possible reason: unannotated irqs-on.
irq event stamp: 3
hardirqs last  enabled at (2): [<c0059bb0>] finish_task_switch+0x48/0xb0
hardirqs last disabled at (3): [<c002f0b0>] ret_slow_syscall+0xc/0x1c
softirqs last  enabled at (0): [<c005f3e0>] copy_process+0x394/0xe5c
softirqs last disabled at (0): [<(null)>] (null)

Fix this by ensuring that the lockdep interrupt state is manipulated in
the appropriate places.  We essentially treat userspace as an entirely
separate environment which isn't relevant to lockdep (lockdep doesn't
monitor userspace.)  We don't tell lockdep that IRQs will be enabled
in that environment.

Instead, when creating kernel threads (which is a rare event compared
to entering/leaving userspace) we have to update the lockdep state.  Do
this by starting threads with IRQs disabled, and in the kthread helper,
tell lockdep that IRQs are enabled, and enable them.

This provides lockdep with a consistent view of the current IRQ state
in kernel space.

This also revert portions of 0d928b0b
which didn't fix the problem.

      ARM: 6212/1: atomic ops: add memory constraints to inline asm · 398aa668
      Will Deacon authored 
      Currently, the 32-bit and 64-bit atomic operations on ARM do not
include memory constraints in the inline assembly blocks. In the
case of barrier-less operations [for example, atomic_add], this
means that the compiler may constant fold values which have actually
been modified by a call to an atomic operation.

This issue can be observed in the atomic64_test routine in
<kernel root>/lib/atomic64_test.c:

00000000 <test_atomic64>:
   0:	e1a0c00d 	mov	ip, sp
   4:	e92dd830 	push	{r4, r5, fp, ip, lr, pc}
   8:	e24cb004 	sub	fp, ip, #4
   c:	e24dd008 	sub	sp, sp, #8
  10:	e24b3014 	sub	r3, fp, #20
  14:	e30d000d 	movw	r0, #53261	; 0xd00d
  18:	e3011337 	movw	r1, #4919	; 0x1337
  1c:	e34c0001 	movt	r0, #49153	; 0xc001
  20:	e34a1aa3 	movt	r1, #43683	; 0xaaa3
  24:	e16300f8 	strd	r0, [r3, #-8]!
  28:	e30c0afe 	movw	r0, #51966	; 0xcafe
  2c:	e30b1eef 	movw	r1, #48879	; 0xbeef
  30:	e34d0eaf 	movt	r0, #57007	; 0xdeaf
  34:	e34d1ead 	movt	r1, #57005	; 0xdead
  38:	e1b34f9f 	ldrexd	r4, [r3]
  3c:	e1a34f90 	strexd	r4, r0, [r3]
  40:	e3340000 	teq	r4, #0
  44:	1afffffb 	bne	38 <test_atomic64+0x38>
  48:	e59f0004 	ldr	r0, [pc, #4]	; 54 <test_atomic64+0x54>
  4c:	e3a0101e 	mov	r1, #30
  50:	ebfffffe 	bl	0 <__bug>
  54:	00000000 	.word	0x00000000

The atomic64_set (0x38-0x44) writes to the atomic64_t, but the
compiler doesn't see this, assumes the test condition is always
false and generates an unconditional branch to __bug. The rest of the
test is optimised away.

This patch adds suitable memory constraints to the atomic operations on ARM
to ensure that the compiler is informed of the correct data hazards. We have
to use the "Qo" constraints to avoid hitting the GCC anomaly described at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44492 , where the compiler
makes assumptions about the writeback in the addressing mode used by the
inline assembly. These constraints forbid the use of auto{inc,dec} addressing
modes, so it doesn't matter if we don't use the operand exactly once.

      ARM: 6211/1: atomic ops: fix register constraints for atomic64_add_unless · 068de8d1
      Will Deacon authored 
      The atomic64_add_unless function compares an atomic variable with
a given value and, if they are not equal, adds another given value
to the atomic variable. The function returns zero if the addition
did not occur and non-zero otherwise.

On ARM, the return value is initialised to 1 in C code. Inline assembly
code then performs the atomic64_add_unless operation, setting the
return value to 0 iff the addition does not occur. This means that
when the addition *does* occur, the value of ret must be preserved
across the inline assembly and therefore requires a "+r" constraint
rather than the current one of "=&r".

Thanks to Nicolas Pitre for helping to spot this.
