Now that the return from alloc_percpu is compatible with the address
of per-cpu vars, it makes sense to hand around the address of per-cpu
variables. To make this sane, we remove the per_cpu__ prefix we used
created to stop people accidentally using these vars directly.
Now we have sparse, we can use that (next patch).
tj: * Updated to convert stuff which were missed by or added after the
original patch.
* Kill per_cpu_var() macro.

This patch updates percpu related symbols in ia64 such that percpu
symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols. This serves
two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol
collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols.
* arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c: s/cpu_info/ia64_cpu_info/
Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars
which cause name clashes" patch.

Back in January 2008 Nick Piggin implemented "ticket" spinlocks
for X86 (See commit 314cdbefd1fd0a7acf3780e9628465b77ea6a836).
IA64 implementation has a couple of differences because of the
available atomic operations ... e.g. we have no fetchadd2 instruction
that operates on a 16-bit quantity so we make ticket locks use
a 32-bit word for each of the current ticket and now-serving values.
Performance on uncontended locks is about 8% worse than the previous
implementation, but this seems a good trade for determinism in the
contended case. Performance impact on macro-level benchmarks is in
the noise.

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning. Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.

Since kvm/module needs to use some unexported functions in kernel,
so export them with this patch.

With the unionfs patch applied I get
ERROR: "copy_page" [fs/unionfs/unionfs.ko] undefined!
the other architectures (some, at least) export copy_page() so I guess ia64
should also do so.
To do this we need to move the copy_page() functions out of lib.a and into
built-in.o and add the EXPORT_SYMBOL().

Now we have our own highly optimized assembly code version of
this routine (Thanks Ken!) we should export it so that it can

Add support for making ESI calls [1]. ESI stands for "Extensible SAL
specification" and is basically a way for invoking firmware
subroutines which are identified by a GUID. I don't know whether ESI
is used by vendors other than HP (if you do, please let me know) but
as firmware "backdoors" go, this seems one of the cleaner methods, so
it seems reasonable to support it, even though I'm not aware of any
publicly documented ESI calls. I'd have liked to make the ESI module
completely stand-alone, but unfortunately that is not easily (or not
at all) possible because in order to make ESI calls in physical mode,
a small stub similar to the EFI stub is needed in the kernel proper.
I did try to create a stub that would work in user-level, but it
quickly got ugly beyond recognition (e.g., the stub had to make
assumptions about how the module-loader generated call-stubs work) and
I didn't even get it to work (that's probably fixable, but I didn't
bother because I concluded it was too ugly anyhow). While it's not
terribly elegant to have kernel code which isn't actively used in the
kernel proper, I think it might be worth making an exception here for
two reasons: the code is trivially small (all that's really needed is
esi_stub.S) and by including it in the normal kernel distro, it might
encourage other OEMs to also use ESI, which I think would be far
better than each inventing their own firmware "backdoor".
The code was originally written by Alex. I just massaged and packaged
it a bit (and perhaps messed up some things along the way...).
Changes since first version of patch that was posted to mailing list:
* Export ia64_esi_call and ia64_esi_call_phys() as GPL symbols.
* Disallow building esi.c as a module for now. Building as a module
would currently lead to an unresolved reference to "sal_lock" on SMP kernels
because that symbol doesn't get exported.
* Export esi_call_phys() only if ESI is enabled.
* Remove internal stuff from esi.h and add a "proc_type" argument to
ia64_esi_call() such that serialization-requirements can be expressed (ESI
follows SAL here, where procedure calls may have to be serialized, are
MP-safe, or MP-safe andr reentrant).

A single SGI Altix system can be divided into multiple partitions,
each running their own instance of the Linux kernel. pfn_valid()
is currently not optimal for any but the first partition, since it
does not compare the pfn with min_low_pfn before calling the more
costly ia64_pfn_valid().

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
