The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a
negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax.
These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended.
The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit
kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior.
This patch fixes the problem by doing sign-extension where it matters.
For orig_ax, the only time the value should be -1 but winds up as
0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace call. So the patch changes ptrace to
sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax value when it's stored; it doesn't
change the checks on orig_ax, though it uses the new current_syscall()
inline to better document the subtle importance of the used of
signedness there.
The ax value is stored a lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all
sign-extended at their origins. So for that, we use the
current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend it only for 32-bit tasks at the
time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.

This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a
32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64. This matches what a
64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task.
This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix". This didn't
matter until that was fixed.
The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it
sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly. It expects
that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a
32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit
facilities.
This never arose before because the syscall restart check never
matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension. Before
that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger
the restart check anyway. So this was never noticed as a regression
of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.

we encode it this way because there's no space for the 'FPU Last

Notice how the TSC cap bit goes from Off to On.
(The first two lines are printout loops from -git7 forward-ported
to -git8, the third line is the same printout loop added just after
the xor-with-cleared_cpu_caps[] loop.)
Here's how the breakage occurs:
1. arch/x86/kernel/tsc_32.c:tsc_init() sees !cpu_has_tsc,
so bails and calls setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_TSC).
2. include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h:setup_clear_cpu_cap(bit) clears
the bit in boot_cpu_data and sets it in cleared_cpu_caps
3. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:identify_cpu() XORs all caps
in with cleared_cpu_caps
HOWEVER, at this point c->x86_capability correctly has TSC
Off, cleared_cpu_caps has TSC On, so the XOR incorrectly
sets TSC to On in c->x86_capability, with disastrous results.
The real bug is that clearing bits with XOR only works if the
bits are known to be 1 prior to the XOR, and that's not true here.
A simple fix is to convert the XOR to AND-NOT instead. The following
patch does that, and allows my 486 to boot 2.6.25-rc kernels again.
[ mingo@elte.hu: fixed a similar bug in setup_64.c as well. ]

based on a report from Arne Georg Gleditsch about user-space apps
misbehaving after toggling /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64, a review
of the code revealed that the "NOP patching" done there is
fundamentally unsafe for a number of reasons:
1) the patching code runs without synchronizing other CPUs
2) it inserts NOPs even if there is no clock source which provides vread
3) when the clock source changes to one without vread we run in
exactly the same problem as in #2
4) if nobody toggles the proc entry from 1 to 0 and to 1 again, then
the syscall is not patched out
as a result it is possible to break user-space via this patching.
The only safe thing for now is to remove the patching.
This code was broken since v2.6.21.

recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously
rebooting during early bootup.
after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out
that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel
image:
#define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (40*1024*1024)
which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass:
text data bss dec hex filename
29703744 4222751 8646224 42572719 2899baf vmlinux
40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/
So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is
the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-)
So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped.
(should anyone be that crazy or lazy)
We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these
mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather
