The ARM __kuser_cmpxchg routine is meant to implement an atomic cmpxchg
in user space. It however can produce spurious false negative if a
processor exception occurs in the middle of the operation. Normally
this is not a problem since cmpxchg is typically called in a loop until
it succeeds to implement an atomic increment for example.
Some use cases which don't involve a loop require that the operation be
100% reliable though. This patch changes the implementation so to
reattempt the operation after an exception has occurred in the critical
section rather than abort it.
Here's a simple program to test the fix (don't use CONFIG_NO_HZ in your
kernel as this depends on a sufficiently high interrupt rate):
#include <stdio.h>
typedef int (__kernel_cmpxchg_t)(int oldval, int newval, int *ptr);
#define __kernel_cmpxchg (*(__kernel_cmpxchg_t *)0xffff0fc0)
int main()
{
int i, x = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) {
int v = x;
if (__kernel_cmpxchg(v, v+1, &x))
printf("failed at %d: %d vs %d\n", i, v, x);
}
printf("done with %d vs %d\n", i, x);
return 0;
}

This patch resolves a kexec boot failure that can occur because
no ATAGs are passed in to the kexec'd kernel. Currently the
newly-kexec'd kernel may fail if it requires specific ATAGs, or
it may fail because the fixed memory location at which it expects
to find the ATAGs may contain random data instead of ATAGs.
The patch ensures that any ATAGs passed to the current kernel
at boot time are copied to a static buffer, and are copied back
when kexec copies the new kernel into place. Thus the new
kernel sees the same ATAGs from kexec and the boot loader.
The boot parameters are copied without regard to type, content,
or length -- this patch's scope is limited soley to saving and
restoring a fixed-size block of memory containing the kernel's
boot parameters. Additional functionality to examine, alter, or
replace the ATAGs (using kexec, for example) can be implemented
by manipulating the static buffer containing the preserved ATAGs.
Note: the size of the buffer (1.5KB) is selected to comfortably
hold one of each ATAG type, including a maximum-length command
line and the maximum number of ATAG_MEM structures currently
supported by the kernel. Should an ATAG list exceed that limit,
the list will be silently truncated to that limit (to do other-
wise at that point in the boot process would make a simple
problem exceedingly complicated).
[Note: this is the same patch as 4579, modified to accomodate
the ATAG changes introduced in 2.6.23]

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't
normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
the final argument on some architectures.
Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from
bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
sys_sync_file_range2() instead.

declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.
