320ab2b0b1 cpumask: convert struct clock_event_device to cpumask pointers.
Impact: change calling convention of existing clock_event APIs

struct clock_event_timer's cpumask field gets changed to take pointer,
as does the ->broadcast function.

Another single-patch change.  For safety, we BUG_ON() in
clockevents_register_device() if it's not set.

0de26520c7 cpumask: make irq_set_affinity() take a const struct cpumask
Impact: change existing irq_chip API

Not much point with gentle transition here: the struct irq_chip's
setaffinity method signature needs to change.

Fortunately, not widely used code, but hits a few architectures.

Note: In irq_select_affinity() I save a temporary in by mangling
irq_desc[irq].affinity directly.  Ingo, does this break anything?

29c0177e6a cpumask: change cpumask_scnprintf, cpumask_parse_user, cpulist_parse, and cpulist_scnprintf to take pointers.
Impact: change calling convention of existing cpumask APIs

Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by
cpumask_ ones which take struct cpumask pointers as expected.

These four functions don't have good replacement names; fortunately
they're rarely used, so we just change them over.

98a79d6a50 cpumask: centralize cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map
Impact: cleanup

Each SMP arch defines these themselves.  Move them to a central
location.

Twists:
1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
   CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
   Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
   so I just manipulate them both in sync.

4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
   declarations.

e807f9574e MIPS: Fix potential DOS by untrusted user app.
On a 64 bit kernel if an o32 syscall was made with a syscall number less
than 4000, we would read the function from outside of the bounds of the
syscall table.  This led to non-deterministic behavior including system
crashes.

While we were at it we reworked the 32 bit version as well to use fewer
instructions.  Both 32 and 64 bit versions are use the same code now.

cea7e2dfde MIPS: Sort out CPU type to name translation.
As noticed by David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com>, the old long switch
statement did not comply with the Linux C coding style.  It was also yet
another place of code to be changed when adding a new processor type
leading to annoying bugs for example in /proc/cpuinfo.

Fixed by moving the setting of the CPU type string into the core of the
probing code and a few BUG_ON() test to ensure the CPU probing code indeed
did its job and removing multiple now redundant tests.

b7e4226e4f [MIPS] Build fix: Fix irq flags type
Though from a hardware perspective it would be sensible to use only a
32-bit unsigned int type Linux defines interrupt flags to be stored in
an unsigned long and nothing else.

d7161a6534 kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single stepping
On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.

First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.

On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core.  The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping.  This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

6b3766a263 [MIPS] vmlinux.lds.S: handle .text.*
The -ffunction-sections puts each text in .text.function_name section.
Without this patch, most functions are placed outside _text..._etext
area and it breaks show_stacktrace(), etc.

c65a5480ff [MIPS] Fix potential latency problem due to non-atomic cpu_wait.
If an interrupt happened between checking of NEED_RESCHED and WAIT
instruction, adjust EPC to restart from checking of NEED_RESCHED.
