Patch from Ben Dooks
Fix the following warnings from sparse:
arch/arm/kernel/process.c:86:6: warning: symbol 'default_idle' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/arm/kernel/process.c:378:5: warning: symbol 'dump_fpu' was not declared. Should it be static?
Include <linux/elfcore.h> for dump_fpu() decleration, and
make default_idle() static as it is not used outside the file.

This patch removes the reliance of iwmmxt on hand coded alignments.
Since thread_info is always 8K aligned, specifying that fpstate is
8-byte aligned achieves the same effect without needing to resort
to hand coded alignments.

Also from Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Function next_timer_interrupt() got broken with a recent patch
6ba1b91213e81aa92b5cf7539f7d2a94ff54947c as sys_nanosleep() was moved to
hrtimer. This broke things as next_timer_interrupt() did not check hrtimer
tree for next event.
Function next_timer_interrupt() is needed with dyntick (CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ,
VST) implementations, as the system can be in idle when next hrtimer event
was supposed to happen. At least ARM and S390 currently use
next_timer_interrupt().

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
The pre ARMv5 implementation can be aborted if an exception occurs in
the middle of it. Because of that, the ARMv6 implementation doesn't
re-attempt the operation on a failed strex either. Let's make this
transient nature of such a false positive more explicit in the

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
The cmpxchg emulation on pre-ARMv5 relies on user code executed from a
kernel address. If the operation cannot complete atomically, it is
aborted from the usr_entry macro by clearing the Z flag. This clearing
of the Z flag is done whenever the user pc is above TASK_SIZE.
However this "pc >= TASK_SIZE" test cannot work in the non MMU case.
Worse: the current code will corrupt the Z flag on every entry to the
kernel.
Let's disable it in the non MMU case for now. Using NPTL on non MMU
targets needs to be worked out anyway.

ARM entry-common.S needs to know syscall table size; in itself that would
not be a problem, but there's an additional constraint - some of the
instructions using it want a constant that would be a multiple of 4.
So we have to pad syscall table with sys_ni_syscall and that's where
the trouble begins. .rept pseudo-op wants a constant expression for
number of repetitions and subtraction of two labels (before and after
syscall table) doesn't always get simplified to constant early enough
for .rept. If labels end up in different frags, we lose. And while
the frag size is large enough (slightly below 4Kb), the syscall table
is about 1/3 of that. We used to get away with that, but the recent
changes had been enough to trigger the breakage.
Proper fix is simple: have a macro (CALL(x)) to populate the table
instead of using explicit .long x and the first time we include calls.S
have it defined to .equ NR_syscalls,NR_syscalls+1. Then we can find
the proper amount of padding on the first inclusion simply by looking
at NR_syscalls at that time. And that will be constant, no matter what.
Moreover, the same trick kills the need of having an estimate of padded
NR_syscalls - it will be calculated for free at the same time.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
For a while we wanted to change the way syscalls were called on ARM.
Instead of encoding the syscall number in the swi instruction which
requires reading back the instruction from memory to extract that number
and polluting the data cache, it was decided that simply storing the
syscall number into r7 would be more efficient. Since this represents
an ABI change then making that change at the same time as EABI support
is the right thing to do.
It is now expected that EABI user space binaries put the syscall number
into r7 and use "swi 0" to call the kernel. Syscall register argument
are also expected to have "EABI arrangement" i.e. 64-bit arguments
should be put in a pair of registers from an even register number.
Example with long ftruncate64(unsigned int fd, loff_t length):
legacy ABI:
- put fd into r0
- put length into r1-r2
- use "swi #(0x900000 + 194)" to call the kernel
new ARM EABI:
- put fd into r0
- put length into r2-r3 (skipping over r1)
- put 194 into r7
- use "swi 0" to call the kernel
Note that it is important to use 0 for the swi argument as backward
compatibility with legacy ABI user space relies on this.
The syscall macros in asm-arm/unistd.h were also updated to support
both ABIs and implement the right call method automatically.

exception
Patch from Nicolas Pitre
The ARM EABI says that the stack pointer has to be 64-bit aligned for
reasons already mentioned in patch #3101 when calling C functions.
We therefore must verify and adjust sp accordingly when taking an
exception from kernel mode since sp might not necessarily be 64-bit
aligned if the exception occurs in the middle of a kernel function.
If the exception occurs while in user mode then no sp fixup is needed as
long as sizeof(struct pt_regs) as well as any additional syscall data
stack space remain multiples of 8.

Patch from Catalin Marinas
If the low interrupt latency mode is enabled for the CPU (from ARMv6
onwards), the ldm/stm instructions are no longer atomic. An ldm instruction
restoring the sp and pc registers can be interrupted immediately after sp
was updated but before the pc. If this happens, the CPU restores the base
register to the value before the ldm instruction but if the base register
is not sp, the interrupt routine will corrupt the stack and the restarted
ldm instruction will load garbage.
Note that future ARM cores might always run in the low interrupt latency
mode.

Some ARM platforms have the ability to program the interrupt controller to
detect various interrupt edges and/or levels. For some platforms, this is
critical to setup correctly, particularly those which the setting is dependent
on the device.
Currently, ARM drivers do (eg) the following:
err = request_irq(irq, ...);
set_irq_type(irq, IRQT_RISING);
However, if the interrupt has previously been programmed to be level sensitive
(for whatever reason) then this will cause an interrupt storm.
Hence, if we combine set_irq_type() with request_irq(), we can then safely set
the type prior to unmasking the interrupt. The unfortunate problem is that in
order to support this, these flags need to be visible outside of the ARM
architecture - drivers such as smc91x need these flags and they're
cross-architecture.
Finally, the SA_TRIGGER_* flag passed to request_irq() should reflect the
property that the device would like. The IRQ controller code should do its
best to select the most appropriate supported mode.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
Strictly speaking, the NPTL kernel helpers are required for pre ARMv6
only. They are available on ARMv6+ as well for obvious compatibility
reasons. However there are cases where extra memory barriers are needed
when using an SMP ARMv6 machine but not on pre-ARMv6.
This patch adds a memory barrier kernel helper that glibc can use as
needed for pre-ARMv6 binaries to be forward compatible with an SMP
kernel on ARMv6, as well as the necessary dmb instructions to the
cmpxchg helper.
