The Linux kernel currently does not clear the direction flag before
calling a signal handler, whereas the x86/x86-64 ABI requires that.
Linux had this behavior/bug forever, but this becomes a real problem
with gcc version 4.3, which assumes that the direction flag is
correctly cleared at the entry of a function.
This patches changes the setup_frame() functions to clear the
direction before entering the signal handler.

This revamps the i387 code to be shared across 32-bit, 64-bit,
and 32-on-64. It does so by consolidating the code in one place
based on the user_regset accessor interfaces. This switches
32-bit to using the i387_64.h header and 64-bit to using the
i387.c that was previously i387_32.c, but that's what took the
least cleanup in each file. Here i387.h is stubbed to always
include i387_64.h rather than renaming the file, to keep this
diff smaller and easier to read.

There's no need for the *_MASK flags (TF_MASK, IF_MASK, etc), found in
processor.h (both _32 and _64). They have a one-to-one mapping with the
EFLAGS value. This patch removes the definitions, and use the already
existent X86_EFLAGS_ version when applicable.

Switch struct sigcontext (defined in <asm/sigcontext*.h>) to using

We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific
members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable
additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix
from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes
for segment registers on the 32-bit side.
This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional
places that might be candidates for unification in the future.

This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the
32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code.
The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit.
The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that
vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel. That is, 1 means a randomized
vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address. The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO
option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning
it has for the 32-bit kernel. (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.)
The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to
set this paramter at boot time. The vdso=[012] argument still does this
same thing on the 32-bit kernel.

If DEBUG_SIG is enbaled in source code, ia32_signal.c compiles with warning
due to wrong format string. Attached patch fixes that. It is quite minor
update, since by default DEBUG_SIG is not enabled and can not be turned on
without code modification.

We need TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK in order to support ppoll() and pselect()

heavily on David Howells' implementation of same on i386. I fixed a typo
which was causing do_signal() to use the wrong signal mask.

This fixes the setup of the alignment of the signal frame, so that all
signal handlers are run with a properly aligned stack frame.
The current code "over-aligns" the stack pointer so that the stack frame
is effectively always mis-aligned by 4 bytes. But what we really want
is that on function entry ((sp + 4) & 15) == 0, which matches what would
happen if the stack were aligned before a "call" instruction.

This is the x86_64 version of the signal fix I just posted for i386.
This problem was first noticed on PPC and has already been fixed there.
But the exact same issue applies to other platforms in the same way. The
signal blocking for sa_mask and the handled signal takes place after the
handler setup. When the stack is bogus, the handler setup forces a
SIGSEGV. But then this will be blocked, and returning to user mode will
fault again and iterate. This patch fixes the problem by checking whether
signal handler setup failed, and not doing the signal-blocking if so. This
copies what was done in the ppc code. I think all architectures' signal
handler setup code follows this pattern and needs the change.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
