The kernel module testcase (lib/test_user_copy.c) exhibited a kernel
crash on parisc if the parameters for copy_from_user were reversed
("illegal reversed copy_to_user" testcase).
Fix this potential crash by checking the fault handler if the faulting

We want to avoid the kernel module loader to create function pointers
for the kernel fixup routines of get_user() and put_user(). Changing
the external reference from function type to int type fixes this.
This unbreaks exception handling for get_user() and put_user() when
called from a kernel module.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

secure_computing() returned -1.
Additionally we need to sign-extend the syscall number from signed 32bit to

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.
Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:
- Initial implementation of the state machine
- Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
not on some random processor
- Replaces busy loop waiting with completions
- Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"
More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
"What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?
- Asymmetry
The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.
- Largely undocumented dependencies
While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
express dependencies without any documentation why.
- Control processor driven
Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring the rest up
- All or nothing approach
There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is
really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of
time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid
as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.
- Minimal debuggability
Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.
- Notifier [un]registering is tedious
To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
do it itself. That also includes error rollback.
What's the new design?
The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except
for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
stopped and reversed at almost all states.
So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring itself up
The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
other mechanism.
The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after
the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.
There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.
The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on
teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
off completely.
This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
core level. This includes the following:
- Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
ordering and prioritization can be expressed.
- Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks
This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
the state machine array.
For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
explicit hotplug state.
If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
previous state.
- Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.
This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and
therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.
- Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
processor:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
wait for boot
bring itself up
Signal completion to control cpu
In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance
is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.
This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything
over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.
I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a
mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
testable behaviour"

Mike Frysinger reported that his ptrace testcase showed strange
behaviour on parisc: It was not possible to avoid a syscall and the
return value of a syscall couldn't be changed.
To modify a syscall number, we were missing to save the new syscall
number to gr20 which is then picked up later in assembly again.
The effect that the return value couldn't be changed is a side-effect of
another bug in the assembly code. When a process is ptraced, userspace
expects each syscall to report entrance and exit of a syscall. If a
syscall number was given which doesn't exist, we jumped to the normal
syscall exit code instead of informing userspace that the (non-existant)
syscall exits. This unexpected behaviour confuses userspace and thus the
bug was misinterpreted as if we can't change the return value.
This patch fixes both problems and was tested on 64bit kernel with
32bit userspace.

Let the non boot cpus call into idle with the corresponding hotplug state, so
the hotplug core can handle the further bringup. That's a first step to
convert the boot side of the hotplugged cpus to do all the synchronization
with the other side through the state machine. For now it'll only start the
hotplug thread and kick the full bringup of the cpu.

commit 5f0e9b4 ("parisc: Remove unused pcibios_init_bus()")
Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
On parisc syscalls which are interrupted by signals sometimes failed to
restart and instead returned -ENOSYS which in the worst case lead to
userspace crashes.
A similiar problem existed on MIPS and was fixed by commit e967ef02
("MIPS: Fix restart of indirect syscalls").
On parisc the current syscall restart code assumes that all syscall
callers load the syscall number in the delay slot of the ble
instruction. That's how it is e.g. done in the unistd.h header file:
ble 0x100(%sr2, %r0)
ldi #syscall_nr, %r20
Because of that assumption the current code never restored %r20 before
returning to userspace.
This assumption is at least not true for code which uses the glibc
syscall() function, which instead uses this syntax:
ble 0x100(%sr2, %r0)
copy regX, %r20
where regX depend on how the compiler optimizes the code and register
usage.
This patch fixes this problem by adding code to analyze how the syscall
number is loaded in the delay branch and - if needed - copy the syscall
number to regX prior returning to userspace for the syscall restart.

A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned. Furthermore the
checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being
calculated and written at runtime.
Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K
page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the
kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write).
But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this
makes things harder.
So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write
the checksum before we map the page read-only.

