x86 throws away .discard section but no other archs do. Also,
.discard is not thrown away while linking modules. Make every arch
and module linking throw it away. This will be used to define dummy
variables for percpu declarations and definitions.
This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.
[ Impact: always throw away everything in .discard ]

We unified x86 and IA64's handling of multiple dma mapping operations
(struct dma_map_ops in linux/dma-mapping.h) so we can remove duplication
in their arch/include/asm/dma-mapping.h.
This patchset adds include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h that provides
some generic dma mapping function definitions for the users of struct
dma_map_ops. This enables us to remove about 100 lines. This also
enables us to easily add CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support, which only x86
supports for now. The 4th patch adds CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support to IA64
by adding only 8 lines.
This patch:
This header file provides some mapping function definitions that the users
of struct dma_map_ops can use.

Convert most arches to use asm-generic/kmap_types.h.
Move the KM_FENCE_ macro additions into asm-generic/kmap_types.h,
controlled by __WITH_KM_FENCE from each arch's kmap_types.h file.
Would be nice to be able to add custom KM_types per arch, but I don't yet
see a nice, clean way to do that.
Built on x86_64, i386, mips, sparc, alpha(tonyb), powerpc(tonyb), and
68k(tonyb).
Note: avr32 should be able to remove KM_PTE2 (since it's not used) and
then just use the generic kmap_types.h file. Get avr32 maintainer
approval.

Many processor architectures have no 64-bit atomic instructions, but
we need atomic64_t in order to support the perf_counter subsystem.
This adds an implementation of 64-bit atomic operations using hashed
spinlocks to provide atomicity. For each atomic operation, the address
of the atomic64_t variable is hashed to an index into an array of 16
spinlocks. That spinlock is taken (with interrupts disabled) around the
operation, which can then be coded non-atomically within the lock.
On UP, all the spinlock manipulation goes away and we simply disable
interrupts around each operation. In fact gcc eliminates the whole
atomic64_lock variable as well.

Memory management in generic is highly architecture specific,
but on NOMMU architectures, it is mostly trivial, so just
add a default implementation in asm-generic that applies
to all NOMMU architectures.
The two files cache.h and cacheflush.h can possibly also
be used by architectures that have an MMU but never require
flushing the cache or have cache lines larger than 32 bytes.

The dma.h, hw_irq.h, serial.h and timex.h files originally
described PC-style i8237, i8259A, i8250, i8253 and i8255 chips
as well as the VGA style text mode graphics.
Modern architectures live happily without these specific

getting used in common code.
The new generic headers are what most architectures use
anyway nowadays, just implementing the minimal definitions.

Evidently, set_rtc_time is supposed to be overridable
by architectures that define their own version, but
unfortunately, get_rtc_ss would in that case still
use the generic version.
This makes get_rtc_ss call the real set_rtc_time
to let architectures define their own version.
The change should fix the "Extended RTC operation"
on Alpha, which uses the incorrect get_rtc_ss
call. It also allows PowerPC to use the asm-generic/rtc.h
file in the future.

A new architecture should only define a minimal set of system
calls while still providing the full functionality. This version
of unistd.h has gone through intensive review to make sure that
by default it only enables syscalls that do not already have
a more featureful replacement.
It is modeled after the x86-64 version of unistd.h, which unifies
the syscall number definition and the actual system call table
in a single file, in order to keep them synchronized much more
easily.
This first version still keeps legacy system call definitions
around, guarded by various #ifdefs, and with numbers larger
than 1024. The idea behind this is to make it easier for
new architectures to transition from a full list to the reduced
set. In particular, the new microblaze architecture that should
migrate to using the generic ABI headers can at least use an
existing uClibc source tree without major rewrites during the
conversion.

These header files are typically copied from an existing architecture
into any new one, slightly modified and then remain untouched until
the end of time in the name of ABI stability.
To make it easier for future architectures, provide a sane generic
version here. In cases where multiple architectures already use
identical code, I used the most common version. In cases like
stat.h that are more or less broken everywhere, I provide a
version that is meant to be ideal for new architectures.

The ipc64 data structures were originally meant to
be architecture specific so that each architecture
could add their own optimizations for padding.
In the end, most of them just copied the x86 version,
and most got that wrong. UClibc expects the x86 anyway,
so we might just declare that the default and get
rid of the extra copies.

This provides a reliable way for asm-generic/types.h and other
files to find out if it is running on a 32 or 64 bit platform.
We cannot use CONFIG_64BIT for this in headers that are included
from user space because CONFIG symbols are not available there.
We also cannot do it inside of asm/types.h because some headers
need the word size but cannot include types.h.
The solution is to introduce a new header <asm/bitsperlong.h>
that defines both __BITS_PER_LONG for user space and
BITS_PER_LONG for usage in the kernel. The asm-generic
version falls back to 32 bit unless the architecture overrides
it, which I did for all 64 bit platforms.

To support alingment of the individual architecture specific linker scripts
provide a set of general definitions in vmlinux.lds.h
With these definitions applied the diverse linekr scripts can be reduced
in line count and their readability are improved - IMO.
A sample linker script is included to give the preferred
order of the sections for the architectures that do not
have any special requirments.
These definitions are also a first step towards eventual
support for -ffunction-sections.
The definitions makes it much easier to do a global
renaming of section names - but the main purpose is
to clean up the linker scripts.
Tim Aboot has provided a lot of inputs to improve
the definitions - all faults are mine.

Merge reason: tracing/core was on a .30-rc1 base and was missing out on
on a handful of tracing fixes present in .30-rc5-almost.

When building with gcc 3.2 I get thousands of warnings such as
include/linux/gfp.h: In function `allocflags_to_migratetype':
include/linux/gfp.h:105: warning: null format string
due to passing a NULL format string to warn_slowpath() in
#define __WARN() warn_slowpath(__FILE__, __LINE__, NULL)
Split this case out into a separate call. This also shrinks the kernel
slightly:
text data bss dec hex filename
4802274 707668 712704 6222646 5ef336 vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
4799027 703572 712704 6215303 5ed687 vmlinux
due to removeing one argument from the commonly-called __WARN().

atomic_long_cmpxchg and atomic_long_xchg are incorrectly defined for 64
bit architectures. They should be mapped to the atomic64_* variants.

The old refok sections
.text.init.refok
.data.init.refok
.exit.text.refok
have been deprecated since commit
312b1485fb509c9bc32eda28ad29537896658cb8. After the other patches in
this patch series nothing is put in these sections, so clean things up
by eliminating all the remaining references to them.

This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or
".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can
later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel.
Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.
I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.
The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".

Collect the DECLARE/DEFINE declarations together in linux/percpu-defs.h so
that they're in one place, and give them descriptive comments, particularly
the SHARED_ALIGNED variant.
It would be nice to collect these in linux/percpu.h, but that's not possible
without sorting out the severe #include recursion between the x86 arch headers
and the general headers (and possibly other arches too).

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.
On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws
up the following errors:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.

signals: demultiplexing SIGTRAP signal
forgot to update the NSIGTRAP define in asm-generic/siginfo.h to the new
number of sigtrap subcodes. Nothing in the tree seems to use it, but
presumably something in user space might. So update it.
