This patch tries to reduce the amount of cmpxchg calls in the writer
failed path by checking the counter value first before issuing the
instruction. If ->count is not set to RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS then there is
no point wasting a cmpxchg call.
Furthermore, Michel states "I suppose it helps due to the case where
someone else steals the lock while we're trying to acquire
sem->wait_lock."
Two very different workloads and machines were used to see how this
patch improves throughput: pgbench on a quad-core laptop and aim7 on a
large 8 socket box with 80 cores.
Some results comparing Michel's fast-path write lock stealing
(tps-rwsem) on a quad-core laptop running pgbench:

Default kernel stack size on parisc is 16k. During tests we found that the
kernel stack can easily grow beyond 13k, which leaves 3k left for irq
processing.
This patch adds the possibility to activate an additional stack of 16k per CPU
which is being used during irq processing. This implementation does not yet
uses this irq stack for the irq bh handler.
The assembler code for call_on_stack was heavily cleaned up by John
David Anglin.

Add the CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW config option to enable checks to
detect kernel stack overflows.
Stack overflows can not be detected reliable since we do not want to
introduce too much overhead.
Instead, during irq processing in do_cpu_irq_mask() we check kernel
stack usage of the interrupted kernel process. Kernel threads can be
easily detected by checking the value of space register 7 (sr7) which
is zero when running inside the kernel.
Since THREAD_SIZE is 16k and PAGE_SIZE is 4k, reduce the alignment of
the init thread to the lower value (PAGE_SIZE) in the kernel
vmlinux.ld.S linker script.

when returning to userspace
Helge and I have found that we have a kernel stack overflow problem
which causes a variety of random failures.
Currently, we re-enable interrupts when returning from an external
interrupt incase we need to schedule or delivery
signals. As a result, a potentially unlimited number of interrupts
can occur while we are running on the kernel
stack. It is very limited in space (currently, 16k). This change
defers enabling interrupts until we have
actually decided to schedule or delivery signals. This only occurs
when we about to return to userspace. This
limits the number of interrupts on the kernel stack to one. In other
cases, interrupts remain disabled until the
final return from interrupt (rfi).

Pull late ARM Exynos multiplatform changes from Arnd Bergmann:
"These continue the multiplatform support for exynos, adding support
for building most of the essential drivers (clocksource, clk, irqchip)
when combined with other platforms. As a result, it should become
really easy to add full multiplatform exynos support in 3.11, although
we don't yet enable it for 3.10.
The changes were not included in the earlier multiplatform series in
order to avoid clashes with the other Exynos updates.
This also includes work from Tomasz Figa to fix the pwm clocksource
code on Exynos, which is not strictly required for multiplatform, but
related to the other patches in this set and needed as a bug fix for
at least one board."

for pinctrl (using the new subsystem) and for clocks (not yet using

one of the upcoming releases, but shmobile is not ready for that yet.
The series also contains Renesas shmobile board changes, adding one
board file for each of the three new SoCs. These boards are using a
mix of classic and device-tree based probing, as there is still a lot
of infrastructure in shmobile that has not been converted to DT yet.
Once those are resolved to the degree that no board specific setup

Merge rwsem optimizations from Michel Lespinasse:
"These patches extend Alex Shi's work (which added write lock stealing
on the rwsem slow path) in order to provide rwsem write lock stealing
on the fast path (that is, without taking the rwsem's wait_lock).
I have unfortunately been unable to push this through -next before due
to Ingo Molnar / David Howells / Peter Zijlstra being busy with other
things. However, this has gotten some attention from Rik van Riel and
Davidlohr Bueso who both commented that they felt this was ready for
v3.10, and Ingo Molnar has said that he was OK with me pushing
directly to you. So, here goes :)