When detecting a serial port on newer PA-RISC machines (with iosapic) we have a
long way to go to find the right IRQ line, registering it, then registering the
serial port and the irq handler for the serial port. During this phase spurious
interrupts for the serial port may happen which then crashes the kernel because
the action handler might not have been set up yet.
So, basically it's a race condition between the serial port hardware and the
CPU which sets up the necessary fields in the irq sructs. The main reason for
this race is, that we unmask the serial port irqs too early without having set
up everything properly before (which isn't easily possible because we need the
IRQ number to register the serial ports).
This patch is a work-around for this problem. It adds checks to the CPU irq
handler to verify if the IRQ action field has been initialized already. If not,
we just skip this interrupt (which isn't critical for a serial port at bootup).
The real fix would probably involve rewriting all PA-RISC specific IRQ code
(for CPU, IOSAPIC, GSC and EISA) to use IRQ domains with proper parenting of
the irq chips and proper irq enabling along this line.
This bug has been in the PA-RISC port since the beginning, but the crashes
happened very rarely with currently used hardware. But on the latest machine
which I bought (a C8000 workstation), which uses the fastest CPUs (4 x PA8900,
1GHz) and which has the largest possible L1 cache size (64MB each), the kernel
crashed at every boot because of this race. So, without this patch the machine
would currently be unuseable.
For the record, here is the flow logic:
1. serial_init_chip() in 8250_gsc.c calls iosapic_serial_irq().
2. iosapic_serial_irq() calls txn_alloc_irq() to find the irq.
3. iosapic_serial_irq() calls cpu_claim_irq() to register the CPU irq
4. cpu_claim_irq() unmasks the CPU irq (which it shouldn't!)
5. serial_init_chip() then registers the 8250 port.
Problems:
- In step 4 the CPU irq shouldn't have been registered yet, but after step 5
- If serial irq happens between 4 and 5 have finished, the kernel will crash

The increased use of pdtlb/pitlb instructions seemed to increase the
frequency of random segmentation faults building packages. Further, we
had a number of cases where TLB inserts would repeatedly fail and all
forward progress would stop. The Haskell ghc package caused a lot of
trouble in this area. The final indication of a race in pte handling was
this syslog entry on sibaris (C8000):

Note that the pte value is 0 except for the accessed bit 0x100. This bit
shouldn't be set without the present bit.
It should be noted that the madvise system call is probably a trigger for many
of the random segmentation faults.
In looking at the kernel code, I found the following problems:
1) The pte_clear define didn't take TLB lock when clearing a pte.
2) We didn't test pte present bit inside lock in exception support.
3) The pte and tlb locks needed to merged in order to ensure consistency
between page table and TLB. This also has the effect of serializing TLB
broadcasts on SMP systems.
The attached change implements the above and a few other tweaks to try
to improve performance. Based on the timing code, TLB purges are very
slow (e.g., ~ 209 cycles per page on rp3440). Thus, I think it
beneficial to test the split_tlb variable to avoid duplicate purges.
Probably, all PA 2.0 machines have combined TLBs.
I dropped using __flush_tlb_range in flush_tlb_mm as I realized all
applications and most threads have a stack size that is too large to
make this useful. I added some comments to this effect.
Since implementing 1 through 3, I haven't had any random segmentation
faults on mx3210 (rp3440) in about one week of building code and running
as a Debian buildd.

Pull module_init replacement part one from Paul Gortmaker:
"Replace module_init with equivalent device_initcall in non modules.
This series of commits converts non-modular code that is using the
module_init() call to hook itself into the system to instead use
device_initcall().
The conversion is a runtime no-op, since module_init actually becomes
__initcall in the non-modular case, and that in turn gets mapped onto
device_initcall. A couple files show a larger negative diffstat,
representing ones that had a module_exit function that we remove here
vs previously relying on the linker to dispose of it.
We make this conversion now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.
The files changed here are just limited to those that would otherwise
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, in order to avoid
a compile fail, as testing has shown"

This replaces the plain loop over the sglist array with for_each_sg()
macro which consists of sg_next() function calls. Since parisc doesn't
select ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN, it is not necessary to use for_each_sg() in
order to loop over each sg element. But this can help find problems with
drivers that do not properly initialize their sg tables when
CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is enabled.

The perf.c code depends on CONFIG_64BIT, so it is either built-in
or absent. It will never be modular, so using module_init as an
alias for __initcall is rather misleading.
Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing. Aside from it not making sense, it also
causes a ~10% increase in CPP overhead due to module.h having a
large list of headers itself -- for example compare line counts:
device_initcall() and <linux/init.h>
20238 arch/parisc/kernel/perf.i
module_init() and <linux/module.h>
22194 arch/parisc/kernel/perf.i
Direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs prioritized ones.
Use of device_initcall is consistent with what __initcall
maps onto, and hence does not change the init order, making the
impact of this change zero. Should someone with real hardware
for boot testing want to change it later to arch_initcall or
something different, they can do that at a later date.

