Make default just return 0. The current default (checking
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it;
ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need
to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all.
ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling())
and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all). Killed the latter...

This is the port of uprobes to powerpc. Usage is similar to x86.
[root@xxxx ~]# ./bin/perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc (on 0xb4860)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"Here are the powerpc goodies for 3.5. Main highlights are:
- Support for the NX crypto engine in Power7+
- A bunch of Anton goodness, including some micro optimization of our
syscall entry on Power7
- I converted a pile of our thermal control drivers to the new i2c
APIs (essentially turning the old therm_pm72 into a proper set of
windfarm drivers). That's one more step toward removing the
deprecated i2c APIs, there's still a few drivers to fix, but we are
getting close
- kexec/kdump support for 47x embedded cores
The big missing thing here is no updates from Freescale. Not sure
what's up here, but with Kumar not working for them anymore things are
a bit in a state of flux in that area."

This moves the inlines into system.h and changes the runlatch
code to use the thread local flags (non-atomic) rather than
the TIF flags (atomic) to keep track of the latch state.
The code to turn it back on in an asynchronous interrupt is
now simplified and partially inlined.

This patch implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC and exports
them for ftrace syscalls to use.
To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread
info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit
within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions
in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the
_TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing
is enabled.
In the case of 64bit PowerPC, arch_syscall_addr and
arch_syscall_match_sym_name are overridden to allow ftrace syscalls to
work given the unusual system call table structure and symbol names that
start with a period.

Fix up powerpc to the new mmu_gather stuff.
PPC has an extra batching queue to RCU free the actual pagetable
allocations, use the ARCH extentions for that for now.
For the ppc64_tlb_batch, which tracks the vaddrs to unhash from the
hardware hash-table, keep using per-cpu arrays but flush on context switch
and use a TLF bit to track the lazy_mmu state.

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.
Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.
The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.

This patch adds support for 256KB pages on ppc44x-based boards.
For simplification of implementation with 256KB pages we still assume
2-level paging. As a side effect this leads to wasting extra memory space
reserved for PTE tables: only 1/4 of pages allocated for PTEs are
actually used. But this may be an acceptable trade-off to achieve the
high performance we have with big PAGE_SIZEs in some applications (e.g.
RAID).
Also with 256KB PAGE_SIZE we increase THREAD_SIZE up to 32KB to minimize
the risk of stack overflows in the cases of on-stack arrays, which size
depends on the page size (e.g. multipage BIOs, NTFS, etc.).
With 256KB PAGE_SIZE we need to decrease the PKMAP_ORDER at least down
to 9, otherwise all high memory (2 ^ 10 * PAGE_SIZE == 256MB) we'll be
occupied by PKMAP addresses leaving no place for vmalloc. We do not
separate PKMAP_ORDER for 256K from 16K/64K PAGE_SIZE here; actually that
value of 10 in support for 16K/64K had been selected rather intuitively.
Thus now for all cases of PAGE_SIZE on ppc44x (including the default, 4KB,
one) we have 512 pages for PKMAP.
Because ELF standard supports only page sizes up to 64K, then you should
use binutils later than 2.17.50.0.3 with '-zmax-page-size' set to 256K
for building applications, which are to be run with the 256KB-page sized
kernel. If using the older binutils, then you should patch them like follows:
--- binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c.orig
+++ binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c
-#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE 0x10000
+#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE 0x40000
One more restriction we currently have with 256KB page sizes is inability
to use shmem safely, so, for now, the 256KB is available only if you turn
the CONFIG_SHMEM option off (another variant is to use BROKEN).
Though, if you need shmem with 256KB pages, you can always remove the !SHMEM
dependency in 'config PPC_256K_PAGES', and use the workaround available here:
