GCC 4.1 gives the following warning: include/asm/mpspec.h:79: warning:
`packed' attribute ignored for field of type `unsigned char'
The packed attribute isn't really necessary anyways so just remove it.

When we bring up a new CPU via INIT/startup IPI messages, the CPU that's
coming up sends a xTPR message to the chipset. Intel chipsets (at least)
don't provide any architectural guarantee on what the chipset will do with
this message. For example, the E850x chipsets uses this xTPR message to
interpret the interrupt operating mode of the platform. When the CPU
coming online sends this message, it always indicates that it is in logical
flat mode. For the CPU hotplug case, the platform may already be
functioning in cluster APIC mode at this time, the chipset can get confused
and mishandle I/O device and IPI interrupt routing.
The situation eventually gets corrected when the new CPU sends another xTPR
update when we switch it to cluster mode, but there's a window during which
the chipset may be in an inconsistent state. This patch avoids this
problem by using the flat physical interrupt delivery mode instead of
cluster mode for bigsmp (>8 cpu) support.

Bug fix required for the .rodata work on x86-64:
when change_page_attr() and friends need to break up a 2Mb page into 4Kb
pages, it always set the NX bit on the PMD, which causes the cpu to consider
the entire 2Mb region to be NX regardless of the actual PTE perms. This is
fine in general, with one big exception: the 2Mb page that covers the last
part of the kernel .text! The fix is to not invent a new permission for the
new PMD entry, but to just inherit the existing one minus the PSE bit.

The one remaining caller of set_limit, the PnP BIOS code, calls into the PnP
BIOS, passing kernel parameters in and out. These parameteres may be passed
from arbitrary kernel virtual memory, so they deserve strict protection to
stop a bad BIOS from smashing beyond the object size.
Unfortunately, the use of set_limit was badly botching this by setting the
limit in terms of pages, when it really should have byte granularity.
When doing this, I discovered my BIOS had the buggy code during the "get
system device node" call:
mov ax, es:[bx]
Which is harmless, but has a trivial workaround.

Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a
hypervisor. This prevents false sharing of the GDT page with other hot
data, which is not allowed in Xen, and causes performance problems in
VMware.
Rather than go back to the old method of statically allocating the GDT
(which wastes unneded space for non-present CPUs), the GDT for APs is
allocated dynamically.

The attached patch improves the signal handling:
(1) It makes do_signal() static as it isn't called from anywhere outside of
the arch code.
(2) It removes the regs argument to all the static functions within that file,
using __frame instead (which is the same thing held in a global register).

Make the futex code compilable and usable on NOMMU by making the attempt to
handle page faults conditional on CONFIG_MMU. If this is not enabled, then
we can assume that EFAULT returned from futex_atomic_op_inuser() is not
recoverable, and that the address lies outside of valid memory.
handle_mm_fault() is made to BUG if called on NOMMU without attempting to
invoke the actual handler (__handle_mm_fault).

The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new
ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel.
The following changes are made:
(1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to
allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem
code.
(2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying
the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to
attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode.
(3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.

The attached patch makes ramfs support shared-writable mmaps by:
(1) Attempting to perform a contiguous block allocation to the requested size
when truncate attempts to increase the file from zero size, such as
happens when:
fd = shm_open("/file/on/ramfs", ...):
ftruncate(fd, size_requested);
addr = mmap(NULL, subsize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED,
fd, offset);
(2) Permitting any shared-writable mapping over any contiguous set of extant
pages. get_unmapped_area() will return the address into the actual ramfs
pages. The mapping may start anywhere and be of any size, but may not go
over the end of file. Multiple mappings may overlap in any way.
(3) Not permitting a file to be shrunk if it would truncate any shared
mappings (private mappings are copied).
Thus this patch provides support for POSIX shared memory on NOMMU kernels,
with certain limitations such as there being a large enough block of pages
available to support the allocation and it only working on directly mappable
filesystems.
