<title>parisc: Don't use BITS_PER_LONG in userspace-exported swab.h header</title>

<content type='text'>
In swab.h the "#if BITS_PER_LONG &gt; 32" breaks compiling userspace programs if
BITS_PER_LONG is #defined by userspace with the sizeof() compiler builtin.

Solve this problem by using __BITS_PER_LONG instead.  Since we now
#include asm/bitsperlong.h avoid further potential userspace pollution
by moving the #define of SHIFT_PER_LONG to bitops.h which is not
exported to userspace.

This patch unbreaks compiling qemu on hppa/parisc.

Commit 7e7814180b33 ("signal: consolidate {TS,TLF}_RESTORE_SIGMASK code")
introduced code with which the "restore sigmask" flag lives in task_struct
instead of ti-&gt;flags. Let's use this optimization on parisc too.

Restructure the timer interrupt function to better cope with missed timer irqs.
Optimize the calculation when the next interrupt should happen and skip irqs if
they would happen too shortly after exit of the irq function.

The update_process_times() call is done anyway at every timer irq, so we can
safely drop the prof_counter and prof_multiplier variables from the per_cpu
structure.

This patch fixes the debug code which runs during the inventory scan on
machines with PAT firmware.

Additionally print out the relationship between the detected logical CPU
number and it's physical location and physical cpu number.
This leads to information which can be used to feed numa-structures in
the kernel in later patches. An example output is from my single-CPU (2
cores) C8000 machine is:

  Logical CPU #0 is physical cpu #0 at 0xffff0000ffff15, hpa 0xfffffffffe780000
  Logical CPU #1 is physical cpu #1 at 0xffff0000ffff15, hpa 0xfffffffffe781000

   - Add vCPU preemption support: add an interface to query the
     preemption status of vCPUs and use it in locking primitives - this
     optimizes paravirt performance. (Pan Xinhui, Juergen Gross,
     Christian Borntraeger)

   - Introduce cpu_relax_yield() and remov cpu_relax_lowlatency() to
     clean up and improve the s390 lock yielding machinery and its core
     kernel impact. (Christian Borntraeger)

   - Micro-optimize mutexes some more. (Waiman Long)

   - Reluctantly add the to-be-deprecated mutex_trylock_recursive()
     interface on a temporary basis, to give the DRM code more time to
     get rid of its locking hacks. Any other users will be NAK-ed on
     sight. (We turned off the deprecation warning for the time being to
     not pollute the build log.) (Peter Zijlstra)

<title>parisc: Purge TLB before setting PTE</title>

<content type='text'>
The attached change interchanges the order of purging the TLB and
setting the corresponding page table entry.  TLB purges are strongly
ordered.  It occurred to me one night that setting the PTE first might
have subtle ordering issues on SMP machines and cause random memory
corruption.

A TLB lock guards the insertion of user TLB entries.  So after the TLB
is purged, a new entry can't be inserted until the lock is released.
This ensures that the new PTE value is used when the lock is released.

Since making this change, no random segmentation faults have been
observed on the Debian hppa buildd servers.
