cycles_per_jiffy was only ever getting assigned and the function pointer
not being called anymore and mips_timer_ack had gotten similarly stale. I
leave the remaining assignments unfixed as a lighthouse pointing platform
maintainers to what needs a rewrite. These changes make null_timer_ack()
unreferenced, so delete that too.

Some processors offer the option of using the interrupt on which
normally the count / compare interrupt would be signaled as a normal
interupt pin. Previously this required some ugly hackery for each
system which is much easier done by a quick and simple probe.

Userland, including the C library and the dynamic linker, is keen to use
the SYNC instruction, even for "generic" MIPS I binaries these days.
Which makes it less than useful on MIPS I processors.
This change adds the emulation, but as our do_ri() infrastructure was not
really prepared to take yet another instruction, I have rewritten it and
its callees slightly as follows.
Now there is only a single place a possible signal is thrown from. The
place is at the end of do_ri(). The instruction word is fetched in
do_ri() and passed down to handlers. The handlers are called in sequence
and return a result that lets the caller decide upon further processing.
If the result is positive, then the handler has picked the instruction,
but a signal should be thrown and the result is the signal number. If the
result is zero, then the handler has successfully simulated the
instruction. If the result is negative, then the handler did not handle
the instruction; to make it more obvious the calls do not follow the usual
0/-Exxx result convention they now return -1 instead of -EFAULT.
The calculation of the return EPC is now at the beginning. The reason is
it is easier to handle it there as emulation callees may modify a register
and an instruction may be located in delay slot of a branch whose result
depends on the register. It has to be undone if a signal is to be raised,
but it is not a problem as this is the slow-path case, and both actions
are done in single places now rather than the former being scattered
through emulation handlers.
The part of do_cpu() being covered follows the changes to do_ri().

For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some
shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically:
1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
restrictions.
2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the
crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
is overridden to zero when called).
3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
deadlock.
This patch:
Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that
core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's. This leads
to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt(). The downside
is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt. This is not a problem, since
the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF +
something distro enabled for you).

The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.
This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.
One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.
Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k
Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.

The kernel currently only supports broadcasting of the timer interrupt
from a single timer, not multicasting into two multicast groups of
processors. So the implemented mechanism for SMTC works by broadcasting
the cp0 compare interrupt on VPE 0 and ignoring it on any additional VPEs.

This replaces the MIPS-specific to_tm function with the generic
rtc_time_to_tm function. The big difference between the two functions is
that rtc_time_to_tm uses epoch 70 while to_tm uses 1970, so the result of
rtc_time_to_tm needs to be fixed up.
