When attaching to a stopped process, the RSE must be explicitly
synced to user-space, so the debugger can read the correct values.

This is base kernel patch for ptrace RSE bug. It's basically a backport
from the utrace RSE patch I sent out several weeks ago. please review.
when a thread is stopped (ptraced), debugger might change thread's user
stack (change memory directly), and we must avoid the RSE stored in
kernel to override user stack (user space's RSE is newer than kernel's
in the case). To workaround the issue, we copy kernel RSE to user RSE
before the task is stopped, so user RSE has updated data. we then copy
user RSE to kernel after the task is resummed from traced stop and
kernel will use the newer RSE to return to user.

Add the primitives cmpxchg_local, cmpxchg64 and cmpxchg64_local to ia64. They
use cmpxchg_acq as underlying macro, just like the already existing ia64
cmpxchg().
Changelog:
ia64 cmpxchg_local coding style fix
Quoting Keith Owens:
As a matter of coding style, I prefer
#define cmpxchg_local cmpxchg
#define cmpxchg64_local cmpxchg64
Which makes it absolutely clear that they are the same code. With your
patch, humans have to do a string compare of two defines to see if they
are the same.
Note cmpxchg is *not* a performance win vs interrupt disable / enable on IA64.

struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.
Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

The pgd/pud/pmd/pte page table allocation functions get a mm_struct pointer as
first argument. The free functions do not get the mm_struct argument. This
is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm
argument is needed on the free function as well.

The following replaces the earlier patches sent. It should address
David Rientjes's comments, and has been compile tested on all the
architectures that it touches, save for parisc.
For the /proc/<pid>/pagemap code[1], we need to able to query how
much virtual address space a particular task has. The trick is
that we do it through /proc and can't use TASK_SIZE since it
references "current" on some arches. The process opening the
/proc file might be a 32-bit process opening a 64-bit process's
pagemap file.
x86_64 already has a TASK_SIZE_OF() macro:
#define TASK_SIZE_OF(child) ((test_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_IA32)) ? IA32_PAGE_OFFSET : TASK_SIZE64)
I'd like to have that for other architectures. So, add it
for all the architectures that actually use "current" in
their TASK_SIZE. For the others, just add a quick #define
in sched.h to use plain old TASK_SIZE.

- I removed the unnecessary barrier() from __clear_bit_unlock().
ia64_st4_rel_nta() makes sure all the modifications are globally
seen before the bit is seen to be off.
- I made __clear_bit() modeled after __set_bit() and __change_bit().
- I corrected some comments sating that a memory barrier is provided,
yet in reality, it is the acquisition side of the memory barrier only.
- I corrected some comments, e.g. test_and_clear_bit() was peaking
about "bit to set".

Tony says:
| The CONFIG_SMP=n path in ia64 makes quite radical changes ... rather
| than putting all the per-cpu stuff into the top 64K of address space
| and providing a per-cpu TLB mapping for that range to a different
| physical address ... it just makes all the per-cpu stuff link as ordinary
| variables in .data.
the new generic percpu code got confused about this as PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES
was defined even on UP, so it picked up that small memory model - which
was not possible to get linked. The right fix is to only define that
on SMP. This resolved the build failures in my cross-compiling environment.
also link these variables into the .percpu section even on UP - some
assembly code has offset dependencies. (such as GET_IA64_MCA_DATA() in
arch/ia64/kernel/mca_asm.S)

Aviod TLB flush IPIs during C3 states by voluntary leave_mm()
before entering C3.
The performance impact of TLB flush on C3 should not be significant with
respect to C3 wakeup latency. Also, CPUs tend to flush TLB in hardware while in
C3 anyways.
On a 8 logical CPU system, running make -j2, the number of tlbflush IPIs goes
down from 40 per second to ~ 0. Total number of interrupts during the run
of this workload was ~1200 per second, which makes it ~3% savings in wakeups.
There was no measurable performance or power impact however.

Clean up the process for presenting the "physical id" field in
/proc/cpuinfo.
- remove global smp_num_cpucores, as it is mostly useless
- remove check_for_logical_procs(), since we do the same
functionality in identify_siblings()
- reflow logic in identify_siblings(). If an older CPU
does not implement PAL_LOGICAL_TO_PHYSICAL, we may still
be able to get useful information from SAL_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO
- in identify_siblings(), threads/cores are a property of
the CPU, not the platform
- remove useless printk's about multi-core / thread
capability in identify_siblings(), as that information
is readily available in /proc/cpuinfo, and printing for
the BSP only adds little value
- smp_num_siblings is now meaningful if any CPU in the
system supports threads, not just the BSP
- expose "physical id" field, even on CPUs that are not
multi-core / multi-threaded (as long as we have a valid
value). Now we know what sockets Madisons live in too.

Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned

- Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located
at sg + 1.
- Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link
with the two low bits masked off.
- Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
NULL when passed such an entry.
It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get

dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) were the earliest attempt on a generalized
cache managment API for I/O purposes. Originally it was basically the raw
MIPS low level cache API exported to the entire world. The API has
suffered from a lack of documentation, was not very widely used unlike it's
more modern brothers and can easily be replaced by dma_cache_sync. So
remove it rsp. turn the surviving bits back into an arch private API, as
discussed on linux-arch.

This patch set frees the restriction that makedumpfile users should install a
vmlinux file (including the debugging information) into each system.
makedumpfile command is the dump filtering feature for kdump. It creates a
small dumpfile by filtering unnecessary pages for the analysis. To
distinguish unnecessary pages, it needs a vmlinux file including the debugging
information. These days, the debugging package becomes a huge file, and it is
hard to install it into each system.
To solve the problem, kdump developers discussed it at lkml and kexec-ml. As
the result, we reached the conclusion that necessary information for dump
filtering (called "vmcoreinfo") should be embedded into the first kernel file
and it should be accessed through /proc/vmcore during the second kernel.

Dan Aloni created the patch set for the above implementation.

And I updated it for multi architectures and memory models.

DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED was used for semaphores used as completions and we've
got rid of them. Well, except for one in libusual that the maintainer
explicitly wants to keep as semaphore. So convert that useage to an
explicit sema_init and kill of DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED so that new code is
reminded to use a completion.

Introduce architecture dependent kretprobe blacklists to prohibit users
from inserting return probes on the function in which kprobes can be
inserted but kretprobes can not.
This patch also removes "__kprobes" mark from "__switch_to" on x86_64 and
registers "__switch_to" to the blacklist on x86-64, because that mark is to
prohibit user from inserting only kretprobe.

Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after*
set_pte(). This is too late. This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and
add modfied set_pte() for flushing if necessary.
This patch flush icache of a page when
new pte has exec bit.
&& new pte has present bit
&& new pte is user's page.
&& (old *ptep is not present
|| new pte's pfn is not same to old *ptep's ptn)
&& new pte's page has no Pg_arch_1 bit.
Pg_arch_1 is set when a page is cache consistent.
I think this condition checks are much easier to understand than considering
"Where sync_icache_dcache() should be inserted ?".
pte_user() for ia64 was removed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/12/67 as
clean-up. So, I added it again.
