ARM: 7877/1: use built-in byte swap function
Enable the compiler intrinsic for byte swapping on arch ARM. This
allows the compiler to detect and be able to optimize out byte
swappings, and has a very modest benefit on vmlinux size (Linaro gcc
4.8):

ARM: 7404/1: cmpxchg64: use atomic64 and local64 routines for cmpxchg64

The cmpxchg64 routines for ARMv6+ CPUs replicate inline assembly that
already exists for atomic64 operations. Furthermore, the cmpxchg64 code
uses the "memory" constraint in the clobber list rather than identifying
the region of memory that is actually modified.

This patch replaces the ARMv6+ cmpxchg64 code with macros that expand to
the atomic64_ and local64_ variants, casting the pointer parameter to
the appropriate container type.

ARM: 7720/1: ARM v6/v7 cmpxchg64 shouldn't clear upper 32 bits of the old/new value

The implementation of cmpxchg64() for the ARM v6 and v7 architecture
casts parameter 2 and 3 (the old and new 64bit values) to an unsigned
long before calling the atomic_cmpxchg64() function. This clears
the top 32 bits of the old and new values, resulting in the wrong
values being compare-exchanged. Luckily, this only appears to be used
for 64-bit sched_clock, which we don't (yet) have on ARM.

This bug was introduced by commit 3e0f5a15f500 ("ARM: 7404/1: cmpxchg64:
use atomic64 and local64 routines for cmpxchg64").

ARM: 7852/1: cmpxchg: implement barrier-less cmpxchg64_local

Our cmpxchg64 macros are wrappers around atomic64_cmpxchg. Whilst this is
great for code re-use, there is a case for barrier-less cmpxchg where it
is known to be safe (for example cmpxchg64_local and cmpxchg-based
lockrefs).

This patch introduces a 64-bit cmpxchg implementation specifically
for the cmpxchg64_* macros, so that it can be later used by the lockref
code.

ARM: 7984/1: prefetch: add prefetchw invocations for barriered atomics
After a bunch of benchmarking on the interaction between dmb and pldw,
it turns out that issuing the pldw *after* the dmb instruction can
give modest performance gains (~3% atomic_add_return improvement on a
dual A15).

This patch adds prefetchw invocations to our barriered atomic operations
including cmpxchg, test_and_xxx and futexes.

clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast receiver
Currently the broadcast mechanism used for timers is abstracted by a
function pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental
mechanism for broadcast is architecture-specific, this ties each
clock_event_device driver to a single architecture, even where the
driver is otherwise generic.

This patch adds a standard path for the receipt of timer broadcasts, so
drivers and/or architecture backends need not manage redundant lists of
timers for the purpose of routing broadcast timer ticks.

[tglx: Made the implementation depend on the config switch as well ]

clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function
Currently, the timer broadcast mechanism is defined by a function
pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental mechanism for
broadcast is architecture-specific, this means that clock_event_device
drivers cannot be shared across multiple architectures.

This patch adds an (optional) architecture-specific function for timer
tick broadcast, allowing drivers which may require broadcast
functionality to be shared across multiple architectures.

clockevents: Fix generic broadcast for FEAT_C3STOP

Commit 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function"
made tick_device_uses_broadcast set up the generic broadcast function
for dummy devices (where !tick_device_is_functional(dev)), but neglected
to set up the broadcast function for devices that stop in low power
states (with the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP flag).

When these devices enter low power states they will not have the generic
broadcast function assigned, and will bring down the system when an
attempt is made to broadcast to them.

This patch ensures that the broadcast function is also assigned for
devices which require broadcast in low power states.

arm: Use generic timer broadcast receiver
Currently, the ARM backend must maintain a redundant list of timers for
the purpose of centralising timer broadcast functionality. This prevents
sharing timer drivers across architectures.

This patch moves the pain of dealing with timer broadcasts to the core
clockevents tick broadcast code, which already maintains its own list
of timers.

time: remove the timecompare code.
This patch removes the timecompare code from the kernel. The top five
reasons to do this are:

1. There are no more users of this code.
2. The original idea was a bit weak.
3. The original author has disappeared.
4. The code was not general purpose but tuned to a particular hardware,
5. There are better ways to accomplish clock synchronization.

vsprintf: ignore %n again

This ignores %n in printf again, as was originally documented.
Implementing %n poses a greater security risk than utility, so it should
stay ignored.  To help anyone attempting to use %n, a warning will be
emitted if it is encountered.

Based on an earlier patch by Joe Perches.

Because %n was designed to write to pointers on the stack, it has been
frequently used as an attack vector when bugs are found that leak
user-controlled strings into functions that ultimately process format
strings.  While this class of bug can still be turned into an
information leak, removing %n eliminates the common method of elevating
such a bug into an arbitrary kernel memory writing primitive,
significantly reducing the danger of this class of bug.

For seq_file users that need to know the length of a written string for
padding, please see seq_setwidth() and seq_pad() instead.

Change from a fixed set of static log structures, to allocation
at init time into a list.  Return proper error numbers on log
allocation failure.
