ARM: 6617/1: mmc, Add zboot from MMC support for SuperH Mobile ARM
This allows a ROM-able zImage to be written to MMC and
for SuperH Mobile ARM to boot directly from the MMCIF
hardware block.
This is achieved by the MaskROM loading the first portion
of the image into MERAM and then jumping to it. This portion
contains loader code which copies the entire image to SDRAM
and jumps to it. From there the zImage boot code proceeds
as normal, uncompressing the image into its final location
and then jumping to it.

Russell, please consider merging this for 2.6.38.
This patch depends on:
* "mmc, sh: Move MMCIF_PROGRESS_* into sh_mmcif.h"
which will be merged though Paul Mundt's rmobile sh-2.6.
The absence of this patch will break the build if
the (new) CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF option is set.
There are no subtle side-effects.
v2:
Addressed comments by Magnus Damm
* Fix copyright in vrl4.c
* Fix use of #define CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF in mmcif-sh7372.c
* Initialise LED GPIO lines in head-ap4evb.txt instead of mmcif-sh7372.c
as this is considered board-specific.
v3:
Addressed comments made in person by Magnus Damm
* Move mmcif_loader to be earlier in the image and
reduce the number of blocks of boot program loaded by the MaskRom
from 40 to 8 accordingly.
* Move LED GPIO initialisation into mmcif_progress_init
- This leaves the partner jet script unbloated
Other
* inline mmcif_update_progress so it is a static inline in a header file
v4:
* Use htole16() and htole32() in v4rl.c to ensure
that the output is little endian
v5:
Addressed comments by Russell King
* Simplify assembly code
* Jump to code rather than an address <- bug fix
* Use (void __iomem *) as appropriate
Roll in mackerel support

Although the last_pfn obtained from the startup info is 0x26700, which
should in turn not be hit, the additional 8MB which are added as extra
memory normally seem to be ok. This lead to looking into the initial
p2m tree construction, which uses the smaller value and assuming that
there is other code handling the extra memory.
When the p2m tree is set up, the leaves are directly pointed to the
array which the domain builder set up. But if the mapping is not on a
boundary that fits into one p2m page, this will result in the last leaf
being only partially valid. And as the invalid entries are not
initialized in that case, things go badly wrong.
I am trying to fix that by checking whether the current leaf is a
complete map and if not, allocate a completely new page and copy only
the valid pointers there. This may not be the most efficient or elegant
solution, but at least it seems to allow me booting DomUs with memory
assignments all over the range.

kernel/smp.c: consolidate writes in smp_call_function_interrupt()
We have to test the cpu mask in the interrupt handler before checking the
refs, otherwise we can start to follow an entry before its deleted and
find it partially initailzed for the next trip. Presently we also clear
the cpumask bit before executing the called function, which implies
getting write access to the line. After the function is called we then
decrement refs, and if they go to zero we then unlock the structure.
However, this implies getting write access to the call function data
before and after another the function is called. If we can assert that no
smp_call_function execution function is allowed to enable interrupts, then
we can move both writes to after the function is called, hopfully allowing
both writes with one cache line bounce.
On a 256 thread system with a kernel compiled for 1024 threads, the time
to execute testcase in the "smp_call_function_many race" changelog was
reduced by about 30-40ms out of about 545 ms.
I decided to keep this as WARN because its now a buggy function, even
though the stack trace is of no value -- a simple printk would give us the
information needed.

We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the
number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0. How can this be?
It turns out commit 54fdade1c3332391948ec43530c02c4794a38172
("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault. It
removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a
rather complicated race.
The problem comes about because:
- The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue
without any locking.
- We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many.
- We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next
smp_call_function_many.
Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back,
and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between. We concentrate on how CPU
C handles the calls:
CPU A CPU B CPU C CPU D
smp_call_function
smp_call_function_interrupt
walks
call_function.queue sees
data from CPU A on list
smp_call_function
smp_call_function_interrupt
walks
call_function.queue sees
(stale) CPU A on list
smp_call_function int
clears last ref on A
list_del_rcu, unlock
smp_call_function reuses
percpu *data A
data->cpumask sees and
clears bit in cpumask
might be using old or new fn!
decrements refs below 0
set data->refs (too late!)
The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a
potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another
cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner
is in the process of initialising it.

I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and
->refs. In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able
to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous
iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then
->refs _again_.
Thanks to Milton Miller and Paul McKenney for helping to debug this issue.
[miltonm@bga.com: add WARN_ON and BUG_ON, remove extra read of refs before initial read of mask that doesn't help (also noted by Peter Zijlstra), adjust comments, hopefully clarify scenario ]

memcg: correctly order reading PCG_USED and pc->mem_cgroup
The placement of the read-side barrier is confused: the writer first
sets pc->mem_cgroup, then PCG_USED. The read-side barrier has to be
between testing PCG_USED and reading pc->mem_cgroup.

mm: fix truncate_setsize() comment
Contrary to what the comment says, truncate_setsize() should be called
