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

Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:
scheduler switch to idle task
enable interrupts
Window starts here
----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
irq_exit() stops the tick
----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
return from schedule()
cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
Window ends here
The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.
The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
cpu_idle()
{
preempt_disable();
while(1) {
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
are in the idle loop
while (!need_resched())
halt();
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
preempt_enable_no_resched();
schedule();
preempt_disable();
}
}
In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ...
/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

Expand the per-process PGDs so that they cover the kernel virtual
memory area as well. This simplifies the TLB miss handler fastpath
since it doesn't have to check for kernel addresses anymore.
If a TLB miss happens on a kernel address and a second-level page
table can't be found, we check swapper_pg_dir and copy the PGD entry
into the user PGD if it can be found there.

Instead of storing physical addresses along with page flags in the
PGD, store virtual addresses and use NULL to indicate a not present
second-level page table. A non-page-aligned page table indicates a bad
PMD.
This simplifies the TLB miss handler since it no longer has to check
the Present bit and no longer has to convert the PGD entry from
physical to virtual address. Instead, it has to check for a NULL
entry, which is slightly cheaper than either.

A signal handler should be able to change the signal stack used for the
next signal by altering the ucontext_t passed as a parameter to the
handler. This does not currently work on avr32 since it doesn't update
the in-kernel signal context from the ucontext_t upon signal handler
return.
Fix it by adding a call to do_sigaltstack() from sys_rt_sigreturn(),
bringing it in line with most other architectures.

This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
code.
It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)
I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
isn't needed. The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
no obstacles.

If the user specified a fixed framebuffer address on the command line, it may
have been initialized already with a splash image or something, so we
shouldn't clear it.
Therefore, we should only initialize the framebuffer if we allocated it
ourselves. This patch also updates the AVR32 setup code to clear the
framebuffer if it allocated it itself, i.e. the user didn't provide a fixed
address or the reservation failed.
I've updated the at91 platform code as well so that it initializes the
framebuffer if it is located in SRAM, but I haven't tested that it actually
works.

This combines three patches from David Brownell:
* avr32: tclib support
* avr32: simplify clocksources
* avr32: Turn count/compare into a oneshot clockevent device
Register both TC blocks (instead of just the first one) so that
the AT32/AT91 tclib code will pick them up (instead of just the
avr32-only PIT-style clocksource).
Rename the first one and its resources appropriately.
More cleanups to the cycle counter clocksource code
- Disable all the weak symbol magic; remove the AVR32-only TCB-based
clocksource code (source and header).
- Mark the __init code properly.
- Don't forget to report IRQF_TIMER.
- Make the system work properly with this clocksource, by preventing
use of the CPU "idle" sleep state in the idle loop when it's used.
Package the avr32 count/compare timekeeping support as a oneshot
clockevent device, so it supports NO_HZ and high res timers.
This means it also supports plugging in other clockevent devices
and clocksources.

Add comment about the problem using the cycle counter register,

providing a proper clocksource without the weak binding hacks)

Iff the parent has TIF_DEBUG set, _and_ clone_flags includes
CLONE_PTRACE we should set the TIF_DEBUG flag for the child and
increment the ocd refcount. Otherwise, the TIF_DEBUG flag must be
unset.
Currently, the child inherits TIF_DEBUG from the parent before
copy_thread is called, so TIF_DEBUG may be already be set before we
determine whether the child is supposed to inherit debugging
capabilities from the parent or not. This means that ocd_enable()
won't increment the refcount, because TIF_DEBUG is already set, and
that TIF_DEBUG will be set for processes that aren't being debugged.
This leads to a refcounting asymmetry, which may show up as

This patch:

If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already

Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition

Keep track of processes being debugged (including the kernel itself)
and turn the OCD system on and off as appropriate. Since enabling
debugging turns off some optimizations in the CPU core, this fixes the
issue that enabling KProbes support or simply running a program under

reboot.
The CPU performance will still be reduced for all processes while a
process is being debugged, but this is a lot better than reducing the

The current debug trap handling code does a number of things that are
illegal according to the AVR32 Architecture manual. Most importantly,
it may try to schedule from Debug Mode, thus clearing the D bit, which
can lead to "undefined behaviour".
It seems like this works in most cases, but several people have
observed somewhat unstable behaviour when debugging programs,
including soft lockups. So there's definitely something which is not
right with the existing code.
The new code will never schedule from Debug mode, it will always exit
Debug mode with a "retd" instruction, and if something not running in
Debug mode needs to do something debug-related (like doing a single
step), it will enter debug mode through a "breakpoint" instruction.
The monitor code will then return directly to user space, bypassing
its own saved registers if necessary (since we don't actually care
about the trapped context, only the one that came before.)
This adds three instructions to the common exception handling code,
including one branch. It does not touch super-hot paths like the TLB
miss handler.

Generate a new set of OCD register definitions in asm/ocd.h and rename
__mfdr() and __mtdr() to ocd_read() and ocd_write() respectively.
The bitfield definitions are a lot more complete now, and they are
entirely based on bit numbers, not masks. This is because OCD
registers are frequently accessed from assembly code, where bit
numbers are a lot more useful (can be fed directly to sbr, bfins,
etc.)
Bitfields that consist of more than one bit have two definitions:
_START, which indicates the number of the first bit, and _SIZE, which
indicates the number of bits. These directly correspond to the
parameters taken by the bfextu, bfexts and bfins instructions.

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().
A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
Changelog:
2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
and remove dependence on the task_pid().
2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
bug rather than force a kernel panic.

__init_end, which comes immediately before .text, is already page

The reason why we need to align the .text section is because the
