This patch includes page.h header into linker scripts that allow us to
use PAGE_SIZE macro instead of numeric constant.
To be able to include page.h into linker scripts page.h is needed for
some modification - i.e. we need to use __ASSEMBLY__ and _AC macro

This patch adds needed_headroom/needed_tailroom members to struct
net_device and updates many places that allocate sbks to use them. Not
all of them can be converted though, and I'm sure I missed some (I

Wireless networking, particularly with MESH enabled, has
quite strong requirements for link-layer header space.
Based upon some numbers and descriptions from Johannes Berg
we use 96 (same as AX25) for plain wireless, and with
mesh enabled we use 128.
In the process, simplify the cpp conditional logic here by
ordering the cases by those needing the most space down
to those needing the least case.

Because it's not correct with a non-preemptable BKL and just causes
PREEMPT kernels to have longer latencies than non-PREEMPT ones (which is
obviously not the point of it at all).
Of course, that config option actually got removed as an option earlier,
so for now this basically disables it entirely, but if BKL preemption is
ever resurrected it will be a meaningful optimization. And in the
meantime, it at least documents the intent of the code, while not doing
the wrong thing.

We should not go through the task pointer to get at the thread info,
since it's usually cheaper to just access the thread info directly.
So don't make the code look up 'current', when we can just use the
thread info accessor functions directly. This generally avoids one
level of indirection and tends to work better together with code that
also looks at other thread flags (eg preempt_count).

The #ifdef for the integer types was reversed; the standard pattern in
these files are:
#ifndef __s390x__
/* 32-bit code */
#else
/* 64-bit code */
#endif
Stick with the original pattern, but make sure the 32-bit code
actually comes first!

It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.
Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
02b67cc3ba36bdba351d6c3a00593f4ec550d9d3 "sched: do not do
cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").
But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
equivalent of that.
Also make fs/locks.c use it.

As the old driver_name/type matching scheme is going away soon, change
the dummy device mechanism to use the new matching scheme.
This has the downside that dummy i2c clients can no longer choose
their name, they'll all appear as "dummy" in sysfs and in log
messages. I don't think it is a problem in practice though, as there
is little reason to use these i2c clients to log messages.

So, forever, we've had this ptrace_signal_deliver implementation
which tries to handle all of the nasties that can occur when the
debugger looks at a process about to take a signal. It's meant
to address all of these issues inside of the kernel so that the
debugger need not be mindful of such things.
Problem is, this doesn't work.
The idea was that we should do the syscall restart business first, so
that the debugger captures that state. Otherwise, if the debugger for
example saves the child's state, makes the child execute something
else, then restores the saved state, we won't handle the syscall
restart properly because we lose the "we're in a syscall" state.
The code here worked for most cases, but if the debugger actually
passes the signal through to the child unaltered, it's possible that
we would do a syscall restart when we shouldn't have.
In particular this breaks the case of debugging a process under a gdb
which is being debugged by yet another gdb. gdb uses sigsuspend
to wait for SIGCHLD of the inferior, but if gdb itself is being
debugged by a top-level gdb we get a ptrace_stop(). The top-level gdb
does a PTRACE_CONT with SIGCHLD to let the inferior gdb see the
signal. But ptrace_signal_deliver() assumed the debugger would cancel
out the signal and therefore did a syscall restart, because the return
error was ERESTARTNOHAND.
Fix this by simply making ptrace_signal_deliver() a nop, and providing
a way for the debugger to control system call restarting properly:
1) Report a "in syscall" software bit in regs->{tstate,psr}.
It is set early on in trap entry to a system call and is fully
visible to the debugger via ptrace() and regsets.
2) Test this bit right before doing a syscall restart. We have
to do a final recheck right after get_signal_to_deliver() in
case the debugger cleared the bit during ptrace_stop().
3) Clear the bit in trap return so we don't accidently try to set
that bit in the real register.
As a result we also get a ptrace_{is,clear}_syscall() for sparc32 just
like sparc64 has.
M68K has this same exact bug, and is now the only other user of the
ptrace_signal_deliver hook. It needs to be fixed in the same exact
way as sparc.

Forever we had a PTRACE_SUNOS_DETACH which was unconditionally
recognized, regardless of the personality of the process.
Unfortunately, this value is what ended up in the GLIBC sys/ptrace.h
header file on sparc as PTRACE_DETACH and PT_DETACH.
So continue to recognize this old value. Luckily, it doesn't conflict
with anything we actually care about.

The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
(and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The
latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
mess of scheduling.
The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
previous commit 00b41ec2611dc98f87f30753ee00a53db648d662 'Revert
"semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
never had any issues like this.
This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.
As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
plan for several years.
These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
particular) and Alan holds out some hope:
"tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."
so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

It actually makes much more sense there, and we do tend to need it for
non-RCU usage too. Moving it to <linux/compiler.h> will allow some
other cases that have open-coded the same logic to use the same helper
function that RCU has used.

System topology on intel based system needs to be exported
for non-numa case as well.
All parts of asm-i386/topology.h has come under
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA after the merge to asm-x86/topology.h
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/* is populated based on
ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES
The sysfs cpu topology is not being populated on my dual socket
dual core xeon 5160 processor based (x86 32 bit) system.
CONFIG_NUMA is not set in my case yet the topology is relevant
and useful.
irqbalance daemon application depends on topology to build the
cpus and package list and it fails on Fedora9 beta since the
sysfs topology was not being populated in the 2.6.25 kernel.
I am not sure if it was intentional to not define ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES
for non-numa systems.
This fix has been tested on the above mentioned dual core, dual socket
system.

709f744 causes my computer to freeze during the start up of X and my
login manger (GDM). It gets to the point where it has shown the default
X mouse cursor logo (a big X / cross) and does not respond to anything
from that point on.
This worked fine before 709f744, and it works fine with 709f744
reverted on top of Linus' current tree (f74d505). The revert had
conflicts, as far as I can tell due to white space changes. The diff I
ended up with is below.
It is 100% reproducible.

If the task never used fpu, initialize the fpu before restoring the FP
state from the signal handler context. This will allocate the fpu
state, if the task never needed it before.

This behavior differs across multiple controllers, so we cannot use
common logic for all controllers.
Revert back to the basic common behavior, and specific drivers will
be updated from here to take into account the unusual Status return
values.

Add the omap2_set_globals_{242x,243x,343x}() functions. These
functions are called early upon boot in the map_io() functions in the
board-specific init files.
This patch was accidentally left out of the earlier series.
This fixes omap2 booting as noted by Kyungmin Park <kmpark@infradead.org>.
