For architectures using dma_map_ops, dma_mmap_coherent() and
dma_get_sgtable() are provided in &lt;asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h&gt;.

Parisc does not use dma_map_ops, hence it should implement them itself.
For now, use dummy implementations that just return -EINVAL, until the
API has been finalized, as it cannot be supported on PA-RISC as-is.

<title>ARCH: drivers remove __dev* attributes.</title>

<id>b881bc469bdbdcca60e75047885509eb9886d3a2</id>
<content type='text'>
This fixes up all of the smaller arches that had __dev* markings for
their platform-specific drivers.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.

  Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
  SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
  resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
  SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
  include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."

Fixed up conflicts as per Al.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  alpha: switch to generic sigaltstack
  new helpers: __save_altstack/__compat_save_altstack, switch x86 and um to those
  generic compat_sys_sigaltstack()
  introduce generic sys_sigaltstack(), switch x86 and um to it
  new helper: compat_user_stack_pointer()
  new helper: restore_altstack()
  unify SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions
  new helper: current_user_stack_pointer()
  missing user_stack_pointer() instances
  Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series

All architectures have
	CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD
	CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE
	__ARCH_WANT_SYS_EXECVE
None of them have __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and there are only two callers
of kernel_execve() (which is a trivial wrapper for do_execve() now) left.
Kill the conditionals and make both callers use do_execve().

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
 "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
  stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
  literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.

  A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):

   - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.

     We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
     or kernel_execve():

     kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
     return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
     successful do_execve() before returning.

     kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
     do transition to user mode anymore.

     As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
     arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
     resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
     architecture-independent.

   - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c

   - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
     copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/-&gt;load_binary/do_coredump.

   - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
     still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
     pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
     kernel/fork.c now."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (113 commits)
  do_coredump(): get rid of pt_regs argument
  print_fatal_signal(): get rid of pt_regs argument

<id>8cbd9cc6254065c97c4bac42daa55ba1abe73a8e</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace,
add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded
in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on
exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously
interlaced.

Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large
timestamp values.

v2:
Move arch-specific bits out of generic code.
v3:
Rename "x86-tsc", cleanups
v7:
Generic arch bits in Kbuild.
