These stripping patches has caused a set of issues:

1) People have reported compatibility issues with binutils due to
   lack of support for `--strip-unneeded-symbols' with objcopy 2.15.92.0.2
   Reported by: Wenji
2) ccache and distcc no longer works as expeced
   Reported by: Ted, Roland, + others
3) The installed modules increased a lot in size
   Reported by: Ted, Davej + others

baf48f6577 softlock: fix false panic which can occur if softlockup_thresh is reduced
At run-time, if softlockup_thresh is changed to a much lower value,
touch_timestamp is likely to be much older than the new softlock_thresh.

This will cause a false softlockup to be detected. If softlockup_panic
is enabled, the system will panic.

The fix is to touch all watchdogs before changing softlockup_thresh.

37a76bd4f1 async: fix __lowest_in_progress()
At 37000 feet somewhere near Greenland I woke up from a half-sleep with the
realisation that __lowest_in_progress() is buggy. After landing I checked
and there were indeed 2 problems with it; this patch fixes both:
* The order of the list checks was wrong
* The locking was not correct.

01e3eb8227 Revert "sched: improve preempt debugging"
This reverts commit 7317d7b87edb41a9135e30be1ec3f7ef817c53dd.

This has been reported (and bisected) by Alexey Zaytsev and
Kamalesh Babulal to produce annoying warnings during bootup
on both x86 and powerpc.

kernel_locked() is not a valid test in IRQ context (we update the
BKL's ->lock_depth and the preempt count separately and non-atomicalyy),
so we cannot put it into the generic preempt debugging checks which
can run in IRQ contexts too.

53ce3d9564 smp_call_function_single(): be slightly less stupid
If you do

	smp_call_function_single(expression-with-side-effects, ...)

then expression-with-side-effects never gets evaluated on UP builds.

As always, implementing it in C is the correct thing to do.

While we're there, uninline it for size and possible header dependency
reasons.

And create a new kernel/up.c, as a place in which to put
uniprocessor-specific code and storage.  It should mirror kernel/smp.c.

62ea9ceb17 cpumask: fix CONFIG_NUMA=y sched.c
Impact: fix panic on ia64 with NR_CPUS=1024

struct sched_domain is now a dangling structure; where we really want
static ones, we need to use static_sched_domain.

(As the FIXME in this file says, cpumask_var_t would be better, but
this code is hairy enough without trying to add initialization code to
the right places).
