A bunch of MTU-related cleanups in the network code.
First, there is the addition of the notion of a maximally-sized packet, which
is the MTU plus headers. This is used to size the skb that will receive a
packet. This allows ether_adjust_skb to go away, as it was used to resize the
skb after it was allocated.
Since the skb passed into the low-level read routine is no longer resized, and
possibly reallocated, there, they (and the write routines) don't need to get
an sk_buff **. They just need the sk_buff * now. The callers of
ether_adjust_skb still need to do the skb_put, so that's now inlined.
The MAX_PACKET definitions in most of the drivers are gone.
The set_mtu methods were all the same and did nothing, so they can be
removed.
The ethertap driver had a typo which doubled the size of the packet rather
than adding two bytes to it. It also wasn't defining its setup_size, causing
a zero-byte kmalloc and crash when the invalid pointer returned from kmalloc
was dereferenced.

Fix the passing of printk output back to the mconsole client. The existing
code was somewhat confused, accumulating output in a buffer, but writing it
out entirely whenever a new chunk was added. This is fixed.
The earlier include cleanups caused linux/sysrq.h to not be included - this is
fixed by adding the include back, under CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ.
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is also defaulted to on in defconfig.

This patch makes a number of simplifications enabled by the removal of
CHOOSE_MODE. There were lots of functions that looked like
int foo(args){
foo_skas(args);
}
The bodies of foo_skas are now folded into foo, and their declarations (and
sometimes entire header files) are deleted.
In addition, the union uml_pt_regs, which was a union between the tt and skas
register formats, is now a struct, with the tt-mode arm of the union being
removed.
It turns out that usr2_handler was unused, so it is gone.

The next stage after removing code which depends on CONFIG_MODE_TT is removing
the CHOOSE_MODE abstraction, which provided both compile-time and run-time
branching to either tt-mode or skas-mode code.
This patch removes choose-mode.h and all inclusions of it, and replaces all
CHOOSE_MODE invocations with the skas branch. This leaves a number of trivial
functions which will be dealt with in a later patch.
There are some changes in the uaccess and tls support which go somewhat beyond
this and eliminate some of the now-redundant functions.

This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.
This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.
The removal is done as follows:
remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
CONFIG_MODE_TT
get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
skas portions
replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents
There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context. These
are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.
As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
files that were changed. There are three such patches, one for each phase,
covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.
I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.
The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
inexplicable crashes under tt mode. Since that is no longer a problem, this
can now go in.
This patch:
Start getting rid of tt mode support.
This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
which depend on it.
CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
unconditionally.
The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
strictly deletions.

The previous console cleanup patch switched generic_read and generic_write
from calling os_{read,write}_file to calling read and write directly. Because
the calling convention is different, they now need to get any error from errno
rather than the return value. I did this for generic_read, but forgot about
generic_write.
While chasing some output corruption, I noticed that line_write was
unnecessarily calling flush_buffer, and deleted it. I don't understand why,
but the corruption disappeared. This is unneeded because there already is a
perfectly good mechanism for finding out when the host output device has some
room to write data - there is an interrupt that comes in when writes can
happen again. line_write calling flush_buffer seemed to just be an attempt to
opportunistically get some data out to the host.
I also made write_chan short-circuit calling into the host-level code for
zero-length writes. Calling libc write with a length of zero conflated write
not being able to write anything with asking it not to write anything. Better
to just cut it off as soon as possible.

This does a lot of cleanup on the UML console system. This patch should be
entirely non-functional.
The tidying is as follows:
header cleanups - the includes should be closer to minimal and complete
all printks now have a severity
lots of style fixes
fd_close is restructured a little in order to reduce the nesting
some functions were calling the os_* wrappers when they can
call libc directly
port_accept had a unnecessary variable
it also tested a pid unecessarily before killing it
some functions were made static
xterm_free is gone, as it was identical to generic_free

The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.
This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.
One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.
Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k
Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.

The previous patch which limited the number of sectors in a single request
to a COWed device was correct in concept, but the limit was implemented in
the wrong place.
By putting it in ubd_add, it covered the cases where the COWing was
specified on the command line. However, when the command line only has the
COW file specified, the fact that it's a COW file isn't known until it's
opened, so the limit is missed in these cases.
This patch moves the sector limit from ubd_add to ubd_open_dev.

Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.
As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

* 'request-queue-t' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
[BLOCK] Add request_queue_t and mark it deprecated
[BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedef

2.6.23-rc1 turned up another batch of references from non-__init code to
__init code. In most cases, these were missing __init annotations. In one
case (os_drop_memory), the annotation was present but wrong.
init_maps is __init, but for some reason was being very careful about the
mechanism by which it allocated memory, checking whether it was OK to use
kmalloc (at this point in the boot, it definitely isn't) and using either
alloc_bootmem_low_pages or kmalloc/vmalloc. So, the kmalloc/vmalloc code is
removed.

