Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking:

- cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on
  architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory
  read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent
  ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM.

- test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers.

So put these barriers in.  Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub
operations which do not require barriers.

Our signal syscall restart handling for these kernels still uses
the userspace stack to build code for restarting the syscall.
Unfortunately, fixing this is non-trivial, and so for the time
being, we resolve the problem by disabling NX support.

The ARM SMP code wasn't properly updated for the cpumask changes, which
results in smp_timer_broadcast() broadcasting ticks to non-online CPUs.

<title>[ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation types</title>

From: Bruce Ashfield &lt;bruce.ashfield@windriver.com&gt;

To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
required.

The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
top half of a register.

The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
instruction itself.  The immediate bits in the instruction are not
contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

This is a version incorporating Christoph's suggestion.

Separate out common *fstatat functionality into a single function
instead of duplicating it all over the code.

<title>[ARM] 5456/1: add sys_preadv and sys_pwritev</title>

Kernel 2.6.30-rc1 added sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to most archs
but not ARM, resulting in

&lt;stdin&gt;:1421:2: warning: #warning syscall preadv not implemented
&lt;stdin&gt;:1425:2: warning: #warning syscall pwritev not implemented

This patch adds sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to ARM.

These syscalls simply take five long-sized parameters, so they
should have no calling-convention/ABI issues in the kernel.

Tested on armv5tel eabi using a preadv/pwritev test program posted
on linuxppc-dev earlier this month.

It would be nice to get this into the kernel before 2.6.30 final,
so that glibc's kernel version feature test for these syscalls
doesn't have to special-case ARM.
