The vdso_per_cpu_data entry in the lowcore structure uses __u32

truncated and the kernel crashes.

The constraint used for retrieving and restoring the parent function
pointer is incorrect. The parent variable is a pointer, and the
address of the pointer is modified by the asm statement and not
the pointer itself. It is incorrect to pass it in as an output
constraint since the asm will never update the pointer.

powerpc/mm: Rework usage of _PAGE_COHERENT/NO_CACHE/GUARDED
broke setting of the _PAGE_COHERENT bit in the PPC HW PTE. Since we now
actually set _PAGE_COHERENT in the Linux PTE we shouldn't be clearing it
out before we propogate it to the PPC HW PTE.

Impact: fix to prevent a kernel crash on fault
If for some reason the pointer to the parent function on the
stack takes a fault, the fix up code will not return back to
the original faulting code. This can lead to unpredictable
results and perhaps even a kernel panic.
A fault should not happen, but if it does, we should simply
disable the tracer, warn, and continue running the kernel.
It should not lead to a kernel crash.

The new legacy_mem file in sysfs is causing problems with X on machines
that don't support legacy memory access. The way I initially implemented
it, we would fail with -ENXIO when trying to mmap it, thus exposing to
X that we do support the API but there is no legacy memory.
Unfortunately, X poor error handling is causing it to fail to start when
it gets this error.
This implements a workaround hack that instead maps anonymous memory
instead (using shmem if VM_SHARED is set, just like /dev/zero does).

Impact: fix dynamic ftrace with large modules in PPC64
The math to calculate the offset into the TOC that is taken from reading
the trampoline is incorrect. The bottom half of the offset is a signed
extended short. The current code was using an OR to create the offset
when it should have been using an addition.

Currently emulate_step() emulates mr. instructions without updating cr0

Fixed v_mapped_by_tlbcam() and p_mapped_by_tlbcam() to use phys_addr_t
instead of unsigned long. In 36-bit physical mode we really need these
functions to deal with phys_addr_t when trying to match a physical
address or when returning one.

do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that
it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long
argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero
argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless
of configuration in the current code.
This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like
other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with
pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate()
like normal C functions do. This way, unless gcc makes a copy of
struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is
correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler
used.
This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it
somewhat working.
