Now that Christoph Lameter's atomic_long_t support is merged in mainline,
might as well convert asm-generic/local.h to use it, so the same code can
be used for both sizes of 32 and 64-bit unsigned longs.
akpm sayeth:
Q:
Is there any particular reason why these routines weren't simply
implemented with local_save/restore_flags, if they are only meant to
guarantee atomicity to the local cpu? I'm sure on most platforms this
would be more efficient than using an atomic...
A:
The whole _point_ of local_t is to avoid local_irq_disable(). It's
designed to exploit the fact that many CPUs can do incs and decs in a way
which is atomic wrt local interrupts, but not atomic wrt SMP.
But this patch makes sense, because asm-generic/local.h is just a fallback
implementation for architectures which either cannot perform these
local-irq-atomic operations, or its maintainers haven't yet got around to
implementing them.
We need more work done on local_t in the 2.6.17 timeframe - they're defined as
unsigned long, but some architectures implement them as signed long.

Reading the CMOS clock on x86 and some other arches currently takes up to one
second because it synchronizes with the CMOS second tick-over. This delay
shows up at boot time as well a resume time.
This is the currently the most substantial boot time delay for machines that
are working towards instant-on capability. Also, a quick back of the envelope
calculation (.5sec * 2M users * 1 boot a day * 10 years) suggests it has cost
Linux users in the neighborhood of a million man-hours.
An earlier thread on this topic is here:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/8a24255215ff6151/2aa97e66a977653d?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D1To2R-2S7-11%40gated-at.bofh.it#2aa97e66a977653d
..from which the consensus seems to be that it's no longer desirable.
In my view, there are basically four cases to consider:
1) networked, need precise walltime: use NTP
2) networked, don't need precise walltime: use NTP anyway
3) not networked, don't need sub-second precision walltime: don't care
4) not networked, need sub-second precision walltime:
get a network or a radio time source because RTC isn't good enough anyway
So this patch series simply removes the synchronization in favor of a simple
seqlock-like approach using the seconds value.
Note that for purposes of timer accuracy on wakeup, this patch will cause us
to fire timers up to one second late. But as the current timer resume code
will already sync once (or more!), it's no worse for short timers.

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.
We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

Detect whether a given process is seeky and if so disable (mostly) the
idle window if it is. We still allow just a little idle time, just enough
to allow that process to submit a new request. That is needed to maintain
fairness across priority groups.
In some cases, we could setup several async queues. This is not optimal
from a performance POV, since we want all async io in one queue to perform
good sorting on it. It also impacted sync queues, as async io got too much
slice time.

this is a small optimization to cfq_choose_req() in the CFQ I/O scheduler
(this function is a semi-often invoked candidate in an oprofile log):
by using a bit mask variable, we can use a simple switch() to check
the various cases instead of having to query two variables for each check.
Benefit: 251 vs. 285 bytes footprint of cfq_choose_req().
Also, common case 0 (no request wrapping) is now checked first in code.

A bug in the RTAS services incorrectly interprets some bits in the CR
when called from the OS. Specifically, bits in CR4. The result could
be a firmware crash that also takes down the partition. A firmware
fix is in the works. We have seen this situation when performing DLPAR
operations. As a temporary workaround, clear the CR in enter_rtas().
Note that enter_rtas() will not set any bits in CR4 before calling RTAS.
Also note that the 32 bit version of enter_rtas() should have the same
work around even though the chances of hitting the bug are much smaller
due to the lack of DLPAR on 32 bit kernels. However, my assembly skills
are a bit rusty and the 32 bit code doesn't seem to follow the conventions
for where things should be saved. In addition, I don't have a system
to test 32 bit kernels. Help creating and at least touch testing the
same workaround for 32 bit would be appreciated.
