x86: add _AT() macro to conditionally cast
Define _AT(type, value) to conditionally cast a value when compiling C
code, but not when used in assembler.

This makes ELF core dumps of 32-bit processes include a new
note type NT_386_TLS (0x200) giving the contents of the TLS
slots in struct user_desc format. This lets post mortem
examination figure out what the segment registers mean like
the debugger does with get_thread_area on a live process.

This adds a generic definition of compat_sys_ptrace that calls
compat_arch_ptrace, parallel to sys_ptrace/arch_ptrace. Some
machines needing this already define a function by that name.
The new generic function is defined only on machines that
put #define __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE into asm/ptrace.h.

This adds a compat_ptrace_request that is the analogue of ptrace_request
for the things that 32-on-64 ptrace implementations can share in common.
So far there are just a couple of requests handled generically.

This defines two new inlines in linux/regset.h, for use in arch_ptrace
implementations and the like. These provide simplified wrappers for using
the user_regset interfaces to copy thread regset data into the caller's
user-space memory. The inlines are trivial, but make the common uses in
places such as ptrace implementation much more concise, easier to read, and
less prone to code-copying errors.

This adds some inlines to linux/regset.h intended for arch code to use in
its user_regset get and set functions. These make it pretty easy to deal
with the interface's optional kernel-space or user-space pointers and its
generalized access to a part of the register data at a time.
In simple cases where the internal data structure matches the exported
layout (core dump format), a get function can be nothing but a call to
user_regset_copyout, and a set function a call to user_regset_copyin.
In other cases the exported layout is usually made up of a few pieces each
stored contiguously in a different internal data structure. These helpers
make it straightforward to write a get or set function by processing each
contiguous chunk of the data in order. The start_pos and end_pos arguments
are always constants, so these inlines collapse to a small amount of code.

The new header <linux/regset.h> defines the types struct user_regset and
struct user_regset_view, with some associated declarations. This new set
of interfaces will become the standard way for arch code to expose
user-mode machine-specific state. A single set of entry points into arch
code can do all the low-level work in one place to fill the needs of core
dumps, ptrace, and any other user-mode debugging facilities that might come
along in the future.
For existing arch code to adapt to the user_regset interfaces, each arch
can work from the code it already has to support core files and ptrace.
The formats you want for user_regset are the core file formats. The only
wrinkle in adapting old ptrace implementation code as user_regset get and
set functions is that these functions can be called on current as well as
on another task_struct that is stopped and switched out as for ptrace.
For some kinds of machine state, you may have to load it directly from CPU
registers or otherwise differently for current than for another thread.
(Your core dump support already handles this in elf_core_copy_regs for
current and elf_core_copy_task_regs for other tasks, so just check there.)
The set function should also be made to work on current in case that
entails some special cases, though this was never required before for
ptrace. Adding this flexibility covers the arch needs to open the door to
more sophisticated new debugging facilities that don't always need to
context-switch to do every little thing.
The copyin/copyout helper functions (in a later patch) relieve the arch
code of most of the cumbersome details of the flexible get/set interfaces.

Likewise for 64-bits' fix_processor_context(), just that that one was
properly declared in an arch-specific header.

The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.
Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.
Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).

This makes ptrace_request handle PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK along with
PTRACE_CONT et al. The new generic code makes use of the
arch_has_block_step macro and generic entry points on machines
that define them.

This defines the new macro arch_has_block_step() in linux/ptrace.h, a
default for when asm/ptrace.h does not define it. This is the analog
of arch_has_single_step() for step-until-branch on machines that have
it. It declares the new user_enable_block_step function, which goes
with the existing user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step.
This is not used yet, but paves the way to harmonize on this interface
for the arch-specific calls on all machines.

This patch removes the extern struct resource declarations for
data_resource, code_resource and bss_resource on x86 and declares that
three structures as static as done on other architectures like IA64.
On i386, these structures are moved to setup_32.c (from e820_32.c) because
that's code that is not specific to e820 and also required on EFI systems.
That makes the "extern" reference superfluous.
On x86_64, data_resource, code_resource and bss_resource are passed to
e820_reserve_resources() as arguments just as done on i386 and IA64. That
also avoids the "extern" reference and it's possible to make it static.

Current idle time in kstat is based on jiffies and is coarse grained.
tick_sched.idle_sleeptime is making some attempt to keep track of idle time
in a fine grained manner. But, it is not handling the time spent in
interrupts fully.
Make tick_sched.idle_sleeptime accurate with respect to time spent on
handling interrupts and also add tick_sched.idle_lastupdate, which keeps
track of last time when idle_sleeptime was updated.
This statistics will be crucial for cpufreq-ondemand governor, which can
shed some conservative gaurd band that is uses today while setting the
frequency. The ondemand changes that uses the exact idle time is coming
soon.

The userspace API for the HPET (see Documentation/hpet.txt) did not work. The
HPET_IE_ON ioctl was failing as there was no IRQ assigned to the timer
device. This patch fixes it by allocating IRQs to timer blocks in the HPET.