UML had two wrapper procedures for kmalloc, um_kmalloc and um_kmalloc_atomic
because the flag constants weren't available in userspace code.
kern_constants.h had made kernel constants available for a long time, so there
is no need for these wrappers any more. Rather, userspace code calls kmalloc
directly with the userspace versions of the gfp flags.
kmalloc isn't a real procedure, so I had to essentially copy the inline
wrapper around __kmalloc.
vmalloc also had its own wrapper for no good reason. This is now gone.

Cleanup of the SIGWINCH support.
Some code and comment reformatting.
The stack used for SIGWINCH threads was leaked. This is now fixed by storing
it with the pid and other information, and freeing it when the thread is
killed.
If something goes wrong with a WIGWINCH thread, and this is discovered in the
interrupt handler, the winch record would leak. It is now freed, except that
the IRQ isn't freed. This is hard to do from interrupt context. This has the
side-effect that the IRQ system maintains a reference to the freed structure,
but that shouldn't cause a problem since the descriptor is disabled.
register_winch_irq is now much better about cleaning up after an
initialization failure.

It is theoretically possible for a request to finish and be freed between
writing it to the I/O thread and updating the sector count. In this case, the
update will dereference a freed pointer.

Some network device cleanup.
When setup_etheraddr found a globally valid MAC being assigned to an
interface, it went ahead and used it rather than assigning a random MAC like
the other cases do. This isn't really an error like the others, but it seems
consistent to make it behave the same.
We were getting some duplicate kfree() in the error case in eth_configure
because platform_device_unregister frees buffers that the error cases
following tried to free again.
The pcap initialization routine wasn't doing the proper printk of its
information, causing a printk of the first part of that line to be
unterminated by a newline.
The pcap code had a bunch of style violations, which are now fixed.
pcap_setup wasn't returning false when it detected an unrecognized
option.
The printks in pcap_user all got UM_KERN_BLAH prepended to their
format strings.
pcap_remove now checks for a non-NULL pcap structure before it calls
pcap_close.

Instead of writing entire structures between UML and the I/O thread, we send
pointers. This cuts down on the amount of data being copied and possibly
allows more requests to be pending between the two.
This requires that the requests be kmalloced and freed instead of living on
the stack.

Send as many I/O requests to the I/O thread as possible, even though it will
still only handle one at a time. This provides an opportunity to reduce
latency by starting one request before the previous one has been finished in
the driver.
Request handling is somewhat modernized by requesting sg pieces of a request
and handling them separately, finishing off the entire request after all the
pieces are done.
When a request queue stalls, normally because its pipe to the I/O thread is
full, it is put on the restart list. This list is processed by starting up
the queues on it whenever there is some indication that progress might be
possible again. Currently, this happens in the driver interrupt routine.
Some requests have been finished, so there is likely to be room in the pipe
again.
This almost doubles throughput when copying data between devices, but made no
noticable difference on anything else I tried.

This patch starts the removal of a very old, very broken piece of code. This
stems from the problem of passing a userspace buffer into read() or write() on
the host. If that buffer had not yet been faulted in, read and write will
return -EFAULT.
To avoid this problem, the solution was to fault the buffer in before the
system call by touching the pages that hold the buffer by doing a copy-user of
a byte to each page. This is obviously bogus, but it does usually work, in tt
mode, since the kernel and process are in the same address space and userspace
addresses can be accessed directly in the kernel.
In skas mode, where the kernel and process are in separate address spaces, it
is completely bogus because the userspace address, which is invalid in the
kernel, is passed into the system call instead of the corresponding physical
address, which would be valid. Here, it appears that this code, on every host
read() or write(), tries to fault in a random process page. This doesn't seem
to cause any correctness problems, but there is a performance impact. This
patch, and the ones following, result in a 10-15% performance gain on a kernel
build.
This code can't be immediately tossed out because when it is, you can't log
in. Apparently, there is some code in the console driver which depends on
this somehow.
However, we can start removing it by switching the code which does I/O using
kernel addresses to using plain read() and write(). This patch introduces
os_read_file_k and os_write_file_k for use with kernel buffers and converts
all call locations which use obvious kernel buffers to use them. These
include I/O using buffers which are local variables which are on the stack or
kmalloc-ed. Later patches will handle the less obvious cases, followed by a
mass conversion back to the original interface.

Define release methods for the ubd and net drivers. They contain as much of
the remove methods as make sense. All error checking must have already been
done as well as anything else that might be holding a reference on the device
kobject.

userspace code used to have to call the kernelspace function page_size() in
order to determine the value of the kernel's PAGE_SIZE. Since this is now
available directly from kern_constants.h as UM_KERN_PAGE_SIZE, page_size() can
be deleted and calls changed to use the constant.

To look at users I did:
$ find arch/um/ include/asm-um -name '*.[ch]'|xargs grep -r 'net_kern\.h'
+-l|xargs grep '\<user\>'
Most users just cast user to the appropriate pointer, the remaining ones are
fixed here. In net_kern.c, I'm almost sure that save trick is not needed
anymore, but I've not verified it.

Avoid using the temporary buffer introduced by previous patch to hold the
device name.
Btw, avoid leaking device on an error path. Other error paths may need
cleanup.
