Commit 8ec53663d2 ("[ARM] Improve
non-executable support") added support for detecting non-executable
stack binaries. One of the things it does is to make READ_IMPLIES_EXEC
be set in ->personality if we are running on a CPU that doesn't support
the XN ("Execute Never") page table bit or if we are running a binary
that needs an executable stack.
This exposed a latent bug in ARM's asm/processor.h due to which we'll
end up placing the stack at a very low address, where it will bump into
the heap on any application that uses significant amount of stack or
heap or both, causing many interesting crashes.
Fix this by testing the ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT bit in ->personality instead
of testing for equality against PER_LINUX_32BIT.

Commit 0c65f459ce intended to fix truncation issues with fls() on
ARMv5+ by renaming it to __fls() and wrapping it into a C function.
However that didn't take into account the fact that __fls() already
already had different semantics in the kernel.
Let's move the __fls() code into fls() function directly, and redefine
__fls() with the appropriate semantics. While at it, bring a generic
__fls() definition for pre ARMv5 too.

Mikael Pettersson reported:
The 2.6.28-rc kernels fail to detect PCI device 0000:00:01.0
(the first ethernet port) on my Thecus n2100 XScale box.
There is however still a strange "ghost" device that gets partially
detected in 2.6.28-rc2 vanilla.
The IOP321 manual says:
The user designates the memory region containing the OCCDR as
non-cacheable and non-bufferable from the IntelR XScaleTM core.
This guarantees that all load/stores to the OCCDR are only of
DWORD quantities.
Ensure that the OCCDR is so mapped.

As of 73bdf0a60e, the kernel needs
to know where modules are located in the virtual address space.
On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END.
Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END.
Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr()
can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to
reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the
vmalloc space.

Most ARM machines don't need a special "DMA" memory zone, and
when configured out, the kernel becomes a bit smaller:
| text data bss dec hex filename
|3826182 102384 111700 4040266 3da64a vmlinux
|3823593 101616 111700 4036909 3d992d vmlinux.nodmazone
This is because the system now has only one zone total which effect is
to optimize away many conditionals in page allocation paths.

As per the dma_unmap_* calls, we don't touch the cache when a DMA

The dmabounce dma_sync_xxx() implementation have been broken for
quite some time; they all copy data between the DMA buffer and
the CPU visible buffer no irrespective of the change of ownership.
(IOW, a DMA_FROM_DEVICE mapping copies data from the DMA buffer
to the CPU buffer during a call to dma_sync_single_for_device().)
Fix it by getting rid of sync_single(), moving the contents into
the recently created dmabounce_sync_for_xxx() functions and adjusting
appropriately.
This also makes it possible to properly support the DMA range sync
functions.

Rather than trying to (inaccurately) decode the cache type from the
registers each time we need to decide what type of cache we have,
use a bitmask initialized early during boot.
Since the setup is a one-off initialization, we can be a little more
clever and take account of the CPU architecture as well.
Note that we continue to achieve the compactness on optimised kernels
by forcing tests to always-false or always-true as appropriate, thereby
allowing the compiler to do build-time code elimination.

PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS was defined to be zero, which meant we ignored

This patch provides an ARM implementation of ioremap_wc().
We use different page table attributes depending on which CPU we
are running on:
- Non-XScale ARMv5 and earlier systems: The ARMv5 ARM documents four
possible mapping types (CB=00/01/10/11). We can't use any of the
cached memory types (CB=10/11), since that breaks coherency with
peripheral devices. Both CB=00 and CB=01 are suitable for _wc, and
CB=01 (Uncached/Buffered) allows the hardware more freedom than
CB=00, so we'll use that.
(The ARMv5 ARM seems to suggest that CB=01 is allowed to delay stores
but isn't allowed to merge them, but there is no other mapping type
we can use that allows the hardware to delay and merge stores, so
we'll go with CB=01.)
- XScale v1/v2 (ARMv5): same as the ARMv5 case above, with the slight
difference that on these platforms, CB=01 actually _does_ allow
merging stores. (If you want noncoalescing bufferable behavior
on Xscale v1/v2, you need to use XCB=101.)
- Xscale v3 (ARMv5) and ARMv6+: on these systems, we use TEXCB=00100
mappings (Inner/Outer Uncacheable in xsc3 parlance, Uncached Normal
in ARMv6 parlance).
The ARMv6 ARM explicitly says that any accesses to Normal memory can
be merged, which makes Normal memory more suitable for _wc mappings
than Device or Strongly Ordered memory, as the latter two mapping
types are guaranteed to maintain transaction number, size and order.
We use the Uncached variety of Normal mappings for the same reason
that we can't use C=1 mappings on ARMv5.
The xsc3 Architecture Specification documents TEXCB=00100 as being
Uncacheable and allowing coalescing of writes, which is also just
what we need.

Linux/ARM currently doesn't support robust or PI futexes.
The problem is that the kernel wants to perform certain ops
(cmpxchg, set, add, or, andn, xor) atomically on user-space
addresses, and ARM's futex.h doesn't support that.
This patch adds that support, but only for uniprocessor machines.
For UP it's enough to disable preemption to ensure mutual exclusion
with other software agents (futexes don't need to care about other
hardware agents, fortunately).
This patch is based on one posted by Khem Raj on 2007-08-01
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=118599407413016&w=2>.
(That patch is included in the -RT kernel patches.)
My changes since that version include:
* corrected implementation of FUTEX_OP_ANDN (must complement oparg)
* added missing memory clobber to futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
* removed spinlock because it's unnecessary for UP and insufficient
for SMP, instead the code is restricted to UP and relies on the
fact that pagefault_disable() also disables preemption
* coding style cleanups
