We need to make sure that the clocksources are resumed, when timekeeping is
resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this.
Add a resume function pointer to the clocksource struct, so clocksource
drivers which need to reinitialize the clocksource can provide a resume
function.
Add a resume function, which calls the maybe available clocksource resume
functions and resets the watchdog function, so a stable TSC can be used
accross suspend/resume.

Currently the slab allocators contain callbacks into the page allocator to
perform the draining of pagesets on remote nodes. This requires SLUB to have
a whole subsystem in order to be compatible with SLAB. Moving node draining
out of the slab allocators avoids a section of code in SLUB.
Move the node draining so that is is done when the vm statistics are updated.
At that point we are already touching all the cachelines with the pagesets of
a processor.
Add a expire counter there. If we have to update per zone or global vm
statistics then assume that the pageset will require subsequent draining.
The expire counter will be decremented on each vm stats update pass until it
reaches zero. Then we will drain one batch from the pageset. The draining
will cause vm counter updates which will then cause another expiration until
the pcp is empty. So we will drain a batch every 3 seconds.
Note that remote node draining is a somewhat esoteric feature that is required
on large NUMA systems because otherwise significant portions of system memory
can become trapped in pcp queues. The number of pcp is determined by the
number of processors and nodes in a system. A system with 4 processors and 2
nodes has 8 pcps which is okay. But a system with 1024 processors and 512
nodes has 512k pcps with a high potential for large amount of memory being
caught in them.

vmstat is currently using the cache reaper to periodically bring the
statistics up to date. The cache reaper does only exists in SLUB as a way to
provide compatibility with SLAB. This patch removes the vmstat calls from the
slab allocators and provides its own handling.
The advantage is also that we can use a different frequency for the updates.
Refreshing vm stats is a pretty fast job so we can run this every second and
stagger this by only one tick. This will lead to some overlap in large
systems. F.e a system running at 250 HZ with 1024 processors will have 4 vm
updates occurring at once.
However, the vm stats update only accesses per node information. It is only
necessary to stagger the vm statistics updates per processor in each node. Vm
counter updates occurring on distant nodes will not cause cacheline
contention.
We could implement an alternate approach that runs the first processor on each
node at the second and then each of the other processor on a node on a
subsequent tick. That may be useful to keep a large amount of the second free
of timer activity. Maybe the timer folks will have some feedback on this one?

(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"

It's very common for file systems to need to zero part or all of a page,
the simplist way is just to use kmap_atomic() and memset(). There's
actually a library function in include/linux/highmem.h that does exactly
that, but it's confusingly named memclear_highpage_flush(), which is
descriptive of *how* it does the work rather than what the *purpose* is.
So this patchset renames the function to zero_user_page(), and calls it
from the various places that currently open code it.
This first patch introduces the new function call, and converts all the
core kernel callsites, both the open-coded ones and the old
memclear_highpage_flush() ones. Following this patch is a series of
conversions for each file system individually, per AKPM, and finally a
patch deprecating the old call. The diffstat below shows the entire
patchset.

