Paul Gortmaker ecea4ab6d3 arm: convert core files from module.h to export.h
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.

Arnd Bergmann 63216d3c23 ARM: export rtc_lock for nvram driver

Rafael J. Wysocki 328f5cc302 ARM: Use struct syscore_ops instead of sysdevs for PM in common code
Convert some ARM architecture's common code to using
struct syscore_ops objects for power management instead of sysdev
classes and sysdevs.

This simplifies the code and reduces the kernel's memory footprint.
It also is necessary for removing sysdevs from the kernel entirely in
the future.

Russell King 211baa7016 ARM: sched_clock: allow init_sched_clock() to be called early
sched_clock is supposed to be initialized early - in the recently added
init_early platform hook.  However, in doing so we end up calling
mod_timer() before the timer lists are initialized, resulting in an
oops.

Split the initialization in two - the part which the platform calls
early which starts things off.  The addition of the timer can be
delayed until after we have more of the kernel initialized - when the
normal time sources are initialized.

Russell King 8ff1443c54 ARM: simplify early machine init hooks
Rather than storing each machine init hook separately, store a
pointer to the machine description record and dereference this
instead.  This pointer is only available while the init sections
are present, which is not a problem as we only use it from init
code.

Andi Kleen 4a0b2b4dbe sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function
This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Atsushi Nemoto 8ef386092d [PATCH] kill wall_jiffies
With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies.
So we can kill wall_jiffies completely.

This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior
except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a
condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1".  This condition is never met so I
suppose it is just a bug.  I just remove that condition only instead of
kill the whole "if" block.

Atsushi Nemoto 3171a0305d [PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
timer interrupt handler with this change.

Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update.  Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation.  Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.

This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c66 needless.  So this patch removes
it.

As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies.  (This patch does not really
remove wall_jiffies.  It would be another cleanup patch)

Also from Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Function next_timer_interrupt() got broken with a recent patch
6ba1b91213 as sys_nanosleep() was moved to
hrtimer.  This broke things as next_timer_interrupt() did not check hrtimer
tree for next event.

Function next_timer_interrupt() is needed with dyntick (CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ,
VST) implementations, as the system can be in idle when next hrtimer event
was supposed to happen.  At least ARM and S390 currently use
next_timer_interrupt().

Russell King 8749af6821 [PATCH] ARM: Generic Dynamic Tick Timer support for ARM, take 4
This patch adds support for Dynamic Tick Timer for ARM. Dynamic Tick is
also known as VST (Variable Scheduling Timeouts).

Dynamic Tick has been in use in the OMAP tree since last October.  The
patch is not intrusive, and does not do anything unless CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
is defined.  This patch has the following fixed based on comments from
RMK:
- Time is updated before calling interrupt handlers.
- Added new interrupt flag SA_TIMER to avoid duplicate timer interrupts
- Moved struct dyn_tick_timer to time.h until we at some point probably
  have an arch independent dyn-tick.h
- Cleaned up testing for DYN_TICK_ENABLED in irq.c

 I've cleaned up this patch to fix some remaining issues:
 - Call the timer tick handler with irqs disabled, as it would be from
   a normal interrupt
 - if we have a dyn_tick, we better implement all methods.
 - generic timer_dyn_reprogram() call, to be called before sleeping
 - added command line option - "dyntick=" to allow boot-time control
   of this feature

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!
