Patch from Uwe Zeisberger
The symbol is only used in arch/arm/kernel/head-common.S. This in turn
is included from arch/arm/kernel/head.S and arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.S
which include asm-offsets.h .

can_share_swap_page() is used to check if the page has the last reference.
This avoids allocating a new page for COW if it's the last page.
However, if CONFIG_SWAP is not set, can_share_swap_page() is defined as 0,
thus always causes a copy for the last COW page. The below simple patch
fixes it.

Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules

The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel.
symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call
two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try
to acquire the same lock. This deadlocks the kernel of course.
This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it
doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly. Also, it
now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address(). The latter has
an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that
since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address
uses) ourselves.

Introduce rcu_needs_cpu() interface. This can be used to tell if there
will be a new rcu batch on a cpu soon by looking at the curlist pointer.
This can be used to avoid to enter a tickless idle state where the cpu
would miss that a new batch is ready when rcu_start_batch would be called
on a different cpu.

Add ap->qc_active and ap->sactive, mask of all active qcs and libata's
view of the SActive register, respectively. Also, implement
ata_qc_complete_multiple() which takes new qc_active mask and complete
multiple qcs according to the mask.
These will be used to track NCQ commands and complete them. The
distinction between ap->qc_active and ap->sactive is also useful for
later PM implementation.

Implement new EH. The exported interface is ata_do_eh() which is to
be called from ->error_handler and performs the following steps to
recover the failed port.
ata_eh_autopsy() : analyze SError/TF, determine the cause of failure
and required recovery actions and record it in
ap->eh_context
ata_eh_report() : report the failure to user
ata_eh_recover() : perform recovery actions described in ap->eh_context
ata_eh_finish() : finish failed qcs
LLDDs can customize error handling by modifying eh_context before
calling ata_do_eh() or, if necessary, doing so inbetween each major
steps by calling each step explicitly.

struct ata_eh_info serves as the communication channel between
execution path and EH. Execution path describes detected error
condition in ap->eh_info and EH recovers the port using it. To avoid
missing error conditions detected during EH, EH makes its own copy of
eh_info and clears it on entry allowing error info to accumulate
during EH.
Most EH states including EH's copy of eh_info are stored in
ap->eh_context (struct ata_eh_context) which is owned by EH and thus
doesn't require any synchronization to access and alter. This
standardized context makes it easy to integrate various parts of EH
and extend EH to handle multiple links (for PM).

This patch implements ata_ering and uses it to define dev->ering.
ata_ering is a ring buffer which records libata errors - whether a
command was for normar IO request, err_mask and timestamp. Errors are
recorded per-device in dev->ering. This will be used by EH to
determine recovery actions.

Update ata_scsi_error() for new EH. ata_scsi_error() is responsible
for claiming timed out qcs and invoking ->error_handler in safe and
synchronized manner. As the state of the controller is unknown if a
qc has timed out, the port is frozen in such cases.
Note that ata_scsi_timed_out() isn't used for new EH. This is because
a timed out qc cannot be claimed by EH without freezing the port and
freezing the port in ata_scsi_timed_out() results in unnecessary
abortion of other active qcs. ata_scsi_timed_out() can be removed
once all drivers are converted to new EH.
While at it, add 'TODO: kill' comments to old EH functions.

Freezing is performed atomic w.r.t. host_set->lock and once frozen
LLDD is not allowed to access the port or any qc on it. Also, libata
makes sure that no new qc gets issued to a frozen port.
A frozen port is thawed after a reset operation completes
successfully, so reset methods must do its job while the port is
frozen. During initialization all ports get frozen before requesting
IRQ, so reset methods are always invoked on a frozen port.
Optional ->freeze and ->thaw operations notify LLDD that the port is
being frozen and thawed, respectively. LLDD can disable/enable
hardware interrupt in these callbacks if the controller's IRQ mask can
be changed dynamically. If the controller doesn't allow such
operation, LLDD can check for frozen state in the interrupt handler
and ack/clear interrupts unconditionally while frozen.

ata_port_schedule_eh() directly schedules EH for @ap without
associated qc. Once EH scheduled, no further qc is allowed and EH
kicks in as soon as all currently active qc's are drained.
ata_port_abort() schedules all currently active commands for EH by
qc_completing them with ATA_QCFLAG_FAILED set. If ata_port_abort()
doesn't find any qc to abort, it directly schedule EH using
ata_port_schedule_eh().
These two functions provide ways to invoke EH for conditions which
aren't directly related to any specfic qc.

There are several ways a qc can get schedule for EH in new EH. This
patch implements one of them - completing a qc with ATA_QCFLAG_FAILED
set or with non-zero qc->err_mask. ALL such qc's are examined by EH.
New EH schedules a qc for EH from completion iff ->error_handler is
implemented, qc is marked as failed or qc->err_mask is non-zero and
the command is not an internal command (internal cmd is handled via
->post_internal_cmd). The EH scheduling itself is performed by asking
SCSI midlayer to schedule EH for the specified scmd.
For drivers implementing old-EH, nothing changes. As this change
makes ata_qc_complete() rather large, it's not inlined anymore and
__ata_qc_complete() is exported to other parts of libata for later
use.

New EH framework has clear distinction about who owns a qc. Every qc
starts owned by normal execution path - PIO, interrupt or whatever.
When an exception condition occurs which affects the qc, the qc gets
scheduled for EH. Note that some events (say, link lost and regained,
command timeout) may schedule qc's which are not directly related but
could have been affected for EH too. Scheduling for EH is atomic
w.r.t. ap->host_set->lock and once schedule for EH, normal execution
path is not allowed to access the qc in whatever way. (PIO
synchronization acts a bit different and will be dealt with later)
This patch make ata_qc_from_tag() check whether a qc is active and
owned by normal path before returning it. If conditions don't match,
NULL is returned and thus access to the qc is denied.
__ata_qc_from_tag() is the original ata_qc_from_tag() and is used by
libata core/EH layers to access inactive/failed qc's.
This change is applied only if the associated LLDD implements new EH
as indicated by non-NULL ->error_handler