Analysis of current linux futex code :
--------------------------------------
A central hash table futex_queues[] holds all contexts (futex_q) of waiting
threads.
Each futex_wait()/futex_wait() has to obtain a spinlock on a hash slot to
perform lookups or insert/deletion of a futex_q.
When a futex_wait() is done, calling thread has to :
1) - Obtain a read lock on mmap_sem to be able to validate the user pointer
(calling find_vma()). This validation tells us if the futex uses
an inode based store (mapped file), or mm based store (anonymous mem)
2) - compute a hash key
3) - Atomic increment of reference counter on an inode or a mm_struct
4) - lock part of futex_queues[] hash table
5) - perform the test on value of futex.
(rollback is value != expected_value, returns EWOULDBLOCK)
(various loops if test triggers mm faults)
6) queue the context into hash table, release the lock got in 4)
7) - release the read_lock on mmap_sem
<block>
8) Eventually unqueue the context (but rarely, as this part may be done
by the futex_wake())
Futexes were designed to improve scalability but current implementation has
various problems :
- Central hashtable :
This means scalability problems if many processes/threads want to use
futexes at the same time.
This means NUMA unbalance because this hashtable is located on one node.
- Using mmap_sem on every futex() syscall :
Even if mmap_sem is a rw_semaphore, up_read()/down_read() are doing atomic
ops on mmap_sem, dirtying cache line :
- lot of cache line ping pongs on SMP configurations.
mmap_sem is also extensively used by mm code (page faults, mmap()/munmap())
Highly threaded processes might suffer from mmap_sem contention.
mmap_sem is also used by oprofile code. Enabling oprofile hurts threaded
programs because of contention on the mmap_sem cache line.
- Using an atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() on inode ref counter or mm ref counter:
It's also a cache line ping pong on SMP. It also increases mmap_sem hold time
because of cache misses.
Most of these scalability problems come from the fact that futexes are in
one global namespace. As we use a central hash table, we must make sure
they are all using the same reference (given by the mm subsystem). We
chose to force all futexes be 'shared'. This has a cost.
But fact is POSIX defined PRIVATE and SHARED, allowing clear separation,
and optimal performance if carefuly implemented. Time has come for linux
to have better threading performance.
The goal is to permit new futex commands to avoid :
- Taking the mmap_sem semaphore, conflicting with other subsystems.
- Modifying a ref_count on mm or an inode, still conflicting with mm or fs.
This is possible because, for one process using PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
futexes, we only need to distinguish futexes by their virtual address, no
matter the underlying mm storage is.
If glibc wants to exploit this new infrastructure, it should use new
_PRIVATE futex subcommands for PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes. And be
prepared to fallback on old subcommands for old kernels. Using one global
variable with the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG or 0 value should be OK.
PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED futexes should still use the old subcommands.
Compatibility with old applications is preserved, they still hit the
scalability problems, but new applications can fly :)
Note : the same SHARED futex (mapped on a file) can be used by old binaries
*and* new binaries, because both binaries will use the old subcommands.
Note : Vast majority of futexes should be using PROCESS_PRIVATE semantic,
as this is the default semantic. Almost all applications should benefit
of this changes (new kernel and updated libc)

This provides an optimization, already used for (normal) futexes, to be used

This optimization is currently used by the glibc in pthread_broadcast, when
using "normal" mutexes. With futex_requeue_pi, it can be used with

This patch modifies futex_wait() to use an hrtimer + schedule() in place of
schedule_timeout().
schedule_timeout() is tick based, therefore the timeout granularity is the
tick (1 ms, 4 ms or 10 ms depending on HZ). By using a high resolution timer
for timeout wakeup, we can attain a much finer timeout granularity (in the
microsecond range). This parallels what is already done for futex_lock_pi().
The timeout passed to the syscall is no longer converted to jiffies and is
therefore passed to do_futex() and futex_wait() as an absolute ktime_t
therefore keeping nanosecond resolution.
Also this removes the need to pass the nanoseconds timeout part to
futex_lock_pi() in val2.
In futex_wait(), if there is no timeout then a regular schedule() is
performed. Otherwise, an hrtimer is fired before schedule() is called.

When the kernel calls svc_reserve to downsize the expected size of an RPC
reply, it fails to account for the possibility of a checksum at the end of
the packet. If a client mounts a NFSv2/3 with sec=krb5i/p, and does I/O
then you'll generally see messages similar to this in the server's ring
buffer:
RPC request reserved 164 but used 208
While I was never able to verify it, I suspect that this problem is also
the root cause of some oopses I've seen under these conditions:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227726
This is probably also a problem for other sec= types and for NFSv4. The
large reserved size for NFSv4 compound packets seems to generally paper
over the problem, however.
This patch adds a wrapper for svc_reserve that accounts for the possibility
of a checksum. It also fixes up the appropriate callers of svc_reserve to
call the wrapper. For now, it just uses a hardcoded value that I
determined via testing. That value may need to be revised upward as things
change, or we may want to eventually add a new auth_op that attempts to
calculate this somehow.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a good way to reliably determine
the expected checksum length prior to actually calculating it, particularly
with schemes like spkm3.

