The newly added PERCPU_*() macros define and use __per_cpu_load but
VMLINUX_SYMBOL() was missing from usages causing build failures on
archs where linker visible symbol is different from C symbols
(e.g. blackfin).

It is an optimization and a cleanup, and adds the following new
generic percpu methods:
percpu_read()
percpu_write()
percpu_add()
percpu_sub()
percpu_and()
percpu_or()
percpu_xor()
and implements support for them on x86. (other architectures will fall
back to a default implementation)
The advantage is that for example to read a local percpu variable,
instead of this sequence:
return __get_cpu_var(var);
ffffffff8102ca2b: 48 8b 14 fd 80 09 74 mov -0x7e8bf680(,%rdi,8),%rdx
ffffffff8102ca32: 81
ffffffff8102ca33: 48 c7 c0 d8 59 00 00 mov $0x59d8,%rax
ffffffff8102ca3a: 48 8b 04 10 mov (%rax,%rdx,1),%rax
We can get a single instruction by using the optimized variants:
return percpu_read(var);
ffffffff8102ca3f: 65 48 8b 05 91 8f fd mov %gs:0x7efd8f91(%rip),%rax
I also cleaned up the x86-specific APIs and made the x86 code use
these new generic percpu primitives.
tj: * fixed generic percpu_sub() definition as Roel Kluin pointed out
* added percpu_and() for completeness's sake
* made generic percpu ops atomic against preemption

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]
Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately. %gs points
to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset.
This patch folds pda into percpu area.
Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of
the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40. To achieve
this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is
added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu
area.
After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the
data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to
point to the actual pda. This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need
to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0
already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas().
This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call
sites.
A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into
per cpu area" patch.

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]
This patch makes percpu symbols zerobased on x86_64 SMP by adding
PERCPU_VADDR() to vmlinux.lds.h which helps setting explicit vaddr on
the percpu output section and using it in vmlinux_64.lds.S. A new
PHDR is added as existing ones cannot contain sections near address
zero. PERCPU_VADDR() also adds a new symbol __per_cpu_load which
always points to the vaddr of the loaded percpu data.init region.
The following adjustments have been made to accomodate the address
change.
* code to locate percpu gdt_page in head_64.S is updated to add the
load address to the gdt_page offset.
* __per_cpu_load is used in places where access to the init data area
is necessary.
* pda->data_offset is initialized soon after C code is entered as zero
value doesn't work anymore.
This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Base percpu
variables at zero" patch.

Impact: cleanup
Change the protection parameter for track_pfn_vma_new() into a pgprot_t pointer.
Subsequent patch changes the x86 PAT handling to return a compatible
memtype in pgprot_t, if what was requested cannot be allowed due to conflicts.

Impact: reduce kernel image size
Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel
is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops.
Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single
asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem.
Probably should be done for other architectures too.
Ingo then found a better fix that only requires
a single line change, but it unfortunately only
works on gcc 4.3.
On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig
difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.
With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build:
6116998 1138540 883788 8139326 7c323e vmlinux-oi-with-patch
6137043 1138540 883788 8159371 7c808b vmlinux-optimize-inlining
~20k / 0.3% difference.

Impact: Reduce memory usage.
This is the second half of the changes to make the irq_desc_ptrs be
variable sized based on nr_cpu_ids. This is done by adding a new
"max_nr_irqs" macro to irq_vectors.h (and a dummy in irqnr.h) to
return a max NR_IRQS value based on NR_CPUS or nr_cpu_ids.
This necessitated moving the define of MAX_IO_APICS to a separate
file (asm/apicnum.h) so it could be included without the baggage
of the other asm/apicdef.h declarations.

Impact: fix bug where new irq_desc uses old cpumask pointers which are freed.
As Yinghai pointed out, init_copy_one_irq_desc() copies the old desc to
the new desc overwriting the cpumask pointers. Since the old_desc and
the cpumask pointers are freed, then memory corruption will occur if
these old pointers are used.
Move the allocation of these pointers to after the copy.

Impact: reduce memory usage, use new cpumask API.
Replace the affinity and pending_masks with cpumask_var_t's. This adds
to the significant size reduction done with the SPARSE_IRQS changes.
The added functions (init_alloc_desc_masks & init_copy_desc_masks) are
in the include file so they can be inlined (and optimized out for the
!CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK case.) [Naming chosen to be consistent with
the other init*irq functions, as well as the backwards arg declaration
of "from, to" instead of the more common "to, from" standard.]
Includes a slight change to the declaration of struct irq_desc to embed
the pending_mask within ifdef(CONFIG_SMP) to be consistent with other
references, and some small changes to Xen.

The recent dmaengine rework removed the capability to remove dma device
driver modules while net_dma is active. Rather than notify
dmaengine-clients that channels are trying to be removed, we now rely on
clients to notify dmaengine when they no longer have a need for
channels. Teach net_dma to release channels by taking dmaengine
references at netdevice open and dropping references at netdevice close.

then expression-with-side-effects never gets evaluated on UP builds.
As always, implementing it in C is the correct thing to do.

reasons.

Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.
In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.
If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.
So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
or the snapshot.
This patch:
VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.
ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.
reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

The code was shifting the endianness appropriately everywhere, annotate
the structs to avoid the sparse warnings when assigning the endian types
