It's really just a single instruction, conditional on whether the CPU
supports FXSR or not, so implement it as such instead of making it a
function that queries FXSR dynamically.
This means that the instruction just gets automatically rewritten to the
correct one at boot-time.
These days %gs is normally the TLS segment, so it's no longer zero. As
a result, we shouldn't just assume that %fs/%gs tend to be zero
together, but test them independently instead.
Also, fix setting of debug registers to use the "next" pointer instead
of "current". It so happens that the scheduler will have set the new
current pointer before calling __switch_to(), but that's just an
implementation detail.

Up to now, shark kernels were limited to one megabyte compressed
size. As the kernels get bigger, this becomes more and more
uncomfortable. So I added a loop to copy 3 MB instead of one
and added some comments.

Recent changes to nwfpe broke the build with some gcc versions:
In file included from arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.c:33:
arch/arm/nwfpe/fpa11.h:32: global register variable follows a function definition
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.o] Error 1
Since we now ensure that the kernel stack is empty when returning
to user space, we can now access the userspace registers with
reference to the kernel stack using current_thread_info(), rather
than remembering the stack pointer at the time nwfpe was called.

Patch from Alexander Schulz
This patch brings a new default config file for the shark and
fixes a compilation issue with io addressing and a runtime
problem with the serial ports, where I corrected a wrong
regshift value.
These are all shark specific files so I hope it is ok to
put them in one patch.

A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000. During
exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is
not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not
freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page.
Check the return value and free the vma incase of failure.

This patch makes the command:
make ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386
work on x86_64 hosts (with support for building 32-bit binaries). This is
especially needed since 64-bit UMLs don't support 32-bit emulation for guest
binaries, currently. This has been tested in all possible cases and works.
Only exception is that I've built but not tested a 64-bit binary, because I
hadn't a 64-bit filesystem available.

The pcap support was not working because of some linking problems (expressing
the construct in Kbuild was a bit difficult) and because there was no user
request. Now that this has come back, here's the support.
This has been tested and works on both 32 and 64-bit hosts, even when
"cross-"building 32-bit binaries.

1) Cleanup an ugly hyper-nested code in Makefile (now only the arith.
expression is passed through the host bash).
2) Fix a problem with GCC 2.95: according to a report from Raphael Bossek,
.remap_data : { arch/um/sys-SUBARCH/unmap_fin.o (.data .bss) } is expanded
into: .remap_data : { arch/um/sys-i386 /unmap_fin.o (.data .bss) }
(because I didn't use ## to join the two tokens), thus stopping linking. Pass
the whole path from the Makefile as a simple and nice fix.

*) Reorganize the two cases of sys_modify_ldt to share all the reasonably
common code.
*) Avoid memory allocation when unneeded (i.e. when we are writing and the
passed buffer size is known), thus not returning ENOMEM (which isn't
allowed for this syscall, even if there is no strict "specification").
*) Add copy_{from,to}_user to modify_ldt for TT mode.

A big bug has been diagnosed on hosts running the SKAS patch and built with
CONFIG_REGPARM, due to some missing prevent_tail_call().
On these hosts, this workaround is needed to avoid triggering that bug,
because "to" is kept by GCC only in EBX, which is corrupted at the return of
mmap2().
Since to trigger this bug int 0x80 must be used when doing the call, it rarely
manifests itself, so I'd prefer to get this merged to workaround that host
bug, since it should cause no functional change. Still, you might prefer to
drop it, I'll leave this to you.

This construct is refused by GCC 4, so here's the (corrected) fix. Thanks to
Russell for noticing a stupid mistake I did when first sending this.
As he noted, the code is largely suboptimal however it currently works, and
will be fixed shortly. Just read the access_ok check on fp which is NULL, or
the pointer arithmetic below which should be done with a cast to void*:
frame = (struct rt_sigframe __user *)
round_down(stack_top - sizeof(struct rt_sigframe), 16) - 8;
The code shows clearly that has been taken from
arch/x86_64/kernel/signal.c:setup_rt_frame(), maybe in a bit of a hurry.

XPC calls smp_processor_id() twice from xpc_setup_infrastructure() with
preemption enabled, which gets flagged if 'DEBUG_PREEMPT=y'. This patch
replaces the two calls to smp_processor_id() by a single call to
raw_smp_processor_id() since any CPU within the partition will do.