Currently kernel threads use sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK) to protect against
signals. This doesn't prevent the signal delivery, this only blocks
signal_wake_up(). Every "killall -33 kthreadd" means a "struct siginfo"
leak.
Change kthreadd_setup() to set all handlers to SIG_IGN instead of blocking
them (make a new helper ignore_signals() for that). If the kernel thread
needs some signal, it should use allow_signal() anyway, and in that case it
should not use CLONE_SIGHAND.
Note that we can't change daemonize() (should die!) in the same way,
because it can be used along with CLONE_SIGHAND. This means that
allow_signal() still should unblock the signal to work correctly with
daemonize()ed threads.
However, disallow_signal() doesn't block the signal any longer but ignores
it.
NOTE: with or without this patch the kernel threads are not protected from
handle_stop_signal(), this seems harmless, but not good.

Currently there is a circular reference between work queue initialization
and kthread initialization. This prevents the kthread infrastructure from
initializing until after work queues have been initialized.
We want the properties of tasks created with kthread_create to be as close
as possible to the init_task and to not be contaminated by user processes.
The later we start our kthreadd that creates these tasks the harder it is
to avoid contamination from user processes and the more of a mess we have
to clean up because the defaults have changed on us.
So this patch modifies the kthread support to not use work queues but to
instead use a simple list of structures, and to have kthreadd start from
init_task immediately after our kernel thread that execs /sbin/init.
By being a true child of init_task we only have to change those process
settings that we want to have different from init_task, such as our process
name, the cpus that are allowed, blocking all signals and setting SIGCHLD
to SIG_IGN so that all of our children are reaped automatically.
By being a true child of init_task we also naturally get our ppid set to 0
and do not wind up as a child of PID == 1. Ensuring that tasks generated
by kthread_create will not slow down the functioning of the wait family of
functions.

This is an attempt to provide an alternate mechanism for postponing
a hotplug event instead of using a global mechanism like lock_cpu_hotplug.
The proposal is to add two new events namely CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and
CPU_LOCK_RELEASE. The notification for these two events would be sent
out before and after a cpu_hotplug event respectively.
During the CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE event, a cpu-hotplug-aware subsystem is
supposed to acquire any per-subsystem hotcpu mutex ( Eg. workqueue_mutex
in kernel/workqueue.c ).
During the CPU_LOCK_RELEASE release event the cpu-hotplug-aware subsystem
is supposed to release the per-subsystem hotcpu mutex.
The reasons for defining new events as opposed to reusing the existing events
like CPU_UP_PREPARE/CPU_UP_FAILED/CPU_ONLINE for locking/unlocking of
per-subsystem hotcpu mutexes are as follow:
- CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE: All hotcpu mutexes are taken before subsystems
start handling pre-hotplug events like CPU_UP_PREPARE/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
etc, thus ensuring a clean handling of these events.
- CPU_LOCK_RELEASE: The hotcpu mutexes will be released only after
all subsystems have handled post-hotplug events like CPU_DOWN_FAILED,
CPU_DEAD,CPU_ONLINE etc thereby ensuring that there are no subsequent
clashes amongst the interdependent subsystems after a cpu hotplugs.
This patch also uses __raw_notifier_call chain in _cpu_up to take care
of the dependency between the two consequetive calls to
raw_notifier_call_chain.