Introduce faulthandler_disabled() and use it to check for irq context and
disabled pagefaults (via pagefault_disable()) in the pagefault handlers.
Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect
whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly
disabled).
In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults.
With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt
counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs.
We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling
might_sleep().
Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this
is needed.
faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in
linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files.
This patch is based on a patch from Thomas Gleixner.

On architectures where the stack grows upwards (CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP=y,
currently parisc and metag only) stack randomization sometimes leads to crashes
when the stack ulimit is set to lower values than STACK_RND_MASK (which is 8 MB
by default if not defined in arch-specific headers).
The problem is, that when the stack vm_area_struct is set up in fs/exec.c, the
additional space needed for the stack randomization (as defined by the value of
STACK_RND_MASK) was not taken into account yet and as such, when the stack
randomization code added a random offset to the stack start, the stack
effectively got smaller than what the user defined via rlimit_max(RLIMIT_STACK)
which then sometimes leads to out-of-stack situations and crashes.
This patch fixes it by adding the maximum possible amount of memory (based on
STACK_RND_MASK) which theoretically could be added by the stack randomization
code to the initial stack size. That way, the user-defined stack size is always
guaranteed to be at minimum what is defined via rlimit_max(RLIMIT_STACK).
This bug is currently not visible on the metag architecture, because on metag
STACK_RND_MASK is defined to 0 which effectively disables stack randomization.
The changes to fs/exec.c are inside an "#ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP"
section, so it does not affect other platformws beside those where the
stack grows upwards (parisc and metag).

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules. So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().
__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area. Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole. So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().
Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
__vmalloc_node_range(). Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
__vmalloc_node_range() function.

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

Switch over the msgctl, shmat, shmctl and semtimedop syscalls to use the compat
layer. The problem was found with the debian procenv package, which called
shmctl(0, SHM_INFO, &info);
in which the shmctl syscall then overwrote parts of the surrounding areas on
the stack on which the info variable was stored and thus lead to a segfault
later on.
Additionally fix the definition of struct shminfo64 to use unsigned longs like
the other architectures. This has no impact on userspace since we only have a

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
"So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
problem. We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process. seccomp
hooks in before the audit syscall entry code. audit_syscall_entry
took as an argument the arch of the given syscall. Since the arch is
part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
syscall...
For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
there is audit which didn't have it. Use syscall_get_arch() in the
seccomp audit code. Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
syscall entry.
The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
records that had invalid spaces. Better locking around the task comm
field. Removing some dead functions and structs. Make some things

to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
the same function, the old way is still done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
and resume.
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.
Clean up of the trace_seq() code.
And other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing.

ftrace_stop() is going away as it disables parts of function tracing
that affects users that should not be affected. But ftrace_graph_stop()
is built on ftrace_stop(). Here's another example of killing all of
function tracing because something went wrong with function graph
tracing.
Instead of disabling all users of function tracing on function graph
error, disable only function graph tracing. To do this, the arch code
must call ftrace_graph_is_dead() before it implements function graph.

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
"The major patch in here is one which fixes the fanotify_mark() syscall
in the compat layer of the 64bit parisc kernel. It went unnoticed so
long, because the calling syntax when using a 64bit parameter in a
32bit syscall is quite complex and even worse, it may be even
different if you call syscall() or the glibc wrapper. This patch
makes the kernel accept the calling convention when called by the
glibc wrapper.
The other two patches are trivial and remove unused headers, #includes
and adds the serial ports of the fastest C8000 workstation to the
parisc-kernel internal hardware database"
* 'parisc-3.16-5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux:
parisc: drop unused defines and header includes
parisc: fix fanotify_mark() syscall on 32bit compat kernel
parisc: add serial ports of C8000/1GHz machine to hardware database
On parisc we can not use the existing compat implementation for fanotify_mark()
because for the 64bit mask parameter the higher and lower 32bits are ordered
differently than what the compat function expects from big endian
architectures.
Specifically:
It finally turned out, that on hppa we end up with different assignments
of parameters to kernel arguments depending on if we call the glibc
wrapper function
int fanotify_mark (int __fanotify_fd, unsigned int __flags,
uint64_t __mask, int __dfd, const char *__pathname);
or directly calling the syscall manually
syscall(__NR_fanotify_mark, ...)
Reason is, that the syscall() function is implemented as C-function and
because we now have the sysno as first parameter in front of the other
parameters the compiler will unexpectedly add an empty paramenter in
front of the u64 value to ensure the correct calling alignment for 64bit
values.
This means, on hppa you can't simply use syscall() to call the kernel
fanotify_mark() function directly, but you have to use the glibc
function instead.
This patch fixes the kernel in the hppa-arch specifc coding to adjust
the parameters in a way as if userspace calls the glibc wrapper function
fanotify_mark().

