2.6.25-rc1 percpu changes broke CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT's per_cpu checking
on several architectures. On s390, sparc64 and x86 it's been weakened to
not checking at all; whereas on powerpc64 it's become too strict, issuing
warnings from __raw_get_cpu_var in io_schedule and init_timer for example.
Fix this by weakening powerpc's __my_cpu_offset to use the non-checking
local_paca instead of get_paca (which itself contains such a check);
and strengthening the generic my_cpu_offset to go the old slow way via
smp_processor_id when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT (debug_smp_processor_id is
where all the knowledge of what's correct when lives).

When adding __devinitconst etc. the __initconst variant
were missed.
Add this one and proper definitions for .head.text for use
in .S files.
The naming .head.text is preferred over .text.head as the
latter will conflict for a function named head when introducing
-ffunctions-sections.

Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.
To make this work, this patch also does the following:
(1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.
(2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
core dumping code.
(3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This
is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch
code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
the core kernel.
(4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
needed) and FRV.
This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was
a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr()
called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on
many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which
defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes
_extra_text support.

This moves the ability to scale cputime into generic code. This allows us
to fix the issue in kernel/timer.c (noticed by Balbir) where we could only
add an unscaled value to the scaled utime/stime.
This adds a cputime_to_scaled function. As before, the POWERPC version
does the scaling based on the last SPURR/PURR ratio calculated. The
generic and s390 (only other arch to implement asm/cputime.h) versions are
both NOPs.
Also moves the SPURR and PURR snapshots closer.

The pgd/pud/pmd/pte page table allocation functions get a mm_struct pointer as
first argument. The free functions do not get the mm_struct argument. This
is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm
argument is needed on the free function as well.

Provide new implementation infrastructure that platforms may choose to use
when implementing the GPIO programming interface. Platforms can update their
GPIO support to use this. In many cases the incremental cost to access a
non-inlined GPIO should be less than a dozen instructions, with the memory
cost being about a page (total) of extra data and code. The upside is:
* Providing two features which were "want to have (but OK to defer)" when
GPIO interfaces were first discussed in November 2006:
- A "struct gpio_chip" to plug in GPIOs that aren't directly supported
by SOC platforms, but come from FPGAs or other multifunction devices
using conventional device registers (like UCB-1x00 or SM501 GPIOs,
and southbridges in PCs with more open specs than usual).
- Full support for message-based GPIO expanders, where registers are
accessed through sleeping I/O calls. Previous support for these
"cansleep" calls was just stubs. (One example: the widely used
pcf8574 I2C chips, with 8 GPIOs each.)
* Including a non-stub implementation of the gpio_{request,free}() calls,
making those calls much more useful. The diagnostic labels are also
recorded given DEBUG_FS, so /sys/kernel/debug/gpio can show a snapshot
of all GPIOs known to this infrastructure.
The driver programming interfaces introduced in 2.6.21 do not change at all;
this infrastructure is entirely below those covers.

Latest update; I now have 4 NX tests, but 2 fail so they're #if 0'd.
I also cleaned up the NX test code quite a bit, and got rid of the ugly
exception table sorting stuff.
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
This patch adds testcases for the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA configuration option
as well as the NX CPU feature/mappings. Both testcases can move to tests/
once that patch gets merged into mainline.
(I'm half considering moving the rodata test into mm/init.c but I'll
wait with that until init.c is unified)
As part of this I had to fix a not-quite-right alignment in the vmlinux.lds.h
for the RODATA sections, which lead to 1 page less being marked read only.

Convert macros into inline functions, for better type-checking.
This patch required a little bit of fiddling with headers in order to
make __(pte|pmd)_free_tlb inline rather than macros.
asm-generic/tlb.h includes asm/pgalloc.h, though it doesn't directly
use any pgalloc definitions. I removed this include to avoid an
include cycle, but it may cause secondary compile failures by things
depending on the indirect inclusion; arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c was one
such place; there may be others.

- add support for PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES
- fix generic smp percpu_modcopy to use per_cpu_offset() macro.
Add the ability to use generic/percpu even if the arch needs to override
several aspects of its operations. This will enable the use of generic
percpu.h for all arches.
An arch may define:
__per_cpu_offset Do not use the generic pointer array. Arch must
define per_cpu_offset(cpu) (used by x86_64, s390).
__my_cpu_offset Can be defined to provide an optimized way to determine
the offset for variables of the currently executing
processor. Used by ia64, x86_64, x86_32, sparc64, s/390.
SHIFT_PTR(ptr, offset) If an arch defines it then special handling
of pointer arithmentic may be implemented. Used
by s/390.
(Some of these special percpu arch implementations may be later consolidated
so that there are less cases to deal with.)

- Special consideration for IA64: Add the ability to specify
arch specific per cpu flags
- remove .data.percpu attribute from DEFINE_PER_CPU for non-smp case.
The arch definitions are all the same. So move them into linux/percpu.h.
We cannot move DECLARE_PER_CPU since some include files just include
asm/percpu.h to avoid include recursion problems.

A quick grep shows that there are currently 1145 instances of WARN_ON
in the kernel. Currently, WARN_ON is pretty much entirely inlined,
which makes it hard to enhance it without growing the size of the kernel
(and getting Andrew unhappy).
This patch build on top of Olof's patch that introduces __WARN,
and places the slowpath out of line. It also uses Ingo's suggestion
to not use __FUNCTION__ but to use kallsyms to do the lookup;
this saves a ton of extra space since gcc doesn't need to store the function
string twice now:
3936367 833603 624736 5394706 525112 vmlinux.before
3917508 833603 624736 5375847 520767 vmlinux-slowpath