Since 2.6.18-something, the community has been bugged by the problem to
provide a clean and a stable mechanism to postpone a cpu-hotplug event as
lock_cpu_hotplug was badly broken.
This is another proposal towards solving that problem. This one is along the
lines of the solution provided in kernel/workqueue.c
Instead of having a global mechanism like lock_cpu_hotplug, we allow the
subsytems to define their own per-subsystem hot cpu mutexes. These would be
taken(released) where ever we are currently calling
lock_cpu_hotplug(unlock_cpu_hotplug).
Also, in the per-subsystem hotcpu callback function,we take this mutex before
we handle any pre-cpu-hotplug events and release it once we finish handling
the post-cpu-hotplug events. A standard means for doing this has been
provided in [PATCH 2/4] and demonstrated in [PATCH 3/4].
The ordering of these per-subsystem mutexes might still prove to be a
problem, but hopefully lockdep should help us get out of that muddle.
The patch set to be applied against linux-2.6.19-rc5 is as follows:
[PATCH 1/4] : Extend notifier_call_chain with an option to specify the
number of notifications to be sent and also count the
number of notifications actually sent.
[PATCH 2/4] : Define events CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and CPU_LOCK_RELEASE
and send out notifications for these in _cpu_up and
_cpu_down. This would help us standardise the acquire and
release of the subsystem locks in the hotcpu
callback functions of these subsystems.
[PATCH 3/4] : Eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from kernel/sched.c.
[PATCH 4/4] : In workqueue_cpu_callback function, acquire(release) the
workqueue_mutex while handling
CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE(CPU_LOCK_RELEASE).
If the per-subsystem-locking approach survives the test of time, we can expect
a slow phasing out of lock_cpu_hotplug, which has not yet been eliminated in
these patches :)
This patch:
Provide notifier_call_chain with an option to call only a specified number of
notifiers and also record the number of call to notifiers made.
The need for this enhancement was identified in the post entitled
"Slab - Eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from slab"
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/28/92) by Ravikiran G Thirumalai and
Andrew Morton.
This patch adds two additional parameters to notifier_call_chain API namely
- int nr_to_calls : Number of notifier_functions to be called.
The don't care value is -1.
- unsigned int *nr_calls : Records the total number of notifier_funtions
called by notifier_call_chain. The don't care
value is NULL.

A basic problem with flush_scheduled_work() is that it blocks behind _all_
presently-queued works, rather than just the work whcih the caller wants to
flush. If the caller holds some lock, and if one of the queued work happens
to want that lock as well then accidental deadlocks can occur.
One example of this is the phy layer: it wants to flush work while holding
rtnl_lock(). But if a linkwatch event happens to be queued, the phy code will
deadlock because the linkwatch callback function takes rtnl_lock.
So we implement a new function which will flush a *single* work - just the one
which the caller wants to free up. Thus we avoid the accidental deadlocks
which can arise from unrelated subsystems' callbacks taking shared locks.
flush_work() non-blockingly dequeues the work_struct which we want to kill,
then it waits for its handler to complete on all CPUs.
Add ->current_work to the "struct cpu_workqueue_struct", it points to
currently running "struct work_struct". When flush_work(work) detects
->current_work == work, it inserts a barrier at the _head_ of ->worklist
(and thus right _after_ that work) and waits for completition. This means
that the next work fired on that CPU will be this barrier, or another
barrier queued by concurrent flush_work(), so the caller of flush_work()
will be woken before any "regular" work has a chance to run.
When wait_on_work() unlocks workqueue_mutex (or whatever we choose to protect
against CPU hotplug), CPU may go away. But in that case take_over_work() will
move a barrier we queued to another CPU, it will be fired sometime, and
wait_on_work() will be woken.
Actually, we are doing cleanup_workqueue_thread()->kthread_stop() before
take_over_work(), so cwq->thread should complete its ->worklist (and thus
the barrier), because currently we don't check kthread_should_stop() in
run_workqueue(). But even if we did, everything should be ok.

Several drivers shared between AT91 and AVR32 chips use cpu_is_xxx()
to handle CPU-specific differences. Currently, such code needs to be
inside #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_AT91 because the macros don't exist on AVR32.
By defining the same macros on both AT91 and AVR32, these #ifdefs can
be eliminated. Since the macros will evaluate to a constant value for
CPUs that aren't supported by the current architecture, any code that
is only needed on AT91 will be optimized away on AVR32 and vice versa.

With the advent of kdump, the assumption that the boot CPU when booting an UP
kernel is always the CPU with a particular hardware ID (often 0) (usually
referred to as BSP on some architectures) is not valid anymore. The reason
being that the dump capture kernel boots on the crashed CPU (the CPU that
invoked crash_kexec), which may be or may not be that particular CPU.
Move definition of hard_smp_processor_id for the UP case to
architecture-specific code ("asm/smp.h") where it belongs, so that each
architecture can provide its own implementation.

