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.

As far as I can tell the only reason microblaze has
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW is because it initializes new task state
with interrupts enabled so that on switch_to() interrupts get enabled.
So change copy_thread() to clear MSR_IE instead of set it, this will
ensure switch_to() will always keep IRQs disabled.
The scheduler will disable IRQs when taking rq->lock in schedule() and
enable IRQs in finish_lock_switch() after its done its magic.
This leaves ARM the only __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW user.

1. Register early console as standard console
2. Enable CON_BOOT console flag to ensure auto-unregistering by the kernel
3. remap_early_printk function remap physical console baseaddr to virtual space
Usage specific function for console remap is done after memory initialization
with IRQ turn off that's why there is not necessary to protect it.
The reason for remapping is that the kernel use TLB 63 for 1:1 address mapping
to be able to use console in very early boot-up phase. But allocating one TLB
just for console caused performance degression that's why ioremaps create new
mapping and TLB 63 is automatically released and ready to use.

Several registers weren't saved correctly to the stack.
Unaligned expection for system with MMU stores
value in ex_tmp_data_loc_X address which is load to registers r3.
The next step is to move this value from r3 to a destination
register which caused unaligned exception. For several registers
this value was directly moved to the register.
For example for r28:
by "or r28, r0, r3"
but register r28 was rewritten when kernel returns from exception
handler by value saved on stack.
This patch changed r3 saving to the correct address on the stack.
For example for r28:
by "swi r3, r1, 4 * 28"
When kernel returns from the exception handler, correct value is restored.

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.
setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.
v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.
