For some reason, the BITS_PER_LONG == 64 case of atomic_long_set
was using atomic_set instead of atomic64_set. This does not jive
with architectures which use an inline instead of a #define to
implement their atomic_set() primitives.

This makes it possible to build kernels for PReP and/or CHRP
with ARCH=ppc by removing the (non-building) powermac support.
It's now also possible to select PReP and CHRP independently.
Powermac users should now build with ARCH=powerpc instead of
ARCH=ppc. (This does mean that it is no longer possible to
build a 32-bit kernel for a G5.)

If optimizing for size (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE), allow gcc4 compilers
to decide what to inline and what not - instead of the kernel forcing gcc
to inline all the time. This requires several places that require to be
inlined to be marked as such, previous patches in this series do that.

Mark a number of functions as 'must inline'. The functions affected by this
patch need to be inlined because they use knowledge that their arguments are
constant so that most of the function optimizes away. At this point this
patch does not change behavior, it's for documentation only (and for future
patches in the inline series)

This patch is the first in a series that tries to optimize the kernel in terms
of size (and thus cache behavior, both cpu and pagecache).
This first patch changes __always_inline to be a forced inline instead of the
"regular" inline it was on everything except alpha. This forced inline
matches the intention of the define better as a matter of documentation.
There is no change in behavior by this patch, since "inline" currently is
mapped to a forced inline anyway.

The problem, reported in:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5859
and by various other email messages and lkml posts is that the cpuset hook
in the oom (out of memory) code can try to take a cpuset semaphore while
holding the tasklist_lock (a spinlock).
One must not sleep while holding a spinlock.
The fix seems easy enough - move the cpuset semaphore region outside the
tasklist_lock region.
This required a few lines of mechanism to implement. The oom code where
the locking needs to be changed does not have access to the cpuset locks,
which are internal to kernel/cpuset.c only. So I provided a couple more
cpuset interface routines, available to the rest of the kernel, which
simple take and drop the lock needed here (cpusets callback_sem).

Anything that writes into a tmpfs filesystem is liable to disproportionately
decrease the available memory on a particular node. Since there's no telling
what sort of application (e.g. dd/cp/cat) might be dropping large files
there, this lets the admin choose the appropriate default behavior for their
site's situation.
Introduce a tmpfs mount option which allows specifying a memory policy and
a second option to specify the nodelist for that policy. With the default
policy, tmpfs will behave as it does today. This patch adds support for
preferred, bind, and interleave policies.
The default policy will cause pages to be added to tmpfs files on the node
which is doing the writing. Some jobs expect a single process to create
and manage the tmpfs files. This results in a node which has a
significantly reduced number of free pages.
With this patch, the administrator can specify the policy and nodes for
that policy where they would prefer allocations.
This patch was originally written by Brent Casavant and Hugh Dickins. I
added support for the bind and preferred policies and the mpol_nodelist
mount option.

CPU-intensive, and will acquire a constant +5 priority level penalty. Such
policy is nice for workloads that are non-interactive, but which do not
want to give up their nice levels. The policy is also useful for workloads
that want a deterministic scheduling policy without interactivity causing

This is the second version of the patch to address Christoph's comments.
Instead of doing the lib, I just kept everything in scsi_trnapsort_iscsi.c
like the FC and SPI class. This was becuase the driver model and sysfs
class is tied to the session and connection setup so separating did not
buy very much at this time.
The reason for this patch was becuase HW iscsi LLDs like qla4xxx cannot
use the iscsi class becuase the scsi_host was tied to the interface and
class code. This patch just seperates the session from scsi host so
that LLDs that allocate the host per some resource like pci device
can still use the class.
This is also fixes a couple refcount bugs that can be triggered
when users have a sysfs file open, close the session, then
read or write to the file.

When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes
crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to
let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given
transport class.
When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices
we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual
raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it.
So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from
scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets
the transport class control the user-initiated scanning. As this
plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook
goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do
something sensible.
For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to
synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely
unsynchronized which seems wrong.

