Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
Add a PLAT8250_DEV_PLATFORM2, and convert the two ixdp2x01 CPLD serial
ports to use platform serial devices with ids PLAT8250_DEV_PLATFORM[12].
(The on-chip xscale UART is PLAT8250_DEV_PLATFORM, id #0.)

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
Quoting RMK:
|pte_write() just says that the page _may_ be writable. It doesn't say
|that the MMU is programmed to allow writes. If pte_dirty() doesn't
|return true, that means that the page is _not_ writable from userspace.
|If you write to it from kernel mode (without using put_user) you'll
|bypass the MMU read-only protection and may end up writing to a page
|owned by two separate processes.

o check_timer() routine fails while second kernel is booting after a crash
on an opetron box. Problem happens because timer vector (0x31) seems to be
locked.
o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence
interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC
sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other
pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt
is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this
interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31
locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for
EOI.
o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set.
o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early
boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses
mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But
probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.

This patch puts the infrastructure in place to allow for a reordering of
functions based inside the vmlinux. The general idea is that it is possible
to put all "common" functions into the first 2Mb of the code, so that they
are covered by one TLB entry. This as opposed to the current situation where
a typical vmlinux covers about 3.5Mb (on x86-64) and thus 2 TLB entries.
This is done by enabling the -ffunction-sections flag in gcc, which puts
each function in its own ELF section, so that the linker can then order them
in a way defined by the linker script.
As per previous discussions, Linus said he wanted a "static" list for this,
eg a list provided by the kernel tarbal, so that most people have the same
ordering at least. A script is provided to create this list based on
readprofile(1) output. The included list is provisional, and entirely biased
on my own testbox and me running a few kernel compiles and some other
things.
I think that to get to a better list we need to invite people to submit
their own profiles, and somehow add those all up and base the final list on
that. I'm willing to do that effort if this is ends up being the prefered
approach. Such an effort probably needs to be repeated like once a year or
so to adopt to the changing nature of the kernel.
Made it a CONFIG with default n because it increases link times
dramatically.

This patch puts the code from head.S in a special .bootstrap.text
section.
I'm working on a patch to reorder the functions in the kernel (I'll post
that later), but for x86-64 at least the kernel bootstrap requires that
the head.S functions are on the very first page/pages of the kernel
text. This is understandable since the bootstrap is complex enough
already and not a problem at all, it just means they aren't allowed to
be reordered. This patch puts these special functions into a separate
section to document this, and to guarantee this in the light of possibly
reordering the rest later.
(So this patch doesn't fix a bug per se, but makes things more robust by
making the order of these functions explicit)

- Move the core parser into dmi_scan.c. It can be useful for other
subsystems too.
- Differentiate between field doesn't exist and field is 0 or
unparseable. The first case is likely an old BIOS with broken ACPI,
the later is likely a slightly buggy BIOS where someone forget to
edit the date. Don't blacklist in the later case.

In a micro-benchmark that stresses the pagefault path, the down_read_trylock
on the mmap_sem showed up quite high on the profile. Turns out this lock is
bouncing between cpus quite a bit and thus is cache-cold a lot. This patch
prefetches the lock (for write) as early as possible (and before some other
somewhat expensive operations). With this patch, the down_read_trylock
basically fell out of the top of profile.

phys_proc_id[] on AMD boxes is right now populated with the initial
apic id, obtained by the cpuid instruction. But, the initial apic id
need not be the local apic id on clustered APIC systems (see comment at
x86_64/kernel/genapic_cluster.c, line 110). On vSMPowered with AMD
CPUs the cpu_to_node will turn out to be incorrect (as apicid_to_node[] is
indexed by the initial apic id rather than the local apic id).
On vSMPowered boxes with Intel CPUs this is working correctly as
phys_proc_id[] is initialized correctly in detect_ht().
This fixes AMD boot path according to specification, to use the correct
routines for local apic id and socket ids. We use
hard_smp_processor_id() to read the local apic id, and phys_pkg_id() to
determine socket id for phys_proc_id[]
Patch tested on Tyan multicore boxes as well as vSMPowered boxes.

gcc should handle this anyways, and it causes problems when
sprintf is turned into strcpy by gcc behind our backs and
the C fallback version of strcpy is actually defining __builtin_strcpy
Then drop -ffreestanding from the main Makefile because it isn't
needed anymore and implies -fno-builtin, which is wrong now.
(it was only added for x86-64, so dropping it should be safe)
