Currently the maximum rate for peripheral clock is calculated based on a typical 133MHz MCK. The maximum frequency is defined in the datasheet as a ratio to MCK.

Pull-ups for SAM9 UART/USART TX lines were disabled in a previous commit. However, several chips in the SAM9 family require pull-ups to prevent the TX lines from falling (and causing an endless break condition) when the transceiver is disabled. From the SAM9G20 datasheet, 32.5.1: "To prevent the TXD line from falling when the USART is disabled, the use of an internal pull up is mandatory.". This commit reenables the pull-ups for all chips having that sentence in their datasheets.

Pull orangefs update from Mike Marshall: "orangefs: posix open permission checking... Orangefs has no open, and orangefs checks file permissions on each file access. Posix requires that file permissions be checked on open and nowhere else. Orangefs-through-the-kernel needs to seem posix compliant. The VFS opens files, even if the filesystem provides no method. We can see if a file was successfully opened for read and or for write by looking at file->f_mode. When writes are flowing from the page cache, file is no longer available. We can trust the VFS to have checked file->f_mode before writing to the page cache. The mode of a file might change between when it is opened and IO commences, or it might be created with an arbitrary mode. We'll make sure we don't hit EACCES during the IO stage by using UID 0" [ This is "posixish", but not a great solution in the long run, since a proper secure network server shouldn't really trust the client like this.

pipe_wait() may be simple, but since it relies on the pipe lock, it means that we have to do the wakeup while holding the lock. That's unfortunate, because the very first thing the waked entity will want to do is to get the pipe lock for itself. So get rid of the pipe_wait() usage by simply releasing the pipe lock, doing the wakeup (if required) and then using wait_event_interruptible() to wait on the right condition instead. wait_event_interruptible() handles races on its own by comparing the wakeup condition before and after adding itself to the wait queue, so you can use an optimistic unlocked condition for it.

This code is ancient, and goes back to when we only had a single page for the pipe buffers. The exact history is hidden in the mists of time (ie "before git", and in fact predates the BK repository too). At that long-ago point in time, it actually helped to try to merge big back-and-forth pipe reads and writes, and not limit pipe reads to the single pipe buffer in length just because that was all we had at a time. However, since then we've expanded the pipe buffers to multiple pages, and this logic really doesn't seem to make sense. And a lot of it is somewhat questionable (ie "hmm, the user asked for a non-blocking read, but we see that there's a writer pending, so let's wait anyway to get the extra data that the writer will have"). But more importantly, it makes the "go to sleep" logic much less obvious, and considering the wakeup issues we've had, I want to make for less of those kinds of things.

This is the read side version of the previous commit: it simplifies the logic to only wake up waiting writers when necessary, and makes sure to use a synchronous wakeup. This time not so much for GNU make jobserver reasons (that pipe never fills up), but simply to get the writer going quickly again. A bit less verbose commentary this time, if only because I assume that the write side commentary isn't going to be ignored if you touch this code.

The pipe rework ends up having been extra painful, partly becaused of actual bugs with ordering and caching of the pipe state, but also because of subtle performance issues. In particular, the pipe rework caused the kernel build to inexplicably slow down. The reason turns out to be that the GNU make jobserver (which limits the parallelism of the build) uses a pipe to implement a "token" system: a parallel submake will read a character from the pipe to get the job token before starting a new job, and will write a character back to the pipe when it is done. The overall job limit is thus easily controlled by just writing the appropriate number of initial token characters into the pipe. But to work well, that really means that the old behavior of write wakeups being synchronous (WF_SYNC) is very important - when the pipe writer wakes up a reader, we want the reader to actually get scheduled immediately. Otherwise you lose the parallelism of the build. The pipe rework lost that synchronous wakeup on write, and we had clearly all forgotten the reasons and rules for it. This rewrites the pipe write wakeup logic to do the required Wsync wakeups, but also clarifies the logic and avoids extraneous wakeups. It also ends up addign a number of comments about what oit does and why, so that we hopefully don't end up forgetting about this next time we change this code.