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 Nicolas Pitre
Although ARM is still using 32-bit pointers, version 5 and later
versions of the ARM architecture introduced the ldrd and strd
instructions to move 64-bit data which must be 64-bit aligned in memory,
and the EABI includes new constraints on structure data alignment to
allow for the compiler to use those instructions. This means that any
slab allocation must start on a 64-bit boundary which is not equivalent
to BYTES_PER_WORD, especially on those architecture versions that
implements the ldrd/strd instructions.
Overriding the default alignment disables some slab debug features. If
those debug features are really needed then the kernel will have to be
compiled for version 4 of the ARM architecture.

This adds a bitbanging spi master, hooking up to board/adapter-specific glue
code which knows how to set and read the signals (gpios etc).
This code kicks in after the glue code creates a platform_device with the
right platform_data. That data includes I/O loops, which will usually
come from expanding an inline function (provided in the header). One goal
is that the I/O loops should be easily optimized down to a few GPIO register
accesses, in common cases, for speed and minimized overhead.
This understands all the currently defined protocol tweaking options in the
SPI framework, and might eventually serve as as reference implementation.
- different word sizes (1..32 bits)
- differing clock rates
- SPI modes differing by CPOL (affecting chip select and I/O loops)
- SPI modes differing by CPHA (affecting I/O loops)
- delays (usecs) after transfers
- temporarily deselecting chips in mid-transfer
A lot of hardware could work with this framework, though common types of
controller can't reach peak performance without switching to a driver
structure that supports pipelining of transfers (e.g. DMA queues) and maybe
controllers (e.g. IRQ driven).

This is a refresh of the "Simple SPI Framework" found in 2.6.15-rc3-mm1
which makes the following changes:
* There's now a "struct spi_driver". This increase the footprint
of the core a bit, since it now includes code to do what the driver
core was previously handling directly. Documentation and comments
were updated to match.
* spi_alloc_master() now does class_device_initialize(), so it can
at least be refcounted before spi_register_master(). To match,
spi_register_master() switched over to class_device_add().
* States explicitly that after transfer errors, spi_devices will be
deselected. We want fault recovery procedures to work the same
for all controller drivers.
* Minor tweaks: controller_data no longer points to readonly data;
prevent some potential cast-from-null bugs with container_of calls;
clarifies some existing kerneldoc,
And a few small cleanups.

This is a driver for the ADS7846 touchscreen sensor, derived from
the corgi_ts and omap_ts drivers. Key differences from those two:
- Uses the new SPI framework (minimalist version)
- <linux/spi/ads7846.h> abstracts board-specific touchscreen info
- Sysfs attributes for the temperature and voltage sensors
- Uses fewer ARM-specific IRQ primitives
The temperature and voltage sensors show up in sysfs like this:
$ pwd
/sys/devices/platform/omap-uwire/spi2.0
$ ls
bus@ input:event0@ power/ temp1 vbatt
driver@ modalias temp0 vaux
$ cat modalias
ads7846
$ cat temp0
991
$ cat temp1
1177
$
So far only basic testing has been done. There's a fair amount of hardware
that uses this sensor, and which also runs Linux, which should eventually
be able to use this driver.
One portability note may be of special interest. It turns out that not all
SPI controllers are happy issuing requests that do things like "write 8 bit
command, read 12 bit response". Most of them seem happy to handle various
word sizes, so the issue isn't "12 bit response" but rather "different rx
and tx write sizes", despite that being a common MicroWire convention. So
this version of the driver no longer reads 12 bit native-endian words; it
reads 16-bit big-endian responses, then byteswaps them and shifts the
results to discard the noise.

This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a
queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous
wrappers on top).
- It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM). If there's got to be a
mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget. :)
- The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver
model tree. (Hardware probing is rarely an option.)
- This version of Kconfig includes no drivers. At this writing there
are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire)
and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML
mentions of other drivers in development.
- No userspace API. There are several implementations to compare.
Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs.
The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor,
and include:
- One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device
names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect.
- The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for
DMA drivers that want to be fancy.
- Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init. Even though board init
logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is
for driver support, and the board init support uses static init.
- Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions
with other folk. It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk
who've helped nudge this framework into existence.
As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support
that this driver framework will need to evolve.
