Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

arch/tile: don't validate CROSS_COMPILE needlessly
arch/tile: export only COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to userspace.
arch/tile: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN
arch/tile: Rename the hweight() implementations to __arch_hweight()
arch/tile: extend syscall ABI to set r1 on return as well.
arch/tile: Various cleanups.
arch/tile: support backtracing on TILE-Gx
arch/tile: Fix a couple of issues with the COMPAT code for TILE-Gx.
arch/tile: Use separate, better minsec values for clocksource and sched_clock.
arch/tile: correct a bug in freeing bootmem by VA for the optional second initrd.
arch: tile: mm: pgtable.c: Removed duplicated #include
arch: tile: kernel/proc.c Removed duplicated #include
Add fanotify syscalls to <asm-generic/unistd.h>.
arch/tile: support new kunmap_atomic() naming convention.
tile: remove unused ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD define
Conflicts in arch/tile/configs/tile_defconfig (pick the mainline version
with the reduced defconfig).
With this change, the arch/tile Makefile will only check for a valid
combination of CROSS_COMPILE vs "uname -m" for a few common targets
that are typically the ones we get wrong (vmlinux, all, and modules).
The change handles the case of an empty "make" goal like "make all".

Until now, the tile architecture ABI for syscall return has just been
that r0 holds the return value, and an error is only signalled like it is
for kernel code, with a negative small number.
However, this means that in multiple places in userspace we end up writing
the same three-cycle idiom that tests for a small negative number for
error. It seems cleaner to instead move that code into the kernel, and
set r1 to hold zero on success or errno on failure; previously, r1 was
just zeroed on return from the kernel (to avoid leaking kernel state).
This way a single conditional branch after the syscall is sufficient
to test for the failure case. The number of cycles taken is the same,
but the error-checking code is in just one place, so total code size is
smaller, and random userspace syscall code is easier to understand.

This change rolls up random cleanups not representing any actual bugs.
- Remove a stale CONFIG_ value from the default tile_defconfig
- Remove unused tns_atomic_xxx() family of methods from <asm/atomic.h>
- Optimize get_order() using Tile's "clz" instruction
- Fix a bad hypervisor upcall name (not currently used in Linux anyway)
- Use __copy_in_user_inatomic() name for consistency, and export it
- Export some additional hypervisor driver I/O upcalls and some homecache calls
- Remove the obfuscating MEMCPY_TEST_WH64 support code
- Other stray comment cleanups, #if 0 removal, etc.

This functionality was stubbed out until recently. Now we support our
normal backtracing API on TILE-Gx as well as on TILE64/TILEPro.
This change includes a tweak to the instruction encoding caused by
adding addxli for compat mode.

First, the siginfo preamble wasn't quite right; we need to indicate
that we are padding up to 4 ints of preamble for 64-bit code, and
then for compat mode we need to pad differently, using only 3 ints.
Second, the C ABI requires a save area of two registers, not two
pointers, since in compat mode we have 64-bit registers all of which
we need to save, even though we only have 32-bit VAs.

We were using the same 5-sec minsec for the clocksource and sched_clock
that we were using for the clock_event_device. For the clock_event_device
that's exactly right since it has a short maximum countdown time.
But for sched_clock we want to avoid wraparound when converting from
ticks to nsec over a much longer window, so we force a shift of 10.
And for clocksource it seems dodgy to use a 5-sec minsec as well, so we
copy some other platforms and force a shift of 22.

Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt). So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers. We have only one user of the API in tree. Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.
Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all. It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all. It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.
Let's remove this API.

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures
defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN). So we
can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.
Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment. So
fully-coherent architectures should return 1. This patch also fixes this
issue.

None of these changes fix any actual bugs, but are just various cleanups
that fell out along the way. In particular, some unused #defines and
includes are removed, PREFETCH_STRIDE is added (the default is right for
our shipping chips, but wrong for our next generation), our tile-specific
prefetching code is removed so the (identical) generic prefetching code
can be used instead, a comment is fixed to be proper GPL and not just a
"paste GPL here" token, a "//" comment is converted to "/* */", etc.