Searching for PPC_EFIKA results in a segmentation fault, and it's
because get_symbol_prop() returns NULL.
In this case CONFIG_PPC_EFIKA is defined in arch/powerpc/platforms/
52xx/Kconfig, so it won't be parsed if ARCH!=PPC, but menuconfig knows
this symbol when it parses sound/soc/fsl/Kconfig:
config SND_MPC52xx_SOC_EFIKA
tristate "SoC AC97 Audio support for bbplan Efika and STAC9766"

modify __down_write[_nested] and __down_write_trylock to grab the write
lock whenever the active count is 0, even if there are queued waiters
(they must be writers pending wakeup, since the active count is 0).
Note that this is an optimization only; architectures without this
optimization will still work fine:
- __down_write() would take the slow path which would take the wait_lock
and then try stealing the lock (as in the spinlocked rwsem implementation)
- __down_write_trylock() would fail, but callers must be ready to deal
with that - since there are some writers pending wakeup, they could
have raced with us and obtained the lock before we steal it.

This change fixes a race condition where a reader might determine it
needs to block, but by the time it acquires the wait_lock the rwsem has
active readers and no queued waiters.
In this situation the reader can run in parallel with the existing
active readers; it does not need to block until the active readers
complete.
Thanks to Peter Hurley for noticing this possible race.

When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read
locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers. But in
order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the
readers at the head of the queue. This might take a while if there are
many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the
lock while we're counting. To that end, we grant the first reader lock
before counting how many more readers are queued.
We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics.
RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be
RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as
nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock. This doesn't make
sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use
RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case.
Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was
active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new
readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was
available. We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might
release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we
wake up additional readers. So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS
value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently
hold any read lock.

This is mostly for cleanup value:
- We don't need several gotos to handle the case where the first
waiter is a writer. Two simple tests will do (and generate very
similar code).
- In the remainder of the function, we know the first waiter is a reader,
so we don't have to double check that. We can use do..while loops
to iterate over the readers to wake (generates slightly better code).

Some small code simplifications can be achieved by doing more agressive
lock stealing:
- When rwsem_down_write_failed() notices that there are no active locks
(and thus no thread to wake us if we decided to sleep), it used to wake
the first queued process. However, stealing the lock is also sufficient
to deal with this case, so we don't need this check anymore.
- In try_get_writer_sem(), we can steal the lock even when the first waiter
is a reader. This is correct because the code path that wakes readers is
protected by the wait_lock. As to the performance effects of this change,
they are expected to be minimal: readers are still granted the lock
(rather than having to acquire it themselves) when they reach the front
of the wait queue, so we have essentially the same behavior as in
rwsem-spinlock.

When waking writers, we never grant them the lock - instead, they have
to acquire it themselves when they run, and remove themselves from the
wait_list when they succeed.
As a result, we can do a few simplifications in rwsem_down_write_failed():
- We don't need to check for !waiter.task since __rwsem_do_wake() doesn't
remove writers from the wait_list
- There is no point releaseing the wait_lock before entering the wait loop,
as we will need to reacquire it immediately. We can change the loop so
that the lock is always held at the start of each loop iteration.
- We don't need to get a reference on the task structure, since the task
is responsible for removing itself from the wait_list. There is no risk,
like in the rwsem_down_read_failed() case, that a task would wake up and
exit (thus destroying its task structure) while __rwsem_do_wake() is
still running - wait_lock protects against that.

When trying to acquire a read lock, the RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS
adjustment doesn't cause other readers to block, so we never have to
worry about waking them back after canceling this adjustment in
rwsem_down_read_failed().
We also never want to steal the lock in rwsem_down_read_failed(), so we
don't have to grab the wait_lock either.

This change reduces the size of the spinlocked and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
sections in rwsem_down_failed_common():
- We only need the sem->wait_lock to insert ourselves on the wait_list;
the waiter node can be prepared outside of the wait_lock.
- The task state only needs to be set to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE immediately
before checking if we actually need to sleep; it doesn't need to protect
the entire function.

If hard_irq_disable() is called while interrupts are already soft-disabled
(which is the most common case) all is already well.
However you can (and in some cases want) to call it while everything is
enabled (to make sure you don't get a lazy even, for example before entry
into KVM guests) and in this case we need to inform the irq tracer that
the irqs are going off.
We have to change the inline into a macro to avoid an include circular