The 'renameat2()' system call was incorrectly added as a ENTRY_COMP() in
the parisc system call table by commit 18e480aa07 ("parisc: add
renameat2 syscall"). That causes a link-time error due to there not
being any compat version of that system call:
arch/parisc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
(.rodata+0xad0): undefined reference to `compat_sys_renameat2'

Easily fixed by marking the system call as being the same for compat as
for native by using ENTRY_SAME() instead of ENTRY_COMP().

"There are two patches in here:
The first patch greatly improves latency and corrects the memory
ordering in our light-weight atomic locking syscall.
The second patch ratelimits printing of userspace segfaults in the
same way as it's done on other platforms. This fixes a possible DOS
on parisc since it prevents the syslog to grow too fast. For example,
when the debian acl2 package was built on our debian buildd servers,
this package produced lots of gigabytes in syslog in very short time
and thus filled our harddisks, which then turned the server nearly
completely unaccessible and unresponsive"
* 'parisc-3.15-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux:
parisc: Improve LWS-CAS performance
parisc: ratelimit userspace segfault printing
The attached change significantly improves the performance of the LWS-CAS code
in syscall.S.
This allows a number of packages to build (e.g., zeromq3, gtest and libxs)
that previously failed because slow LWS-CAS performance under contention. In
particular, interrupts taken while the lock was taken degraded performance
significantly.
The change does the following:
1) Disables interrupts around the CAS operation, and
2) Changes the loads and stores to use the ordered completer, "o", on
PA 2.0. "o" and "ma" with a zero offset are equivalent. The latter is
accepted on both PA 1.X and 2.0.
The use of ordered loads and stores probably makes no difference on all
existing hardware, but it seemed pedantically correct. In particular, the CAS
operation must complete before LDCW lock is released. As written before, a
processor could reorder the operations.
I don't believe the period interrupts are disabled is long enough to
significantly increase interrupt latency. For example, the TLB insert code is
longer. Worst case is a memory fault in the CAS operation.

This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards
(currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum
initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable
via a config option.
The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two
memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the
memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense
to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used
as heap then.
This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and
uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few
years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

Helge Deller noted a few weeks ago problems with the AIO support on
parisc. This change is the result of numerous iterations on how best to
deal with this problem.
The solution adopted here is to provide full cache coherency in a
uniform manner on all parisc systems. This involves calling
flush_dcache_page() on kmap operations and flush_kernel_dcache_page() on
kunmap operations. As a result, the copy_user_page() and
clear_user_page() functions can be removed and the overall code is
simpler.
The change ensures that both userspace and kernel aliases to a mapped
page are invalidated and flushed. This is necessary for the correct
operation of PA8800 and PA8900 based systems which do not support
inequivalent aliases.
With this change, I have observed no cache related issues on c8000 and
rp3440. It is now possible for example to do kernel builds with "-j64"
on four way systems.
On systems using XFS file systems, the patch recently posted by Mikulas
Patocka to "fix crash using XFS on loopback" is needed to avoid a hang
caused by an uninitialized lock passed to flush_dcache_page() in the
page struct.

When building a 64bit kernel sometimes functions in the .init section were not
able to reach the standard kernel function. Main reason for this problem is,
that the linkage tables (.plt, .opd, .dlt) tend to become pretty huge and thus
the distance gets too big for short calls.
One option to avoid this is to use the -mlong-calls compiler option, but this
increases the binary size and introduces a performance penalty.
Instead, with this patch we just lay out the binary differently. Init code is
stored first, followed by text, R/O and finally R/W data. This means, that init
and text code is now much closer to each other, which is sufficient to reach
each other by short calls.

locale-gen on Debian showed a strange problem on parisc:

mmap2(0x42a54000, 103860, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
Basically it was just trying to re-mmap() a file at the same address
which it was given by a previous mmap() call. But this remapping failed
with EINVAL.
The problem is, that when MAP_FIXED and MAP_SHARED flags were used, we didn't
included the mapping-based offset when we verified the alignment of the given
fixed address against the offset which we calculated it in the previous call.
