This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to
memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields.
This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions
that show up high on certain kernel profiles, and just going "Oh, let's
just clean that up".
Architectures that don't supply the #define to fill just the padding
fields will still fall back to memset().
* stat-cleanups:
vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields
vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function

This patch changes the type of the struct nmiaction flags field
to unsigned long from unsigned int. All the usages of the flags
field are unsigned long already. There is only one flag used
currently, NMI_FLAG_FIRST, but having the wrong size could cause
a truncation bug in the future on 64 bit architectures.

Admittedly this is something that the compiler should be able to just do
for us, but gcc just isn't that smart. And trying to use a structure
initializer (which would get us the right semantics) ends up resulting
in gcc allocating stack space for _two_ 'struct stat', and then copying
one into the other.
So do it by hand - just have a per-architecture macro that initializes
the padding fields. And if the architecture doesn't provide one, fall
back to the old behavior of just doing the whole memset() first.

It turns out that there are more cases than CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC that
can have holes in the kernel address space: it seems to happen easily
with Xen, and it looks like the AMD gart64 code will also punch holes
dynamically.
Actually hitting that case is still very unlikely, so just do the
access, and take an exception and fix it up for the very unlikely case
of it being a page-crosser with no next page.
And hey, this abstraction might even help other architectures that have
other issues with unaligned word accesses than the possible missing next
page. IOW, this could do the byte order magic too.
Peter Anvin fixed a thinko in the shifting for the exception case.

This patch tries to fix the problem of page fault exception
caused by accessing nmiaction structure in nmi if kmemcheck
is enabled.
If kmemcheck is enabled, the memory allocated through slab are
in pages that are marked non-present, so that some checks could
be done in the page fault handling code ( e.g. whether the
memory is read before written to ).
As nmiaction is allocated in this way, so it resides in a
non-present page. Then there is a page fault while the nmi code
accessing the nmiaction structure, which would then cause a
warning by WARN_ON_ONCE(in_nmi()) in kmemcheck_fault(), called
by do_page_fault().
This significantly simplifies the code as well, as the whole
dynamic allocation dance goes away.
v2: as Peter suggested, changed the nmiaction to use static
storage.
v3: as Peter suggested, use macro to shorten the codes. Also
keep the original usage of register_nmi_handler, so users of
this call doesn't need change.

In discussions with Thomas Mingarelli about hpwdt, he explained
to me some issues they were some when using their virtual NMI
button to test the hpwdt driver.
It turns out the virtual NMI button used on HP's machines do no
send unknown NMIs but instead send IO_CHK NMIs. The way the
kernel code is written, the hpwdt driver can not register itself
against that type of NMI and therefore can not successfully
capture system information before panic'ing.
To solve this I created two new NMI queues to allow driver to
register against the IO_CHK and SERR NMIs. Or in the hpwdt all
three (if you include unknown NMIs too).
The change is straightforward and just mimics what the unknown
NMI does.

Provide the proper override macros for x32 siginfo_t. The combination
of a special type here and an overall alignment constraint actually
ends up with all the types being properly aligned, but the hack is
needed to keep the substructures inside siginfo_t from adding padding.
Note: use __attribute__((aligned())) since __aligned() is not exported
to user space.

It's only called from amd.c:srat_detect_node(). The introduced
condition for calling the fixup code is true for all AMD
multi-node processors, e.g. Magny-Cours and Interlagos. There we
have 2 NUMA nodes on one socket. Thus there are cores having
different numa-node-id but with equal phys_proc_id.
There is no point to print error messages in such a situation.
The confusing/misleading error message was introduced with
commit 64be4c1c2428e148de6081af235e2418e6a66dda ("x86: Add
x86_init platform override to fix up NUMA core numbering").
Remove the default fixup function (especially the error message)
and replace it by a NULL pointer check, move the
Numascale-specific condition for calling the fixup into the
fixup-function itself and slightly adapt the comment.

This change enables SIGSYS, defines _sigfields._sigsys, and adds
x86 (compat) arch support. _sigsys defines fields which allow
a signal handler to receive the triggering system call number,
the relevant AUDIT_ARCH_* value for that number, and the address
of the callsite.
SIGSYS is added to the SYNCHRONOUS_MASK because it is desirable for it
to have setup_frame() called for it. The goal is to ensure that
ucontext_t reflects the machine state from the time-of-syscall and not
from another signal handler.
The first consumer of SIGSYS would be seccomp filter. In particular,
a filter program could specify a new return value, SECCOMP_RET_TRAP,
which would result in the system call being denied and the calling
thread signaled. This also means that implementing arch-specific
support can be dependent upon HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER.

This merges the 32- and 64-bit versions of the x86 strncpy_from_user()
by just rewriting it in C rather than the ancient inline asm versions
that used lodsb/stosb and had been duplicated for (trivial) differences
between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
While doing that, it also speeds them up by doing the accesses a word at
a time. Finally, the new routines also properly handle the case of
hitting the end of the address space, which we have never done correctly
before (fs/namei.c has a hack around it for that reason).
Despite all these improvements, it actually removes more lines than it
adds, due to the de-duplication. Also, we no longer export (or define)
the legacy __strncpy_from_user() function (that was defined to not do
the user permission checks), since it's not actually used anywhere, and
the user address space checks are built in to the new code.
Other architecture maintainers have been notified that the old hack in
fs/namei.c will be going away in the 3.5 merge window, in case they
copied the x86 approach of being a bit cavalier about the end of the
address space.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them. This is preparation for that.
This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:
- some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
bit count instruction, for example.
- I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have
more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
this.
(and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
right thing to do, of course)

x86-64 can access the low half of any register, but i386 can only do
it with a subset of registers. 'r' causes compilation failures on i386,
but 'q' expresses the constraint properly.

Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
"Short summary for the whole series:
A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
design and its implementations for various architectures. There exist
more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.
For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
interchanged. For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
(like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
performance. Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
easily shared between different architectures. The provided patches
unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
existing dma attributes concept. The thread with more references is
available here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html
These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support. More
information is available in the following thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819
More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee445d
"dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").
The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
(with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
functions."
People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.
Looks like pohmelfs is going to wait for 3.5 and more external support
for merging.

The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the
32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the
HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially
it turned off the use of HLT.
This workaround was commented in the code as:
"disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations"
"This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA
wreckage. It should be safe to remove."
H. Peter Anvin additionally adds:
"To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of
flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to
run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind,
including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed
to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT
caused some of these systems to fail.
They were by far in the minority even back then."
Alan Cox further says:
"Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT
occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during
DMA tended to go astray.
Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520
fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of
use."
So, let's finally drop this.

Pull x86 cleanups from Peter Anvin:
"The biggest textual change is the cleanup to use symbolic constants
for x86 trap values.
The only *functional* change and the reason for the x86/x32 dependency
is the move of is_ia32_task() into <asm/thread_info.h> so that it can
be used in other code that needs to understand if a system call comes
from the compat entry point (and therefore uses i386 system call
numbers) or not. One intended user for that is the BPF system call
filter. Moving it out of <asm/compat.h> means we can define it
unconditionally, returning always true on i386."

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..
