2687069f3a OMAP2 clock/powerdomain: off by 1 error in loop timeout comparisons
with while (i++ < MAX_CLOCK_ENABLE_WAIT); i can reach MAX_CLOCK_ENABLE_WAIT + 1
after the loop, so if (i == MAX_CLOCK_ENABLE_WAIT) that's still success.

7b7bcefa35 OMAP3 SDRC: set FIXEDDELAY when disabling SDRC DLL
Correspondence with the TI OMAP hardware team indicates that
SDRC_DLLA_CTRL.FIXEDDELAY should be initialized to 0x0f.  This number
was apparently derived from process validation.  This is only used
when the SDRC DLL is unlocked (e.g., SDRC clock frequency less than
83MHz).

d0ba3922ae OMAP3 clock/SDRC: program SDRC_MR register during SDRC clock change
Program the SDRC_MR_0 register as well during SDRC clock changes.
This register allows selection of the memory CAS latency.  Some SDRAM
chips, such as the Qimonda HYB18M512160AF6, have a lower CAS latency
at lower clock rates.

c9812d042a OMAP3 clock: add a short delay when lowering CORE clk rate
When changing the SDRAM clock from 166MHz to 83MHz via the CORE DPLL M2
divider, add a short delay before returning to SDRAM to allow the SDRC
time to stabilize.  Without this delay, the system is prone to random
panics upon re-entering SDRAM.

This time delay varies based on MPU frequency.  At 500MHz MPU frequency at
room temperature, 64 loops seems to work okay; so add another 32 loops for
environmental and process variation.

c894ed6956 [ARM] 5558/1: Add extra checks to ARM unwinder to avoid tracing corrupt stacks
There are situations where the unwinder goes beyond stack boundaries and
unwinds random data. This patch moves the stack boundaries check after
the unwind_exec_insn() call and adds an extra check for possible
infinite loops (like "mov pc, lr" with pc == lr).

The patch also fixes a bug in the unwind instructions interpreter. The
0xb0 instruction can only set PC to LR if this wasn't already set by
a previous instruction (this is used on exceptions taken while in kernel
mode where svc_entry is annotated with ".save {r0 - pc}").

0c87197142 perf_counter, x86: Improve interactions with fast-gup
Improve a few details in perfcounter call-chain recording that
makes use of fast-GUP:

- Use ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the pte value. ptes are fundamentally
  racy and can be changed on another CPU, so we have to be careful
  about how we access them. The PAE branch is already careful with
  read-barriers - but the non-PAE and 64-bit side needs an
  ACCESS_ONCE() to make sure the pte value is observed only once.

- make the checks a bit stricter so that we can feed it any kind of
  cra^H^H^H user-space input ;-)

b99c6ebe8f sparc64: Fix UP bootup regression.
Commit b696fdc259 ("sparc64: Defer
cpu_data() setup until end of per-cpu data initialization.") broke
bootup for UP builds because the cpu_data() initialization only
occurs in setup_per_cpu_areas() which is never compiled in nor
called in UP builds.

Fix this up by calling the setups directly from init_64.c when
non-SMP.

71e308a239 function-graph: add stack frame test
In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return
from function code, we would like to detect that.

An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the
function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested
when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for
this purpose.

This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack
frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit.

There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a
few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the
return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and
not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go
to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function
graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do
this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function
was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes.

This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was.

This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch
specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate
the new prototype.

Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace.
This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be
used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

2521f2c228 gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure
Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel.  gcov may be useful for:

 * debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
 * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
 * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
   associated code is never run?)

The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:

 * change kbuild to include profiling flags
 * provide functions needed by profiling code
 * present profiling data as files in debugfs

Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.

For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

Fix up the number of cells for the values of CPC925 Memory Controller,
and setup related platform device during system booting up, against
which CPC925 Memory Controller EDAC driver would be matched.
