0f44ba1d1e [ARM] Move read of processor ID out of lookup_processor_type()
Read the processor ID at boot, and save it in "processor_id" as we
did before.  Later, when we re-parse the CPU type in the setup.c code,
re-use the value stored in "processor_id".

This allows a cleaner work-around for noMMU devices without CP#15.

141fa40cff [ARM] 3356/1: Workaround for the ARM1136 I-cache invalidation problem
Patch from Catalin Marinas

ARM1136 erratum 371025 (category 2) specifies that, under rare
conditions, an invalidate I-cache by MVA (line or range) operation can
fail to invalidate a cache line. The recommended workaround is to
either invalidate the entire I-cache or invalidate the range by
set/way rather than MVA.

Note that for a 16K cache size, invalidating a 4K page by set/way is
equivalent to invalidating the entire I-cache.

6a0e243069 [ARM] 3352/1: DSB required for the completion of a TLB maintenance operation
Patch from Catalin Marinas

Chapter B2.7.3 in the latest ARM ARM (with v6 information) states that
the completion of a TLB maintenance operation is only guaranteed by
the execution of a DSB (Data Syncronization Barrier, formerly Data
Write Barrier or Drain Write Buffer).

Note that a DSB is only needed in the flush_tlb_kernel_* functions
since the completion is guaranteed by a mode change (i.e. switching
back to user mode) for the flush_tlb_user_* functions.

69239749e1 [PATCH] fix next_timer_interrupt() for hrtimer
Also from Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Function next_timer_interrupt() got broken with a recent patch
6ba1b91213 as sys_nanosleep() was moved to
hrtimer.  This broke things as next_timer_interrupt() did not check hrtimer
tree for next event.

Function next_timer_interrupt() is needed with dyntick (CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ,
VST) implementations, as the system can be in idle when next hrtimer event
was supposed to happen.  At least ARM and S390 currently use
next_timer_interrupt().

abbea71872 [ARM] 3348/1: Disable GPIO interrupts
Patch from Andrew Victor

disable_irq() lazily disables the interrupt, so the IRQ is only disabled
once the interrupt occurs again.  The GPIO interrupt handler therefore
must first check disable_depth to see if the IRQ needs to be disabled.

df666b9c51 [ARM] 3325/2: GPIO function to control multi-drive (open collector) capability
Patch from Andrew Victor

This patch adds the at91_set_multi_drive() function to enable/disable
the multi-drive (open collector) pin capability on the AT91RM9200
processor.

This is necessary to fix the UDC (USB Gadget) driver for the AT91RM9200
board as it will not allow the board reset line to be pulled low if the
pullup is not driven as an open collector output as the boards are wired
to the USB connector on both the DK/EK.

This version of the patch updates it to 2.6.16-rc4.

f557f5e51d [ARM] 3313/1: Use OSC4 instead of OSC1 for CLCD
Patch from Catalin Marinas

Because of a type, OSC1 was used for setting the display clock instead of
OSC4. This patch fixes it.

5964eae835 [ARM] 3310/1: add a comment about the possible __kuser_cmpxchg transient false
negative

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

The pre ARMv5 implementation can be aborted if an exception occurs in
the middle of it.  Because of that, the ARMv6 implementation doesn't
re-attempt the operation on a failed strex either.  Let's make this
transient nature of such a false positive more explicit in the
definition.

49bca4c281 [ARM] 3309/1: disable the pre-ARMv5 NPTL kernel helper in the non MMU case
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

The cmpxchg emulation on pre-ARMv5 relies on user code executed from a
kernel address.  If the operation cannot complete atomically, it is
aborted from the usr_entry macro by clearing the Z flag.  This clearing
of the Z flag is done whenever the user pc is above TASK_SIZE.

However this "pc >= TASK_SIZE" test cannot work in the non MMU case.
Worse: the current code will corrupt the Z flag on every entry to the
kernel.

Let's disable it in the non MMU case for now.  Using NPTL on non MMU
targets needs to be worked out anyway.
