Several implementations were essentialy a common piece of C code using
the cmpxchg() macro. Put the implementation in one spot that everyone
can share, and convert sparc64 over to using this.
Alpha is the lone arch-specific implementation, which codes up a
special fast path for the common case in order to avoid GP reloading
which a pure C version would require.

Commit 66759a01ad introduced the fix for
time ticking too fast on some boards by disabling one of the doubly
connected timer pins on ATI boards.
However, it ends up being _much_ too broad a brush, and that just makes
some other ATI boards not work at all since they now have no timer
source.
So disable the automatic ATI southbridge detection, and just rely on
people who see this problem disabling it by hand with the option
"disable_timer_pin_1" on the kernel command line.
Maybe somebody can figure out the proper tests at a later date.

Masked FPU exceptions should obviously not happen in the first place,
but if they do, ignoring them seems to be the right thing to do.
Although there is no documentation available for Cyrix MII, I did find
erratum F-7 for Winchip C6, "FPU instruction may result in spurious
exception under certain conditions" which seems to indicate that this
can happen.
That would also explain the behaviour Ondrej Zary reported on the MII.

Inside the linker script, insert the code for DWARF debug info sections. This
may help GDB'ing a Uml binary. Actually, it seems that ld is able to guess
what I added correctly, but normal linker scripts include this section so it
should be correct anyway adding it.
On request by Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>, I've added it to
asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.s. I've also moved there the stabs debug section,
used the new macro in i386 linker script and added DWARF debug section to
that.
In the truth, I've not been able to verify the difference in GDB behaviour
after this change (I've seen large improvements with another patch). This
may depend on my binutils version, older one may have worse defaults.
However, this section is present in normal linker script, so add it at
least for the sake of cleanness.

This fixes the problem with "Averatec 6240 pcmcia_socket0: unable to
apply power", which was due to the CardBus IOMEM register region being
allocated at an address that was actually inside the RAM window that had
been reserved for video frame-buffers in an UMA setup.
The BIOS _should_ have marked that region reserved in the e820 memory
descriptor tables, but did not.
It is fixed by rounding up the default starting address of PCI memory
allocations, so that we leave a bigger gap after the final known memory
location. The amount of rounding depends on how big the unused memory
gap is that we can allocate IOMEM from.
Based on example code by Linus.

This patch fixes a bug in kprobes's handling of a corner case on i386 and
x86_64. On an SMP system, if one CPU unregisters a kprobe just after
another CPU hits that probepoint, kprobe_handler() on the latter CPU sees
that the kprobe has been unregistered, and attempts to let the CPU continue
as if the probepoint hadn't been hit. The bug is that on i386 and x86_64,
we were neglecting to set the IP back to the beginning of the probed
instruction. This could cause an oops or crash.
This bug doesn't exist on ppc64 and ia64, where a breakpoint instruction
leaves the IP pointing to the beginning of the instruction. I don't know
about sparc64. (Dave, could you please advise?)
This fix has been tested on i386 and x86_64 SMP systems. To reproduce the
problem, set one CPU to work registering and unregistering a kprobe
repeatedly, and another CPU pounding the probepoint in a tight loop.

Background:
1) dmi_check_system() returns the count of the number of
matches. Zero thus means no matches.
2) A match callback can return nonzero to stop the match
checking.
Bug: The count is incremented after we check for the nonzero return value,
so it does not reflect the actual count. We could say this is intended,
for some dumb reason, except that it means that a match on the first check
returns zero--no matches--if the callback returns nonzero.
Attached patch implements the count before calling the callback and thus
before potentially short-circuiting.

The i386 OProfile code has a function named nmi_exit(), which collides with
the nmi_exit() macro in linux/hardirq.h. At the moment, we get away with
it, because hardirq.h isn't included in the oprofile code. I hit this as a
bug when working with a patch which (indirectly) adds a #include of
hardirq.h to oprofile.
Regardless, the name collision is probably not a good idea, so this patch
fixes it, renaming the oprofile function to op_nmi_exit(). It also renames
the nmi_init() and nmi_timer_init() functions similarly, for consistency.

This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP.
When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run
once per second. If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a
callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a
warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident). The feature
is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it
only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by
the lockup.

When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte
entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause
chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts.
CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the
interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well.
Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing.
- Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for
lack of a generic name.
- added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64
- Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq
handling time.
- Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead
it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set.
- Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating
when using generic irq framework.
Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off.
Tested UP builds as well.

This is simply an adjustment for "Ptrace - i386: fix Syscall Audit interaction
with singlestep" to work on top of SYSEMU patches, too. On this patch, I have
some doubts: I wonder why we need to alter that way ptrace_disable().
I left the patch this way because it has been extensively tested, but I don't
understand the reason.
The current PTRACE_DETACH handling simply clears child->ptrace; actually this
is not enough because entry.S just looks at the thread_flags; actually,
do_syscall_trace checks current->ptrace but I don't think depending on that is
good, at least for performance, so I think the clearing is done elsewhere.
For instance, on PTRACE_CONT it's done, but doing PTRACE_DETACH without
PTRACE_CONT is possible (and happens when gdb crashes and one kills it
manually).
