While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC
patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
vfs_fsync_range and when not.
This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.
This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and
network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for
lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.
We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
to make sure we always get these sane options.
Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for
the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

Currently, with PAGE_SIZE_4KB, the kernel for loongson will hang on:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
The possible reason is the cache aliases problem:
Loongson 2F has 64kb, 4 way L1 Cache, the way size is 16kb, which is bigger
then 4kb. so, If using 4kb page size, there is cache aliases problem.
To avoid this kind of problem, extra cache flushing. The 2nd possible
solution is 16kb page size which avoids cache aliases without the need for
extra cache flushes. So we disable 4kB pages until the aliasing issue is
solved.

Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request. So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this.
The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.
See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

1. At the end of smtc_distribute_timer, nextstamp is valid and has already
passed so we goto repeat.
2. Nothing updates nextstamp (only updated if the timeout is in the future
And we just decided it is in the past)
3. At the end nextstamp still has the same value so it is still valid and
in the past.
4. This repeats until read_c0_count has a value which causes nextstamp to
be in the future.

Since commit 22242681cf ("MIPS: Extend
COMMAND_LINE_SIZE"), CL_SIZE is 4096 and local array variables with this
size will cause an build failure with default CONFIG_FRAME_WARN settings.
Although current users of such array variables are all early bootstrap
code and not likely to cause real stack overflow (thread_info corruption),
it is preferable to to declare these arrays static with __initdata.

Running a 64-bit kernel on a 64-bit CPU without an FPU would cause the
emulator to run in 32-bit mode. The c0_Status.FR bit is wired to zero
on systems without an FPU, so using that bit to decide how the emulator
behaves doesn't allow for proper emulation on 64-bit FPU-less
processors.
Instead, we need to select the emulator mode based on the user-space
ABI. Since the thread flag TIF_32BIT_REGS is used to set c0_Status.FR,
we can just use it to decide if the emulator should be in 32-bit or
64-bit mode.

The handle_edge_irq() flowhandler disables edge int sources which occur
too fast (i.e. another edge comes in before the irq handler function
had a chance to finish). Currently, the mask_ack() callback does not
ack the edges in hardware, leading to an endless loop in the flowhandler
where it tries to shut up the irq source.
When I rewrote the alchemy IRQ code I wrongly assumed the mask_ack()
callback was only used by the level flowhandler, hence it omitted the
(at the time pointless) edge acks. Turned out I was wrong; so here
is a complete mask_ack implementation for Alchemy IC, which fixes
the above mentioned problem.
