David Howells 2f2a2132ff Separate out the proc- and unit-specific header directories from the general
MN10300 arch headers and place them instead in the same directories as contain
the .c files for the processor and unit implementations.

This permits the symlinks include/asm/proc and include/asm/unit to be
dispensed with.  This does, however, require that #include <asm/proc/xxx.h> be
converted to #include <proc/xxx.h> and similarly for asm/unit -> unit.

Mike Travis d2287f5ebe irq: update all arches for new irq_desc, fix
Impact: fix build errors

Since the SPARSE IRQS changes redefined how the kstat irqs are
organized, arch's must use the new accessor function:

	kstat_incr_irqs_this_cpu(irq, DESC);

If CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS is set, then DESC is a pointer to the
irq_desc which has a pointer to the kstat_irqs.  If not, then
the .irqs field of struct kernel_stat is used instead.

Akira Takeuchi a8893fb3e6 MN10300: Discard low-priority Tx interrupts when closing an on-chip serial port
Discard low-prioriy Tx interrupts when closing an MN10300 on-chip serial port.

The MN10300 on-chip serial port uses three interrupts to manage its serial
ports:

 (1) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Rx.

 (2) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Tx.

 (3) A normal priority virtual interrupt that does the normal UART interrupt
     stuff and is shared between Rx and Tx.

mn10300_serial_stop_tx() only disables the high priority Tx interrupt.  It
doesn't also disable the normal priority one because it is shared with Rx.

However, the high priority interrupt may interrupt local_irq_disabled()
sections, and so may have queued up a low priority virtual interrupt whilst the
UART driver is asking for the Tx interrupt to be disabled.

The result of this can be an oops when we try to process the interrupt in
mn10300_serial_transmit_interrupt() as port->uart.info and port->uart.info->tty
may have gone away.

To deal with this, if either of those pointers is NULL, we make sure the
high-priority Tx interrupt is disabled and discard the interrupt.  The low
priority interrupt is disabled by the mn10300_serial_pic irq_chip table.

Matt Helsley dc52ddc0e6 container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystem
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
framework.  It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.

The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
freezer.state.  Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup.  Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup.  Reading will return the current state.

* Examples of usage :

   # mkdir /containers/freezer
   # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer  /containers
   # mkdir /containers/0
   # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks

to get status of the freezer subsystem :

   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

to freeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FREEZING
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FROZEN

to unfreeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
task in a simple scenario.

It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete.  In that case we
return EBUSY.  This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
time.  After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read.  The state will remain
"FREEZING" until one of these things happens:

	1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
		the freezer.state file
	2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
		the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
		and returns EIO)
	3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
		state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

David Howells d6478fad43 MN10300: Fix IRQ handling
Fix the IRQ handling on the MN10300 arch.

This patch makes a number of significant changes:

 (1) It separates the irq_chip definition for edge-triggered interrupts from
     the one for level-triggered interrupts.

     This is necessary because the MN10300 PIC latches the IRQ channel's
     interrupt request bit (GxICR_REQUEST), even after the device has ceased to
     assert its interrupt line and the interrupt channel has been disabled in
     the PIC.  So for level-triggered interrupts we need to clear this bit when
     we re-enable - which is achieved by setting GxICR_DETECT but not
     GxICR_REQUEST when writing to the register.

     Not doing this results in spurious interrupts occurring because calling
     mask_ack() at the start of handle_level_irq() is insufficient - it fails
     to clear the REQUEST latch because the device that caused the interrupt is
     still asserting its interrupt line at this point.

 (2) IRQ disablement [irq_chip::disable_irq()] shouldn't clear the interrupt
     request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.

 (3) IRQ unmasking [irq_chip::unmask_irq()] also shouldn't clear the interrupt
     request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.

 (4) The end() operation is now left to the default (no-operation) as
     __do_IRQ() is compiled out.  This may affect misrouted_irq(), but
     according to Thomas Gleixner it's the correct thing to do.

 (5) handle_level_irq() is used for edge-triggered interrupts rather than
     handle_edge_irq() as the MN10300 PIC latches interrupt events even on
     masked IRQ channels, thus rendering IRQ_PENDING unnecessary.  It is
     sufficient to call mask_ack() at the start and unmask() at the end.

 (6) For level-triggered interrupts, ack() is now NULL as it's not used, and
     there is no effective ACK function on the PIC.  mask_ack() is now the
     same as mask() as the latch continues to latch, even when the channel is
     masked.

Further, the patch discards the disable() op implementation as its now the same
as the mask() op implementation, which is used instead.

It also discards the enable() op implementations as they're now the same as
the unmask() op implementations, which are used instead.

Johannes Weiner 4984d2d888 mn10300: use generic show_mem()
Remove arch-specific show_mem() in favor of the generic version.

This also removes the following redundant information display:

	- free pages, printed by show_free_areas()
	- pages in swapcache, printed by show_swap_cache_info()

where show_mem() calls show_free_areas(), which calls
show_swap_cache_info().

Thomas Petazzoni 2d6ffcca62 inflate: refactor inflate malloc code
Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.

The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
free.  This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.

This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
all the malloc/free implementations.

The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
 - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
   allocations should be made
 - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
   allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
   the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed

The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
function call.  This function will be called several times during the
decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
still running.  If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
arch_decomp_wdog().

Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
kernel and improved by me.

Johannes Weiner 3560e249ab bootmem: replace node_boot_start in struct bootmem_data
Almost all users of this field need a PFN instead of a physical address,
so replace node_boot_start with node_min_pfn.
