Lennert Buytenhek 0b29de4a6a [ARM] 3824/1: iop3xx: add cp6 enable/disable macros
Add macros to enable and disable access to CP6.  On the iop3xx, enabling
CP6 access unfortunately also enables access to that coprocessor from
unprivileged code, so we need these macros to enable and disable access
to the coprocessor whenever we need to access it.

Lennert Buytenhek 197c9444d6 [ARM] 3814/1: move 80200 dma_inv_range() erratum check out of line
On stepping A0/A1 of the 80200, invalidating D-cache by line doesn't
clear the dirty bits, which means that if we invalidate a dirty line,
the dirty data can still be written back to memory later on.

To work around this, dma_inv_range() on these two processors is
implemented as dma_flush_range() (i.e. do a clean D-cache line before
doing the invalidate D-cache line.)  For this, we currently have a
processor ID check in xscale_dma_inv_range(), but a better solution
is to add a separate cache_fns and proc_info for A0/A1 80200.

Daniel Jacobowitz 6a39dd6222 [ARM] 3759/2: Remove uses of %?
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz

The ARM kernel has several uses of asm("foo%?").  %? is a GCC internal
modifier used to output conditional execution predicates.  However, no
version of GCC supports conditionalizing asm statements.  GCC 4.2 will
correctly expand %? to the empty string in user asms.  Earlier versions may
reuse the condition from the previous instruction.  In 'if (foo) asm
("bar%?");' this is somewhat likely to be right... but not reliable.

So, the only safe thing to do is to remove the uses of %?.  I believe
the tlbflush.h occurances were supposed to be removed before, based
on the comment about %? not working at the top of that file.

Old versions of GCC could omit branches around user asms if the asm didn't
mark the condition codes as clobbered.  This problem hasn't been seen on any
recent (3.x or 4.x) GCC, but it could theoretically happen.  So, where
%? was removed a cc clobber was added.

Linus Torvalds 79e453d49b Revert mmiocfg heuristics and blacklist changes
This reverts commits 11012d419c and
40dd2d20f2, which allowed us to use the
MMIO accesses for PCI config cycles even without the area being marked
reserved in the e820 memory tables.

Those changes were needed for EFI-environment Intel macs, but broke some
newer Intel 965 boards, so for now it's better to revert to our old
2.6.17 behaviour and at least avoid introducing any new breakage.

Andi Kleen has a set of patches that work with both EFI and the broken
Intel 965 boards, which will be applied once they get wider testing.

as it turns out, the bug is caused by handle_level_irq(), which if it
races with another CPU already handling this IRQ, it _unmasks_ the IRQ
line on the way out. This is not how 2.6.17 works, and we introduced
this bug in one of the early genirq cleanups right before it went into
-mm. (the bug was not in the genirq patchset for a long time, and we
didnt notice the bug due to the lack of -rt rebase to the new genirq
code. -rt, and hardirq-preemption in particular opens up such races much
wider than anything else.)

Linus Torvalds 47a5c6fa0e x86: save/restore eflags in context switch
(And reset it on new thread creation)

It turns out that eflags is important to save and restore not just
because of iopl, but due to the magic bits like the NT bit, which we
don't want leaking between different threads.
