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 a result of the ptebits changes, we ended up marking device mappings
as normal memory on ARMv7 CPUs, resulting in undesirable behaviour with
serial ports and the like. While reviewing the section mapping table
entries, other errors in the memory type settings for devices were
detected and confirmed to prevent Xscale3 platforms booting.
Tested on:
OMAP34xx (ARMv7),
OMAP24xx (ARMv6),
OMAP16xx (ARM926T, ARMv5),
PXA311 (Xscale3),
PXA272 (Xscale),
PXA255 (Xscale),
IXP42x (Xscale),
S3C2410 (ARM920T, ARMv4T),
ARM720T (ARMv4T)

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.

Those inline assembly segments using the umlal instruction must have
the & modifier so to be sure that a purely input register won't alias
one of the registers used as input+output. In most cases, the inputs
are still used after the outputs are touched, and most binutil versions
insist on "rdhi, rdlo and rm must all be different" even for ARMv6+.

Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling
tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to
FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE
DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same.
This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

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.
So let's configure this zone only on machines that need split zones.
