There were a couple of problems with the way the trace buffer state
is saved/restored in assembly. The DEBUG_HWTRACE_SAVE/RESTORE macros
save a value to the stack, which is not immediately obvious; the CPLB
exception code needed changes to load the correct value of the stack
pointer. The other problem is that the SAVE/RESTORE macros weren't
pushing and popping the value downwards on the stack, but rather moving
it _upwards_, which is of course completely broken.
We also need to make sure there's a matching DEBUG_HWTRACE_RESTORE in
the error case of the CPLB handler.

This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:
int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
const struct itimerspec *utmr,
struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);
The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.
The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).
The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time.
The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.
Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

- change default NMI handler to simply dump hardware trace buffer.
- remove default NMI handler completely as calling into kernel code is not safe

revise anomaly handling by basing things on the compiler not the kconfig defines,
so the header is stable and usable outside of the kernel. This also allows us to
move some code from preprocessing to compiling (gcc culls dead code)
which should help with code quality (readability, catch minor bugs, etc...).

When compiling the Blackfin kernel, checksyscalls.pl will report lots of missing syscalls warnings.
This patch will add some missing syscalls which make sense on Blackfin arch
After appling this patch, toolchain should be rebuilt. Then recompiling the kernel with the new
toolchain.
