percpu areas are already allocated during boot for each possible cpu.
percpu idle threads can be considered as an extension of the percpu areas,
and allocate them for each possible cpu during boot.
This will eliminate the need for workqueue based idle thread allocation.
In future we can move the idle thread area into the percpu area too.
[ tglx: Moved the loop into smpboot.c and added an error check when
the init code failed to allocate an idle thread for a cpu which
should be onlined ]

All SMP architectures have magic to fork the idle task and to store it
for reusage when cpu hotplug is enabled. Provide a generic
infrastructure for it.
Create/reinit the idle thread for the cpu which is brought up in the
generic code and hand the thread pointer to the architecture code via
__cpu_up().
Note, that fork_idle() is called via a workqueue, because this
guarantees that the idle thread does not get a reference to a user
space VM. This can happen when the boot process did not bring up all
possible cpus and a later cpu_up() is initiated via the sysfs
interface. In that case fork_idle() would be called in the context of
the user space task and take a reference on the user space VM.

The comments above __alloc_bootmem_node() claim that the code will
first try the allocation using 'goal' and if that fails it will
try again but with the 'goal' requirement dropped.
Unfortunately, this is not what the code does, so fix it to do so.
This is important for nobootmem conversions to architectures such
as sparc where MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is infinity.
On such architectures all of the allocations done by generic spots,
such as the sparse-vmemmap implementation, will pass in:
__pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
as the goal, and with the limit given as "-1" this will always fail
unless we add the appropriate fallback logic here.

This patch instructs DLM to prevent an "in place" conversion, where the
lock just stays on the granted queue, and instead forces the conversion to
the back of the convert queue. This is done on upward conversions only.
This is useful in cases where, for example, a lock is frequently needed in
PR on one node, but another node needs it temporarily in EX to update it.
This may happen, for example, when the rindex is being updated by gfs2_grow.
The gfs2_grow needs to have the lock in EX, but the other nodes need to
re-read it to retrieve the updates. The glock is already granted in PR on
the non-growing nodes, so this prevents them from continually re-granting
the lock in PR, and forces the EX from gfs2_grow to go through.

"This includes one short patch fixing the behavior of the QUECVT flag,

dlm: fix QUECVT when convert queue is empty
Mel reports a BUG_ON(slot == NULL) in radix_tree_tag_set() on s390
3.0.13: called from __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() when page_remove_rmap()
tries to transfer dirty flag from s390 storage key to struct page and
radix_tree.
That would be because of reclaim's shrink_page_list() calling
add_to_swap() on this page at the same time: first PageSwapCache is set
(causing page_mapping(page) to appear as &swapper_space), then
page->private set, then tree_lock taken, then page inserted into
radix_tree - so there's an interval before taking the lock when the
radix_tree slot is empty.
We could fix this by moving __add_to_swap_cache()'s spin_lock_irq up
before the SetPageSwapCache. But a better fix is simply to do what's
five years overdue: Ken Chen introduced __set_page_dirty_no_writeback()
(if !PageDirty TestSetPageDirty) for tmpfs to skip all the radix_tree
overhead, and swap is just the same - it ignores the radix_tree tag, and
does not participate in dirty page accounting, so should be using
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback() too.
s390 testing now confirms that this does indeed fix the problem.

Provide the proper override macros for x32 siginfo_t. The combination
of a special type here and an overall alignment constraint actually
ends up with all the types being properly aligned, but the hack is
needed to keep the substructures inside siginfo_t from adding padding.
Note: use __attribute__((aligned())) since __aligned() is not exported
to user space.

commit c744a65c1e
md: don't set md arrays to readonly on shutdown.
removed the possibility of a 'BUG' when data is written to an array
that has just been switched to read-only, but also introduced the
possibility that the array metadata could be corrupted.
If, when md_notify_reboot gets the mddev lock, the array is
in a state where it is assembled but hasn't been started (as can
happen if the personality module is not available, or in other unusual
situations), then incorrect metadata will be written out making it
impossible to re-assemble the array.
So only call __md_stop_writes() if the array has actually been
activated.
This patch is needed for any stable kernel which has had the above
commit applied.

Commit 7bfec5f35c
md/raid5: If there is a spare and a want_replacement device, start replacement.
cause md_check_recovery to call ->add_disk much more often.
Instead of only when the array is degraded, it is now called whenever
md_check_recovery finds anything useful to do, which includes
updating the metadata for clean<->dirty transition.
This causes unnecessary work, and causes info messages from ->add_disk
to be reported much too often.
So refine md_check_recovery to only do any actual recovery checking
(including ->add_disk) if MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED is set.
This fix is suitable for 3.3.y:

For the particular issue of x32, which shares code with i386 in the
handling of compat_siginfo_t, the use of a 64-bit clock_t bumps the
sigchld structure out of alignment, which triggers a messy cascade of
padding.
This was already handled on the kernel compat side, but it needs
handling on the user space side, which uses the generic header. To
make that possible:
1. Allow __kernel_clock_t to be overridden in struct siginfo;
2. Allow there to be attributes added to struct siginfo.

Check __LP64__ isn't a reliable way to tell if we are compiling for x32
since __LP64__ isnn't specified by x86-64 psABI. Not all x86-64
compilers define __LP64__, which was added to GCC 3.3. The updated x32
psABI:

definse _ILP32 and __ILP32__ for x32. GCC trunk and 4.7 branch have
been updated to define _ILP32 and __ILP32__ for x32. This patch
replaces __LP64__ check with __ILP32__.

With commit a2ef5c4fd4
"ACPI: Move module parameter gts and bfs to sleep.c" the
wake_sleep_flags is required when calling acpi_enter_sleep_state.
The assembler code in wakeup_*.S did not do that. One solution
is to call it from assembler and stick the wake_sleep_flags on
the stack (for 32-bit) or in %esi (for 64-bit). hpa and rafael
both suggested however to create a wrapper function to call
acpi_enter_sleep_state and call said wrapper function
("acpi_enter_s3") from assembler.
For 32-bit, the acpi_enter_s3 ends up looking as so:
push %ebp
mov %esp,%ebp
sub $0x8,%esp
movzbl 0xc1809314,%eax [wake_sleep_flags]
movl $0x3,(%esp)
mov %eax,0x4(%esp)
call 0xc12d1fa0 <acpi_enter_sleep_state>
leave
ret
And 64-bit:
movzbl 0x9afde1(%rip),%esi [wake_sleep_flags]
push %rbp
mov $0x3,%edi
mov %rsp,%rbp
callq 0xffffffff812e9800 <acpi_enter_sleep_state>
leaveq
retq

With commit a2ef5c4fd4
"ACPI: Move module parameter gts and bfs to sleep.c" the wake_sleep_flags
is required when calling acpi_enter_sleep_state, which means
that if there are functions outside the sleep.c code they
can't get the wake_sleep_flags values.
This converts the function in to a exported value and converts
the module config operands to a function.
