Building in a filesystem on a loop device on a tmpfs file can hang when
swapping, the loop thread caught in that infamous throttle_vm_writeout.
In theory this is a long standing problem, which I've either never seen in
practice, or long ago suppressed the recollection, after discounting my load
and my tmpfs size as unrealistically high. But now, with the new aops, it has
become easy to hang on one machine.
Loop used to grab_cache_page before the old prepare_write to tmpfs, which
seems to have been enough to free up some memory for any swapin needed; but
the new write_begin lets tmpfs find or allocate the page (much nicer, since
grab_cache_page missed tmpfs pages in swapcache).
When allocating a fresh page, tmpfs respects loop's mapping_gfp_mask, which
has __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS stripped off, and throttle_vm_writeout is designed to
break out when __GFP_IO or GFP_FS is unset; but when tmfps swaps in,
read_swap_cache_async allocates with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE regardless of the
mapping_gfp_mask - hence the hang.
So, pass gfp_mask down the line from shmem_getpage to shmem_swapin to
swapin_readahead to read_swap_cache_async to add_to_swap_cache.

swapin_readahead has never sat well in mm/memory.c: move it to mm/swap_state.c
beside its kindred read_swap_cache_async. Why were its args in a different
order? rearrange them. And since it was always followed by a
read_swap_cache_async of the target page, fold that in and return struct
page*. Then CONFIG_SWAP=n no longer needs valid_swaphandles and
read_swap_cache_async stubs.

Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions
zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2)
Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to
start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and
makes code clearer.
zero_user_segment(page, start, end)
Same for a single segment.
zero_user(page, start, length)
Length variant for the case where we know the length.
We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues:
1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable.
2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM.
Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the
code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always
KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code.
Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing
with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with
kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those
configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other
functions defined in highmem.h.
Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page
function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced
here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these
functions are called.
Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

Teach AVR32 to use the "GPIO Library" when exposing its GPIOs, so that signals
on external chips (like GPIO expanders) can easily be used.
This mostly reorganizes some existing logic, with two minor changes in
behavior:
- The PSR registers are used instead of the previous "gpio_mask" values,
matching AT91 behavior and removing some duplication between that role
and that of "pinmux_mask".
- NR_IRQs grew to acommodate a bank of external GPIOs. Eventually this
number should probably become a board-specific config option.
There's a debugfs dump of status for the built-in GPIOs, showing which pins
have deglitching, pullups, or open drain drive enabled, as well as the ID
string used when requesting each IRQ.

This adds a new-style I2C driver with basic support for the sixteen bit
PCA9539 GPIO expanders. These chips have multiple registers, push-pull output
drivers, and (not supported in this patch) pin change interrupts.
Board-specific code must provide "pca9539_platform_data" with each chip's
"i2c_board_info". That provides the GPIO numbers to be used by that chip, and
callbacks for board-specific setup/teardown logic.
Derived from drivers/i2c/chips/pca9539.c (which has no current known users).
This is faster and simpler; it uses 16-bit register access, and cache the
OUTPUT and DIRECTION registers for fast access

This is a new-style I2C driver for most common 8 and 16 bit I2C based
"quasi-bidirectional" GPIO expanders: pcf8574 or pcf8575, and several
compatible models (mostly faster, supporting I2C at up to 1 MHz).
The driver exposes the GPIO signals using the platform-neutral GPIO
programming interface, so they are easily accessed by other kernel code. The
lack of such a flexible kernel API has been a big factor in the proliferation
of board-specific drivers for these chips... stuff that rarely makes it
upstream since it's so ugly. This driver will let such boards use standard
calls.
Since it's a new-style driver, these devices must be configured as part of
board-specific init. That eliminates the need for error-prone manual
configuration of module parameters, and makes compatibility with legacy
drivers (pcf8574.c, pc8575.c) for these chips easier (there's a clear
either/or disjunction).

