Restructure the bitmap_*_region() operations, to avoid code duplication.
Also reduces binary text size by about 100 bytes (ia64 arch). The original
Bottomley bitmap_*_region patch added about 1000 bytes of compiled kernel text
(ia64). The Mundt multiword extension added another 600 bytes, and this
restructuring patch gets back about 100 bytes.
But the real motivation was the reduced amount of duplicated code.
Tested by Paul Mundt using <= BITS_PER_LONG as well as power of
2 aligned multiword spanning allocations.

Add support to the lib/bitmap.c bitmap_*_region() routines
For bitmap regions larger than one word (nbits > BITS_PER_LONG). This removes
a BUG_ON() in lib bitmap.
I have an updated store queue API for SH that is currently using this with
relative success, and at first glance, it seems like this could be useful for
x86 (arch/i386/kernel/pci-dma.c) as well. Particularly for anything using
dma_declare_coherent_memory() on large areas and that attempts to allocate
large buffers from that space.
Paul Jackson also did some cleanup to this patch.

Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> says:
This patch set implements a number of patches to clean up and restructure the
bitmap region code, in addition to extending the interface to support
multiword spanning allocations.
The current implementation (before this patch set) is limited by only being
able to allocate pages <= BITS_PER_LONG, as noted by the strategically
positioned BUG_ON() at lib/bitmap.c:752:
/* We don't do regions of pages > BITS_PER_LONG. The
* algorithm would be a simple look for multiple zeros in the
* array, but there's no driver today that needs this. If you
* trip this BUG(), you get to code it... */
BUG_ON(pages > BITS_PER_LONG);
As I seem to have been the first person to trigger this, the result ends up
being the following patch set with the help of Paul Jackson.
The final patch in the series eliminates quite a bit of code duplication, so
the bitmap code size ends up being smaller than the current implementation as
an added bonus.
After these are applied, it should already be possible to do multiword
allocations with dma_alloc_coherent() out of ranges established by
dma_declare_coherent_memory() on x86 without having to change any of the code,
and the SH store queue API will follow up on this as the other user that needs
support for this.
This patch:
Some code cleanup on the lib/bitmap.c bitmap_*_region() routines:
* spacing
* variable names
* comments
Has no change to code function.

Sam's tree includes a new check, which found that we're exporting strpbrk()
multiple times.
It seems that the convention is that this is exported from the arch files, so
reove the lib/string.c export.

This change reverts the 033b96fd30db52a710d97b06f87d16fc59fee0f1 commit
from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel.
Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a
new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted,
and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any
future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to
properly detect this kind of event.
A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this
interface will be removed from the kernel.

If a tag is set for a node being deleted from a radix_tree, then that
tag gets cleared from the parent of the node, even if it is set for some
siblings of the node begin deleted.
This patch changes the logic to include a test for any_tag_set similar
to the logic a little futher down. Care is taken to ensure that
'nr_cleared_tags' remains equals to the number of entries in the 'tags'
array which are set to '0' (which means that this tag is not set in the
tree below pathp->node, and should be cleared at pathp->node and
possibly above.

The spinlock-debug wait-loop was using loops_per_jiffy to detect too long
spinlock waits - but on fast CPUs this led to a way too fast timeout and false
messages.
The fix is to include a __delay(1) call in the loop, to correctly approximate
the intended delay timeout of 1 second. The code assumes that every
architecture implements __delay(1) to last around 1/(loops_per_jiffy*HZ)
seconds.

The good shift array aligns the segment:
x[i+1 ... m-1] = y[i+j+1 ... j+m-1]
with its rightmost occurrence in x that fulfils x[i] neq y[i+j].
In previous version, the good shift array for the pattern ANPANMAN is:

This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region,
using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear
that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory
barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style
of access is required by some devices.
This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It
only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for
oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.

AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot
of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now.
There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour
for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA
now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the
same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now.
And various other changes and cleanups.
Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks
needs more testing.
This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now
we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and
in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW
IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this
patch:
- introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each
of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb
(software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU).
- gets rid of:
if (swiotlb)
return swiotlb_xxx();
- PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set
This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.

Fix the default behaviour for the remap operators in bitmap, cpumask and
nodemask.
As previously submitted, the pair of masks <A, B> defined a map of the
positions of the set bits in A to the corresponding bits in B. This is still
true.
The issue is how to map the other positions, corresponding to the unset (0)
bits in A. As previously submitted, they were all mapped to the first set bit
position in B, a constant map.
When I tried to code per-vma mempolicy rebinding using these remap operators,
I realized this was wrong.
This patch changes the default to map all the unset bit positions in A to the
same positions in B, the identity map.
For example, if A has bits 4-7 set, and B has bits 9-12 set, then the map
defined by the pair <A, B> maps each bit position in the first 32 bits as
follows:
0 ==> 0
...
3 ==> 3
4 ==> 9
...
7 ==> 12
8 ==> 8
9 ==> 9
...
31 ==> 31
This now corresponds to the typical behaviour desired when migrating pages and
policies from one cpuset to another.
The pages on nodes within the original cpuset, and the references in memory
policies to nodes within the original cpuset, are migrated to the
corresponding cpuset-relative nodes in the destination cpuset. Other pages
and node references are left untouched.

Correctly determine the tags to be cleared in radix_tree_delete() so we
don't keep moving up the tree clearing tags that we don't need to. For
example, if a tag is simply not set in the deleted item, nor anywhere up
the tree, radix_tree_delete() would attempt to clear it up the entire
height of the tree.
Also, tag_set() was made conditional so as not to dirty too many cachelines
high up in the radix tree. Instead, put this logic into
radix_tree_tag_set().

The klist reference counting in the find functions that use
klist_iter_init_node is broken. If the function (for example
driver_find_device) is called with a NULL start object then everything is
fine, the first call to next_device()/klist_next increases the ref-count of
the first node on the list and does nothing for the start object which is
NULL.
If they are called with a valid start object then klist_next will decrement
the ref-count for the start object but nobody has incremented it. Logical
place to fix this would be klist_iter_init_node because the function puts a
reference of the object into the klist_iter struct.

The distinction between hotplug and uevent does not make sense these
days, netlink events are the default.
udev depends entirely on netlink uevents. Only during early boot and
in initramfs, /sbin/hotplug is needed. So merge the two functions and
provide only one interface without all the options.
The netlink layer got a nice generic interface with named slots
recently, which is probably a better facility to plug events for
subsystem specific events.
Also the new poll() interface to /proc/mounts is a nicer way to
notify about changes than sending events through the core.
The uevents should only be used for driver core related requests to
userspace now.
