2b1c6bd77d generic compat_sys_ustat
Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but
currently only x86 and mips provide one.  Add a generic compat_sys_ustat
and switch all architectures over to it.  Instead of doing various
user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as
it's trivial.  This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann.

Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes
stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of
data writen by the syscall.

Remove __attribute__((weak)) from common code sys_pipe implemantation.
IA64, ALPHA, SUPERH (32bit) and SPARC (32bit) have own implemantations
with the same name. Just rename them.
For sys_pipe2 there is no architecture specific implementation.

f7a5000f7a compat: move cp_compat_stat to common code
struct stat / compat_stat is the same on all architectures, so
cp_compat_stat should be, too.

Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some
high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the
SET_UID/SET_GID that expands to the correct one anyway.

This patch replaces the arch-specific cp_compat_stat implementations with
a common one based on the x86-64 one.

ed8cae8ba0 flag parameters: pipe
This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value.  This patch implements
the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag.  I did not add support for the new
syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation.  I
think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
implementation but that's up to them.

The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags.  I did that instead of changing
all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
I would probably screw up changing the assembly code.  To avoid breaking code
do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags.  Once all callers are
changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

Huang, Xiaolan
839052d27e [IA64] fix personality(PER_LINUX32) performance issue
The patch aims to fix a performance issue for the syscall
personality(PER_LINUX32).

On IA-64 box, the syscall personality (PER_LINUX32) has poor performance
because it failed to find the Linux/x86 execution domain. Then it tried
to load the kernel module however it failed always and it used the default
execution domain PER_LINUX instead. Requesting kernel modules is very
expensive. It caused the performance issue. (see the function
lookup_exec_domain in kernel/exec_domain.c).

To resolve the issue, execution domain Linux/x86 is always registered in
initialization time for IA-64 architecture.

b64f34cdfe [IA64] VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING (accurate cpu time accounting)
This patch implements VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING for ia64,
which enable us to use more accurate cpu time accounting.

The VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is an item of kernel config, which s390
and powerpc arch have.  By turning this config on, these archs
change the mechanism of cpu time accounting from tick-sampling
based one to state-transition based one.

The state-transition based accounting is done by checking time
(cycle counter in processor) at every state-transition point,
such as entrance/exit of kernel, interrupt, softirq etc.
The difference between point to point is the actual time consumed
during in the state. There is no doubt about that this value is
more accurate than that of tick-sampling based accounting.

5b20cd80b4 x86: replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE #define
Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which
allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended
floating point' implementations in coredumps.  New note types can now be
added with an appropriate #define.

This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all
current users so there's are no change in behaviour.

This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the Altivec/VMX
state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and for the SPE
(signal processing extension) state that some embedded PowerPC cpus from
Freescale have.

20c2df83d2 mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

b6a2fea393 mm: variable length argument support
Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.

We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space.  Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.

It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.

b716395e2b diskquota: 32bit quota tools on 64bit architectures
OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered the problem with 32bit quota tools
working on 64bit architectures.  In 2.6.10 kernel sys32_quotactl() function
was replaced by sys_quotactl() with the comment "sys_quotactl seems to be
32/64bit clean, enable it for 32bit" However this isn't right.  Look at
if_dqblk structure:

struct if_dqblk {
        __u64 dqb_bhardlimit;
        __u64 dqb_bsoftlimit;
        __u64 dqb_curspace;
        __u64 dqb_ihardlimit;
        __u64 dqb_isoftlimit;
        __u64 dqb_curinodes;
        __u64 dqb_btime;
        __u64 dqb_itime;
        __u32 dqb_valid;
};

For 32 bit quota tools sizeof(if_dqblk) == 0x44.
But for 64 bit kernel its size is 0x48, 'cause of alignment!
Thus we got a problem. Attached patch reintroduce sys32_quotactl() function,
that handles this and related situations.

60bfba7e85 PIE randomization
This patch is using mmap()'s randomization functionality in such a way that
it maps the main executable of (specially compiled/linked -pie/-fpie)
ET_DYN binaries onto a random address (in cases in which mmap() is allowed
to perform a randomization).

Origin of this patch is in exec-shield
(http://people.redhat.com/mingo/exec-shield/)

66761522a7 [IA64] fix stack alignment for ia32 signal handlers
This fixes the setup of the alignment of the signal frame, so that all
signal handlers are run with a properly aligned stack frame.

The current code "over-aligns" the stack pointer so that the stack frame
is effectively always mis-aligned by 4 bytes.  But what we really want
is that on function entry ((sp + 4) & 15) == 0, which matches what would
happen if the stack were aligned before a "call" instruction.

i386 and x86_64 are already fixed by d347f37227

d4d23add3a [PATCH] Common compat_sys_sysinfo
I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same
sys32_sysinfo...  except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of
the uptime.  So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit.
Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it
would be the best tested.

This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but
instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.
