrig_cpu() API
* remove old leds code from driver nwflash.c, which should use a new led trigger then
* this trigger driver can be built as module now
v3 --> v4:
* fix a typo pointed by Jochen Friedrich
* fix some building errors
* add Reviewed-by and Tested-by into patch log
v2 --> v3:
* almost rewrote the whole ledtrig-cpu driver, which is more simple
* every CPU will have a per-CPU trigger
* cpu trigger can be assigned to any leds
* fix a lockdep issue in led-trigger common code
* other fix according to review
v1 --> v2:
* remove select operations in Kconfig of every machines
* add back supporting of led in core module of mach-integrator
* solidate name scheme in ledtrig-cpu.c
* add comments of CPU_LED_* cpu led events
* fold patches of RealView and Versatile together
* add machine_is_ check during assabet led driver init
* add some Acked-by in patch logs
* remove code for simpad machine in machine-sa11000, since Jochen Friedrich
introduced gpiolib and gpio-led driver for simpad
* on Assabet and Netwinder machine, LED operations is reversed like:
setting bit means turn off leds
clearing bit means turn on leds
* add a new function to read CM_CTRL register for led driver

The CPU will endlessly spin at the end of machine_halt and
machine_restart calls. However, this will lead to a soft lockup
warning after about 20 seconds, if CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR is enabled,
as system timer is still alive.
Disable interrupt before going to spin endlessly, so that the lockup
warning will never be seen.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

The current user mapping for the vectors page is inserted as a `horrible
hack vma' into each task via arch_setup_additional_pages. This causes
problems with the MM subsystem and vm_normal_page, as described here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/55
Following the suggestion from Hugh in the above thread, this patch uses
the gate_vma for the vectors user mapping, therefore consolidating
the horrible hack VMAs into one.

The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).
Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.
The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.
The qemu code which implements this features is at:
http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch
In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.
I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.
This patch:
The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

Let's factor out the need_resched() check instead of having it duplicated
in every pm_idle implementations to avoid inconsistencies (omap2_pm_idle
is missing it already).
The forceful re-enablement of IRQs after pm_idle has returned can go.
The warning certainly doesn't trigger for existing users.
To get rid of the pm_idle calling convention oddity, let's introduce
arm_pm_idle() allowing for the local_irq_enable() to be factored out
from SOC specific implementations. The default pm_idle function becomes
a wrapper for arm_pm_idle and it takes care of enabling IRQs closer to
where they are initially disabled.
And finally move the comment explaining the reason for that turning off
of IRQs to a more proper location.

Tools such as kexec and CPU hotplug require a way to reset the processor
and branch to some code in physical space. This requires various bits of
jiggery pokery with the caches and MMU which, when it goes wrong, tends
to lock up the system.
This patch fleshes out the soft_restart implementation so that it
branches to the reset code using the identity mapping. This requires us
to change to a temporary stack, held within the kernel image as a static
array, to avoid conflicting with the new view of memory.

Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.
Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.
To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().
If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().
Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:
- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:
- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.
There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.
Split this function into:
- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.
- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).
To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().
This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.

This patch implements a workaround for PL310 erratum 769419. On
revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does not
automatically drain. This can cause normal, non-cacheable writes to be
retained when the memory system is idle, leading to suboptimal I/O
performance for drivers using coherent DMA.
This patch adds an optional wmb() call to the cpu_idle loop. On systems
with an outer cache, this causes an explicit flush of the store buffer.

We only need to set the system up for a soft-restart if we're going to
be doing a soft-restart. Provide a new function (soft_restart()) which
does the setup and final call for this, and make platforms use it.
Eliminate the call to setup_restart() from the default handler.
This means that platforms arch_reset() function is no longer called with
the page tables prepared for a soft-restart, and caches will still be
enabled.

Many of the core ARM kernel files are not modules, but just
including module.h for exporting symbols. Now these files can
use the lighter footprint export.h for this role.
There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-*
don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build. They will have
to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

Currently, show_regs calls __backtrace which does
nothing if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set. Switch to
dump_stack which handles both CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER and
CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND correctly.
__backtrace is now superseded by dump_stack in general
and show_regs was the last caller so remove __backtrace
as well.

The kernel makes the high vector page visible to user space. This page
contains (amongst others) small code segments that can be executed in
user space. Make this page visible through ptrace and /proc/<pid>/mem
in order to let gdb perform code parsing needed for proper unwinding.
For example, the ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK handler actually has a stack
frame -- it returns to a PC value stored on the user's stack. To
unwind after a "sleep" system call was interrupted twice, GDB would
have to recognize this situation and understand that stack frame
layout -- which it currently cannot do.
We could fix this by hard-coding addresses in the vector page range into
GDB, but that isn't really portable as not all of those addresses are
guaranteed to remain stable across kernel releases. And having the gdb
process make an exception for this page and get content from its own
address space for it looks strange, and it is not future proof either.
Being located above PAGE_OFFSET, this vma cannot be deleted by
user space code.

For debuggers to take advantage of the hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel,
it is necessary to expose the API calls via a ptrace interface.
This patch exposes the hardware breakpoints framework as a collection of
virtual registers, accesible using PTRACE_SETHBPREGS and PTRACE_GETHBPREGS
requests. The breakpoints are stored in the debug_info struct of the running
thread.

x86 calls machine_shutdown() from the various machine_*() calls which
take the machine down ready for halting, restarting, etc, and uses
this to bring the system safely to a point where those actions can be
performed. Such actions are stopping the secondary CPUs.
So, change the ARM implementation of these to reflect what x86 does.
This solves kexec problems on ARM SMP platforms, where the secondary
CPUs were left running across the kexec call.

All implementations of cpu_proc_fin() start by disabling interrupts
and then flush caches. Rather than have every processors proc_fin()
implementation do this, move it out into generic code - and move the
cache flush past setup_mm_for_reboot() (so it can benefit from having
caches still enabled.)
This allows cpu_proc_fin() to become independent of the L1/L2 cache
types, and eventually move the L2 cache flushing into the L2 support
code.

Fix this by ensuring that the lockdep interrupt state is manipulated in
the appropriate places. We essentially treat userspace as an entirely
separate environment which isn't relevant to lockdep (lockdep doesn't
monitor userspace.) We don't tell lockdep that IRQs will be enabled
in that environment.
Instead, when creating kernel threads (which is a rare event compared
to entering/leaving userspace) we have to update the lockdep state. Do
this by starting threads with IRQs disabled, and in the kthread helper,
tell lockdep that IRQs are enabled, and enable them.
This provides lockdep with a consistent view of the current IRQ state
in kernel space.
This also revert portions of 0d928b0b61
which didn't fix the problem.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
