Conflicts in core and arch percpu codes are mostly from commit
ed78e1e078dd44249f88b1dd8c76dafb39567161 which substituted many
num_possible_cpus() with nr_cpu_ids.  As for-next branch has moved all
the first chunk allocators into mm/percpu.c, the changes are moved
from arch code to mm/percpu.c.

65a5053b76 ARM: 5638/1: arch/arm/kernel/signal.c: use correct address space for CRUNCH
preserve_crunch_context() calls __copy_to_user() which expects the
destination address to be in __user space.  setup_sigframe() properly
passes the destination address.

restore_crunch_context() calls __copy_from_user() which expects the
source address to be in __user space.  restore_sigframe() properly
passes the source address.

This fixes {preserve/restore}_crunch_context() to accept the
address as __user space and resolves the following sparse warnings:

f6430a938d [ARM] 5565/2: Use PAGE_SIZE and RO_DATA() in link script
Update the link script for ARM to use PAGE_SIZE instead of hard-
coded 4096. Also the old RODATA macro is deprecated
for the RO_DATA(PAGE_SIZE) macro. As a consequence the PAGE_SIZE
was changed from (1UL << PAGE_SHIFT) to (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
because the linker does not understand the "UL" suffix to numeric
constants.

x86 throws away .discard section but no other archs do.  Also,
.discard is not thrown away while linking modules.  Make every arch

This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

9ccdac3662 [ARM] idle: clean up pm_idle calling, obey hlt_counter
pm_idle is used by infrastructure (eg, cpuidle) which expects architectures
to call it in a certain way.  Arrange for ARM to follow x86's lead on this
and call pm_idle() with interrupts already disabled.  However, we expect
pm_idle() to enable interrupts before it returns.

Also, OMAP wants to be able to disable hlt-ing, so allow hlt_counter to
prevent all calls to pm_idle.

c894ed6956 [ARM] 5558/1: Add extra checks to ARM unwinder to avoid tracing corrupt stacks
There are situations where the unwinder goes beyond stack boundaries and
unwinds random data. This patch moves the stack boundaries check after
the unwind_exec_insn() call and adds an extra check for possible
infinite loops (like "mov pc, lr" with pc == lr).

The patch also fixes a bug in the unwind instructions interpreter. The
0xb0 instruction can only set PC to LR if this wasn't already set by
a previous instruction (this is used on exceptions taken while in kernel
mode where svc_entry is annotated with ".save {r0 - pc}").

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

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
Kernel 2.6.30-rc1 added sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to most archs
but not ARM, resulting in

<stdin>:1421:2: warning: #warning syscall preadv not implemented
<stdin>:1425:2: warning: #warning syscall pwritev not implemented

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.

4731f8b66d [ARM] 5428/1: Module relocation update for R_ARM_V4BX
It would seem when building kernel modules with modern binutils
(required by modern GCC) for ARM v4T targets (specifically observed
with the Samsung 24xx SoC which is an 920T) R_ARM_V4BX relocations
are emitted for function epilogues.

This manifests at module load time with an "unknown relocation: 40"
error message.

The following patch adds the R_ARM_V4BX relocation to the ARM kernel
module loader. The relocation operation is taken from that within the
binutils bfd library.

be093beb60 [ARM] pass reboot command line to arch_reset()
OMAP wishes to pass state to the boot loader upon reboot in order to
instruct it whether to wait for USB-based reflashing or not.  There is
already a facility to do this via the reboot() syscall, except we ignore
the string passed to machine_restart().

This patch fixes things to pass this string to arch_reset().  This means
that we keep the reboot mode limited to telling the kernel _how_ to
perform the reboot which should be independent of what we request the
boot loader to do.

446c92b290 [ARM] 5421/1: ftrace: fix crash due to tracing of __naked functions
This is a fix for the following crash observed in 2.6.29-rc3:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150

On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then
mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there
is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was
called.

19390c4d03 linker script: define __per_cpu_load on all SMP capable archs
Impact: __per_cpu_load available on all SMP capable archs

Percpu now requires three symbols to be defined - __per_cpu_load,
__per_cpu_start and __per_cpu_end.  There were three archs which
didn't have it.  Update them as follows.

* powerpc: can use generic PERCPU() macro.  Compile tested for
  powerpc32, compile/boot tested for powerpc64.

* ia64: can use generic PERCPU_VADDR() macro.  __phys_per_cpu_start is
  identical to __per_cpu_load.  Compile tested and symbol table looks
  identical after the change except for the additional __per_cpu_load.

* arm: added explicit __per_cpu_load definition.  Currently uses
  unified .init output section so can't use the generic macro.  Dunno
  whether the unified .init ouput section is required by arch
  peculiarity so I left it alone.  Please break it up and use PERCPU()
  if possible.
