Commit 1400eb65 (MIPS: r4k,octeon,r2300: stack protector: change canary
per task) was merged in v3.11 and introduced assembly in the MIPS resume
functions to update the value of the current canary in
__stack_chk_guard. However it used PTR_L resulting in a load of the
canary value, instead of PTR_LA to construct its address. The value is
intended to be random but is then treated as an address in the
subsequent LONG_S (store).

This was observed to cause a fault and panic:

CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 139fea20, epc == 8000cc0c, ra == 8034f2a4
Oops[#1]:

This can also be forced by modifying
arch/mips/include/asm/stackprotector.h so that the default
__stack_chk_guard value is more likely to be a bad (or unaligned)
pointer.

Fix it to use PTR_LA instead, to load the address of the canary value,
which the LONG_S can then use to write into it.

For non-SMP, uses the new random canary value that is stored in the
task struct whenever a new task is forked.  Based on ARM version in
df0698be and subject to the same
limitations: the variable GCC expects, __stack_chk_guard, is global,
so this will not work on SMP.

Quoting Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>: "One way to overcome this
GCC limitation would be to locate the __stack_chk_guard variable into
a memory page of its own for each CPU, and then use TLB locking to
have each CPU see its own page at the same virtual address for each of
them."

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

So far we're jumping through hoops to keep the file usable from assembler
source but it's getting just too painful.  Turns out that many uses of
<asm/page.h> are unnecessary anyway, so just remove those.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: Cosmetic changes; also fixed up r2300_switch.S and
octeon_switch.S which needed similar modifications.]

The commit 4d40bff7110e9e1a97ff8c01bdd6350e9867cc10 ("Allow CpU
exception in kernel partially") was broken.  The commit was to fix
theoretical problem but broke usual case.  Revert it for now.

Removed obsolete stuff from arch makefile.
mips had a special rule for generating asm-offsets.h so preserved it
using an architecture specific hook in top-level Kbuild file.
Renamed .h file to asm-offsets.h

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
