This patch fixes the lockdep warning of "unannotated irqs-off"[1].

After entering __irq_usr, arm core will disable interrupt automatically,
but __irq_usr does not annotate the irq disable, so lockdep may complain
the warning if it has chance to check this in irq handler.

This patch adds trace_hardirqs_off in __irq_usr before entering irq_handler
to handle the irq, also calls ret_to_user_from_irq to avoid calling
disable_irq again.

This is also a fix for irq off tracer.

interval when returning to userspace.  Tracing userspace execution time
as interrupts disabled time is not helpful for kernel performance

If a signal hits us outside of a syscall and another gets delivered
when we are in sigreturn (e.g. because it had been in sa_mask for
the first one and got sent to us while we'd been in the first handler),
we have a chance of returning from the second handler to location one
insn prior to where we ought to return.  If r0 happens to contain -513
(-ERESTARTNOINTR), sigreturn will get confused into doing restart
syscall song and dance.

Incredible joy to debug, since it manifests as random, infrequent and
very hard to reproduce double execution of instructions in userland
code...

The fix is simple - mark it "don't bother with restarts" in wrapper,
i.e. set r8 to 0 in sys_sigreturn and sys_rt_sigreturn wrappers,
suppressing the syscall restart handling on return from these guys.
They can't legitimately return a restart-worthy error anyway.

Testcase:
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <signal.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <sys/time.h>
	#include <errno.h>

	void f(int n)
	{
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"ldr r0, [%0]\n"
			"b 1f\n"
			"b 2f\n"
			"1:b .\n"
			"2:\n" : : "r"(&n));
	}

	void handler1(int sig) { }
	void handler2(int sig) { raise(1); }
	void handler3(int sig) { exit(0); }

	main()
	{
		struct sigaction s = {.sa_handler = handler2};
		struct itimerval t1 = { .it_value = {1} };
		struct itimerval t2 = { .it_value = {2} };

		signal(1, handler1);

		sigemptyset(&s.sa_mask);
		sigaddset(&s.sa_mask, 1);
		sigaction(SIGALRM, &s, NULL);

		signal(SIGVTALRM, handler3);

		setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &t1, NULL);
		setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &t2, NULL);

		f(-513); /* -ERESTARTNOINTR */

		write(1, "buggered\n", 9);

This adds mcount recording and updates dynamic ftrace for ARM to work
with the new ftrace dyamic tracing implementation.  It also adds support
for the mcount format used by newer ARM compilers.

With dynamic tracing, mcount() is implemented as a nop.  Callsites are
patched on startup with nops, and dynamically patched to call to the
ftrace_caller() routine as needed.

Fix the mcount routines to build and run on a kernel built with the
Thumb-2 instruction set by correcting the following errors using the
fixes suggested by Catalin Marinas:

 - Problem: The following assembler errors appear at the "adr r0,
   ftrace_stub" instruction:

   entry-common.S: Assembler messages:
   entry-common.S:179: Error: invalid immediate for address calculation (value = 0x00000004)

   Fix: The errors don't occur with a non-global symbol, so use one.

 - Problem: The "mov lr, pc" does not set the lsb when storing the pc in
   lr.  The called function returns with "bx lr", and the mode changes
   to ARM.

   Fix: Add a label on the return address and use "adr lr, BSYM(label)".

We don't modify the old mcount because it won't be built when using
Thumb-2.

This patch adds support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to ARM's
signal handling, which allows to hook up the pselect6, ppoll,
and epoll_pwait syscalls on ARM.

Tested here with eabi userspace and a test program with a
deliberate race between a child's exit and the parent's
sigprocmask/select sequence. Using sys_pselect6() instead
of sigprocmask/select reliably prevents the race.

