The MIPS implementation of die() forgets to call notify_die() and thus notifiers
registered via register_die_notifier() are not called. This results in kgdb not
being activated on exceptions.
The only subtlety is that notify_die declares its regs argument w/o const, so
the const had to be removed from mips die() as well.

In the 64-bit kernel we use swapper_pg_dir for three different things.
1) xuseg mappings for kernel threads.
2) vmap mappings for all kernel-space accesses in xkseg.
3) vmap mappings for kernel modules in ksseg (kseg2).
Due to how the TLB refill handlers work, any mapping established in
xkseg or ksseg will also establish a xuseg mapping that should never
be used by the kernel.
In order to be able to use exceptions to trap NULL pointer
dereferences, we need to ensure that nothing is mapped at address
zero. Since vmap mappings in xkseg are reflected in xuseg, this means
we need to ensure that there are no vmap mappings established at the
start of xkseg. So we move back VMALLOC_START to avoid establishing
vmap mappings at the start of xkseg.

Previously it was unconditionally used on all Sibyte family SOCs. The
M3 bug has to be handled in the TLB exception handler which is extremly
performance sensitive, so this modification is expected to deliver around
2-3% performance improvment. This is important as required changes to the
M3 workaround will make it more costly.

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.

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.

Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.
There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.
Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.
