<content type='text'>
commit d1669912 (idle: Implement generic idle function) added a new
generic idle along with support for hlt/nohlt command line options to
override default idle loop behavior.  However, the command-line
processing is never compiled.

The command-line handling is wrapped by CONFIG_GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP
and arches that use this feature select it in their Kconfigs.
However, no Kconfig definition was created for this option, so it is
never enabled, and therefore command-line override of the idle-loop
behavior is broken after migrating to the generic idle loop.

To fix, add a Kconfig definition for GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP.

Tested on ARM (OMAP4/Panda) which enables the command-line overrides
by default.

<title>CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.</title>

We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.

Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:

1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
   CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
   for pasting.

(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).

Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
4) Make everyone use them.

<title>Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS</title>

<id>c19fa94a8fed72754e81800dfa14af6daaf6d331</id>
<content type='text'>
On 64 bit architectures with no efficient unaligned access, padding and
explicit alignment must be added in various places to prevent unaligned
64bit accesses (such as taskstats and trace ring buffer).

However this also needs to apply to 32 bit architectures with 64 bit
accesses requiring alignment such as metag.

This is solved by adding a new Kconfig symbol HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
which defaults to 64BIT &amp;&amp; !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, and can be
explicitly selected by METAG and any other relevant architectures. This
can be used in various places to determine whether 64bit alignment is
required.

On 64 bit architectures with no efficient unaligned access, padding and
explicit alignment must be added in various places to prevent unaligned
64bit accesses (such as taskstats and trace ring buffer).

However this also needs to apply to 32 bit architectures with 64 bit
accesses requiring alignment such as metag.

This is solved by adding a new Kconfig symbol HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
which defaults to 64BIT &amp;&amp; !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, and can be
explicitly selected by METAG and any other relevant architectures. This
can be used in various places to determine whether 64bit alignment is
required.

Change it to CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_TO_BUS and set it in all architecures
that already provide virt_to_bus().
