From the 01408c4939 log message:
The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source
address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the*
*destination*.
This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd
thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or
what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a
reasonable thing to see).
If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't
cause an error.
The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing
so causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than
copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic
to *not* zero out bytes on failure.

This patch finally implements at least a not so pretty solution by
duplicating the relevant part of __copy_user.

The kernel use 64-bit for sc_regs[0], and both N32/N64 userland
expects it was 64-bit. But size of 'long' on N32 is actually 32-bit.
So this definition make some confusion. Use __u32 and __u64 for
N32/N64 sigcontext to get rid of this confusion.

The broadcast functionality is only necessary when a local APIC is
available. Make the config switch depend on X86_LOCAL_APIC. This
resolves the mach-voyager breakage introduced by the tick managament
code.

powerpc gets:
init/main.c: In function `do_basic_setup':
init/main.c:714: warning: implicit declaration of function `init_irq_proc'
but we cannot include linux/irq.h in generic code.
Fix it by moving the declaration into linux/interrupt.h instead.
And make sure all code that defines init_irq_proc() is including
linux/interrupt.h.
And nuke an ifdef-in-C
