Just about every architecture defines some macros to do operations on pfns.
They're all virtually identical. This patch consolidates all of them.
One minor glitch is that at least i386 uses them in a very skeletal header
file. To keep away from #include dependency hell, I stuck the new
definitions in a new, isolated header.
Of all of the implementations, sh64 is the only one that varied by a bit.
It used some masks to ensure that any sign-extension got ripped away before
the arithmetic is done. This has been posted to that sh64 maintainers and
the development list.
Compiles on x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64.

This fixes a race in the starting of write_sigio_thread. Previously, some of
the data needed by the thread was initialized after the clone. If the thread
ran immediately, it would see the uninitialized data, including an empty
pollfds, which would cause it to hang.
We move the data initialization to before the clone, and adjust the error
paths and cleanup accordingly.

This fixes a process segfault where a signal was being delivered such that a
new stack page needed to be allocated to hold the signal frame. This was
tripping some logic in the page fault handler which wouldn't allocate the page
if the faulting address was more that 32 bytes lower than the current stack
pointer. Since a signal frame is greater than 32 bytes, this exercised that
case.
It's fixed by updating the SP in the pt_regs before starting to copy the
signal frame. Since those are the registers that will be copied on to the
stack, we have to be careful to put the original SP, not the new one which
points to the signal frame, on the stack.

For security reasons, UML in is_syscall() needs to have access to code in
vsyscall-page. The current implementation grants this access by explicitly
allowing access to vsyscall in access_ok_skas(). With this change,
copy_from_user() may be used to read the code. Ptrace access to vsyscall-page
for debugging already was implemented in get_user_pages() by mainline. In
i386, copy_from_user can't access vsyscall-page, but returns EFAULT.
To make UML behave as i386 does, I changed is_syscall to use
access_process_vm(current) to read the code from vsyscall-page. This doesn't
hurt security, but simplifies the code and prepares implementation of
stub-vmas.

Trivial conflict in arch/ppc/boot/Makefile manually fixed up
Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different
code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP.
The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug.
With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and
when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number
of CPUs goes up to 2.
Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is
patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released
afterwards.
The changes in detail:
* The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file,
the SMP alternatives code is added there.
* The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel:
.smp_altinstructions
like .altinstructions, also contains a list
of alt_instr structs.
.smp_altinstr_replacement
like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to
save original instruction before replaving it.
.smp_locks
list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed
out on UP.
The first two are used to replace more complex instruction
sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible
to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling
them as special case the table sizes become much smaller.
* The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they
can be free if they are not needed.
* Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and
use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

When the user specifies both a COW file and its backing file, if the previous
backing file is not found, currently UML tries again to use it and fails.
This can be corrected by changing same_backing_files() return value in that
case, so that the caller will try to change the COW file to point to the new
location, as already done in other cases.
Additionally, given the change in the meaning of the func, change its name,
invert its return value, so all values are inverted except when
stat(from_cow,&buf2) fails. And add some comments and two minor bugfixes -
remove a fd leak (return err rather than goto out) and a repeated check.

In this patch, a better but more intrusive solution is implemented, i.e. hold

over the culprit allocation.
Additionally, while at it, add a missing kfree in the failure path, and make
sure that if we fail in forking, write_sigio_pid is -1 and not, say, -ENOMEM.

In this error path, when the interface has had a problem, we call dev_close(),
which is disallowed for two reasons:
*) takes again the UML internal spinlock, inside the ->stop method of this
device
*) can be called in process context only, while we're in interrupt context.
I've also thought that calling dev_close() may be a wrong policy to follow,
but it's not up to me to decide that.
However, we may end up with multiple dev_close() queued on the same device.
But the initial test for (dev->flags & IFF_UP) makes this harmless, though -
and dev_close() is supposed to care about races with itself. So there's no
harm in delaying the shutdown, IMHO.
Something to mark the interface as "going to shutdown" would be appreciated,
but dev_deactivate has the same problems as dev_close(), so we can't use it
either.
