implementation of SMP in the Linux kernel - not some notes on kernel
configuration and building trivialities noone would search at this

Linus:
On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like
depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32
really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.
It would be much better to do
depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
have a
bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
default y
in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...
Changelog:
Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
it, I realize that I should have told you to just use
config KPROBES_SUPPORT
def_bool y
instead, which is a bit denser.
We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
what "def_bool" is there for...
- Use HAVE_KPROBES
- Use a select
- Yet another update :
Moving to HAVE_* now.
- Update ARM for kprobes support.

The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.
Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.
Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).

This was caught and identified by Greg Onufer.
Since we setup the 256M/4M bitmap table after taking over the trap
table, it's possible for some 4M mapping to get loaded in the TLB
beforhand which later will be 256M mappings.
This can cause illegal TLB multiple-match conditions. Fix this by
setting up the bitmap before we take over the trap table.
Next, __flush_tlb_all() was not doing anything on hypervisor
platforms. Fix by adding sun4v_mmu_demap_all() and calling it.

When CONFIG_BUG is turned off, the standard trick of:
switch (x) {
case X:
...
case Y:
...
default:
BUG();
};
to mark impossible cases does not work because BUG() evalutes
to nothing and thus GCC just sees a fallthrough code path.

this case.

Quoting Randy:
"It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
20-something times. Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.
However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
_one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."
