This patch fixes following error (for big kernels):
---8<---
arch/avr32/boot/u-boot/head.o: In function `no_tag_table':
(.init.text+0x44): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o

(.ex.text+0x236): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o
--->8---
It comes up when the kernel increases and 'panic()' is too far away to fit in
the +/- 2MiB range. Which in turn issues from the 21-bit displacement in
'br{cond4}' mnemonic which is one of the two ways to do jumps (rjmp has just
10-bit displacement and therefore a way smaller range). This fact was stated
before in 8d29b7b9f8.
One solution to solve this is to add a local storage for the symbol address
and just load the $pc with that value.

Before the CRT was (fully) set up in kernel_entry (bss cleared before in
_start, but also not before jump to panic() in no_tag_table case).
This patch fixes this up to have a fully working CRT when branching to panic()
in no_tag_table.

When the 'avr32_comparator' clockevent device is registered,
the clockevent core sets the mode of that clockevent device
to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN. Due to this, the 'comparator_mode'
function calls the 'cpu_idle_poll_ctrl' to disables idle poll.
This results in the aforementioned warning because the polling
is not enabled yet.
Change the code to only disable idle poll if it is enabled by
the same function to avoid the warning.

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.
show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.
* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.
alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
um, xtensa
* Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
The printed information is superset of what used to be there.
arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86
* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the
arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
Converted to use the generic version.
Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.

Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints
extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.
The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
triggered dump_stack().
There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information.
This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's
dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.
Debug information can be printed separately by calling
dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used
in blackfin.
This patch brings the following behavior changes.
* On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
printed. This is because the top frame was determined in
dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
sure whether that'd be necessary.
* Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do
now.
An example WARN dump follows.

v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack(). This loses %ksp
from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.
dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
lib/dump_stack.c. Because linkage is per objecct file,
dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
- at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1
The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue. The build
breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate

The current handle_signal() implementation is broken - it will mask
signals if we fail to setup the signal stack frame, which isn't the
desired behaviour, we should only be masking signals if we succeed in
setting up the stack frame. It looks like this code was copied from the
old (broken) arm implementation but wasn't updated when the arm code was
fixed in commit a6c61e9dfd ("[ARM] 3168/1: Update ARM signal delivery

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.
After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.
Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.
Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.
To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().
If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().
Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:
- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:
- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.
There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.
Split this function into:
- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.
- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).
To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().
This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.
setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.

v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

The ATAG_BOARDINFO is intended to hand over the information
bd->bi_board_number from u-boot to the kernel.
This piece of information can be used to implement some kind of board
identification while booting the kernel. Therefore it is placed in .initdata
section and can be accessed via the new symbol board_number only while
initializing the kernel.

We can delete the code that checks to see if we're sending an ignored
signal to init because force_sig_info() already handles this case.
force_sig_info() will kill init even if the signal handler is SIG_DFL
and the scenario described in the comment where init might "generate
the same exception over and over again" cannot occur (force_sig_info()
clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE to ensure that init will die).
Also, the use of is_global_init() is not correct in the multhreaded
case, as Oleg Nesterov explains,
"is_global_init() is not right in theory, /sbin/init can be
multithreaded. And, this doesn't cover the sub-namespace
inits... I'd suggest to check SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, but looking
closer I think you can simply remove this code."
It seems this code was copied from arch/powerpc in March 2007 in commit
623b0355d5 "[AVR32] Clean up exception handling code"
but the code was deleted from arch/powerpc in November 2009 in commit
a0592d42fe "powerpc: kill the obsolete code under is_global_init()"
So catch up with powerpc and delete the bogus code.