The other arch's support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK has evolved
over time:

In 2.6.16:
- add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK which parallels TIF_SIGPENDING
- test both when checking for pending signal [changed later]
- reimplement sys_sigsuspend() to use current->saved_sigmask,
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK [changed later], and -ERESTARTNOHAND;
  ditto for sys_rt_sigsuspend(), but drop private code and
  use common code via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND;
- there are now no "extra" calls to do_signal() so its oldset
  parameter is always &current->blocked so need not be passed,
  also its return value is changed to void
- change handle_signal() to return 0/-errno
- change do_signal() to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
  + get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
    is set
  + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
  + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
    clear it and restore the sigmask
- hook up sys_pselect6() and sys_ppoll()

In 2.6.19:
- hook up sys_epoll_pwait()

In 2.6.26:
- allow archs to override how TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is implemented;
  default set_restore_sigmask() sets both TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and
  TIF_SIGPENDING; archs need now just test TIF_SIGPENDING again
  when checking for pending signal work; some archs now implement
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as a secondary/non-atomic thread flag bit
- call set_restore_sigmask() in sys_sigsuspend() instead of setting
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK

In 2.6.29-rc:
- kill sys_pselect7() which no arch wanted

So for 2.6.31-rc6/ARM this patch does the following:
- Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK. Use the generic set_restore_sigmask()
  which sets both TIF_SIGPENDING and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, so
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK need not claim one of the scarce low thread
  flags, and existing TIF_SIGPENDING and _TIF_WORK_MASK tests need
  not be extended for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.
- sys_sigsuspend() is reimplemented to use current->saved_sigmask
  and set_restore_sigmask(), making it identical to most other archs
- The private code for sys_rt_sigsuspend() is removed, instead
  generic code supplies it via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND.
- sys_sigsuspend() and sys_rt_sigsuspend() no longer need a pt_regs
  parameter, so their assembly code wrappers are removed.
- handle_signal() is changed to return 0 on success or -errno.
- The oldset parameter to do_signal() is now redundant and removed,
  and the return value is now also redundant and changed to void.
- do_signal() is changed to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
  + get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
    is set
  + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
  + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
    clear it and restore the sigmask
- Hook up sys_pselect6, sys_ppoll, and sys_epoll_pwait.

gcc seems to expect that lr isn't clobbered by mcount, because for a
function starting with:

	static int func(void)
	{
		void *ra = __builtin_return_address(0);

		printk(KERN_EMERG "__builtin_return_address(0) = %pS\n", ra)

		...

the following assembler is generated by gcc 4.3.2:

	   0:   e1a0c00d        mov     ip, sp
	   4:   e92dd810        push    {r4, fp, ip, lr, pc}
	   8:   e24cb004        sub     fp, ip, #4      ; 0x4
	   c:   ebfffffe        bl      0 <mcount>
	  10:   e59f0034        ldr     r0, [pc, #52]
	  14:   e1a0100e        mov     r1, lr
	  18:   ebfffffe        bl      0 <printk>

Without this patch obviously __builtin_return_address(0) yields
func+0x10 instead of the return address of the caller.

Note this patch fixes a similar issue for the routines used with dynamic
ftrace even though this isn't currently selectable for ARM.

Patch from Paul Brook

The old-abi sys_syscall syscall is broken when called from Thumb mode. It
assumes the syscall number is an Arm syscall number (ie. starts from
__NR_OABI_SYSCALL_BASE).  In thumb mode syscall numbers start from zero.

The patch below fixes this by clearing the nigh bits of the syscall number
instead of inverting them. Technically this means we accept some invalid
syscall numbers, but I can't see how that could be a problem. The two sets of
numbers far apart that unimplemented syscalls should still be rejected.

ARM entry-common.S needs to know syscall table size; in itself that would
not be a problem, but there's an additional constraint - some of the
instructions using it want a constant that would be a multiple of 4.
So we have to pad syscall table with sys_ni_syscall and that's where
the trouble begins.  .rept pseudo-op wants a constant expression for
number of repetitions and subtraction of two labels (before and after
syscall table) doesn't always get simplified to constant early enough
for .rept.  If labels end up in different frags, we lose.  And while
the frag size is large enough (slightly below 4Kb), the syscall table
is about 1/3 of that.  We used to get away with that, but the recent
changes had been enough to trigger the breakage.

Proper fix is simple: have a macro (CALL(x)) to populate the table
instead of using explicit .long x and the first time we include calls.S
have it defined to .equ NR_syscalls,NR_syscalls+1.  Then we can find
the proper amount of padding on the first inclusion simply by looking
at NR_syscalls at that time.  And that will be constant, no matter what.

Moreover, the same trick kills the need of having an estimate of padded
NR_syscalls - it will be calculated for free at the same time.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

This is needed by strace to properly handle the tracing of some system
calls. It could be useful for other applications as well.

Based on an earlier patch from Daniel Jacobowitz.
