<title>frv: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop</title>

commit 41d8fe5bb3cf91ce2716ac8f43e4b40d802a99c8 upstream.

In the old times, the whole idle task was considered
as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and
more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical
section have been added even in the code of some
architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example.

So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must
be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part
in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side
critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU
in low power mode.

This is necessary for RCU to find the quiescent states in
idle in order to complete grace periods.

Add this missing pair of calls in the Frv's idle loop.

<content type='text'>
Merge Andrew's first set of patches:
 "Non-MM patches:

   - lots of misc bits

   - tree-wide have_clk() cleanups

   - quite a lot of printk tweaks.  I draw your attention to "printk:
     convert the format for KERN_&lt;LEVEL&gt; to a 2 byte pattern" which
     looks a bit scary.  But afaict it's solid.

   - backlight updates

   - lib/ feature work (notably the addition and use of memweight())

   - checkpatch updates

   - rtc updates

   - nilfs updates

   - fatfs updates (partial, still waiting for acks)

   - kdump, proc, fork, IPC, sysctl, taskstats, pps, etc

   - new fault-injection feature work"

* Merge emailed patches from Andrew Morton &lt;akpm@linux-foundation.org&gt;: (128 commits)
  drivers/misc/lkdtm.c: fix missing allocation failure check
  lib/scatterlist: do not re-write gfp_flags in __sg_alloc_table()
  fault-injection: add tool to run command with failslab or fail_page_alloc
  fault-injection: add selftests for cpu and memory hotplug
  powerpc: pSeries reconfig notifier error injection module
  memory: memory notifier error injection module
  PM: PM notifier error injection module
  cpu: rewrite cpu-notifier-error-inject module
  fault-injection: notifier error injection
  c/r: fcntl: add F_GETOWNER_UIDS option
  resource: make sure requested range is included in the root range
  include/linux/aio.h: cpp-&gt;C conversions
  fs: cachefiles: add support for large files in filesystem caching
  pps: return PTR_ERR on error in device_create

Rather than #define the options manually in the architecture code, add
Kconfig options for them and select them there instead.  This also allows
us to select the compat IPC version parsing automatically for platforms
using the old compat IPC interface.

All callers of kmap_atomic_primary() use __KM_CACHE, so it can be
removed safely, and __kmap_atomic_primary() only check if 'type' if
__KM_CACHE or not, so 'type' can be changed to a boolean as well.

Ditto for kunmap_atomic_primary()/__kunmap_atomic_primary().

frv and xtensa both have a header (in their include/asm directories)
that are thin wrappers around asm-generic/cpumask.h. These wrappers are
useless, since that header doesn't exist. They are also unused (all
files including asm/cpumask.h are x86 specific).

hexagon and openrisc generate similar headers at build time (using a
generic-y entry in include/asm/Kbuild). These generated headers are
useless and unused too.

Remove these headers and generic-y entries.

<title>frv/PCI: move fixup hooks from __init to __devinit</title>

The fixups are executed once the pci-device is found which is during
boot process so __init seems fine as long as the platform does not
support hotplug.

However it is possible to remove the PCI bus at run time and have it
rediscovered again via "echo 1 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/rescan" and this will call
the fixups again.
