As explained on:

If the current process is preempted before it can copy RAR_SUP and
RSR_SUP both register are lost and the process will segfault as soon
as it return from the syscall since the return adress will be
corrupted.
This patch disable IRQ as soon as we enter the syscall path and
reenable them when the copy is done.
In the interrupt handlers, check if we are interrupting the srrf
instruction, if so disable interrupts and return. The interrupt
handler will be re-called immediatly when the interrupts are
reenabled.
After some stressing workload:
- find / > /dev/null in loop
- top (in ssh)
- ping -f avr32
The segfaults are not seen anymore.

__init_end, which comes immediately before .text, is already page
aligned, and that should be more than enough for the .text section.
The reason why we need to align the .text section is because the
interrupt handler offset is ORed with EVBA, so we need to provide
enough alignment of EVBA that this OR operation works as an ADD.
Currently, the last interrupt handler is not nearly a full page away
from EVBA, so it won't be a problem.

If the kernel OOPSed or BUGed then it probably should be considered as
tainted. Thus, all subsequent OOPSes and SysRq dumps will report the
tainted kernel. This saves a lot of time explaining oddities in the
calltraces.

The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():
[<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8)

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

Reorder some instructions and change the register usage to reduce
the number of pipeline stalls. Also use the bfextu and bfins
instructions for bitfield manipulations instead of shifting and
masking.
This makes gzipping a 80MB file approximately 2% faster.
