This is a follow on to the vdso patch.
Since all processes now have signal trampolines permanently mapped, we
can use those instead of putting the trampoline on the stack and
invalidating the corresponding icache across all CPUs. We also get rid
of a bunch of ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR code.
[Ralf: GDB 7.1 which has the necessary modifications to allow backtracing
over signal frames will supposedly be released tomorrow. The old signal
frame format obsoleted by this patch exists in two variations, for sane
processors and for those requiring ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR. So
there was never a GDB which did support backtracing over signal frames
on all MIPS systems. This convinved me this series should be applied and
pushed upstream as soon as possible.]

This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes. Still
missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information. But it is enough to
allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack. Note that emulation
of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack.
We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal
trampolines into it. The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is
mapped into this space.

The SSB PCIcore code reused the IO resource fixup code from the original
2.4.x Broadcom patch for BCM47xx based devices, which was a quick hack
for doing PCI IO resource configuration back then (the boot loader
doesn't configure PCI devices on this platform).
However, this code is no longer necessary since the kernel now can do
PCI resource management fine all by itself, so remove the old code.
When removing the code, it becomes obvious that the mem_offset setting
in the PCIcore driver was wrong, however this was masked by the fixup
code before, except in a few cases involving yenta_socket. For BCM47xx,
the correct offset is 0, and since this is the only device using PCIcore
in host mode, the offset can simply be removed unconditionally.

kernel/elfcore.c includes <linux/elf.h> which includes the <asm/elf.h>. In
<asm/elf.h>, struct pt_regs is declared inside the parameter list of the
elf_dump_regs function which causes a kernel build warning.
Fixed by adding a forward declaration of struct pt_regs.

radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set()
or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in
radix_tree_tag_get():
if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset))
saw_unset_tag = 1;
if (height == 1) {
int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset);
may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection
against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced
according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly.
The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that
radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying
the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any
functions reading the tree".
The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the
tag doesn't vary over time:
BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag);
This has been seen happening in FS-Cache:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html
To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various
comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held,
and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from
running concurrently with it.

As suggested by Linus, fix up kmem_ptr_validate() to handle non-kernel pointers
more graciously. The patch changes kmem_ptr_validate() to use the newly
introduced kern_ptr_validate() helper to check that a pointer is a valid kernel
pointer before we attempt to convert it into a 'struct page'.