The basic issue is to be able to do what hugetlbfs does but with
different page sizes for some other special filesystems; more
specifically, my need is:
- Huge pages
- SPE local store mappings using 64K pages on a 4K base page size
kernel on Cell
- Some special 4K segments in 64K-page kernels for mapping a dodgy
type of powerpc-specific infiniband hardware that requires 4K MMU
mappings for various reasons I won't explain here.
The main issues are:
- To maintain/keep track of the page size per "segment" (as we can
only have one page size per segment on powerpc, which are 256MB
divisions of the address space).
- To make sure special mappings stay within their allotted
"segments" (including MAP_FIXED crap)
- To make sure everybody else doesn't mmap/brk/grow_stack into a
"segment" that is used for a special mapping
Some of the necessary mechanisms to handle that were present in the
hugetlbfs code, but mostly in ways not suitable for anything else.
The patch relies on some changes to the generic get_unmapped_area()
that just got merged. It still hijacks hugetlb callbacks here or
there as the generic code hasn't been entirely cleaned up yet but
that shouldn't be a problem.
So what is a slice ? Well, I re-used the mechanism used formerly by our
hugetlbfs implementation which divides the address space in
"meta-segments" which I called "slices". The division is done using
256MB slices below 4G, and 1T slices above. Thus the address space is
divided currently into 16 "low" slices and 16 "high" slices. (Special
case: high slice 0 is the area between 4G and 1T).
Doing so simplifies significantly the tracking of segments and avoids
having to keep track of all the 256MB segments in the address space.
While I used the "concepts" of hugetlbfs, I mostly re-implemented
everything in a more generic way and "ported" hugetlbfs to it.
Slices can have an associated page size, which is encoded in the mmu
context and used by the SLB miss handler to set the segment sizes. The
hash code currently doesn't care, it has a specific check for hugepages,
though I might add a mechanism to provide per-slice hash mapping
functions in the future.
The slice code provide a pair of "generic" get_unmapped_area() (bottomup
and topdown) functions that should work with any slice size. There is
some trickiness here so I would appreciate people to have a look at the
implementation of these and let me know if I got something wrong.

When memory pinned with ib_umem_get() is released, ib_umem_release()
needs to subtract the amount of memory being unpinned from
mm->locked_vm. However, ib_umem_release() may be called with
mm->mmap_sem already held for writing if the memory is being released
as part of an munmap() call, so it is sometimes necessary to defer
this accounting into a workqueue.
However, the work struct used to defer this accounting is dynamically
allocated before it is queued, so there is the possibility of failing
that allocation. If the allocation fails, then ib_umem_release has no
choice except to bail out and leave the process with a permanently
elevated locked_vm.
Fix this by allocating the structure to defer accounting as part of
the original struct ib_umem, so there's no possibility of failing a
later allocation if creating the struct ib_umem and pinning memory
succeeds.

Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in
control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace,
rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the
low-level driver's reg_user_mr method.
Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of
ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on
ib_uverbs.
This has a number of advantages:
- It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a
library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as
the details of specific devices dictate.
- Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not
need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get(). For
example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch,
the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just
use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions.
- Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by
the low-level driver. For example, it may be possible to solve
some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in
userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags.
- Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things
other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead
of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method. For
example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin
and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a
memory key for these buffers. So the cleanest solution is for mlx4
to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods.

The idea is to move more and more things into the pbm,
with the eventual goal of eliminating the pci_controller_info
entirely as there really isn't any need for it.
This stage of the transformations requires some reworking of
the PCI error interrupt handling.
It might be tricky to get rid of the pci_controller_info parenting for
a few reasons:
1) When we get an uncorrectable or correctable error we want
to interrogate the IOMMU and streaming cache of both
PBMs for error status. These errors come from the UPA
front-end which is shared between the two PBM PCI bus
segments.
Historically speaking this is why I choose the datastructure
hierarchy of pci_controller_info-->pci_pbm_info
2) The probing does a portid/devhandle match to look for the
'other' pbm, but this is entirely an artifact and can be
eliminated trivially.
What we could do to solve #1 is to have a "buddy" pointer from one pbm
to another.

