c31ae4bb4a asm-generic: introduce asm/bitsperlong.h
This provides a reliable way for asm-generic/types.h and other
files to find out if it is running on a 32 or 64 bit platform.

We cannot use CONFIG_64BIT for this in headers that are included
from user space because CONFIG symbols are not available there.
We also cannot do it inside of asm/types.h because some headers
need the word size but cannot include types.h.

The solution is to introduce a new header <asm/bitsperlong.h>
that defines both __BITS_PER_LONG for user space and
BITS_PER_LONG for usage in the kernel. The asm-generic
version falls back to 32 bit unless the architecture overrides
it, which I did for all 64 bit platforms.

26584853a4 Add core support for ARMv6/v7 big-endian
Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian
(byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support:

- setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and
  user threads
- big-endian page table walking
- REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault
  processing as they are still little-endian format
- Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed
  to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to
  little-endian

a1f98849fd [ARM] allow for alternative __copy_to_user/__clear_user implementations
This allows for optional alternative implementations of __copy_to_user
and __clear_user, with a possible runtime fallback to the standard
version when the alternative provides no gain over that standard
version. This is done by making the standard __copy_to_user into a weak
alias for the symbol __copy_to_user_std.  Same thing for __clear_user.

Those two functions are particularly good candidates to have alternative
implementations for, since they rely on the STRT instruction which has
lower performances than STM instructions on some CPU cores such as
the ARM1176 and Marvell Feroceon.

c3dc5bec05 flat: fix data sections alignment
The flat loader uses an architecture's flat_stack_align() to align the
stack but assumes word-alignment is enough for the data sections.

However, on the Xtensa S6000 we have registers up to 128bit width
which can be used from userspace and therefor need userspace stack and
data-section alignment of at least this size.

This patch drops flat_stack_align() and uses the same alignment that
is required for slab caches, ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN, or wordsize if it's
not defined by the architecture.

It also fixes m32r which was obviously kaput, aligning an
uninitialized stack entry instead of the stack pointer.

ecd322c9b3 [ARM] Add cmpxchg support for ARMv6+ systems (v5)
Add cmpxchg/cmpxchg64 support for ARMv6K and ARMv7 systems
(original patch from Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>)

The cmpxchg and cmpxchg64 functions can be implemented using the
LDREX*/STREX* instructions. Since operand lengths other than 32bit are
required, the full implementations are only available if the ARMv6K
extensions are present (for the LDREXB, LDREXH and LDREXD instructions).

For ARMv6, only 32-bits cmpxchg is available.

Mathieu :

Make cmpxchg_local always available with best implementation for all type sizes (1, 2, 4 bytes).
Make cmpxchg64_local always available.

Use "Ir" constraint for "old" operand, like atomic.h atomic_cmpxchg does.

Change since v3 :
- Add "memory" clobbers (thanks to Nicolas Pitre)
- removed __asmeq(), only needed for old compilers, very unlikely on ARMv6+.

Note : ARMv7-M should eventually be ifdefed-out of cmpxchg64. But it's not
supported by the Linux kernel currently.

Put back arm < v6 cmpxchg support.

bac4e960b5 [ARM] barriers: improve xchg, bitops and atomic SMP barriers
Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking:

- cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on
  architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory
  read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent
  ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM.

- test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers.

So put these barriers in.  Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub
operations which do not require barriers.

ae51e60984 [ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation types
From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>

To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
required.

The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
top half of a register.

The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
instruction itself.  The immediate bits in the instruction are not
contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

eb8f3142fa [ARM] 5456/1: add sys_preadv and sys_pwritev

This patch adds sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to ARM.

These syscalls simply take five long-sized parameters, so they
should have no calling-convention/ABI issues in the kernel.

Tested on armv5tel eabi using a preadv/pwritev test program posted
on linuxppc-dev earlier this month.

It would be nice to get this into the kernel before 2.6.30 final,
so that glibc's kernel version feature test for these syscalls
doesn't have to special-case ARM.

7fccfc00c0 [ARM] 5450/1: Flush only the needed range when unmapping a VMA
When unmapping N pages (e.g. shared memory) the amount of TLB flushes
done can be (N*PAGE_SIZE/ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE)*N although it should be N at
maximum. With PREEMPT kernel ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE is 8 pages, so there is a
noticeable performance penalty when unmapping a large VMA and the system
is spending its time in flush_tlb_range().

The problem is that tlb_end_vma() is always flushing the full VMA
range. The subrange that needs to be flushed can be calculated by
tlb_remove_tlb_entry(). This approach was suggested by Hugh Dickins,
and is also used by other arches.

The speed increase is roughly 3x for 8M mappings and for larger mappings
even more.

This adds a SZ_32K define to the available sizes. I need it for an
upcoming platform support.

f5f7eac41d Allow rwlocks to re-enable interrupts
Pass the original flags to rwlock arch-code, so that it can re-enable
interrupts if implemented for that architecture.

Initially, make __raw_read_lock_flags and __raw_write_lock_flags stubs
which just do the same thing as non-flags variants.
