The ARM SMP code wasn't properly updated for the cpumask changes, which
results in smp_timer_broadcast() broadcasting ticks to non-online CPUs.

<title>cpumask: centralize cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map</title>

Impact: cleanup

Each SMP arch defines these themselves.  Move them to a central
location.

Twists:
1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
   CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
   Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
   so I just manipulate them both in sync.

4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
   declarations.

All the cases where the local timer for a CPU is accessed happen on the
corresponding current CPU, hence no need to access the per-CPU local
timer mappings.

<title>kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier</title>

<id>e545a6140b698b2494daf0b32107bdcc5e901390</id>
<content type='text'>
Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.

The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.

Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
it right.

<title>[ARM] Fix SMP booting with non-zero PHYS_OFFSET</title>

<id>058ddee5625ade9e9e011b9ae155ac3b8d4eda3a</id>
<content type='text'>
The existing code tries to get the pmd for the temporary page table
by doing:

        pgd = pgd_alloc(&amp;init_mm);
        pmd = pmd_offset(pgd, PHYS_OFFSET);

Since we have a two level page table, pmd_offset() is a no-op, so
this just has a casting effect from a pgd to a pmd - the address
argument is unused.  So this can't work.

Normally, we'd do:

	pgd = pgd_offset(&amp;init_mm, PHYS_OFFSET);
	...
	pmd = pmd_offset(pgd, PHYS_OFFSET);

to get the pmd you want.  However, pgd_offset() takes the mm_struct,
not the (unattached) pgd we just allocated.  So, instead use:

        pgd = pgd_alloc(&amp;init_mm);
        pmd = pmd_offset(pgd + pgd_index(PHYS_OFFSET), PHYS_OFFSET);

The pgd/pud/pmd/pte page table allocation functions get a mm_struct pointer as
first argument.  The free functions do not get the mm_struct argument.  This
is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm
argument is needed on the free function as well.
