Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
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.

Paul Mundt 0ea820cf9b sh: Move over to dynamically allocated FPU context.
This follows the x86 xstate changes and implements a task_xstate slab
cache that is dynamically sized to match one of hard FP/soft FP/FPU-less.

This also tidies up and consolidates some of the SH-2A/SH-4 FPU
fragmentation. Now fpu state restorers are commonly defined, with the
init_fpu()/fpu_init() mess reworked to follow the x86 convention.
The fpu_init() register initialization has been replaced by xstate setup
followed by writing out to hardware via the standard restore path.

As init_fpu() now performs a slab allocation a secondary lighterweight
restorer is also introduced for the context switch.

In the future the DSP state will be rolled in here, too.

More work remains for math emulation and the SH-5 FPU, which presently
uses its own special (UP-only) interfaces.

Paul Mundt 836624619b sh: Conditionalize gUSA support.
This conditionalizes gUSA support. gUSA is not supported on
SMP configurations, and it's not necessary there anyways due
to having other atomicity options (ie, movli.l/movco.l).

Anything implementing the LL/SC semantics (all SH-4A CPUs)
can switch to userspace atomicity implementations without
requiring gUSA. This is left default-enabled on all UP so
that glibc doesn't break.

Those that know what they are doing can disable this explicitly.

As pointed out by Saito-san, without the sr.bl manipulation we can

Paul Mundt 57be2b484a sh: clockevent/clocksource/hrtimers/nohz TMU support.
This adds basic support for clockevents and clocksources,
presently only implemented for TMU-based systems (which
are the majority of SH-3 and SH-4 systems).

The old NO_IDLE_HZ implementation is also dropped completely,
the only users of this were on TMU-based systems anyways.

More work needs to be done to generalize the TMU handling,
in that the current implementation is rather tied to the
notion of TMU0 and TMU1 utilization.

Additionally, as more SH timers switch over to this scheme,
we'll be able to gut most of the remaining system timer
infrastructure that existed before.

Paul Mundt 53f983a90d sh: Fix PC adjustments for varying opcode length.
There are a few different cases for figuring out how to
size the instruction. We read in the instruction located
at regs->pc - 4 when rewinding the opcode to figure out if
there's a 32-bit opcode before the faulting instruction, with
a default of a - 2 adjustment on a mismatch. In practice this
works for the cases where pc - 4 is just another 16-bit opcode,
or we happen to have a 32-bit and a 16-bit immediately
preceeding the pc value.

In the cases where we aren't rewinding, this is much less ugly..

We also don't bother fixing up the places where we're explicitly
dealing with 16-bit instructions, since this might lead to
confusion regarding the encoding size possibilities on other
CPU variants.

Paul Mundt f413d0d9fa sh: Use a jump call table for debug trap handlers.
This rips out most of the needlessly complicated sh_bios and kgdb
trap handling, and forces it all through a common fast dispatch path.
As more debug traps are inserted, it's important to keep them in sync
for all of the parts, not just SH-3/4.

As the SH-2 parts are unable to do traps in the >= 0x40 range, we
restrict the debug traps to the 0x30-0x3f range on all parts, and
also bump the kgdb breakpoint trap down in to this range (from 0xff
to 0x3c) so it's possible to use for nommu.

Optionally, this table can be padded out to catch spurious traps for
SH-3/4, but we don't do that yet..

Paul Mundt dc34d312c7 sh: BUG() handling through trapa vector.
Previously we haven't been doing anything with verbose BUG() reporting,
and we've been relying on the oops path for handling BUG()'s, which is
rather sub-optimal.

This switches BUG handling to use a fixed trapa vector (#0x3e) where we
construct a small bug frame post trapa instruction to get the context
right. This also makes it trivial to wire up a DIE_BUG for the atomic
die chain, which we couldn't really do before.

Nick Piggin 64c7c8f885 [PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle rework
Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid.  Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.

* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
  and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
  atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
  when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
  protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.

- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
  won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.

- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
  TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.

- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
  after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.

Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.

* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
  becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
  (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.

- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
  to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
  assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
  held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
  to the idle thread.

- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
  most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
  set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
  a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.

  Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
  can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
  the idle task.

  POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

Nick Piggin 5bfb5d690f [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks
Run idle threads with preempt disabled.

Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?

Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.

We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.

After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.

By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

Eric W. Biederman 59586e5a26 [PATCH] Don't export machine_restart, machine_halt, or machine_power_off.
machine_restart, machine_halt and machine_power_off are machine
specific hooks deep into the reboot logic, that modules
have no business messing with.  Usually code should be calling
kernel_restart, kernel_halt, kernel_power_off, or
emergency_restart. So don't export machine_restart,
machine_halt, and machine_power_off so we can catch buggy users.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