Close a hole in the ASID version switch, particularly the following
scenario:
CPU0 MM PID CPU1 MM PID
idle
A pid(A)
A idle(lazy tlb)
* new asid version triggered by B *
B pid(B)
A pid(A)
* MM A gets new asid version *
A idle(lazy tlb)
A pid(A)
* CPU1 doesn't see the new ASID *
The result is that CPU1 continues running with the hardware set
for the original (stale) ASID value, but mm->context.id contains
the new ASID value. The result is that the next MM fault on CPU1
updates the page table entries, but flush_tlb_page() fails due to
wrong ASID.
There is a related case with a threaded application is allocated
a new ASID on one CPU while another of its threads is running on
some different CPU. This scenario is not fixed by this commit.

Check if the mode can properly display the screen. This will be needed by

fb_set_var() will query fbcon the requirement, then it will query the driver
(via a new hook fb_get_caps()) its capability. If the driver's capability
cannot handle fbcon's requirement, then fb_set_var() will fail.
For example, if a particular driver supports 2 modes where:
mode1 = can only display 8x16 bitmaps

then if current mode = mode2 and current font = 12x22

Make x86 COM ports into platform devices and don't probe for them
if we have PNP.
This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by
the legacy probe and by 8250_pnp, e.g.,
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
This also means IRDA devices without a UART PNP ID will no longer be
claimed by the serial driver, which might require changes in IRDA
drivers and administration.
In addition to this patch, you may need to configure a setserial init
script, e.g., /etc/init.d/setserial, so it doesn't poke legacy UART
stuff back in. On Debian, "dpkg-reconfigure setserial" with the "kernel"
option does this.
To force the old legacy probe behavior even when we have PNPBIOS or
ACPI, load the new legacy_serial module (or build 8250 static) with
the "legacy_serial.force" option.

This series converts i386 and x86_64 legacy serial ports to be platform
devices and prevents probing for them if we have PNP.
This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by the legacy
probe and by 8250_pnp.
This also prevents the serial driver from claiming IRDA devices (unless they
have a UART PNP ID). The serial legacy probe sometimes assumed the wrong IRQ,
so the user had to use "setserial" to fix it.
Removing the need for setserial to make IRDA devices work seems good, but it
does break some things. In particular, you may need to keep setserial from
poking legacy UART stuff back in by doing something like "dpkg-reconfigure
setserial" with the "kernel" option. Otherwise, the setserial-discovered
"UART" will claim resources and prevent the IRDA driver from loading.
This patch:
If we can discover devices using PNP, we can skip some legacy probes. This
flag ("pnp_platform_devices") indicates that PNPBIOS or PNPACPI is enabled and
should tell us about builtin devices.

irqpoll is broken on some architectures that don't use the IRQ 0 for the timer
interrupt like IA64. This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag.
Each architecture is handled in a separate pach. As I left the irq == 0 as
condition, this should not break existing architectures that use timer_irq ==
0 and that I did't address with that patch (because I don't know).
This patch:
This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag that the interrupt registration code could
use for the interrupt it wants to use for IRQ polling.
Because this must not be the timer interrupt, an additional flag was added
instead of re-using the IRQF_TIMER constant. Until all architectures will
have an IRQF_IRQPOLL interrupt, irq == 0 will stay as alternative as it should
not break anything.
Also, note_interrupt() is called on CPU-specific interrupts to be used as
interrupt source for IRQ polling.

i386:
Rearrange the cmpxchg code to allow atomic.h to get it without needing to
include system.h. This kills warnings in the UML build from atomic.h about
implicit declarations of cmpxchg symbols. The i386 build presumably isn't
seeing this because a separate inclusion of system.h is covering it over.
The cmpxchg stuff is moved to asm-i386/cmpxchg.h, with an include left in
system.h for the benefit of generic code which expects cmpxchg there.
Meanwhile, atomic.h includes cmpxchg.h.
This causes no noticable damage to the i386 build.
x86_64:
Move cmpxchg into its own header. atomic.h already included system.h, so
this is changed to include cmpxchg.h.
This is purely cleanup - it's not fixing any warnings - so if the x86_64
system.h isn't considered as cleanup-worthy as i386, then this can be
dropped.
It causes no noticable damage to the x86_64 build.

The i386 and x86_64 cmpxchg patches require an asm-um/cmpxchg.h for the

atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error
prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes
the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions,
probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and
atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes
sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking.
