The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when
the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
running processes.
There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives
us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.
The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to
know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when
the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
The following patch adds the event definition and trace instrumentation
for interrupt vectors. For x86, a lookup table is provided to print out
readable IRQ vector names. The template can be used to provide interrupt
vector lookup tables on other architectures.

This new driver replaces the old PCEngines Alix 2/3 LED driver with a new
driver that controls the LEDs through the leds-gpio driver. The old
driver accessed GPIOs directly, which created a conflict and prevented
also loading the cs5535-gpio driver to read other GPIOs on the Alix board.
With this new driver, we hook into leds-gpio which in turn uses GPIO to
control the LEDs and therefore it's possible to control both the LEDs and
access onboard GPIOs
Driver is moved to platform/geode and any other geode initialisation
modules should move here also.
This driver is inspired by leds-net5501.c by Alessandro Zummo.
Ideally, leds-net5501.c should also be moved to platform/geode.
Additionally the driver relies on parts of the patch: 7f131cf3ed ("leds:
leds-alix2c - take port address from MSR) by Daniel Mack to perform
detection of the Alix board.

On x86_32 casting the unsigned int result of get_random_int() to long may
result in a negative value. On x86_32 the range of mmap_rnd() therefore
was -255 to 255. The 32bit mode on x86_64 used 0 to 255 as intended.
The bug was introduced by 675a081 ("x86: unify mmap_{32|64}.c") in January
2008.

This makes the iris driver use the platform API, so it is properly exposed
in /sys.

Since the commit below which added O_PATH support to the *at() calls, the
error return for readlink/readlinkat for the empty pathname has switched
from ENOENT to EINVAL:
readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames
This is both unexpected for userspace and makes readlink/readlinkat
inconsistant with all other interfaces; and inconsistant with our stated
return for these pathnames.
As the readlinkat call does not have a flags parameter we cannot use the
AT_EMPTY_PATH approach used in the other calls. Therefore expose whether
the original path is infact entry via a new user_path_at_empty() path
lookup function. Use this to determine whether to default to EINVAL or
ENOENT for failures.

The parameter's origin type is long. On an i386 architecture, it can
easily be larger than 0x80000000, causing this function to convert it to a
sign-extended u64 type. Change the type to unsigned long so we get the
correct result.
