Two changes are necessary to enable proper operation of the DM9000 device with
the Colibri PXA 270 board: firstly, the IRQ type needs to be configured for
rising edge interrupts, and secondly this configuration needs to be
communicated through to the DM9000.

Whereas most Orion 5x machine support code would initialise the PCI
subsystem with nr_controllers in their struct hw_pci set to 2, the
DNS323 and Kurobox Pro machine support code had nr_controllers set
to 1.
This was presumably done because on those two machines, the PCI(-X)
controller (nr == 1) isn't used, requiring initialisation of only
the PCIe controller (nr == 0.) However, not initialising the PCI(-X)
controller on boards that don't use it leads to a situation where
both the PCIe and the PCI(-X) controller think that their root bus is
zero, and it messes up IRQ assignment.
This patch changes the DNS323 and Kurobox Pro support code to always
use nr_controllers == 2.

The CPU's dma_flush_range() operation needs to clean+invalidate the
given memory area if the cache is in writeback mode, or do just the
invalidate part if the cache is in writethrough mode, but the current
proc-arm{925,926,940,946} (incorrectly) do a cache clean in the
latter case. This patch fixes that.

A lot of stuff in spitz/akita/etc. depends on corgi_ssp to be initialised
early. However corgi_ssp initialisation fails, because at that time pxa*-ssp
devices don't have drivers. Move ssp earlier in the makefile so they are
registered before corgi-ssp.
Also move sleep/suspend and cpu-freq to more logical places

Related to d3930614e68bdf83a120d904c039a64e9f75dba1.
RCSR is only present on PXA2xx CPUs, not on PXA3xx CPUs. Therefore,
we should not be unconditionally writing to RCSR from generic code.
Since we now clear the RCSR status from the SoC specific PXA PM code
and before reset in the arch_reset() function, the duplication in
the corgi, poodle, spitz and tosa code can be removed.

When an irq is reported all lower prio irqs are masked until the current
irq is acked. So never leave handle_prio_irq without acking.
desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS should never become true because the current

PXA cpus maximum frequency depends on the cpu (624 for
pxa270, 520 for pxa272, 416 for pxa271). It should be
provided on kernel or module start (cpu-pxa
pxa27x_maxfreq parameter).
Make use of cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo (patch by Bill
Reese provided by Philipp Zabel).
Some additionnal fixes from Philipp Zabel include :
* rename PXA cpufreq driver to reflect added PXA27x support
* remove unused variable ramstart from PXA cpufreq driver

This fixes some two minor clk issues.
The first is a comparison where a byte will probably wrap around to 0 instead of being saturated to 255, shouldn't be triggered very often but need fixing.
The second is an attempt by the driver to adjust MCLK down to the maximum frequency according to the spec, so we don't accidentally overclock the PL18x block. None of the mach-{versatile|integrator|lh7a40x} that use it in-tree seem to have a problem with this (all are well below 100MHz, typically 33MHz), but some day there will be a problem.
This is not applied on top of the earlier mmci patch for race condition but rather a clean 2.6.25, but I guess it applies without major protests anyway.

System topology on intel based system needs to be exported
for non-numa case as well.
All parts of asm-i386/topology.h has come under
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA after the merge to asm-x86/topology.h
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/* is populated based on
ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES
The sysfs cpu topology is not being populated on my dual socket
dual core xeon 5160 processor based (x86 32 bit) system.
CONFIG_NUMA is not set in my case yet the topology is relevant
and useful.
irqbalance daemon application depends on topology to build the
cpus and package list and it fails on Fedora9 beta since the
sysfs topology was not being populated in the 2.6.25 kernel.
I am not sure if it was intentional to not define ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES
for non-numa systems.
This fix has been tested on the above mentioned dual core, dual socket
system.

This worked fine before 709f744, and it works fine with 709f744

On some of our (single board computer) boards (x86) we are using an
IPMI controller that uses I/O ports 0x62 and 0x66 for a KCS (keyboard
controller style) IPMI system interface.
Trying to load the openipmi driver fails, because the ports
(0x62/0x66) are reserved for keyboard. keyboard reserves the full
range 0x60-0x6F while it doesn't need to.
Reserve only ports 0x60 and 0x64 for the legacy PS/2 i8042 keyboad
controller instead of 0x60-0x6F to allow the openipmi driver to work.

Move the scattered checks for PAT support to a single function. Its
moved to addon_cpuid_features.c as this file is shared between 32 and
64 bit.
Remove the manipulation of the PAT feature bit and just disable PAT in
the PAT layer, based on the PAT bit provided by the CPU and the
current CPU version/model white list.
Change the boot CPU check so it works on Voyager somewhere in the
future as well :) Also panic, when a secondary has PAT disabled but
the primary one has alrady switched to PAT. We have no way to undo
that.
The white list is kept for now to ensure that we can rely on known to
work CPU types and concentrate on the software induced problems
instead of fighthing CPU erratas and subtle wreckage caused by not yet
verified CPUs. Once the PAT code has stabilized enough, we can remove
the white list and open the can of worms.

This moves geode_has_vsa2 into a .c file, caches the result we get from
the VSA virtual registers, and causes the function to no longer be inline.

The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
(and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The
latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
mess of scheduling.
The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
previous commit 00b41ec2611dc98f87f30753ee00a53db648d662 'Revert
"semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
never had any issues like this.
This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.
As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
plan for several years.
These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
particular) and Alan holds out some hope:
"tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."
so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

This reverts commit bf726eab3711cf192405d21688a4b21e07b6188a, as it has
been reported to cause a regression with processes stuck in __down(),
apparently because some missing wakeup.
Quoth Sven Wegener:
"I'm currently investigating a regression that has showed up with my
last git pull yesterday. Bisecting the commits showed bf726e
"semaphore: fix" to be the culprit, reverting it fixed the issue.
Symptoms: During heavy filesystem usage (e.g. a kernel compile) I get
several compiler processes in uninterruptible sleep, blocking all i/o
on the filesystem. System is an Intel Core 2 Quad running a 64bit
kernel and userspace. Filesystem is xfs on top of lvm. See below for
the output of sysrq-w."
See
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/10/45
for full report.
In the meantime, we can just fix the BKL performance regression by
reverting back to the good old BKL spinlock implementation instead,
since any sleeping lock will generally perform badly, especially if it
tries to be fair.

It actually makes much more sense there, and we do tend to need it for
non-RCU usage too. Moving it to <linux/compiler.h> will allow some
other cases that have open-coded the same logic to use the same helper
function that RCU has used.
