Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page
page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
(pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.
Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means
the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
accessible since its not kmapped).
Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The
additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free
functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page
call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.
To make this work, this patch also does the following:
(1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.
(2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
core dumping code.
(3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This
is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch
code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
the core kernel.
(4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
needed) and FRV.
This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

Give the stubs a VMA. This allows the removal of a truly nasty kludge to make
sure that mm->nr_ptes was correct in exit_mmap. The underlying problem was
always that the stubs, which have ptes, and thus allocated a page table,
weren't covered by a VMA.
This patch fixes that by using install_special_mapping in arch_dup_mmap and
activate_context to create the VMA. The stubs have to be moved, since
shift_arg_pages seems to assume that the stack is the only VMA present at that
point during exec, and uses vma_adjust to fiddle its VMA. However, that
extends the stub VMA by the amount removed from the stack VMA.
To avoid this problem, the stubs were moved to a different fixed location at
the start of the address space.
The init_stub_pte calls were moved from init_new_context to arch_dup_mmap
because I was occasionally seeing arch_dup_mmap not being called, causing
exit_mmap to die. Rather than figure out what was really happening, I decided
it was cleaner to just move the calls so that there's no doubt that both the
pte and VMA creation happen, no matter what. arch_exit_mmap is used to clear
the stub ptes at exit time.
The STUB_* constants in as-layout.h no longer depend on UM_TASK_SIZE, that
that definition is removed, along with the comments complaining about gcc.
Because the stubs are no longer at the top of the address space, some care is
needed while flushing TLBs. update_pte_range checks for addresses in the stub
range and skips them. flush_thread now issues two unmaps, one for the range
before STUB_START and one for the range after STUB_END.

Untangle UML headers somewhat and add some includes where they were
needed explicitly, but gotten accidentally via some other header.
arch/um/include/um_uaccess.h loses asm/fixmap.h because it uses no
fixmap stuff and gains elf.h, because it needs FIXADDR_USER_*, and
archsetjmp.h, because it needs jmp_buf.
pmd_alloc_one is uninlined because it needs mm_struct, and that's
inconvenient to provide in asm-um/pgtable-3level.h.
elf_core_copy_fpregs is also uninlined from elf-i386.h and
elf-x86_64.h, which duplicated the code anyway, to
arch/um/kernel/process.c, so that the reference to current_thread
doesn't pull sched.h or anything related into asm/elf.h.
arch/um/sys-i386/ldt.c, arch/um/kernel/tlb.c and
arch/um/kernel/skas/uaccess.c got sched.h because they dereference
task_structs. Its includes of linux and asm headers got turned from
"" to <>.
arch/um/sys-i386/bug.c gets asm/errno.h because it needs errno
constants.
asm/elf-i386 gets asm/user.h because it needs user_regs_struct.
asm/fixmap.h gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE and PAGE_MASK and
system.h for BUG_ON.
asm/pgtable doesn't need sched.h.
asm/processor-generic.h defined mm_segment_t, but didn't use it. So,
that definition is moved to uaccess.h, which defines a bunch of
mm_segment_t-related stuff. thread_info.h uses mm_segment_t, and
includes uaccess.h, which causes a recursion. So, the definition is
placed above the include of thread_info. in uaccess.h. thread_info.h
also gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE.

This patchset makes UML build and run with three-level page tables on
32-bit hosts. This is an uncommon use case, but the code here needed
fixing and cleaning up, so 32-bit three-level pages tables were tested
to make sure the changes are good.
Patch 1 - code movement
Patch 2 - header untangling
Patch 3 - style fixups in files affected so far
Patch 4 - clean up use of current.h
Patch 5 - fix sizes of types that are different between 2 and 3-level
page tables - three-level page table support should build at
this point
Patch 6 - tidy (i.e. eliminate much of) the code that figures out how
big the address space is
Patch 7 - change um_virt_to_phys into virt_to_pte, clean its
interface, and clean its (so far) one caller
Patch 8 - the stub pages are covered with a VMA, allowing some nasty
code to be thrown out - three-level page tables now work
This patch:
um_virt_to_phys only has one user, so it can be moved to the same file
and made static. Its declarations in pgtable.h and ksyms.c are also
gone.

pud_clear wasn't setting the _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit, fooling tlb_flush into

whatever was covered by the pud.
This manifested itself as ldconfig on x86_64 complaining about the first
library it looked at not being a valid ELF file. A config file is mapped at
0x4000000, as the only thing mapped under its pud, and unmapped. The
unmapping caused a pud_clear, which, due to this bug, didn't actually unmap
the config file data on the host. The first library is then mapped at the
same location, but is not actually mapped on the host because accesses to it
cause no page faults. As a result, ldconfig sees the old config file data.

This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.
This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.
The removal is done as follows:
remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
CONFIG_MODE_TT
get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
skas portions
replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents
There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context. These
are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.
As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
files that were changed. There are three such patches, one for each phase,
covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.
I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.
The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
inexplicable crashes under tt mode. Since that is no longer a problem, this
can now go in.
This patch:
Start getting rid of tt mode support.
This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
which depend on it.
CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included

The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
strictly deletions.

The earlier crash dump fix on x86_64 depended on patches in -mm which
are intended for post-2.6.23. Without those, it broke the build when
it went into 2.6.23-rc5.
This changes the field references in ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS back to those
still used in mainline.

Stop UML crashing when trying to dump a process core on x86_64. This is the
minimal fix to stop the crash - more things are broken here, and patches are
forthcoming.
The immediate thing to do is define ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and
ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS. Defining ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS allows dump_fpu to go
away. It is defined in terms of save_fp_registers, so that needs to be added.

New arch macro STACK_TOP_MAX it gives the larges valid stack address for the
architecture in question.
It differs from STACK_TOP in that it will not distinguish between
personalities but will always return the largest possible address.
This is used to create the initial stack on execve, which we will move down to
the proper location once the binfmt code has figured out where that is.

For some reason, I was using kmalloc instead of get_free_pages for kernel

Kill pte_rdprotect(), pte_exprotect(), pte_mkread(), pte_mkexec(), pte_read(),
pte_exec(), and pte_user() except where arch-specific code is making use of
them.
