Linux/ARM currently doesn't support robust or PI futexes.
The problem is that the kernel wants to perform certain ops
(cmpxchg, set, add, or, andn, xor) atomically on user-space
addresses, and ARM's futex.h doesn't support that.
This patch adds that support, but only for uniprocessor machines.
For UP it's enough to disable preemption to ensure mutual exclusion
with other software agents (futexes don't need to care about other
hardware agents, fortunately).
This patch is based on one posted by Khem Raj on 2007-08-01
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=118599407413016&w=2>.
(That patch is included in the -RT kernel patches.)
My changes since that version include:
* corrected implementation of FUTEX_OP_ANDN (must complement oparg)
* added missing memory clobber to futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
* removed spinlock because it's unnecessary for UP and insufficient
for SMP, instead the code is restricted to UP and relies on the
fact that pagefault_disable() also disables preemption
* coding style cleanups

Allowing 4k CPU's is not practical at this time, because we still have a
number of places that have several 'cpumask_t's on the stack, and a
4k-bit cpumask is 512 bytes of stack-space for each such variable. This
literally caused functions like 'smp_call_function_mask' to have a 2.5kB
stack frame, and several functions to have 2kB stackframes.
With an 8kB stack total, smashing the stack was simply much too likely.
At least bugzilla entry
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11342
was due to this.
The earlier commit to not inline load_module() into sys_init_module()
fixed the particular symptoms of this that Alan Brunelle saw in that
bugzilla entry, but the huge stack waste by cpumask_t's was the more
direct cause.
Some day we'll have allocation helpers that allocate large CPU masks
dynamically, but in the meantime we simply cannot allow cpumasks this
large.

because there is only one call-site. As a result, all the stack space
that is allocated for all the work to load the module will still be
active when we actually call the module init sequence, and the deep call
chain makes stack overflows happen.
And stack overflows are really hard to debug, because they not only
corrupt random pages below the stack, but also corrupt the thread_info

In this case, Alan Brunelle reported some crazy oopses at bootup, after

visible as a generic PCI device. If e820 reserved entries happen to
be registered first in the resource tree [which v2.6.26 started doing],
then the PCI code will reallocate that device's BAR to some other
address - breaking timer IRQs and hanging the system.
( Normally hpet devices are hidden by the BIOS from the OS's PCI
discovery via chipset magic. Sometimes the hpet is not a PCI device
at all. )
Solve this fundamental fragility by making non-PCI platform drivers
insert resources into the resource tree even if it overlaps the e820
reserved entry, to keep the resource manager from updating the BAR.

During CPU hot-remove the sysfs directory created by

its parent directory, created by mce_create_device(), defined in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_64.c . Moreover, when the CPU in
question is hotplugged again, obviously the latter has to be created
before the former. At present, the right ordering is not enforced,
because all of these operations are carried out by CPU hotplug
notifiers which are not appropriately ordered with respect to each
other. This leads to serious problems on systems with two or more
multicore AMD CPUs, among other things during suspend and hibernation.
Fix the problem by placing threshold bank CPU hotplug callbacks in
mce_cpu_callback(), so that they are invoked at the right places,
if defined. Additionally, use kobject_del() to remove the sysfs
directory associated with the kobject created by
kobject_create_and_add() in threshold_create_bank(), to prevent the
kernel from crashing during CPU hotplug operations on systems with
two or more multicore AMD CPUs.

This patch adds cpu vendor check to the postcore_initcalls.

This fixes a problem spotted with zebra, but not sure if it is
necessary a kernel problem. With IPV6 when an address is added to an
interface, Zebra creates a duplicate RIB entry, one as a connected
route, and other as a kernel route.
When an address is added to an interface the RTN_NEWADDR message
causes Zebra to create a connected route. In IPV4 when an address is
added to an interface a RTN_NEWROUTE message is set to user space with
the protocol RTPROT_KERNEL. Zebra ignores these messages, because it
already has the connected route.
The problem is that route created in IPV6 has route protocol ==
RTPROT_BOOT. Was this a design decision or a bug? This fixes it. Same
patch applies to both net-2.6 and stable.
