For the 'return' command, GDB needs to adjust WINDOWBASE.
In case WB is different from 0, we need to rotate the
window register file and update WINDOWSTART and WMASK.
This patch also removes some ret|= statements for
__get_user/__put_user as the address range was alrady
checked a couple of lines earlier.

When building with binutils-2.18, vmlinux includes .note.gnu.build-id
sections that need to be stripped out when building the binary image.
The old .xt.insn sections haven't been used for a long time, so don't
bother stripping them.

For processor configurations that have optional registers
(compiler-used but non-coprocessor), user space registers
might get corrupted when there are only 4 registers in
the current window-frame, ie. register a4 belongs to the
oldest frame in the register file.

For configurations that have aliasing in the data cache but
not in the instruction cache, we don't need to flush the
instruction cache. Thus, we didn't define the macros to
flush the instruction cache. Some cache-flush functions,
howerver, were using those macros.

Supporting the sa_restorer function allows for better security
since the sigreturn system call doesn't need to be placed on
the stack, so the stack doesn't need to be executable. This
requires support from the c-library as it has to provide the
restorer function.

The Xtensa architecture allows to define custom instructions and
registers. Registers that are bound to a coprocessor are only
accessible if the corresponding enable bit is set, which allows
to implement a 'lazy' context switch mechanism. Other registers
needs to be saved and restore at the time of the context switch
or during interrupt handling.
This patch adds support for these additional states:
- save and restore registers that are used by the compiler upon
interrupt entry and exit.
- context switch additional registers unbound to any coprocessor
- 'lazy' context switch of registers bound to a coprocessor
- ptrace interface to provide access to additional registers
- update configuration files in include/asm-xtensa/variant-fsf

Avoid using typedefs for stat fields.
Make stat64.st_blocks an unsigned long long to avoid endian-specific
padding with 32-bit values.
Clean up signed vs. unsigned and int vs. long types to be consistent
with other uses of these values.

The compiler get's sometimes to smart and doesn't reread the
counter registers and the kernel doesn't schedule until the
counter wraps around.

We will never (need to) support signal handling coming from a
double exception. There are too many things that could go wrong
and delivering signals is not the fastest method for IPC, anyway.

Register a2 is saved in depc but wasn't getting restored before
returning from _spill_registers when there weren't any registers
to spill. The mask to cut the top bit from the rotated WINDOWMASK
register was also one bit short.

Move boot-redboot load address from 0xD0200000 to 0xD1000000
to make space for larger kernel images, in particular those with
an embedded initramfs filesystem.
Also properly set the ELF start address in boot-elf images so
that PC need not be set manually when loading them using GDB.

Remove additional registers from the ELF gregset structure that
are only used by the kernel or are not required or invalid in
user-space. The ar registers are always aligned to a windowbase
value of 0, and the WB register is always assumed to be 0.
Increase the size of the structure to 128 entries. This will
provide enough space in future.

We dangerously re-used an input operand to an asm macro
without defining a constraint. By defining a separate
output operand (instead of input/output operand), the
compiler is more flexible during register allocation.
