22d4225f61 MN10300: Differentiate AM33_2 and AM33_3 in config
Differentiate AM33_2 and AM33_3 CPU cores in configuration.  The MN103E010
processor contains an AM33_2 core.

Whilst we're at it, prepare for AM34-based stuff by declaring AM34_2 too.

9f200d3fed MN10300: Provide the functions to fully disable maskable interrupts
The local_irq_disable() function and co. merely raise the interrupt mask on the
MN10300 arch to exclude normal interrupts.  This still lets other, higher
priority maskable interrupts through, such as are used to service gdbstub's
serial port and the MN10300 on-chip serial port virtual FIFOs.

Provide functions to allow the maskable interrupts to be fully disabled, which
will exclude those interrupts.

3b950de9c9 MN10300: Prevent cnt32_to_63() from being preempted in sched_clock()
Prevent cnt32_to_63() from being preempted in sched_clock() because it may
read its internal counter, get preempted, get delayed for more than the half
period of the 'TSC' and then write the internal counter, thus corrupting it.

Whilst some callers of sched_clock() have interrupts disabled or hold
spinlocks, not all do, and so preemption must be held here.

Note that sched_clock() is called from lockdep, but that shouldn't be a problem
because although preempt_disable() calls into lockdep, lockdep has a recursion
counter to deal with this.

op_name_from_perf_id() currently returns a local variable, which isn't
terribly productive. As we only handle a single PMU case for now, simply
allocate and free the string from the arch init/exit context and have
op_name_from_perf_id() hand back the cached string.

This also takes UTS_MACHINE in to account, given that we build for
multiple architectures.

d911202e3f uml: define CONFIG_NO_DMA
I think that it's better to detect DMA misuse at build time rather than
calling BUG_ON.  Architectures that can't do DMA need to define
CONFIG_NO_DMA.

Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for explaining how CONFIG_NO_DMA and CONFIG_HAS_DMA
work:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128359913825550&w=2

HAS_DMA is defined like this:

config HAS_DMA
        boolean
        depends on !NO_DMA
        default y

So to set HAS_DMA to true an arch should do:
1) Do not define NO_DMA
2) Define NO_DMA abd set it to 'n'

Must archs - including um - used principle 1).

In the um case we want to say that we do NOT have any DMA.
This can be done in two ways.
a) define NO_DMA and set it to 'y'
b) redefine HAS_DMA and set it to 'n'.

The patch you provided used principle b) where other archs use principle a).
So I suggest you should use principle a) for um too.

98c532ecbe alpha: use single HAE window on T2 core logic (gamma, sable)
T2 are the only alpha SMP systems that do HAE switching at runtime, which
is fundamentally racy on SMP.  This patch limits MMIO space on T2 to HAE0
only, like we did on MCPCIA (rawhide) long ago.  This leaves us with only
112 Mb of PCI MMIO (128 Mb HAE aperture minus 16 Mb reserved for EISA),
but since linux PCI allocations are reasonably tight, it should be enough
for sane hardware configurations.

Also, fix a typo in MCPCIA_FROB_MMIO macro which shouldn't call set_hae()
if MCPCIA_ONE_HAE_WINDOW is defined.  It's more for correctness, as
set_hae() is a no-op anyway in that case.

68da336a14 x86: access_error API cleanup
access_error() already takes error_code as an argument, so there is
no need for an additional write flag.

d065bd810b mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer
This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for
disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs.

It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call
site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer.
In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and
do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault.

It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be
cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time.

Tests:

- microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses
  to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does
  mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s
  before, 15000 iterations/s after.

- We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show
  significant performance regressions when running without this change.
