4e8b0cf46b powerpc/pseries: Add support for dynamic dma windows
If firmware allows us to map all of a partition's memory for DMA on a
particular bridge, create a 1:1 mapping of that memory. Add hooks for
dealing with hotplug events. Dynamic DMA windows can use larger than the
default page size, and we use the largest one possible.

299c56966a x86: Use u32 instead of long to set reset vector back to 0
A customer of ours, complained that when setting the reset
vector back to 0, it trashed other data and hung their box.
They noticed when only 4 bytes were set to 0 instead of 8,
everything worked correctly.

Mathew pointed out:

 |
 | We're supposed to be resetting trampoline_phys_low and
 | trampoline_phys_high here, which are two 16-bit values.
 | Writing 64 bits is definitely going to overwrite space
 | that we're not supposed to be touching.
 |

So limit the area modified to u32.

51c404b2c5 omap4: prcm: Fix the CPUx clockdomain offsets
CPU0 and CPU1 clockdomain is at the offset of 0x18 from the LPRM base.
The header file has set it wrongly to 0x0. Offset 0x0 is for CPUx power
domain control register

Fix the same.

The autogen scripts is fixed thanks to Benoit Cousson

With the old value, the clockdomain code would access the
*_PWRSTCTRL.POWERSTATE field when it thought it was accessing the
*_CLKSTCTRL.CLKTRCTRL field.  In the worst case, this could cause
system power management to behave incorrectly.

cbc9438075 OMAP2+: clocksource: fix crash on boot when !CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER
OMAP2+ kernels built without CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER crash on boot after the

[    0.000000] PC is at 0x0
[    0.000000] LR is at sched_clock_poll+0x2c/0x3c

Without CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER, the kernel has an clockevent and
clocksource resolution about three orders of magnitude higher than
with CONFIG_OMAP_32K_TIMER set.  The tradeoff is that the lowest
power consumption states are not available.

Fix by calling init_sched_clock() from the GPTIMER clocksource init code.

On some SB800 systems polarity for IOAPIC pin2 is wrongly

resume from S3 when HPET was used in one-shot mode on such

ea68c00e26 OMAP2/3: clock: fix fint calculation for DPLL_FREQSEL
In OMAP35X TRM Rev 2010-05 Figure 7-18 "DPLL With EMI Reduction
Feature", it is shown that the internal frequency is calculated by
CLK_IN/(N+1). However, the value passed to _dpll_test_fint() is
already "N+1" since Linux is using the values to divide by. In the
technical reference manual, "N" is referring to the divider's register
value (0-127).

During power management testing, it was observed that programming the
wrong jitter correction value can cause the system to become unstable
and eventually crash.

06824ba824 ARM: tlb: delay page freeing for SMP and ARMv7 CPUs
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.

53399053eb ARM: Ensure predictable endian state on signal handler entry
Ensure a predictable endian state when entering signal handlers.  This
avoids programs which use SETEND to momentarily switch their endian
state from having their signal handlers entered with an unpredictable
endian state.

dc810efb0c ARM: 6740/1: Place correctly notes section in the linker script
Commit 18991197b4 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 1e621a8e37 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:
  [11] .data             PROGBITS        c07ce000 7ce000 020fc0 00  WA  0   0 32
  [12] .notes            NOTE            c07eefc0 7eefc0 000024 00  AX  0   0  4
  [13] .bss              NOBITS          c07ef000 7eefe4 01e628 00  WA  0   0 32
Program Headers:
  LOAD           0x008000 0xc0008000 0xc0008000 0x7e6fe4 0x805628 RWE 0x8000
  NOTE           0x7eefc0 0xc07eefc0 0xc07eefc0 0x00024 0x00024 R E 0x4
Section to Segment mapping:
  Segment Sections...
   00     <...> .data .notes .bss
   01     .notes

and to get it exposed as /sys/kernel/notes used by perf tools.
