Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed. Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.
Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

As the actual pointer value is the same for the thread stack allocation
and the thread_info, code that confused the two worked fine, but will
break when the thread info is moved away from the stack allocation. It
also looks very confusing.
For example, the kprobe code wanted to know the current top of stack.
To do that, it used this:
(unsigned long)current_thread_info() + THREAD_SIZE
which did indeed give the correct value. But it's not only a fairly
nonsensical expression, it's also rather complex, especially since we
actually have this:
static inline unsigned long current_top_of_stack(void)
which not only gives us the value we are interested in, but happens to
be how "current_thread_info()" is currently defined as:
(struct thread_info *)(current_top_of_stack() - THREAD_SIZE);
so using current_thread_info() to figure out the top of the stack really
is a very round-about thing to do.
The other cases are just simpler confusion about task_thread_info() vs
task_stack_page(), which currently return the same pointer - but if you
want the stack page, you really should be using the latter one.
And there was one entirely unused assignment of the current stack to a
thread_info pointer.
All cleaned up to make more sense today, and make it easier to move the
thread_info away from the stack in the future.
No semantic changes.

x86_64 uses a per_cpu variable kernel_stack to always point to
the thread stack of current. This is where the thread_info is stored
and is accessed from this location even when the irq or exception stack
is in use. This removes the complexity of having to maintain the
thread info on the stack when interrupts are running and having to
copy the preempt_count and other fields to the interrupt stack.
x86_32 uses the old method of copying the thread_info from the thread
stack to the exception stack just before executing the exception.
Having the two different requires #ifdefs and also the x86_32 way
is a bit of a pain to maintain. By converting x86_32 to the same
method of x86_64, we can remove #ifdefs, clean up the x86_32 code
a little, and remove the overhead of the copy.

The i386 thread_info contains a previous_esp field that is used
to daisy chain the different stacks for dump_stack()
(ie. irq, softirq, thread stacks).
The goal is to eventual make i386 handling of thread_info the same
as x86_64, which means that the thread_info will not be in the stack
but as a per_cpu variable. We will no longer depend on thread_info
being able to daisy chain different stacks as it will only exist
in one location (the thread stack).
By moving previous_esp to the end of thread_info and referencing
it as an offset instead of using a thread_info field, this becomes
a stepping stone to moving the thread_info.
The offset to get to the previous stack is rather ugly in this
patch, but this is only temporary and the prev_esp will be changed
in the next commit. This commit is more for sanity checks of the
change.

Convert x86 to use a per-cpu preemption count. The reason for doing so
is that accessing per-cpu variables is a lot cheaper than accessing
thread_info variables.
We still need to save/restore the actual preemption count due to
PREEMPT_ACTIVE so we place the per-cpu __preempt_count variable in the
same cache-line as the other hot __switch_to() variables such as
current_task.
NOTE: this save/restore is required even for !PREEMPT kernels as
cond_resched() also relies on preempt_count's PREEMPT_ACTIVE to ignore
task_struct::state.
Also rename thread_info::preempt_count to ensure nobody is
'accidentally' still poking at it.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

If the irq happens in user mode, our kernel stack is empty
(apart from the pt_regs themselves, of course), so there's no
need or advantage to switch.
And it really doesn't save any stack space, quite the reverse:
it means that a nested interrupt cannot switch irq stacks. So
instead of saving kernel stack space, it actually causes the
potential for *more* stack usage.
Also simplify the preemption count copy when we do switch
stacks: just copy the whole preemption count, rather than just
the softirq parts of it. There is no advantage to the partial
copy: it is more effort to get a less correct result.

The added functions (init_alloc_desc_masks & init_copy_desc_masks) are

!CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK case.) [Naming chosen to be consistent with
the other init*irq functions, as well as the backwards arg declaration
of "from, to" instead of the more common "to, from" standard.]

Impact: new feature
Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.
To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.
When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).
This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

Arjan van de Ven noticed that we changed IRQ numbers from decimal
to hex in /proc/interrupts - that can break user-space utilities
like irqbalanced.

Ingo said sparse_irq is some intrusive. need to make it selectable
to make it simple, remove irq_desc as parameter in some functions.
(ack, eoi, set_affinity).
may need to make member if irq_chip to take irq_desc, or struct irq later.

so could figure out bugs where we get an interrupt, but vector_irq is
not initialized yet.
