This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct
filename', and to free it when it is done. This is what the normal
users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling.
The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a
use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the
lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all
obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize
the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished,
which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after
mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory.
To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces
"getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname()
function, except with the source coming from kernel memory.
As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array
from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers
setup_new_exec(). That would be a separate cleanup.

Add support for the flexible mmap memory layout (as described in
http://lwn.net/Articles/91829). This is especially very interesting on
parisc since we currently only support 32bit userspace (even with a
64bit Linux kernel).

On Linux, only parisc uses a different value for EWOULDBLOCK which
causes a lot of troubles for applications not checking for both values.
Since the hpux compat is long dead, make EWOULDBLOCK behave the same as
all other architectures.

Commit 4b59e6c473 ("mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in
non-blockable contexts") introduced SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT to
suppress PFN walks on large memory machines. Commit c78e93630d ("mm:
do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") avoided a PFN walk in
the generic show_mem helper which removes the requirement for
SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT in that case.
This patch removes PFN walkers from the arch-specific implementations
that report on a per-node or per-zone granularity. ARM and unicore32
still do a PFN walk as they report memory usage on each bank which is a
much finer granularity where the debugging information may still be of
use. As the remaining arches doing PFN walks have relatively small
amounts of memory, this patch simply removes SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT.

For user space packet capturing libraries such as libpcap, there's
currently only one way to check which BPF extensions are supported
by the kernel, that is, commit aa1113d9f8 ("net: filter: return
-EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supported"). For querying all
extensions at once this might be rather inconvenient.
Therefore, this patch introduces a new option which can be used as
an argument for getsockopt(), and allows one to obtain information
about which BPF extensions are supported by the current kernel.
As David Miller suggests, we do not need to define any bits right
now and status quo can just return 0 in order to state that this
versions supports SKF_AD_PROTOCOL up to SKF_AD_PAY_OFFSET. Later
additions to BPF extensions need to add their bits to the
bpf_tell_extensions() function, as documented in the comment.

Helge Deller noted a few weeks ago problems with the AIO support on
parisc. This change is the result of numerous iterations on how best to
deal with this problem.
The solution adopted here is to provide full cache coherency in a
uniform manner on all parisc systems. This involves calling
flush_dcache_page() on kmap operations and flush_kernel_dcache_page() on
kunmap operations. As a result, the copy_user_page() and
clear_user_page() functions can be removed and the overall code is
simpler.
The change ensures that both userspace and kernel aliases to a mapped
page are invalidated and flushed. This is necessary for the correct
operation of PA8800 and PA8900 based systems which do not support
inequivalent aliases.
With this change, I have observed no cache related issues on c8000 and
rp3440. It is now possible for example to do kernel builds with "-j64"
on four way systems.
On systems using XFS file systems, the patch recently posted by Mikulas
Patocka to "fix crash using XFS on loopback" is needed to avoid a hang
caused by an uninitialized lock passed to flush_dcache_page() in the
page struct.

When building a 64bit kernel sometimes functions in the .init section were not
able to reach the standard kernel function. Main reason for this problem is,
that the linkage tables (.plt, .opd, .dlt) tend to become pretty huge and thus
the distance gets too big for short calls.
One option to avoid this is to use the -mlong-calls compiler option, but this
increases the binary size and introduces a performance penalty.
Instead, with this patch we just lay out the binary differently. Init code is
stored first, followed by text, R/O and finally R/W data. This means, that init
and text code is now much closer to each other, which is sufficient to reach
each other by short calls.
