This reverts commit d27dfa13b9.
Unfortunately, this patch needs to be reverted. We need the full sync
barrier and not the limited barrier provided by using an ordered store.
The sync ensures that all accesses and cache purge instructions that
follow the sync are performed after all such instructions prior the sync
instruction have completed executing.
The patch breaks the rwlock implementation in glibc. This caused the
test-lock application in the libprelude testsuite to hang. With the
change reverted, the test runs correctly and the libprelude package
builds successfully.

Change the currently empty defines for __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED,

This makes it possible to use __is_defined() to test if the

There are only two 64-bit architecture ports that have a 32-bit
suseconds_t: sparc64 and parisc64. I've encountered a number of problems
with this, while trying to get a proper 64-bit time_t working on 32-bit
architectures. Having a 32-bit suseconds_t combined with a 64-bit time_t
means that we get extra padding in data structures that may leak kernel
stack data to user space, and it breaks all code that assumes that
timespec and timeval have the same layout.
While we can't change sparc64, it seems that glibc on parisc64 has always
set suseconds_t to 'long', and the current version would give incorrect
results for gettimeofday() and many other interfaces: timestamps passed
from user space into the kernel result in tv_usec being always zero
(the lower bits contain the intended value but are ignored) while data
passed from the kernel to user space contains either zeroes or random
data in tv_usec.
Based on that, it seems best to change the user API in the kernel in
an incompatible way to match what glibc expects.
Note that the distros I could find (gentoo and debian) all just
have 32-bit user space, which does not suffer from this problem.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
that work.
The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
fields.
At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
bytes.
This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.
I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.
Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
complexity necessary to handle that case.
Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
signal numbers are handled"

The attached change removes the pte_inserted from pgtable.h. As a
result, we always flush the TLB entry when the associated page table
entry is changed.
This change doesn't impact performance signifcantly and it may catch
some cases where the TLB needs flushing but wasn't.

This patch adds the necessary code to patch a running kernel at runtime
to improve performance.
The current implementation offers a few optimizations variants:
- When running a SMP kernel on a single UP processor, unwanted assembler
statements like locking functions are overwritten with NOPs. When
multiple instructions shall be skipped, one branch instruction is used
instead of multiple nop instructions.
- In the UP case, some pdtlb and pitlb instructions are patched to
become pdtlb,l and pitlb,l which only flushes the CPU-local tlb
entries instead of broadcasting the flush to other CPUs in the system
and thus may improve performance.
- fic and fdc instructions are skipped if no I- or D-caches are
installed. This should speed up qemu emulation and cacheless systems.
- If no cache coherence is needed for IO operations, the relevant fdc
and sync instructions in the sba and ccio drivers are replaced by
nops.
- On systems which share I- and D-TLBs and thus don't have a seperate
instruction TLB, the pitlb instruction is replaced by a nop.
Live-patching is done early in the boot process, just after having run
the system inventory. No drivers are running and thus no external
interrupts should arrive. So the hope is that no TLB exceptions will
occur during the patching. If this turns out to be wrong we will
probably need to do the patching in real-mode.
