f9311f2643 m68knommu: support code to mask external interrupts on old ColdFire CPU's
The external interrupts used on the old Coldfire parts with the old style
interrupt controller can be properly mask/unmasked in the interrupt
handling code.

f2154bef81 m68knommu: merge old ColdFire interrupt controller masking macros
Currently the code that supports setting the old style ColdFire interrupt
controller mask registers is macros in the include files of each of the
CPU types. Merge all these into a set of real masking functions in the
old Coldfire interrupt controller code proper. All the macros are basically
the same (excepting a register size difference on really early parts).

5187995f0a m68knommu: remove duplicate ColdFire mcf_autovector() code
Each of the ColdFire CPU platform code that used the old style interrupt
controller had its own copy of the mcf_autovector() function. They are all
the same, remove them all and create a single function in the common
coldfire/intc.c code.

cores that use the two region INTC interrupt controller. This includes the

cd3dd4068d m68knommu: use general interrupt controller for ColdFire 520x family
Create general interrupt controller code for the ColdFire 520x family,
that does proper masking and unmasking of interrupts. With this in
place some of the driver hacks in place to support ColdFire interrupts
can finally go away.

Within the ColdFire family there is a variety of different interrupt
controllers in use. Some are used on multiple parts, some on only one.
There is quite some differences in some varients, so much so that
common code for all ColdFire parts would be impossible.

This commit introduces code to support one of the newer interrupt
controllers in the ColdFire 5208 and 5207 parts. It has very simple
mask and unmask operations, so is one of the easiest to support.

dca230f00d ARM: 5701/1: ARM: copy_page.S: take into account the size of the cache line
Optimized version of copy_page() was written with assumption that cache
line size is 32 bytes. On Cortex-A8 cache line size is 64 bytes.

This patch tries to generalize copy_page() to work with any cache line
size if cache line size is multiple of 16 and page size is multiple of
two cache line size.

After this optimization we've got ~25% speedup on OMAP3(tested in
userspace).

There is test for kernelspace which trigger copy-on-write after fork():

 #include <stdlib.h>
 #include <string.h>
 #include <unistd.h>

 #define BUF_SIZE (10000*4096)
 #define NFORK 200

 int main(int argc, char **argv)
 {
         char *buf = malloc(BUF_SIZE);
         int i;

         memset(buf, 0, BUF_SIZE);

         for(i = 0; i < NFORK; i++) {
                 if (fork()) {
                         wait(NULL);
                 } else {
                         int j;

                         for(j = 0; j < BUF_SIZE; j+= 4096)
                                 buf[j] = (j & 0xFF) + 1;
                         break;
                 }
         }

         free(buf);
         return 0;
 }

Before optimization this test takes ~66 seconds, after optimization
takes ~56 seconds.

9b6b93998a [IA64] pci_br, fix infinite loop in find_free_ate()
When
* there is almost out of ates
* one asks for more than one ate
* there are some available at the end of ate array
then the inner for loop will end without incrementing 'index'. This
means the outer loop will start at the same point finding it's available
and runs the inner loop again from the same index. This repeats forever.

Hence make sure we check we were at the end of ate array and return
an error in such case.

47fe38fcff x86: sched: Provide arch implementations using aperf/mperf
APERF/MPERF support for cpu_power.

APERF/MPERF is arch defined to be a relative scale of work capacity
per logical cpu, this is assumed to include SMT and Turbo mode.

APERF/MPERF are specified to both reset to 0 when either counter
wraps, which is highly inconvenient, since that'll give a blimp
when that happens. The manual specifies writing 0 to the counters
after each read, but that's 1) too expensive, and 2) destroys the
possibility of sharing these counters with other users, so we live
with the blimp - the other existing user does too.

5cbc19a983 x86: Add generic aperf/mperf code
Move some of the aperf/mperf code out from the cpufreq driver
thingy so that other people can enjoy it too.

a8303aaf2b x86: Move APERF/MPERF into a X86_FEATURE
Move the APERFMPERF capacility into a X86_FEATURE flag so that it
can be used outside of the acpi cpufreq driver.

b8a543ea5a sched: Reduce forkexec_idx
If we're looking to place a new task, we might as well find the
idlest position _now_, not 1 tick ago.

0ec9fab3d1 sched: Improve latencies and throughput
Make the idle balancer more agressive, to improve a
x264 encoding workload provided by Jason Garrett-Glaser:

 NEXT_BUDDY NO_LB_BIAS
 encoded 600 frames, 252.82 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 250.69 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 245.76 fps, 22096.60 kb/s

 NO_NEXT_BUDDY LB_BIAS
 encoded 600 frames, 344.44 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 346.66 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 352.59 fps, 22096.60 kb/s

 NO_NEXT_BUDDY NO_LB_BIAS
 encoded 600 frames, 425.75 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 425.45 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
 encoded 600 frames, 422.49 fps, 22096.60 kb/s

Peter pointed out that this is better done via newidle_idx,
not via LB_BIAS, newidle balancing should look for where
there is load _now_, not where there was load 2 ticks ago.

Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies
means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions)

This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.
