Allow the device to give the driver RX data with reorder information.
When that is done, the device will indicate the driver if a packet has
to be held in a (sorted) queue. It will also tell the driver when held
packets have to be released to the OS.
This is done to improve the WiMAX-protocol level retransmission
support when missing frames are detected.
The code docs provide details about the implementation.
In general, this just hooks into the RX path in rx.c; if a packet with
the reorder bit in the RX header is detected, the reorder information
in the header is extracted and one of the four main reorder operations
are executed. In one case (queue) no packet will be delivered to the
networking stack, just queued, whereas in the others (reset, update_ws
and queue_update_ws), queued packet might be delivered depending on
the window start for the specific queue.
The modifications to files other than rx.c are:
- control.c: during device initialization, enable reordering support
if the rx_reorder_disabled module parameter is not enabled
- driver.c: expose a rx_reorder_disable module parameter and call
i2400m_rx_setup/release() to initialize/shutdown RX reorder
support.
- i2400m.h: introduce members in 'struct i2400m' needed for
implementing reorder support.
- linux/i2400m.h: introduce TLVs, commands and constant definitions
related to RX reorder
Last but not least, the rx reorder code includes an small circular log
where the last N reorder operations are recorded to be displayed in
case of inconsistency. Otherwise diagnosing issues would be almost
impossible.

Newer i2400m firmwares (>= v1.4) extend the data RX protocol so that
each packet has a 16 byte header. This header is mainly used to
implement host reordeing (which is addressed in later commits).
However, this header also allows us to overwrite it (once data has
been extracted) with an Ethernet header and deliver to the networking
stack without having to reallocate the skb (as it happened in fw <=
v1.3) to make room for it.
- control.c: indicate the device [dev_initialize()] that the driver
wants to use the extended data RX protocol. Also involves adding the
definition of the needed data types in include/linux/wimax/i2400m.h.
- rx.c: handle the new payload type for the extended RX data
protocol. Prepares the skb for delivery to
netdev.c:i2400m_net_erx().
- netdev.c: Introduce i2400m_net_erx() that adds the fake ethernet
address to a prepared skb and delivers it to the networking
stack.
- cleanup: in most instances in rx.c, the variable 'single' was
renamed to 'single_last' for it better conveys its meaning.

For power saving reasons, WiMAX links can be put in idle mode while
connected after a certain time of the link not being used for tx or
rx. In this mode, the device pages the base-station regularly and when
data is ready to be transmitted, the link is revived.
This patch allows the user to control the time the device has to be
idle before it decides to go to idle mode from a sysfs
interace.
It also updates the initialization code to acknowledge the module
variable 'idle_mode_disabled' when the firmware is a newer version
(upcoming 1.4 vs 2.6.29's v1.3).
The method for setting the idle mode timeout in the older firmwares is
much more limited and can be only done at initialization time. Thus,
the sysfs file will return -ENOSYS on older ones.

Impact: standardize IO on cached ops
On modern CPUs it is almost always a bad idea to use non-temporal stores,
as the regression in this commit has shown it:
30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall
The kernel simply has no good information about whether using non-temporal
stores is a good idea or not - and trying to add heuristics only increases
complexity and inserts fragility.
The regression on cached write()s took very long to be found - over two
years. So dont take any chances and let the hardware decide how it makes
use of its caches.
The only exception is drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c: there were we are
absolutely sure that another entity (the GPU) will pick up the dirty
data immediately and that the CPU will not touch that data before the
GPU will.
Also, keep the _nocache() primitives to make it easier for people to
experiment with these details. There may be more clear-cut cases where
non-cached copies can be used, outside of filemap.c.

Instead of keeping the single vector -> single linux irq mapping
we extend the intc code to support merging of vectors to a single
linux irq. This helps processors such as sh7750, sh7780 and sh7785
which have more vectors than masking ability. With this patch in
place we can modify the intc tables to use one irq per maskable
irq source. Please note the following:
- If multiple vectors share the same enum then only the
first vector will be available as a linux irq.
- Drivers may need to be rewritten to get pending irq
source from the hardware block instead of irq number.
This patch together with the sh7785 specific intc tables solves
DMA controller irq issues related to buggy interrupt masking.

This fixes three issues noticed by Arnd Bergmann:
- Add #ifdef __KERNEL__ and move some things around in perf_counter.h
to make sure only the bits that userspace needs are exported to
userspace.
- Use __u64, __s64, __u32 types in the structs exported to userspace
rather than u64, s64, u32.
- Make the sys_perf_counter_open syscall available to the SPUs on
Cell platforms.
And one issue that I noticed in looking at the code again:
- Wrap the perf_counter_open syscall with SYSCALL_DEFINE4 so we get
the proper handling of int arguments on ppc64 (and some other 64-bit
architectures).

This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of
kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin,
Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton. And cleans up the variable-name
and function-name language. ;-)
The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up.
During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will
fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of
the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state. This in turn causes
RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time.
This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks()
function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the
system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a
new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this
transition. RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable
to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to
determine if it should believe idle_cpu().
Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods
during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces
Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a
no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1. This allows boot-time code that
calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally. Note, however, that RCU
callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in
the boot sequence. Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this
same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its
use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the
scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical
section may be preeempted.
In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the
system_state global variable be __read_mostly.
Changes since v4:
o Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to
be less emotional. ;-)
Changes since v3:
o WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU
switches out of boot-time mode before the first context
switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin.
Changes since v2:
o Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that
determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself
a grace period.
o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and
rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online.
o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt
checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if
the system is still in early boot.
This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running
on a single CPU after booting is complete.
o Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there
being but one online CPU.
Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short
rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.
