Previously, init failed to do anything meaningful;
it turns out that the reason is that FD-PIC has a readonly data
section which can be located in the XIP filesystem, and various address checks
in the kernel reject such addresses for syscall arguments. Hence, init's
execve ("/bin/sh", ...)
failed with error code EFAULT.
There's room for improvement here: in case people want to have filesystems
on flash rather than in main memory, _access_ok should be modified to
allow this.
This bug fix is also dedicated to Michael Hennerich.

The function flush_switched_dcplbs was clearing the CPLB entries covering
the process permission bitmasks. This means that the sequence
flush_switched_dcplbs ();
set_mask_dcplbs(mm->context.page_rwx_mask);
has a problem: if kernel code (such as an interrupt) causes a CPLB miss before
set_mask_dcplbs completes, the CPLB handler function causes a double fault,
with an instantaneous reboot.
This bug fix is dedicated to Michael Hennerich, the only person in the world
capable of providing working JTAG hardware.

This is a rather old performance improvement for the signal handling
code, which was originally only committed on the 2007R1 branch as a
workaround for what we suspected to be a hardware bug.
There's no point in constructing a sigreturn stub on the stack and
flushing caches; we can just make signal handlers return to a known
location in the fixed code area.

relocate MAX_SWITCH_{D,I}_CPLBS from the header to the file
where it actually gets used. this way when we change
CONFIG_MEM_SIZE in our kconfig, we only rebuild one or two files
rather than a whole bunch that implicitly include cplb.h.
this will also remove the ability to clear the swapcount on
the fly, but i really dont think that functionality is important.
ultimate goal is for CONFIG_MEM_SIZE to go away and calculate
this value on the fly based on what u-boot programmed for us.

There were a couple of problems with the way the trace buffer state
is saved/restored in assembly. The DEBUG_HWTRACE_SAVE/RESTORE macros
save a value to the stack, which is not immediately obvious; the CPLB
exception code needed changes to load the correct value of the stack
pointer. The other problem is that the SAVE/RESTORE macros weren't
pushing and popping the value downwards on the stack, but rather moving
it _upwards_, which is of course completely broken.
We also need to make sure there's a matching DEBUG_HWTRACE_RESTORE in
the error case of the CPLB handler.

Sometimes when we crash, current is not valid, (has been written

Since

add more common defines for output sections
we've had a new line, NOTES, in our linker script, which causes upstream
binutils to complain about "missing phdr". Currently the only other arch
that uses NOTES is i386, and the patch which added it also added
PHDRS {
text PT_LOAD FLAGS(5); /* R_E */
data PT_LOAD FLAGS(7); /* RWE */
note PT_NOTE FLAGS(0); /* ___ */
}
and a few other modifications to use ":text" and ":data" to the linker
script.
It seems that we don't need NOTES at all, so just remove it.

PNP_MAX_IRQ is 2
If a device invokes pnpacpi_parse_allocated_irqresource() 0, 1, or 2 times, we are happy.
The 3rd time, we will fail and print "pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of IRQ resources: 2"
The 4th and subsequent calls (if this ever happened) would silently scribble on
irq_resource[2], which doesn't actualy exist.

The LEDS infrastructure itself does not require anything
that a platform dependant upon HAS_IOMEM.
The individual drivers do, but they are properly guarded
with the necessary platform dependencies.
One can even imagine a hypervisor based LED driver that
a platform without HAS_IOMEM might have.

[mszeredi@suse.cz] rewrite and split big patch into managable chunks
/proc/mounts in its current form lacks important information:
- propagation state
- root of mount for bind mounts
- the st_dev value used within the filesystem
- identifier for each mount and it's parent
It also suffers from the following problems:
- not easily extendable
- ambiguity of mountpoints within a chrooted environment
- doesn't distinguish between filesystem dependent and independent options
- doesn't distinguish between per mount and per super block options
This patch introduces /proc/<pid>/mountinfo which attempts to address
all these deficiencies.
Code shared between /proc/<pid>/mounts and /proc/<pid>/mountinfo is
extracted into separate functions.
Thanks to Al Viro for the help in getting the design right.

Allow /proc/<pid>/mountinfo to use the root of <pid> to calculate
mountpoints.
- move definition of 'struct proc_mounts' to <linux/mnt_namespace.h>
- add the process's namespace and root to this structure
- pass a pointer to 'struct proc_mounts' into seq_operations
In addition the following cleanups are made:
- use a common open function for /proc/<pid>/{mounts,mountstat}
- surround namespace.c part of these proc files with #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS
- make the seq_operations structures const
