On some SB800 systems polarity for IOAPIC pin2 is wrongly
specified as low active by BIOS. This caused system hangs after
resume from S3 when HPET was used in one-shot mode on such
systems because a timer interrupt was missed (HPET signal is
high active).

Need to adjust the clockevent device rating for the structure
that will be registered with clockevent system instead of the

Without this fix, APB timer rating will be higher than LAPIC
timer such that it can not be released later to be used as the

We need to delay freeing any mapped page on SMP and ARMv7 systems to
ensure that the data is not accessed by other CPUs, or is used for
speculative prefetch with ARMv7.  This includes not only mapped pages
but also pages used for the page tables themselves.

This avoids races with the MMU/other CPUs accessing pages after they've
been freed but before we've invalidated the TLB.

When SMP_ON_UP is used and the spinlocks are inlined, we end up with
inline spinlocks in the exit code, with references from the SMP
alternatives section to the exit sections.  This causes link time

Commit 18991197 added --build-id
linker option when toolchain supports it. ARM one does, but for some
reason places the section at 0 when linker script doesn't mention it
explicitly.

The 1e621a8e worked around the problem
removing this section from binary image with explicit objcopy options,
but it still exists in vmlinux, confusing tools like debuggers and perf.

This problem was discussed here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html


but the proposed changes to the linker script were substantial.

This patch simply places NOTES (36 bytes long, at least when compiled
with CodeSourcery toolchain) between data and bss, which seem to be
the right place (and suggested by the sample linker script in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h).

It is enough to place it correctly in vmlinux (so debuggers are happy):

Section Headers:

On versions of the Cortex-A9 prior to r3p0, an interrupted ICIALLUIS
operation may prevent the completion of a following broadcasted
operation if the second operation is received by a CPU before the
ICIALLUIS has completed, potentially leading to corrupted entries in
the cache or TLB.

This workaround sets a bit in the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9,
causing CP15 maintenance operations to be uninterruptible.

Now that we can execute a CONFIG_SMP kernel on a uniprocessor system,
extra care has to be taken in the PMU IRQ affinity setting code to
ensure that we don't always fail to initialise.

This patch changes the CPU PMU initialisation code so that when we
only have a single IRQ, whose affinity can not be changed at the
controller, we report success (0) rather than -EINVAL.

The effect of cache sync operation is to drain the store buffer and
wait for all internal buffers to be empty. In normal conditions, store
buffer is able to merge the normal memory writes within its 32-byte
data buffers.  Due to this erratum present in r3p0, the effect of cache
sync operation on the store buffer still remains when the operation
completes. This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain
and this prevents it from merging any further writes.

This can severely affect performance on the write traffic esp. on
Normal memory NC one.

The proposed workaround is to replace the normal offset of cache sync
operation(0x730) by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310
register 0x740.

Add an m68k/coldfire optimized memmove() function for the m68knommu arch.
This is the same function as used by m68k. Simple speed tests show this
is faster once buffers are larger than 4 bytes, and significantly faster
on much larger buffers (4 times faster above about 100 bytes).

This also goes part of the way to fixing a regression caused by commit
ea61bc46

 ("m68k/m68knommu: merge MMU and
non-MMU string.h"), which breaks non-coldfire non-mmu builds (which is
