percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

All of the SH clocksource drivers follow the scheme that the IRQ is setup
prior to registering the clockevent. The interrupt handler in the
clockevent cases looks to the event handler function pointer being filled
in by the registration code, permitting us to get in to situations where
asserted IRQs step in to the handler before registration has had a chance
to complete and hitting a NULL pointer deref.
In practice this is not an issue for most platforms, but some of them
with fairly special loaders (or that are chain-loading from another
kernel) may enter in to this situation. This fixes up the oops reported
by Rafael on hp6xx.

geode-mfgpt: restore previous behavior for selecting IRQ
The MFGPT IRQ used to be, in order of decreasing priority,
* IRQ supplied by the user as a boot-time parameter,
* IRQ previously set by the BIOS or another driver,
* default IRQ given at compile time.
Return to this behavior, which got broken when splitting the
MFGPT/clocksource driver for 2.6.33-rc1.

Add code to start the CMT timer on clocksource resume. While at it handle
the suspend case as well. Remove the platform device specific suspend
calls.
This makes sure the timer is started during sysdev_resume(). Without this
patch the clocksource may be read as suspended, this after sysdev resume
but before platform device resume.

This is based on the old code in arch/x86/kernel/mfgpt_32.c, but is
modular and not Geode-specific. There's no reason why the clock event
device needs to be registered so early at boot; the clockevent code is
perfectly capable of dynamic switching.

PIT_TICK_RATE is currently defined in four architectures, but in three
different places. While linux/timex.h is not the perfect place for it, it
is still a reasonable replacement for those drivers that traditionally use
asm/timex.h to get CLOCK_TICK_RATE and expect it to be the PIT frequency.
Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to 1193180UL.
This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably can only improve
accuracy. There was a discussion on the correct value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE
a few years ago, after which every existing instance was getting changed
to 1193182. According to the specification, it should be
1193181.818181...

This patch moves the SuperH timer setup code from time_init()
to late_time_init(). Good things about this change:
- interrupts: they are enabled at late_time_init()
- mm: regular kmalloc() can be used at late_time_init()
Together with moving to late_time_init() this patch changes
the sh_cmt driver to always allocate with kmalloc(). This
simplifies the code a bit and also fixes section mismatches.

SuperH CMT clockevent driver.
Both 16-bit and 32-bit CMT versions are supported, but only 32-bit
is tested. This driver contains support for both clockevents and
clocksources, but no unregistration is supported at this point.
Works fine as clock source and/or event in periodic or oneshot mode.
Tested on sh7722 and sh7723, but should work with any cpu/architecture.
This version is lacking clocksource and early platform driver support
for now - this to minimize the amount of dependencies.

On all hardware (some Intel ICH4, PIIX4 and PIIX4E chipsets) affected by a
hardware errata there's about a 4.2% chance that initialization of the
ACPI PMTMR fails. On those chipsets, we need to read out the timer value
at least three times to get a correct result, for every once in a while
(i.e. within a 3 ns window every 69.8 ns) the read returns a bogus
result. During normal operation we work around this issue, but during
initialization reading a bogus value may lead to -EINVAL even though the
hardware is usable.

Clocksource and clockevent device based on the Atmel TC blocks.
The clockevent device handles both periodic and oneshot modes, so this
enables NO_HZ and high res timers on some platforms that previously
couldn't use those mechanisms.
This works on both AVR32 and AT91 chips, given relevant patches for
tclib support (always) and clockevents (or else this will only look
like a higher precision clocksource). It's an updated and modularized
version of an AT91-only patch that has circulated for some time now.
Changes relative to the original patch:
* Update to use new tclib API
* Replace open-coded do-while loop using goto with a real do-while loop
* Minor irq handler optimization: Load register base address from
dev_id instead of a global variable.
* Aggressively turn off clocks when the clockevent isn't being used
* Include the clockevent code on AT91RM9200 as well. The rating is
lower than the System Timer, so the clock will usually stay off.
* Don't assume that the number of clocks is always equal to the
number of irqs.

Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision
ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member.
This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword
for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the
read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all.
In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what
appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code
and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance.
Compile tested with make all{yes,mod}config on x86_64 and i386.

On Bob's machine clocksource is selecting PIT over the ACPI PM timer,
because he has the PIIX4 bug. That bug drops the ACPI PM timers rating
to the same as the PIT, so that's why you're getting the PIT.
Realistically, the PIT is much slower then even the triple read ACPI PM,
so the de-ranking code is probably dropping it too far.
So don't drop ACPI PM quite so low if we see the PIIX4 bug.

This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426
The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.
It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.
Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).
This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

Allow early access to the power management timer by exposing the verified read
function and providing a helper function which checks the pmtmr_ioport
variable and returns either the pm timer readout or 0 in case the pm timer is
not available.
Create a new header file and replace also the ifdef'ed extern definition in
arch/i386/kernel/acpi/boot.c
This is a preperatory patch for the rework of the local apic timer
calibration.
No functional changes.