Provide new implementation infrastructure that platforms may choose to use
when implementing the GPIO programming interface. Platforms can update their
GPIO support to use this. In many cases the incremental cost to access a
non-inlined GPIO should be less than a dozen instructions, with the memory
cost being about a page (total) of extra data and code. The upside is:
* Providing two features which were "want to have (but OK to defer)" when
GPIO interfaces were first discussed in November 2006:
- A "struct gpio_chip" to plug in GPIOs that aren't directly supported
by SOC platforms, but come from FPGAs or other multifunction devices
using conventional device registers (like UCB-1x00 or SM501 GPIOs,
and southbridges in PCs with more open specs than usual).
- Full support for message-based GPIO expanders, where registers are
accessed through sleeping I/O calls. Previous support for these
"cansleep" calls was just stubs. (One example: the widely used
pcf8574 I2C chips, with 8 GPIOs each.)
* Including a non-stub implementation of the gpio_{request,free}() calls,
making those calls much more useful. The diagnostic labels are also
recorded given DEBUG_FS, so /sys/kernel/debug/gpio can show a snapshot
of all GPIOs known to this infrastructure.
The driver programming interfaces introduced in 2.6.21 do not change at all;
this infrastructure is entirely below those covers.

IOMMUs merges scatter/gather segments without considering a low level
driver's restrictions. The problem is that IOMMUs can't access to the
limitations because they are in request_queue.
This patchset introduces a new structure, device_dma_parameters,
including dma information. A pointer to device_dma_parameters is added
to struct device. The bus specific structures (like pci_dev) includes
device_dma_parameters. Low level drivers can use dma_set_max_seg_size
to tell IOMMUs about the restrictions.
We can move more dma stuff in struct device (like dma_mask) to struct
device_dma_parameters later (needs some cleanups before that).
This includes patches for all the IOMMUs that could merge sg (x86_64,
ppc, IA64, alpha, sparc64, and parisc) though only the ppc patch was
tested. The patches for other IOMMUs are only compile tested.
This patch:
Add a new structure, device_dma_parameters, including dma information. A
pointer to device_dma_parameters is added to struct device.
- there are only max_segment_size and segment_boundary_mask there but we'll
move more dma stuff in struct device (like dma_mask) to struct
device_dma_parameters later. segment_boundary_mask is not supported yet.
- new accessors for the dma parameters are added. So we can easily change
where to place struct device_dma_parameters in the future.
- dma_get_max_seg_size returns 64K if dma_parms in struct device isn't set
up properly. 64K is the default max_segment_size in the block layer.

This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:
int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
const struct itimerspec *utmr,
struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);
The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.
The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).
The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time.
The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.
Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

(which is not too small) will be lost.
With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. signal_group_exit(),
the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress.
It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.

It was dumb to make get_task_comm() return void. Change it to return a
pointer to the resulting output for caller convenience.

Since the epoll code is very careful to not nest same instance locks
allow the recursion.

This patch modifies the get_irqnr_preamble macro to work with multiple
platforms at run-time by reading the address of the GIC controller from
the gic_cpu_base_addr variable. This variable is defined in core.c and
intialised in realview_eb.c (gic_init_irq).

This patch moves the platform specific definitions from platform.h into
the board-eb.h file. It drops the INT_* definitions as they are no
longer used in irqs.h (moved to board-eb.h). It renames REALVIEW_*
macros to REALVIEW_EB_* or REALVIEW_EB11MP_* to distinguish between
standard EB and EB + the ARM11MPCore tile. The platform.h file contains
common definitions to the RealView platforms and it is only directly
included in board-*.h files.

This patch adds dummy local timers for each CPU so that the board clock
device is used to broadcast events to the other CPUs. The patch also
adds the declaration for the dummy_timer_setup function (the equivalent
of local_timer_setup when CONFIG_LOCAL_TIMERS is not set).
Due to the way clockevents work, the dummy timer on the first CPU has to
be registered before the board timer.
