Since the ARM AMBA bus is used on MIPS as well as ARM, we need
to make the bus available for other architectures to use. Move
the AMBA include files from include/asm-arm/hardware/ to
include/linux/amba/

Patch from Andre McCurdy
Replaces generic swab32 routine with a more ARM friendly version.
Reduces kernel text size by approx 1200 bytes when compiled with
3.4.4 and approx 2400 bytes with 4.0.2
Probably some performance benefit as well.

Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit
platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h). We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall
back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms.
The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive
use of atomic64.
This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in
asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type. Its 32 bits
on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.
Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a
given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current
implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return
-ENOSYS.
"Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some
client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to
release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli
Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool
(shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space.
This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML.
Concerns raised by Andrew Morton:
- "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or
might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think
sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that."
- Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to
mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?"
- None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this
manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a
filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation
which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with
this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really
significant ones."
Comments:
- Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to
have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't
immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to
fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive,
the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them.
Short term plan & Future Direction:
- We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short
term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and
completeness. This is what this patch does.
- In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This
also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented.
- Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in
the future.

Patch from Jared Hulbert
The following patch changes the bus arbiter controller settings
for the Intel PXA27x Application Processor Family. Up to 5%
better video performance. It parks the bus on the core while not
in use and sets the arbitration for other bus items. The patch
only applies changes to the Intel Mainstone development platform.
This patch is not compatible with preproduction Intel PXA27x
silicon.
This patch is based on the Intel Linux Preview Kit released to the
public on 25 Feb. 2005 found at
ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/people/xscale/mainstone/02-25-2005/.

Patch from Deepak Saxena
The expansion bus on the IXP46x NPU can be configured for either 32MiB or
16MiB windows and changing the configuration causes the base address for
each chip select for each region to change. Because of this, we cannot
hardcode the physical base as we currently do. This patch checks the
expansion bus configuration registers at runtime to determine the
appropriate window size. Note that this requires that the bootloader
already configured the device sizes appropriately, but I feel that is
valid assumption to make as the bootloader must configure and access
the flash window, the output display (LCD, LEDs, etc) window, and
other expansion bus devices.

This patch moves a large chunk of the sharpsl_pm driver to

To allow multiple platforms to use the PXA27x OHCI driver, the platform
code needs to be moved into the board specific files in
arch/arm/mach-pxa. This patch does this for mainstone and adds
preliminary hooks to allow other boards to use the driver.
This has been compile tested for mainstone and successfully run on Spitz
(Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000) with the addition of an appropriate board
support file.

Patch from Rod Whitby
This patch adds support for a new arm/ixp4xx machine - the Iomega NAS 100d network attached storage product. The NAS100D is a consumer device containing a 266MHz Intel IXP420 processor, 16MB of flash, 64MB of RAM, a 160Gb internal IDE hard disk, and 802.11b/g wireless on an Atheros mini-PCI card.
Work on porting the latest 2.6.x kernel to this device is being done by
the NSLU2-Linux project (the same team who maintains the port to the
Linksys NSLU2 device). In particular, the majority of this patch was
authored by Alessandro Zummo, based on the work done for MACH_NSLU2
support by the NSLU2-Linux core team of developers.
MACH_NAS100D (as implemented by this patch) can be enabled in jumbo
ixp4xx kernels without any affect on the other machines supported by
that kernel.
This patch applies cleanly against 2.6.15-rc7 and should be trivial to
apply to later kernel versions. It does not depend upon any other
patches.

ARMv6K CPUs have SEV (send event) and WFE (wait for event) instructions
which allow the CPU clock to be suspended until another CPU issues a
SEV, rather than spinning on the lock wasting power. Make use of these
instructions.
Note that WFE does not wait if an event has been sent since the last WFE
cleared the event status, so although it may look racy, the instruction
implementation ensures that these are dealt with.
